Doug Ford stands behind controversial remarks: ‘I stick with what I said’
[edited: should read as "racist remarks"]
"There is no indication from police at this time that any of the suspects involved were immigrants, as Ford appeared to suggest, adding: “Before you plan on moving to Canada — don’t come to Canada if you’re going to start terrorizing neighbourhoods like this.”
By the end of hos single term he has been stripped of all his powers, it was an embarrassing time for all of us in Toronto. It is because the mega city amalgamation gave the suburbs the vote.
Human smuggling from B.C. to U.S. is soaring, border stats show
"... human smuggling groups see people as a "commodity," and seek to profit off people seeking to get into the U.S. because "there's tons of opportunity here."
"Canada and the United States are places that people want to come and there is always going to be smuggling involved,"
Although there are no suspects in the shooting at the empty Jewish girls school two days ago in Toronto, Premier Doug Ford this morning wrongly blamed immigrants for the rise in antisemitism in Ontario.
Once again the Conservative Party flaunts their racist rhetoric and tries to deflect from their own Trump-style home-grown rage farming that is dividing Canadians at a time when we need to be united to solve our problems.
@gemelliz
Today there was a Trudeau-Ford joint announcement about an investment in a vaccine factory after that questions from the press. While discussing the recent shooting at a Jewish girls school Trudeau and the mayor of Toronto spoke about the need for safety and how the rise in antisemitism is unacceptable, Ford pulled a " racist Trump move".
Completely ignoring the home grown Conservative rage-farming....
Ford: "Those of you coming to Canada to cause trouble..."🤦

NO! There are a total of 221 customers in my county. All but 10 customers have power back. I'm one of the "lucky" few still waiting. I just have a 50 watt solar panel to charge a battery that I can run the internet on for a little while.
"The industry organization that regulates advertisements in Canada has ruled against one of Canada's largest pro-fossil fuel advocacy groups for spreading disinformation about the harmful climate impacts of liquified natural gas (LNG), according to a confidential decision. "
And they are ignoring that ruling!
"Many governments, companies and communities are taking action to reduce their use of fossil fuels.
