Under the Ford Cons, #Ontario #college presidents have seen whopping salary increases, while students have paid the price with slashed programs and closed campuses. #NeverVoteConservative #ONpoli

Doug Ford addresses Trump's auto tariffs... with a song! | This Hour Has 22 Minutes
He put a levy on our Chevys so the factories die... #onpoli
@ColinDMello: NEW: Premier Doug Ford: the positive thing is Canada wasn’t on the list.
The premier says it’s “good news” that Canada wasn’t mentioned but cautions it could change.

Just came across this interview yesterday between CNN and Mélanie Joly where she mentions there have been talks between the Prime Minister of Canada and President of Mexico.
Good to see that that discussion is finally happening at the highest levels.
At the end, she is asked whether Canada and the USA are in a Trade War now. She answers yes, of course we are.

11 minute interview between CNBC and Doug Ford and there is ALOT to unpack. The stupidity of the US commentators here talking to Doug Ford is just... 
Joe Kernen (sp) called Mark Carney, a former central banker, a “zealot”. A ZEALOT!? 
Because he believes in climate change apparently, or 'climate justice’ as he put it?
Obviously these fools still believe we can just burn down the planet and their investment portfolios will be just fine.
This was after there was sudden mass confusion on the American talking head side when Ford said Canada would get rid of all tariffs if the USA got rid of theres... obviously meaning the reciprocal tariffs Canada has put on, but apparently the talking heads thought he meant the tariffs Trump complains about (which by all accounts have never been applied)... which we should all know is just another smokescreen to Trump's actual intention, which is authoritarian, centralized control and manipulation of the market and thus economy of the United States and, in his hope, the world.
These are the same people who a year ago would have been cheerleading NAFTA/CUSMA... whose very purpose is tariff free trade.
Oh and "Joe" also tries to bait Ford into giving an opinion on Carney winning the election, Ford smartly avoids (as is Canadian political practice) much to Joe's chagrin.
Ford does an OK job overall here but I am saddened at the shot he takes at Mexico on "cheap parts" and talking about a "CUSA” deal without Mexico.
I don't understand Canada and Mexico's reluctance to work together through all this. There is obviously some sort of tension there that is not being communicated with the public of Canada, not sure about Mexico.
Also, if he thinks China is a bigger 'enemy' than the USA, he's fooling himself, but I suspect this is just the message he wants to portray to the Americans to try to get them to see reason.

Centennial College suspends more programs, cuts staff
In Toronto Library contract negotiations "Key bargaining points were 'safety & security', 'harassment' & 'workplace violence.' … public libraries have been pressed into service as de facto homeless shelters & support service locations. They’ve become hotbeds of people in crisis.
It's #homelessness all the way down."
Trump is about to make the Toronto homelessness crisis worse:

Of the 122 federal ridings in Ontario, SmartVoting says the strategic voting choice in 120 of them is Liberal.
They only refrain from boosting the Libs twice -choosing the NDP in London-Fanshawe and Green in Kitchener Centre. 2 out of 122.
Even in ridings with an NDP incumbent where the Lib came second - like in Windsor West or Hamilton Centre or Kapuskasing - they still say to strategically vote Lib to keep out the Cons.

Culturally the thing I’m thinking about regarding Pierre’s “women are only useful when their reproducing” bullshit is that… are we really in a housing crisis when the explicit message is you can’t have kids if you don’t own a fucking single family home? It’s classist bullshit, its racial in nature if you see who live in multi-unit buildings, and it perpetuates the ladder that has led us to the fucking attic of capitalized housing #canada #cdnpoli #ottawa #onpoli #ontario
In February, the Canadian Association of University Teachers published this brief provincial breakdown of funding for post-secondary education. It includes two striking graphs on declining provincial funding vs the growing share paid by tuition. Ontario, where I teach, is obviously the worst of an increasingly bad bunch.
Everybody is rejoicing that #gas is cheaper now, but when the country is ablaze in fires, ppl lose their homes, first responders perish & smoke covers the skies for days, Imma gonna remind them the "the tax was axed" so time to burn ...idiots #carbontax #canpoli #cdnpoli #onpoli
The age breakdown with under 35s prominently approving of PP and CPC is actually frightening
Young voters are going far right
CPC have launched their election platform - sound familiar?
Look what's happening in the US to academics, students and universities, it's frightening
Poilievre isn't hiding the fact he relishes bringing this to Canada
Fight it, vote!! Your future and your children's future depends on Conservatives getting destroyed
#Ontario has a doctor shortage.
I've seen 0 outreach to #US doctors to move here to practice.
The only outreach i've seen is from BC and the federal government.
It's awful knowing how much Doug Ford wants Ontario to go down the same path the US is going, and that the only thing holding him back is his lack of principles and narcissism.
