$44,000 oops. "As the Ford government weathers an expense scandal, the premier invited reporters to look into his expenses, saying he’s the “only premier in the history of this province that has a zero expense account.” “I have zero expenses,” Ford said during an unrelated news conference" #OnPoli

Over his eight years in office, Premier Doug Ford has billed Ontario taxpayers more than $44,000 in airfare, hotels and meals, despite recently claiming that he has “zero” public expenses, @RichardCityNews reports. #OnPoli toronto.citynews.ca/2026/07/28/p...

All over the transit industry, zero-emission bus mandates, like those of California, are colliding with Buy America requirements that deny US transit agencies access to a competitive bus market. The result is a wave of lousy buses that are impacting service. 1/ nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/07/27/b...

One small trick to not look like an authoritarian, plutocratic loon, or worse: don’t advocate for taking votes away from people or distributing them unequally.

Huge congratulations to Professor Jacob Tsimerman of the University of Toronto on receiving the Fields Medal — one of the highest honours in mathematics. Nearly a century after Canadian mathematician J.C. Fields established this award in Toronto, it comes home.

Irritating to see the Toronto island airport battle framed as NIMBYism. This was a project with zero business case that would have destroyed economic value and soft power – and stopped homebuilding! It was a terrible project that deserved to die. When people say no, sometimes they are correct.

Most Canadians understand that the game our PM is playing with Donald Trump, and the need to for some strategic deception (and debasement). But their patience for it depends on his willingness to be honest with them -- and it might be running out. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/24/o...

Canada foreign affairs: Canada stands in solidarity with NATO Ally Romania in the face of repeated violations of its airspace. Such incidents are unacceptable and underscore the importance of NATO's collective defence, regional security and the protection of Allied territory.

Canada is strongest when we’re united. Connecting provincial grids means cleaner, more reliable, more affordable power for all.

This entire piece fails to mention the threat posed by forces south of the border, as if any change of our domestic politics happens in an international void. Hint: they are happening *because* of that threat. See US $ backing the clownvoy, AB separatism, etc. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

If Mark Carney wants Canada to walk the same energy and climate path as Norway, he has to do a better job of equipping us for the journey. First and foremost: give clean energy the same financial and political support as fossil fuels are getting. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/21/o...

45 years ago the Premiers successfully bullied PET into getting natural resources entrenched as exclusively provincial jurisdiction, "forests" absolutely understood as natural resources in this context. (S. 92A) The "national strategy" is for the Premiers to do their jobs!
