"HUGE PROTESTS are the most impt thing we can do right now. As MLK said: “there's no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.”
I’m talking🚨numbers so large they shock ppl -friend & foe & media alike.
I know it can feel overwhelming.
The lawlessness & extremism & corruption—the cruelty—all feeling like they’re accelerating week after week.
Simple: Join a protest. This weekend."

🤨 Oh look, #DougFord's corrupt mega-spa deal has made the NYT.
#Therme falsely presented itself as an industry player that operated as many as half a dozen spas in Europe.

@KimberlyN Conservative premier #DougFord, aka "Captain Canada" spent the election convincing #Ontario that he wouldn't sell off Canada so they wouldn't notice he'd sold off the province.
Real estate swindle - greenbelt, developers, spa
Healthcare swindle - loblaws, private clinics, primary care pharmacies
