I should have known I couldn't hide from the science reporters of @nature, with their exogene detectors and their H-bosonifying plasmotiscopes. #ResistanceIsFutile

It’s official: I’m running to be Ward 2’s next Regional Councillor.
As a lifelong Milton resident, I’ve seen a lot of change over my more than 30 years here. We’ve been one of the fastest growing communities in Canada since I was a kid, but our town hasn't always kept up 1/4

"Canada is a mosaic, the United States is a melting pot. And no, Canada will never become the 51st State."
Thank you @MarkJCarney for joining us in Milton today! – at Milton, Ontario

He's expensive. The most expensive premier in this province's history in fact.

Found time to rescue a few stranded motorists between canvasses this afternoon.
Whether it's tackling the affordability crisis, fixing our broken healthcare system, or getting Ontarians moving again,@KristinaTesserD, @BonnieCrombie, and the @OntLiberal party have you covered 😉 – at Milton, Ontario

Finally feels like we’ve taken our flag back from the convoy losers.
Thank god. 🇨🇦
Hey @zeeinmilton , you have three illegal signs at Steeles and Brontë. Didn't you help write the sign by-laws? #OntarioElection #milton

Beyond disturbing. We're half way through this self-serving election, and instead of talking about health care, Doug Ford is pushing for the death penalty. Just like Trump. Once again he's showing us who he really is.
Recording reveals Doug Ford calling for return of death penalty in campaign speech: 'Send 'em right to sparky' #onpoli trib.al/JufLPGm
We know how Jean Chretien would have greeted anyone talking about making Canada a part of the US.
Pleasant meeting with the Premiers.
To be clear, we never agreed that Canada would not be the 51st state. We only agreed to share Premier Eby’s comments.
Further, we said the best way to understand President Trump’s position is to take what he says at face value.

Breaking: Doug Ford, king of broken promises, finally learns how Ontarians feel every time he goes back on his word. He doesn't like it. – at Milton, Ontario
Doug Ford says he was "disappointed" after learning of Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum.
"President Trump said 'hey, you have 30 days, let's work it out' and bingo a couple of days he wakes up and the world's changed."
Ford adds when you give someone your word and shake their hand -- "not that I shook the president's hand" -- it's golden.

I also thought this piece was telling as yet another example of Ford emulating Trump in his choice of language/messaging.
Trump: “The future’s ours, and our golden age has just begun.”
Ford: “Today, let’s usher in the new American and Canadian century, a new golden age….Thank you and may God bless the people in America”
Canada is not for sale, but Ford might be.
Hey, @zeeinmilton, "Would you hire someone who chose not to show up to an interview?" Asking for a friend. miltontoday.ca/2025-provinci… #OntarioElection #miltonON
Thanks @fordnation , the only chance I've ever had to say that. I have used your $200 bribe to support health care, education, and affordability in Ontario. I signed it over to @KristinaTesserD's campaign in #miltonon #OntarioElection #onpoli
