So, uh...today's Toronto Sun cover? #ONpoli #OnElxn
I mean...jfc
Bears worth repeating that this photo exists, and that this is the company Doug Ford has been happy to keep.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not going to share or link to it, but I will take no lessons or lectures about anything from the newspaper that published that 2014 cartoon of Olivia Chow.

Justin Trudeau's politics in a nutshell: Make grand, sweeping pronouncements and reap the precious political capital; then actively work against the commitment you ostensibly made huffingtonpost.ca/2018/10/03/lib… #cdnpoli
This has been a consistent feature of Trudeau's government and the way it conducts itself generally. Consider Carolyn Bennett going before the UN in the summer of 2016 to adopt UNDRIP and compare to the posture the government assumed mere months later:
Or consider the way the government has tended to posture around the issue of economic inequality on the world stage: in Europe, Trudeau sounds the alarm about rising inequality and in Canada he opposes universal programs and cuts taxes for people making 200K a year

Neoliberalism is many things, but one of its most dynamic innovations is rationalizing and legitimizing unspeakable greed as mere "economics"
I've made the point before (and others have too) but consider how both min wages and welfare are often discussed and framed versus, say, tax cuts for the wealthy or sky-high executive compensation
The former are framed as obstacles or impediments to "the economy" which in turn is framed as a dispassionate and rational system; the latter as necessary to make it function "naturally"

Soooo Bernie Sanders is debating Ted Cruz. Let's do this. #CnnDebateNight
Cruz's starting premise that all taxes apply to everyone is, uh, flawed. #CnnDebateNight
One of the most noxious pieces of right wing agitprop over the past few decades is idea that cutting rich people's taxes benefits everyone

Based on what I know of Doug Ford, here's what I think we can expect from our new premier – in 10 tweets. #TOpoli #ONpoli chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/th…
1. Doug Ford will move very quickly. Doug is an action figure who'll want to demonstrate that there’s a new alpha male running Ontario. No time – and no need - for careful analysis before acting.
2. Doug Ford will be persistently combative. Doug is a brawler who won the fight. The other side can try to swing back – and he'll be delighted if they do, so he has a reason to flatten them again.

This election is about change for the better. And it’s never been more possible. #onpoli #OnElxn
Let’s come together. Let’s stop Doug Ford’s cutting and privatizing plan in its tracks. Let’s fix our health care system, have dental coverage for everyone and make life more affordable for families. Let’s come together, and make change for the better happen. #onpoli #OnElxn
Kathleen Wynne has abandoned the fight against Doug Ford's cuts. And her request today for a minority government is a demand that she be allowed to continue to hold the power at Queen’s Park – something voters have already rejected. #OnElxn #onpoli

💥 THREAD 💥 #NeverNDP (1 of 13)

The #ON #NDP are not the answer. #Horwath as failed time and again. I have no idea why the party has kept her in this long. This will be her 4th? 5th? loss. It's a very dumb party. Any other party would have replaced her after the 2nd loss. ...2
Don't believe what you read/hear about @fordnation! Slanderous lies and fake narratives that everyone just runs with; even the media.

He's not a drug dealer. For heaven-sake! Ridiculous lies. Did he sell weed when he was 18? Who knows. F%ck, it was the 80s. Who didn't? 😜 ...3
He loved his brother. He tried so hard to help him; to protect him. Rob (a great guy) was mentally ill. An addict. At the lowest point in his life. And the media (the Toronto Star mostly) completely butchered him. What he needed was compassion. ...4

Hey, @ElectionsON, we have a problem. 2 MPPs (@CMartinsForMPP & @DipikaDamerla), @OntLiberal candidates @BobbieDaid & @LeisaforWhitby and @Kathleen_Wynne staffer @AshleyCsanady have all colluded with unregistered third party Women for Wynne. #onpoli #ONelxn #cdnpoli
And it is now confirmed Women for Wynne, which has been engaged in 3rd party advertising, is actually directly coordinating with the @OntLiberal Party.
Women for Wynne has an ad which fails to acknowledge that it is actually the @OntLiberal Party. That party has therefore violated s. 22(1)(5) of the Election Finances Act. #ONpoli #ONelxn

Let's recap this weekend in the @OntLiberal Party's apparent Election Finances Act violations! #ONpoli #ONelxn @aradwanski @CBCQueensPark @ElectionsON
Liberal Tour staffer @AshleyCsanady posts a video ad from "Women for Wynne". Which is odd, because the party shouldn't be promoting legitimate third parties, as that may constitute prohibited collusion under the Election Finances Act. #ONpoli #ONelxn
Then @AshleyCsanady responds saying that the ad "isn't from the party". Which is fine for the Liberals, but then would be a problem for Women for Wynne because it isn't registered as a third party with @ElectionsON despite appearing to spend $500.00 in ads. #ONpoli #ONelxn

Went to an open house in my son's grade one classroom today (Ontario public school). We watched and participated as the teacher took the class through a math lesson. I have some thoughts. #onpoli #onelxn #ldnont
First of all, teachers are amazing. There is no way most of us could manage a classroom, full stop, let alone also get some real education progress happening. A month from the end of school, this classroom felt alive and positive and focused. #onpoli #onelxn #ldnont
As the year has progressed, so have the walls. Now they brim with learning strategies and completed work. And as the teacher took them through the math lesson, she kept referring to the math corner of the room--and the strategies there. #onpoli #onelxn #ldnont
