Opinion: Toronto’s police chief has disqualified himself from that job | @RobynUrback theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Excellent take
...waiting... #onpoli
Agree. Completely unacceptable comments made by a Chief of Police especially given the facts of this case. #onpoli
The capital gains tax exemption brouhaha reminds me there’s a small class of people who just think they should have an exemption from any taxes.
BREAKING: Canada Number 1 !! in the world according to the IMF in Budget Management. Interesting why this isn't headline news everywhere particularly in the Globe and Post? And I'd add with the NDP pulling and pushing...

Louder so #cdnmedia can hear you
If you are realizing more than $250K in capital gains in any single year, and you're not selling your primary residence (exempt) or your business ($1.25M at 0%) you are in no way middle class.

Sorry? What middle class person do you know that made $250000 in capital gains? 50% of Canadians live pay check to pay check

As if we needed more evidence to prove @fordnation is a complete and utter failure in every way that matters to this province. And corrupt as well #onpoli

Of course this happens when PP lies & is never questioned or called out for this. If media actually treated PP the same as Trudeau, if they asked for plans, not just slogans, asked about jurisdiction, it might be different. But here we are. #cdnpoli thestar.com/politics/pierr…
📍Iran isn’t bombing hospitals 📍Iran isn’t bombing refugee camps 📍Iran isn’t attacking WCK aid workers 📍Iran hasn’t killed 15,000 Israeli children 📍Iran isn’t targeting UN workers 📍Iran isn’t bombing schools ISRAEL IS NOT THE VICTIM…🇵🇸💔
They are not taking “selfie” pictures. The PM and other MPs are voting, remotely, on a bill in the HoC, using facial recognition verification. But Dave doesn't care, because it's all about pumping up the narrative. Nothing else — not even truth or honour — matters.

Everyday I wake up in Canada and bombs are not falling on my house I am grateful. We could have been born anywhere. Being born and living in Canada is a gift. Don't let your anger about the cost of living push you to vote for the huge mistake that will be Pierre Poilievre.
Whether it's health care or housing, provincial premiers are gatekeepers and saboteurs while blaming the feds for the consequences of their own policies and choices. At least, in Alberta and Ontario.

Agreed. Just like Ford, I can't understand why people voted for them

What’s the point of electing a lefty mayor if they’re not going to take on tough issues like police reform? If Olivia Chow is choosing her battles and this isn’t one of them, she’s going to be a big disappointment.
Chief of @TorontoPolice having audacity to say they wanted a different outcome is horrendous. What a callous disregard for trauma they put this man through for an accident. How can we have any faith in them? It's seems like they want vengeance, not truth, even if it means lies.
"Rather than condemning the travesty of justice to which he was subjected, Zameer’s parting words after his acquittal were to thank his adopted country. It is difficult to comprehend why we deserve it."

Three hundred bodies exhumed from a mass grave *in a fucking hospital* including the bodies of medics *still in scrubs and wearing handcuffs* and the loudmouths are sucking up all the energy arguing over whether students and other people are protesting the correct way
A good law of history is that if you ever find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you are wrong. Every single time. In every era. No matter the issue.
Trump did this. apnews.com/article/pregna…
Doug Ford, John Tory and Patrick Brown all owe Umar Zameer their “deepest apologies” as well. If some politicians had their way, an innocent man would have spent almost three years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. #Opinion by @andrewphil trib.al/DQLmovw
Police in Canada lie, file fake reports, have their testimonies thrown out by judges for corruption & much more without any ramifications for their actions … so why would they stop?
Canada's Health Minister says Pierre Poilievre is lying about Pharmacare. Which raises the question: of all his lies, what made you pick that one?
Toronto's Police Chief will side with officers over anything, even the law. That's not leadership, but neither is it new, and it won't change if Demkiw's fired. And the cops that lied will still have a job. And we'll still need reform. But Demkiw should be fired.
Wow! HAPPENING NOW. Columbia University is witnessing a powerful moment: a MASSIVE faculty walkout in solidarity with students advocating for Palestine.
What an outrage!! DougFord is not just wholly corrupt & completely incompetent, he is a disaster for the environment & planet —seemingly intent on destroying our essential, wetlands, forests & farmlands, & spewing more carbon into the air. StopHim!! InvestigateHim. OustHim!!!

Fact: Both @PierrePoilievre and @AndrewScheer began collecting a pension since 2004. There should be a limit of 20 yrs for MP's, especially those that accomplished nothing in twenty years.
Flashback to September 2021, when Umar Zameer was granted bail, and Premier Doug Ford weighed in on Twitter.
The premier's previous tweet on this (since deleted) called the accused "the person responsible for this heinous crime" when that person hasn't actually gone to trial, nor been convicted.
