NEW: Vehicles registered to Doug Ford's cabinet ministers have been caught by automated speed cameras more than 20 times.
In one case, they were driving 70 in a 40 zone. On average, they were 17 over the limit. #OnPoli

Hi m
NEW: The Carney government invited President of The Heritage Foundation, those behind Project 2025 to address cabinet. Though the ostensible reason was to gain insight on approaching US trade talks, a deeper look reveals far more. Carney's policies uncomfortably echo Project 2025. #cdnpoli
This list—predominantly managers of hospital infection control programs—are undermining revisions to a Canadian standard for workplace respirator personal protective equipment (PPE) that would improve safety grounded in science and engineering. /1
9.6.3.11 Surgical masks Surgical masks are not considered respirators and shall not be used as respiratory protection by HCWs. Surgical masks may be used by patients who cannot otherwise wear respirators, as determined by the Qualified Person, to provide limited source control to protect HCWs.
They HAD to write in the obvious "surgical masks shall not be used for respiratory protection" because of obstinate IPAC practitioners who claim otherwise.
Doug Ford plans to dismantle Ontario’s most popular provincial park.
More than half the shoreline of Wasaga Beach could be opened to development.

Is it possible to attend the conference virtually?
What's even the point of local democracy if power is just consolidated in the Premier's office?
The Ontario PCs appointed an investigator in the spring to assess the TDSB’s finances. The audit found no evidence of financial mismanagement. Paul Calandra said a supervisor was necessary anyway and appointed former Metrolinx advisor, Rohit Gupta. Metrolinx!
Your tax dollars hard at work, folks.
Western University associate professor of software engineering Aleksander Essex regarding online voting and the fact nobody can verify votes.
“We are trusting these companies to produce these results. Trusting a third party private company is not appropriate for an election result.”
Fucking cowardly fucks. All this will do is embolden Trump to make more demands and attacks on our sovereignty.

We will soon witness the largest real estate sell off ever. Starve a system then take over and cut some more. Appalling
Any chance we can participate virtually ?
Complete nonsense. Ford is proposing 1,600 Ontario Place parking spaces. Assuming a full lot every day of the year (a generous assumption) and even granting some turnover (let’s say 2,000 entrants a day), the province would still have to charge $82 per entrant to total $60M/yr
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Ontario health-care crisis — the sky really is falling. This isn’t fearmongering. The system is crumbling under chronic underinvestment, policy inertia and an unwillingness to face difficult fiscal realities, by Dr. Alykhan Abdulla ottawacitizen.com/opinion/onta... via @ottawacitizen.com

Tragic, preventable and sad
What an embarrassment
Critics talking about Bill 5 as an attack on democracy.
That's not it.
Bill 5 could not be passed if Ontario was still a democracy.
Ford's had 7 years to destroy Ontario's democracy via Queen's Park.
This is the end game, not an opening move.

This article is from 2008. Together, we fought hard to save Toronto’s school pools. Today, they’re threatened with closure once again. It’s time for life-saving aquatic programming, outdoor education and special needs programs to finally be supported by the province
I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night.
I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin.
I was wrong. He is not ignorant.
This piece of shit knows *exactly* what he is doing.

Let's send a clear message to the Ford government: reverse the cuts and fully fund public education.
