- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Poilievre wins 87.4% in leadership vote, cements hold over Conservative Party. Holy shite - In keeping Pierre Poilievre as head of the conservative party I get the distinct feeling that they don't want to win a federal election for quite some time... #cdnpoli #canada #maplemaga #liberal #ndp
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Carney is creating a legislative environment for a Canadian ICE and your ignorance does not mean that isn’t happening.
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼She'll Yoshi looks super uncomfortable and precious to sit on. Bring back saddle Yoshi.
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼I'll just leave all these here. 🧵
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Ontario won't be getting $10 a day daycare like 8 other provinces and territories have. We also have issues with staffing all of the spaces currently unused, with ECEs pointing out low pay as a reason for many leaving the profession #ontario #onpoli #dougford #onted #frankdomenic🍁
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Crazy lefties? How about decent humans trying to stop #thugdevelopments that were never approved properly, imo? One tree, and a couple birds? *Pretty sure there were *850 trees planted 54 years ago by landscape architect Michael Hough on the West Island of Ontario Place! STOP the destruction
- These labels from Health Canada are a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. You will not stop me from buying orange juice or even cookies. Here we are "addressing obesity" and not food insecurity... But don't worry! Some foods are exempt! 😒 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Anti-Ai, But make it holiday
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼She may have voted no, but I just can't accept Heather standing behind Davies as he spouts his BS about the NDP vote. God damn it. GOD DAMN IT. Oh, and wherever you are out there, Elizabeth May, FUCK YOU TOO!
- For the love of all that is. Can we PLEASE gain a new socialist party??
- Funny that Bradford should say "time and time again " that people supported his motion - I'm in his ward and I personally emailed him against it. : Toronto to prioritize removing encampments within 50 metres of schools share.google/gO1tGskGZa8C...
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼I love this.

- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼What makes the new* Liberals attractive to conservatives? Conservatives who are not only racist, ableist, and sexist but who for the last five years have spread conspiracy theories about the great replacement theory and vaccines and ostriches. This is not a flex to attract them, Liberals.
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Yes, it seemed like the developer put forward a proposal to improve biodiversity, expand trail access in the area, work with indigenous groups and build homes. All supposedly City aims but they have been fighting against the project since October 2023. www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis...
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼It’s a telling mark of Toronto’s puritanism that the bogeyman is people standing around having a quiet drink *outside* Meanwhile the parade of cars driving along the residential street goes unremarked
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Just reminding people that Kevin O'Leary killed a guy with a boat and blamed his wife so maybe not the first guy @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wants to meet up with.

- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼!!!! This is a DISGRACE and so deeply disturbing. Support Luke! Support Press Progress! Support journalism!!!
- I emailed my councillor Brad Bradford, urging him to reconsider speeding up encampment clearing time. That will go to vote on Nov 13th. Keep in mind he was one of only 2 councillors who voted against the current city plan regarding encampments. #toronto
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼Many of you still seem to think the solution to generational inequality is for younger Canadians to work harder and save smarter. We're here to present the hard truth of our broken generational system. (2024 CREA and StatsCan data adjusted for inflation) #cdnpoli www.gensqueeze.ca/broken_gener...

- Oh no! What about the traffic 😨!!? say the VERY people who have to DRIVE to a grocery store! DRIVE to a restaurant!! They're only afraid that density and NEW THINGS will devalue their properties. People like these are ruining Toronto.

- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼NONE of these changes were on Doug Ford's campaign platform 8 months ago. 😒 Ford and his crew is the most corrupt Ontario government, ever! 😠 #FordIsCorrupt #FordLies #FordFailedDemocracy #FordFailedOntario #onpoli www.cp24.com/politics/que...

- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼"Since becoming Premier, Doug Ford has overseen dramatic year-by-year drops in the number of homes being built. In fact, shortly before tabling Bill 60, they backed away from their promise to build 1.5 million homes by 2031. Tenants make an easy scapegoat for his housing failures..."

- I am truly troubled about this.
- Reposted by Mandy🦕🖼There's a lot to be said about Ford's proposal to allow no fault evictions, effectively ending rent control, but I just keep thinking about how I know *lawyers* who can only afford to live in Toronto because of the current RTA law. I don't know what kind of city we would become.
