Conservatives and Bloc and a lone Liberal MP joined the NDP in support of @LeahGazan's bill to protect Canadians' right to strike from S. 107.
Sadly the bill was defeated by the rest of the Liberal caucus.

Doug Ford stood up and blamed students for the OSAP mess. So let’s follow the money.
In 2024, private college executives donated $151,000 to the PCs, and the Minister in charge at the time got $30,000 from them alone. Now students have had the rug pulled out from under them. So I asked the Premier: was this incompetence, or are students and families paying the price for his insider deals?

The American CEO who bought Stelco is openly admitting that he purchased the company to sabotage it.
This is why the Liberals should have never approved Stelco's sale in the first place. When you give away ownership of a critical industry like steel, your economy is forever under another's thumb.
There is only one solution that will save these jobs and put Canada back in the driver's seat: we need to nationalize Stelco.

"Can you explain why this member is getting a promotion after he ripped off the people of this province?"
On the first day of the fall sitting, Premier Ford dodges questions about why Stan Cho, who resigned from cabinet this summer after charging taxpayers for local hotel stays, has been promoted to an education role with a $22K pay bump.

If you expensed $16,000 in hotels at your job, you’d be fired.
In Doug Ford’s government, you get a raise.

We’re back at Queen’s Park.
Doug Ford took 21 weeks off from the legislature. I spent that time in communities from Scarborough to Thunder Bay, and I heard one thing loud and clear: life is getting too expensive.
Now Ford has a choice. He can show up for the people of Ontario, or keep helping himself and his insiders. We’re here to lower your costs and put money back in your pocket.

Tonight, the people of Toronto have spoken.
And you have given me the extraordinary honour of continuing to serve as your mayor.
I am grateful. I am humbled.
And I am so proud of our city.

CBC has projected Mayor Chow for our next Mayor. Smart and kind takes the day. Congratulations Mayor Chow and her whole team.

A huge congratulations to @oliviachow and the incredible slate of progressive councillors elected in Toronto tonight.
This win goes beyond any one person or campaign — it’s the result of years of movements organizing together, from tenant unions to climate activists, migrant rights advocates and those on the front lines of harm reduction. You mobilized and knocked on every last door to make this happen.
Tonight, you’ve secured a better future for Toronto together.

Election Day is here. Vote for your candidate(s).
I voted for mine. It only matters if you’re counted.
I’m proud to accept this endorsement from Flavio Volpe, President of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association.
Flavio and I have known each other for years. His support reflects the growing confidence of Toronto’s business and industrial sector in our city.
Together we’re working to protect local jobs in these uncertain times.

Why would Bradford want to break-up the Toronto Water Dept, which works well, nobody has raised à concern about and consistently delivers safe water??
Because privatization lobbyists
“It’s high risk”
Experts discuss Bradford’s plan to give up control of Toronto Water Dept, giving Doug Ford the power to privatize it without city approval

Multiple lawyers, including renowned @joelbakan, confirm that the Bradford plan to commercialize water in Toronto very much opens the door to privatization: thestar.com/news/gta/city-ha…. Shrill denials from Bradford and his billionaire backers are a clear tell. #toronto #canlab

The Globe: "During the [last] three years .. the City of Toronto has become a significantly safer place, and is one Canada’s safest cities. Murders, shootings and violent crime are all down...the lowest in 50 years. Car thefts... are down dramatically..."

Protecting our water is about more than now, or the next 10 years. It’s about protecting it for generations to come.
Some of our youngest Torontonians have shared their drawings with me.
My commitment to them: I’ll keep our water in public hands.

John Tory on Brad’s water scheme:
“you do lose a degree of control when you send it off to one of these even publicly owned corporations…if it ain't broke don't fix it. I mean you know - if the water turns on, it’s clean, it's safe, it's among the best in North America."

We don’t agree with Nick Kouvalis on much, but we do agree politicians need to have principles and that Brad Bradford has none.
Brad went from a progressive who voted to defund the police to courting MAGA supporters. Why should you trust his word?
Listen to Kouvalis yourself ⬇️

Olivia fixed the fiscal crisis created by Rob Ford and left by John Tory
Now Bradford would take Toronto back
He’d give owners of Toronto’s biggest and most expensive houses the biggest tax cuts — and pay for it with debt and fare hikes

Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before.
Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list.
