Star Investigation: As a Ford government staffer, he helped get through permits for a controversial gold mine. Now he works for the company as a lobbyist. #onpoli New from @EmmaMci: trib.al/WeC3iH3
Inspiring! After hundreds protest Hamilton data centre proposal, committee denies Steelport application Ahead of raucous planning meeting, chants of “fuck AI” filled Hamilton’s council chambers. City staff said 1,688 people submitted comments, a record. cbc.ca/news/canada/ha…
"Whitedog was not consulted and we’re downriver, same as #GrassyNarrows. Highway 17 is the worst stretch of highway between Kenora and Dryden, there’s accidents every day." — Chief Fisher, Whitedog 📢🛣️ #FreeGrassy timminstoday.com/local-news/thi… via @TimminsToday
Ottawa loves talking about forced labour when it happens overseas. But when migrant workers in Canada are tied to one employer for their job, housing, immigration status, and survival, the urgency seems to vanish. We can't keep ignoring coercion at home. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
Toronto organizers just formed the biggest tenant union in the city’s history. @saima_desai reports from the launch of @TenantsUnionTO, as they organize to tilt the scales of housing power.
Incredibly important column by @althiaraj about Carney's devastating social spending cuts. And this is just the beginning. Do all those celebrating Carney's increased military spending have any idea what we're going to lose? thestar.com/politics/polit… #cdnpoli
Mental health is part of your health. It should be part of our publicly-funded healthcare system. What do we think is worth spending money on in this country? Why does this government seem to have billions available for major projects and for bullets and bombs but not for projects that benefit all of us?
Look out, #TOpoli - @chipadovani is one of the best organizers in the country. She works night and day, building people power where she lives. Her 28 nominators are not political props: they're workers and neighbours who have her back, as she has theirs. This is what an organized community looks like. This is how we win!
The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.
The momentum is growing! Eight major labour unions amplify Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong Chiefs’ call for @markjcarney to apologize for offensive joke These statements increases pressure on Carney to go to #GrassyNarrows and apologize in person. #FreeGrassy#OutLastCarney
HAPPENING NOW: Teachers, parents and allies are inside and outside of the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan AGM demanding this pension, one of the biggest in the world, divest from the companies arming war crimes and the murder of children.
BREAKING: At a press conference today @fordnation was asked if he would compensate #GrassyNarrows for the ongoing mercury crisis. As always he ignored the question. They continues to demand fair compensation and for the Dryden Mill to be shut down. #FreeGrassy #OnPoli
“#GrassyNarrows Chief Sherry Ackabee said she wants @MarkJCarney visit her community, and nearby Wabaseemoong, to apologize for his crass comments, discuss compensation for mercury poisoning and the shutdown of the Dryden Paper Mill.” #OutLastCarney #FreeGrassy
Grassy Narrows chief wants Carney to apologize in person for comments about protester ctvnews.ca/northern-ontar…
NEW: @MarkJCarney asked this morning at Brampton press conference if he will go to #GrassyNarrows and apologize as the community has asked him to do He continues to refuse to answer the question #OutLastCarney #FreeGrassy
EDITORIAL: What is Doug Ford hiding from you? Way more than ever before thetrillium.ca/opinion/editor…
I am disgusted by the conduct of Prime Minister Carney and Premier Doug Ford, who laughed at and mocked the words of Grassy Narrows First Nations members. I echo Grassy Narrows' call on the Prime Minister to issue an apology and to meet with their leadership as soon as possible to discuss compensation for the injustices they have suffered. Read my full statement here: ndp.ca/news/ndp-mp-ga… @MarkJCarney @MandyGullMasty @RebeccaAltyNWT @ChartrandMP @juliedabrusin @JaimeBattiste @drbrendanhanley @GinetteLavack @LoriIdlout
“Our babies are still being born with mercury poisoning and people need to help exercise our voice,” Isaacs said. “It’s been well over 50 years since mercury has been put into our river system and into our bodies. We need justice,” she said. aptnnews.ca/national-news/…

Grassy Narrows Chief Ackabee demands PM @MarkJCarney apologize. "I am disgusted with the PM for saying 'I can outlast her' because our people are dying prematurely. Shame on him for laughing at people who are sick and bullying a woman.” #GrassyNarrows #WhiteDog #MercuryJustice
