Big Brave “Captain Canada” #DougFord in #Ontario 🤣 “When you have a premier who is running away from the people, you got a big problem, and that's where we're at right now. Doug Ford doesn't want to be asked the difficult questions, not by the media and not by the opposition,” Stiles said.

Senator Whitehouse pointing out how absolutely ludicrous it is to vote for Todd Blanche. There will never be any justice for the Epstein survivors, no justice for the families of the victims of ICE andno justice for the Capitol police that were attacked on Jan. 6. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Here's another nose-stretcher from the Canadian Press. Some dude claims Canada is as anti-semitic as Nazi Germany and national media give him an unquestioned platform. Isn't there someone in an editorial newsroom somewhere who asks the obvious question "Why would we repost such bullshit?"

Even trying to *get* a protection order put my life at risk. The most recent femicides here in Ontario involved women being killed by men they had protection orders against. The system needs to change.
