Fidani-Diker worked as Ford's EA & mgr of stakeholder relations in his office & w/ Conservative Party. Also worked for Ford's brother mayor Rob Ford. He has known Premier Ford for a long time, as their families are friends & attended both stag & doe & wedding of Ford's daughter. #ONpoli
In 25 years of covering national security, Iβve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
"Russian State Media Targets New Canadian Liberal Party Leader Mark Carney."
Expect their American outlet, Fox Newz, to repeat their talking points soon. And then Donald Trump to repeat them. #cdnpoli
In 2008, the ambassador for Katimavik came to visit kids & parents in the tiny town of Listowel, ON. In 2016, the newly elected PM didnβt think twice when we asked him for a pic. Justin Trudeau, I am proud of you & grateful for your service. You did your father & your country proud. π» #elbowsup
Thank You PMJT and ALL the Best Just Trudeau
This is some of what you contributed to Canada.

Ontarians! Here's a fantastic site documenting Doug Ford's disaster as Premier. From dismantling public healthcare and education to wasting billions on pet projects, enriching developers, and the private sector. (Starlink deal is still on!!)

these are the kind of moves that'll eventually move the needle towards shifting power away from tech oligarchs
Screencap of an online form complaint to the CBC Ombudsman. Text reads: The proposed topic for the Sunday February 23rd, "51st State: A cross border conversation" is a lazy, dangerous and click baity excuse for journalism that I would expect to see on Fox news, not on our nations broadcaster. Mr. Hanomansing and team have really dropped the ball with this. While the subject matter is well deserving of debate and profile, the approach that the shows producers have taken does not seem to even approach, let alone meet the journalistic standards I've come to expect from the CBC.Β
Hey folks rather than quote tweeting links from Cross Country Checkup or Hanomansing, giving them engagement they so desperately crave, I'd suggest taken 3 minutes and writing to the CBC Ombudsman who will take our complaints seriously.

Donate to Libraries.
Libraries are our final defense against fascism.
Doug Ford axed library funding in half. Toronto's library system is the largest on the planet.
These are not the actions of someone who believes in democracy. They're the actions of a fascist.

Iβve logged out of all Meta properties and itβs amazing how much I automatically turn to them to scroll. Itβs been a good method for watching my usage and decreasing my time on those platforms.
Excited that two of my favourite comic artists are collaborating, might have to re-read these while Iβm waiting.
Donald Trumpβs fundamental advantage is that almost no one remembers anything.
A) thanks for the lead to Sarah's substack and B) THANKS for the nod re: RSS feeds! ππ»
so I am happy and grateful to bring all of my experience and work within political systems, communications and marketing, strategy and operations to support an amazing ground crew and New Majority's leadership.
Wish me luck -- it's gonna be an interesting year ahead.
-- which is to work within the system to impact the system.
To my core I believe in peace, order, and good government --
...I feel like I have to explain why I'll be going radio silent for the foreseeable future.
The best part about taking on this role is that I get to bundle my despair about the current political climate and take the route that I've always known, ever since my student politics days in the 1990s --
The hardest thing about taking on this new role is that it requires, for the integrity of the work, to remain strictly non-partisan from here on out. So, for everyone that has come to expect me to comment or respond to headlines or issues...
Anyone that knows me, knows that I have opinions. Often, very strong opinions. And those opinions are often about politics, our political parties, their leaders, and all levels of policy. Especially around elections.
As we collectively count down the hours until the holiday break, I'm happy to share that I'm taking on a new role as the Director of Communications and Campaigns for New Majority, a non-partisan, not-for-profit whose mandate is to get out the vote for youth and first-time voters.
I don't have any other merch than this. It feels like the right time to highlight the sentiment that I hope many of us embrace in the holidays and new year. Discounts on items and shipping for holiday shopping, apparently. cottonbureau.com/p/VVBMD5/shi...

A cartoon image depicting a man in formal attire with a stern expression standing next to a restroom sign labeled "Women." He is speaking to a young woman wearing a skirt and a long-sleeved shirt, saying, "Let me see your genitals first!" The illustration appears to be a commentary on gender and access to gendered spaces.
How bathroom bans actually work.
Jarvis: His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist, and now the fascist is in charge and it is journalism's job to cover it that way, not to back off and say okay, well that's it, we lost. Let the fascism happen. No
New Brunswick measles outbreak spreads to 44 people, mostly unvaccinated children: The outbreak is the largest the province has seen in more than 30 years, with more than 80 per cent of the cases diagnosed in people under the age of 19
