I’m quite impressed with Singh on this. He’s been speaking out for a cease fire and not avoiding the issue.
On a somewhat related note, I’m very impressed by the CNN interview that Queen Rania of Jordan gave on the topic. https://www.queenrania.jo/en/media/interviews/queen-ranias-interview-cnn’s-becky-anderson
Paywall. Here's an article on the CBC on the same subject.

Paywall. You really should program this bot to prefer the similar articles from the CBC (and basically leave out The Star). Here's the CBC article on the same issue: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/ontario-retail-winery-tax-removal-bill-1.6969214
When asked about a perceived ignorance in computers, the judge proclaimed, "I'm not ignorant about computers! In fact, just last week I finished Space Quest, and I'm now getting through Leisure Suit Larry!" The judge's report, written using WordPerfect 5.1, is expected to be released soon.
Paywall. But, from the brief blurb I could see, it looks like Chow is doing her best to reach out to people. This states she met up with John Baird, likely to get him to help advocate for better funding for Toronto. Seems like a good move before meeting up with Doug Ford, which the article states will happen next week.
If you’re interested in helping to get this motion passed, then…

Thanks for the information. I was not aware of that.
In checking out the Ontario guidelines, do note that a delegate is a chosen representative of an EDA (electoral district association) or affiliate (labour union local or other such group with status). So, it’s not just open to anyone on their own wishing to attend.
Any member of the NDP or official NDP affiliate is entitled to seek the opportunity of being a delegate for their EDA or Affiliate.

I saw on the CBC last night a story of a restaurant worker who was fired because she wore a mask. That’s how bonkers we in Canada have become lately.
Interesting article with some unexpected nuance.
Great move on the part of the BBC. Given all the issues on Twitter, hopefully the CBC will also make a move to Mastodon. I recall when Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada, closed comments on Twitter due to abusive garbage, that I wrote her office and suggested Mastodon. Alas, they did not follow through. But hopefully this move from the BBC will inspire some of our Canadian institutions (particularly the CBC) to reconsider and to make the move to the fediverse.

That did not happen to me; so I’m guessing it’s a coincidence.
