The brazenness of the Russians keeps growing – they are attacking Ukraine more and more often in broad daylight with dozens of strike drones. Last night there were 150 drones; this morning over fifty more; in the evening dozens more, and most of them were “shaheds.” In fact,…
💔 Bakhmut… 17 schools — gone. 29 kindergartens — gone. Thousands of homes destroyed, thousands of lives lost. A city that once sang in the world’s largest underground concert hall…is erased. The world’s silence in the face of the kremlin’s destruction is deafening.
Doug Ford more than doubled his staff from 20 to 48 on the Sunshine List making more the $100,000 a year. From $2.9M in 2019 to $6.9M in 2023. Ford has the most debt and most expensive office staff in Ont history.
Summer 2025 is now confirmed as the UK’s hottest on record. The 5 hottest summers are all since 2003: 2025, 2018, 2006, 2003 & 2022. The legendary 1976 heatwave no longer even makes the list. That was weather. This is a new climate.
The mask is off. The Ford government is replacing elected school board trustees with political insiders, silencing parents and undermining democracy. The Official Opposition NDP will fight this dangerous power grab every step of the way.

This map captures the essence of the Greenbelt. You can see how it surrounds Toronto + we have such a secure source of clean water + healthy food. Protecting the Greenbelt is not about opposing development, it is about preserving our assets. Map Credit @jeanniephan @thenarwhalca
Ford refuses to invest in kids’ classrooms, but hey centralizing power is cheaper than hiring teachers, right? Let’s be honest: Doug Ford couldn’t pass a pop quiz on education if the answers were taped to his desk. #onpoli
Local matters in our schools. @fordnation wants all decisions about your child’s school and education made by someone behind a desk in downtown Toronto. Send him a message. Schools belong to the families and communities they serve… not Queen’s Park.
The Ford government's own study showed that the plan to tunnel under the 401 is a risk to public safety and extraordinarily expensive. Why is the Premier willing to waste even more time and taxpayer money repeating it, except to benefit his inner circle of wealthy,…
NEW: Premier Doug Ford unveils his idea for the 401 tunnel: 19.5 M in diameter, eastern and western traffic lanes with transit beneath. A previous assessment of the plan determined: “Risks to public safety from impacts of the tunnel to Highway 401 such as potential for roadway…
I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota. It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.
When the math ain't mathing...Bill 24's cuts include a $42 million reduction in emergency wildfire funding yet Premier Ford has claimed to order six new water bombers with no sign of the purchase in the budget. Read about Bill 24's budget cuts here: ontarionature.org/budget-2025-pu…

Did you know #airpollution- Canadian Air Quality Standards is not decided by health science leaders but by politicians collaborating with industry, non-governmental and Indigenous organizations? WHO recommends a higher standard to protect #health. globalnews.ca/news/11276300/…
This NASA visualization shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North. There is not time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables
Scientists have told us that climate change has the potential to kill billions of people yet the media have treated it like a fringe issue with no real urgency at all. The media should never be forgiven, ever.
I was a school board trustee — even then, it was frustrating with the province controlling the purse strings. Now the Ford gov't is cutting parents out, taking over boards, and silencing local voices. I joined @MooreintheAM to talk about why we need investment, not power grabs.
Oleh was only 8. He was in a car with his family when a russian drone hit them in the Kharkiv region. He died. His parents and younger brother were wounded. Silence and delay enable this terror. Inaction is complicity. Photo @memorialua.
An absolutely hellish morning in Zaporizhzhia. russia - still a UN member - launched six Shahed strikes, acting once again like the terrorist state it is. Residential buildings and a university facility were damaged. Rescue teams are working at the scene.
I don't know how else to reach you, so I'm asking you - maybe they'll hear us this way. Please share these photos. Show them to your politicians. This is the Kyiv metro. Every night, Ukrainians hide here from Russian missiles. Families sleep on the cold floor with their children.…
