“Not only has (Premier Doug) Ford walked away from post-secondary education, he’s shifted the responsibility of financing our colleges, a public good, onto students and institutions,” JP Hornick, president of OPSEU and faculty at George Brown College, said in a prepared statement.

Doug Ford wants to stack the courts with "like-minded judges." Thanks to first-past-the-post, he can keep winning unchecked majorities with just 40% of the vote.

Democracy shouldn't work this way—Ontario needs proportional representation.

Hello! I recently got my Canadian citizenship and I'm looking forward to vote in the upcoming election!

But few days ago I came to know that there was a deadline for 'registering as a liberal/conservative' for voters. I didn't know such a thing existed. What difference would whether I registered for the above or not? I assume I can still still show up at the polling station to cast my vote...?

Mayor Olivia Chow says that she’ll lead a ‘city-wide push’ to keep municipal money in Canada

Speaking at a news conference Monday, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow says she'll lead a "city-wide push to put our locally-made products and services first."

Chow says she's instructed the city manager to determine whether Toronto should end any contracts, as Ontario opted to do with Starlink, or follow in the province's footsteps and ban U.S. companies from future government contracts.

"The City of Toronto buys a lot of goods. We do have a $78-billion budget," said Chow, who will meet with Toronto's city manager on Tuesday to go over what she calls a "Toronto Action Plan" for dealing with the tariffs.

"Every aspect of how this city operates matters," she said. "It matters where we buy."

Ford’s office made the announcement Monday and said the government is also banning other American companies from provincial contracts going forward
