The Ford government wants to hide older long-term care inspection reports, limiting public access to just 3 yrs of data.

This would shield bad actors from accountability and make it harder for families to choose safe care.

Transparency shouldn't have an expiration date.

Thank goodness for cbc- I can see why some politicians want to get rid of good journalism!

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Canadians heading to vote face sticker shock for primary care at private clinics | CBC News Some clinics charge thousands a year for primary care and out-of-pocket fees while an estimated 6.5 million Canadian adults don't have a regular health-care provider like a family doctor or nurse prac...

Why are private fees at “boutique primary care” clinics still permitted?

When we have a massive access primary care access gap?

&

When the fees appear to break the 🇨🇦 health access guarantees of the Canada Health Act?

Keep calm and Carney on.

Keep calm and Carney on.

Some are asking for more passion from our soon to be PM, Mark Carney.

I disagree- he’s passionate about Canada, our values and our people - and we need his calm.

These are tumultuous days, emotions are high: fear, anger and worry.

We need a calm and determined leader to pull us through.

Top: An exclusive headline from Reuters reads, “US could cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources.”

Top: An exclusive headline from Reuters reads, “US could cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources.” Bottom: Elon Musk gives the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration.

The Nazi salute should’ve been reason enough, but now the US is going to cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink if it won’t hand over critical minerals.

What happens when the US wants northern Ontario’s resources?

If Doug Ford really wants to “Protect Ontario,” he needs to #CancelStarlink now.

SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER LOSE YOUR PEACE Final Dispatch from NATO, Brussels

75 years of diplomacy, hard work and a commitment to liberal democracy has just been flushed down the toilet by Trump, Vance and their MAGA idiots.

I am so pissed off.

Ford wasted $612,000,000 to unnecessarily cancel a beer contract.

Money needed for healthcare, education, municipalities and 81,000 Ontarians suffering in homelessness.

We need to vote strategically in MASSIVE numbers to stop him.

Four questions for Doug Ford:

You’re asking for a mandate. Don’t you already have one with your majority government?

That sounds great! Why now? Why haven’t you done this already in the seven years you’ve been in power?

Great! In the spirit of transparency, what documents can you share with the people of Ontario to help them understand and support your plan?

Wonderful! Why should the people of Ontario believe you?

As we ramp up to election season in Ontario, I've created a handy reference sheet for reporters who are invited to PC press events.
