Over 800 Patriot missiles used in one week in the Middle East, while Ukraine received only 600 in four years.

Sometimes numbers tell the story better than words. πŸ€”

Great to visit the Shreddies facility in Niagara Falls and see firsthand the people and innovation behind Ontario’s food manufacturing industry.

NEW: The Israeli military unlawfully used white phosphorus over homes on March 3, 2026, in the Lebanese town of Yohmor.

The use of white phosphorus over residential areas is extremely alarming and will have dire consequences for civilians.

When Doug Ford came for education workers, we fought back and won.

When he came after the Greenbelt, we fought back and won.

Now, he’s coming for students and we will fight back and win.

Thousands of students, parents, and advocates gathered at Queen’s Park with one clear message:reverse the OSAP cuts and invest in students.

Doug Ford’s decision to gut OSAP grants isn’t just reckless,it risks our province’s economic future and pushes a generation of students deeper into debt.(1/2)

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Imagine how they’d all react if, for example, China and Iran bombed the shit out of Israel and killed its top leaders, then declared Israelis have a chance to not be led by genocidal freaks.

β€œIran is not currently assessed by international agencies or even the United States to have an ongoing nuclear weapons programme.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and
Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East
"The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions.
Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September.
Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people.
Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.

Nope.

'Community hazard zones' declared by Ottawa school bus authority near downtown shelters, addiction treatment centres About 60 students who would otherwise be required to walk to five downtown elementary schools will instead be eligible for bus rides.

Chinatown is not a β€œhazard zone,” it’s a neighbourhood that has been abandoned by the Ford government. We need health care and supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness and addiction. Not a bus for kids who live a block away from school.

Nobody should reasonably expect Auston Matthews or anyone else to make some big political statement as part of not going to the White House/SOTU.

But if you do go, and (especially) if you miss crucial NHL games to do so, Canadian fans will react. That's not unreasonable or unfair. Be ready for it.
