Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney congratulates Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow on her re-election, saying “we’ve delivered a lot for Torontonians — more homes, new public transit, supportive housing for our most vulnerable.” What the post doesn’t mention: Tarion, Ontario’s new-home warranty agency, enrolled 23,529 new homes for sale in 2025, down from 74,022 in 2021. Nationally, Canada is building about half of Carney’s 500,000-a-year target. Toronto’s new transit lines are provincial Metrolinx projects: the Eglinton Crosstown opened in February 2026, years late, and the Ontario Line has more than tripled in cost to about $34B, with no opening date. And the post gives no figures for the supportive housing it credits. Read our thread to learn the facts 🧵

Ontario PC Premier Doug Ford says raising interest rates “is a massive mistake,” arguing higher rates “won’t get oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz or lower tariffs,” and will “make life more expensive” for families. What the post doesn’t mention: 19 of 34 economists surveyed by Reuters expected a quarter-point hike to 2.50%, which most see as protection against energy costs spreading into broader prices. Markets priced the odds at about 77%. Some economists, including Dominion Lending Centres’ Sherry Cooper, argued for a hold. And the Bank of Canada sets rates independently of governments, including the federal one. Read our thread to learn the facts 🧵

Alberta UCP Premier Danielle Smith says her government tabled legislation to ensure public sector hiring and promotion “are based on merit, not DEI policies,” with workplace training focused on employees’ roles “instead of mandatory DEI sessions.” What the post doesn’t mention: the government’s release doesn’t say how many Alberta public institutions currently use DEI-based hiring or mandatory DEI training, or offer data showing public sector hiring isn’t already merit-based. It notes that existing human rights protections will continue to apply. And Bill 33 also contains the deepfake protections Smith promoted in a separate post the same day, without mentioning the DEI changes. Read our thread to learn the facts 🧵
