An #Ontario#university is the first major educational institution in #Canada to reach an #agreement with on-campus protestors and vows not to invest in companies benefitting from the war in #Gaza.
If #Poilievre & his conservatives can convince the populace the other side is destined to lose, progressives won't turn out to vote.
"What's the point, they're going to lose anyway"
It was a supremely effective strategy in electing #DougFord to his second term.
Ignore the polls and vote today!
Hey #Bowmanville, Scugog, Courtice, North #Oshawa:
This is your #Poilievre conservative candidate running in the Durham by-election on Monday, March 4.

Resigned as top advisor to #DougFord
Fired by Bell Media for anti-science, anti-vax, anti-#LGBTQ comments
Does not live in Durham riding
Best friends with megaMAGA, Senator JD Vance (Tump running mate hopeful)
A new Canadian federal party called the "Canadian Future Party" is getting ready to launch.
The interim leader is Dominic Cardy, a former member of Premier Higgs N.B. conservative gov't. Big players include Andrew Coyne, Lisa Raitt, General Hillier, and a collection of Stephen Harper conservative team members.
They are branding themselves as a "voice for pragmatic, centrist Canadians."
Slim media coverage so far, tho.
Pissed about Ontario's GreenbeIt? I don't think Environmental Defence has made it to Mastodon yet(?), but they have a calendar for upcoming rallies you can bookmark on their website. There's one in Pickering this Sunday August 13, and I would think more to come: https://environmentaldefence.ca/handsoffthegreenbelt/#rallies
Smoke smell and particulates in the air are not good in Toronto right now, we are just on the edge of air quality alerts this morning, and much of Ontario is already at great risk. It will get worse during the day, then a bit better, then worse tomorrow. This image is the current https://firesmoke.ca forecast for Thursday morning.
