I’m a stay-at-home father of two young boys in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My interests include Canadian Soccer, gardening, transit, and environmentalism.

I admit, I had to look up Liz White. I’m not sure why you bothered to include someone who manages less than 250 votes while ignoring the dozen other party leaders with similarly limited support.
She has an interesting perspective but, like other micro-parties, the Animal Protection Party is not likely to meaningfully contribute to a minority government (even with proportional representation)
It’s worse than you think.
The author criticizes national-level projects by proposing projects that are entirely handled provincially (or even municipally, specifically in Toronto & Ontario). Yes, this is TVO, which is Ontario-specific, but confusing the responsibilities and capabilities of two different levels of government is not beneficial.
This shouldn’t be an either-or situation, but more of let the nation focus on one, and the province on the other. That said, bolstering the judicial system and adding some doors isn’t really going to do much for the economy…
So, from my understanding, the bill dies, but the petition persists. Thanks for clearing that up!
Once the election is officially called on Sunday, will the bill be considered dead and have to be reintroduced in the next parliament? In effect, don’t petitions also die when the bill associated with them dies?
It may as well be delayed until the bill is re-introduced with the next government, as it may not even be re-tabled in the House with its current deficiencies.
This is true (about an hour before any official policy was released), which means it was published as a half-informed leak instead of news of actual policy. However, claiming an (inaccurate) leak as released policy remains misleading.
Like most USian news sources, the article is misleading. Ford said he will add a 25% export tax on electricity IF tariffs persist. He did not provide a timeline on exactly when he might do it. He referred to this as “keeping the powder dry”
This sounds cool, but it doesn’t look like it’s intended to ever go to market.
Maybe there will be a pivot with the current political situation state-side, but that doesn’t seem to be the purpose of this project.
Still, a project worth rooting for! I just signed up to receive updates straight from their website: https://projectarrow.ca/
[email protected] is actually the 2nd or 3rd oldest city-based community on lemmy.ca . It’s not very active, but should definitely be added to this list.
Also, [email protected] would be a good community to add to the soccer category.
For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there’s [email protected] of the MLS (US-league with 3 Canadian-based teams). Other MLS sides include Vancouver Whitecaps and CF Montreal, which I don’t think have a community created.
None of the 8 Canadian Premier League teams, nor any of the numerous League1 Canada sides have taken steps to establish their communities yet (as far as I know).
They should be on Mastodon, but that transition seems quite unlikely this election cycle.

Aslo wanted to note, the federal NDP is on BlueSky, although they aren’t as active as they should be. There’s some provincial accounts too, although that varies from province to province.
Here’s a few of their handles for those looking:
