So Doug Ford is going to cut off the energy to the United States?  This is an idiotic statement at anytime, but to says it while you’re losing a battle in U.S. courts to keep Enbridge Line 5 open is beyond comprehension.  The truth is that without oil pipelines from America to Quebec and Ontario those 2 provinces would have frozen decades ago.  But of course the Liberals have their climate change victory over the Canadian pipeline project that tried to supply them with oil for Western Canada, that should keep them warm at night.

It’s time for Doug Ford to shut up; his zingers for sound bites are not helping.  Canada needs a trade deal with the U.S.  Our economy is dependent upon it, always has been. There are 119 crossings along the 5,525 mile border between Canada and the United States, 48 of those crossing are in the 4 Western Provinces. There is only 1 highway connecting Western Canada to Eastern Canada. That speaks volumes as to how our industries and trade work in Canada.  To suggest we can replace U.S. trade – over 70% of our exports – by doubling our trade with other countries over the next decade is embecilic. It’s time to make a deal with the U.S.

Let’s hope Ontarians start electing rational adults.

Yes, but at least the United Nations got $8.5 million in Canadian taxpayer dollars to “establish an International Indigenous-led Fire Adaptation Network,” and “increase access to gender-responsive Integrated Fire Management training.”

Two of Ontario’s nine waterbombers are grounded for repairs as the province calls in help from across the country to battle for control of nearly 200 wildfires ripping through the north.

Questions from opponents and experts have lingered through the fire season about how many planes Ontario has from its own fleet available to fight, with questions and concerns about crewing and mechanical readiness.

The Ministry of Natural Resources indicated to Global News that two of its waterbombers were grounded for repairs but said there were no issues with staffing its fleet, claiming the rest of its planes are in use.

His president’s salary a tidy $601,684 in 2025, he was the highest paid in Ontario;

When John Tibbits abruptly resigned as president of Conestoga College on Jan. 14, he walked away with an exit package worth more than $3 million.

Details of that exit package have been kept secret from the public — even members of the board who voted to grant it to him. […]

Between 2019 and 2024, Tibbits guided Conestoga on a massive expansion of their international student program. They went from 13,000 international students in 2019 to more than 38,000 international students by the end of 2023.

Conestoga wasn’t just the school with the most international students in Ontario, according to federal records — they were the school with the most international students in all of Canada. With international students paying significantly more in tuition, Conestoga was able to rack up a surplus in the 2023-24 fiscal year of more than $250 million.

The Ford government has fired the board and installed an administrator. Curious.

Animal Rights Extremism Onta-i-owe 65 Comments

It’s unlikely to happen again.

Ontario appears set to push ahead with a ban on declawing cats and debarking and ear cropping dogs, a move animal welfare advocates say is years overdue and doesn’t go far enough.

The province is consulting on the possible ban on its regulatory registry through early February, after first pitching it as part of a sweeping omnibus bill of anti-crime measures last fall. The proposal would see the province’s animal welfare inspectors enforce a ban on medically unnecessary surgeries.

They never stop at ears- as those with short-faced and dwarf breeds are now learning. Enjoy your “weiner dog” while you still can. Goodbye, French Bulldog.

If Canadians want a domestic purebred dog community to provide quality puppies and the support structure that comes with it, they need to contact their lawmakers to ask they stop interfering in the interests of breed experts and the health care providers who serve them. We are better judges of what is and isn’t necessary to preserve and protect our breeds.

And in some cases, we’ve been doing it for thousands of years.

Again, they never stop at ears. They never stop at tails or cat declawing or eating beef, just as they never stop at “assault rifles”. They never stop until they reach their intended goal.

If you’re in Ontario, call your MPP.

‘Tis the season.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has topped the Canadian Taxpayer Federation’s annual Naughty List, which ranks the country’s worst “grifting politicians.”

Ford earned the top spot for ensuring Ontario’s political welfare remained permanent by reinstating taxpayer-funded pensions for provincial politicians. This year also saw Ontario politicians giving themselves a 35 per cent pay raise.

“Ford took a pay raise that would make even Ebenezer Scrooge blush: A $73,000 hike in one year. But Ford isn’t the only one with coal in his stocking,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director…
