Some things never change. From Rob Ford to Pierre Poilevre to Doug Ford, those with no vision want to wreck our waterfront with jets. Did a few interviews today on how our revitalized waterfront is far too important than to wreck with jets. Support NoJetsTO by visiting NoJetsTO.com! #topoli #cdnpoli

Kristi Noem's $220M Horseback Riding Ad Dwarfed the Budgets of These 2026 Oscar Nominees Outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem used $220 million in taxpayer money to create a minute-long anti-immigration ad. That's more than the combined production and marketing budgets of nearly every 2026 ...

Think I might have located some of that fraud, waste, and abuse.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

So I know I'm a crank, but the health of the Great Lakes is no joke and involves coordinating 8 states and 3 provinces across 2 countries, and it's actually fucking offensive to me, someone who lives here and likes drinking water, to use the cooperation to throw a threat/insult at Canada.
