As I start planning my new few weeks of Stageworthy, I realize that I haven't been able to feature as many theatre artists from the prairie provinces, or Quebec as I would like. So, if you know a theatre maker from those provinces, please suggest them to me, so I can feature them on the podcast!

Once again, the only things that get done in this province are the things that benefit Doug or his donors. Apparently, the rest of us can kick rocks.

Still thinking about Riot King's The Moors at @thetheatrecentre last night. It was funny and horrifying and wonderful all at once. I highly recommend it, if you're looking for some good Toronto Theatre.

Hey, so if Avi Lewis is already generating obvious concern among media pundits, old guard former NDP leaders, and provincial NDP who embrace Lib/Con lite policies, he's probably onto something very important.

Martin Regg Cohn: Protected from voters’ wrath, Doug Ford’s latest budget defies fiscal reality The premier is protecting himself, not Ontario, with his latest spending plan, Martin Regg Cohn writes.

I was going to say something witty like we have to "Protect Ontario" from Doug Ford, but the time to do that was at the last Provincial election. Now, we're stuck with this guy until 2030.

The fact that no one named in the Epstein files has been arrested or investigates for raping children is unconscionable. If the billionaire class is that immune to consequences, then perhaps it's time for a French solution (if you get my meaning).

Submitted a play I have been working on for some time to a theatre company. Instead of sitting and waiting, I'm going to start work on a zombie horror genre play.

Exclusive: Meta planning sweeping layoffs as AI costs mount The cuts could affect 20% or more of the company.

At some point, they will admit that AI has been a huge waste of money and time. But it won't be soon enough.

The only reason to do this is if you have something to hide. Doug Ford is a corruption machine.

Now Doug Ford wants to spend "a few billion dollars" overhauling the Convention Centre - Toronto Life The premier called the downtown facility “one of the worst convention centres anywhere in the world"

WTF Doug? You're the premier of Ontario. Fund hospitals and education. Fix highways. Build bridges in towns where they need it. Stop this weird obsession with the city that hates you.

AI minister says OpenAI still not doing enough in wake of B.C. shooting, will meet CEO Altman | CBC News Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon says OpenAI's recent commitments to adjust its policies in the wake of the shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., do not go far enough and plans to meet with CE...

Why do I imagine him meeting Altman like a fanboy, and not someone who needs to be taking OpenAI to task?

Ford government awards $1B contract for new Ontario Science Centre | Globalnews.ca The province urgently shuttered the Ontario Science Centre at Don Mills and Eglinton to move it south to the waterfront, claiming the move was necessary because of its roof.

Another Doug Ford scam! There's a perfectly good Science Centre already. And they just opened a LRT station there! Which of Doug's friends got this contract?

What does Doug Ford want exactly? Is he working to make life better for regular Ontarians? Or is his goal to squeeze as much money out of the Province to enrich his wealthy friends?

No spoiler: its the second one. Every choice he makes is based on how how he can make his friends richer.

Doug Ford blasts the ‘radical left’ at Toronto city hall over estimate on cost of replacing speed cameras A report from city staff added up the cost of replacing speed cameras with traffic-calming measures suggested by the premier.

Doug seems to keep thinking he's the premier of Toronto. Still mad about not getting elected mayor all those years ago.

Alberta is about to post a budget with a massive deficit, and they are going to try to blame Ottawa for that. But the purse strings start and end with the provincial government. They are going to use the deficit and the austerity that will follow to stoke their anti-Canada sentiments.

Doug Ford has never had to work for anything in his life. How could he understand how changes to OSAP would affect students? How can he understand how his underfunding healthcare affects patients? He's a rich guy who came from a rich family. He doesn't understand and he doesn't care.

When an AI CEO tells us that one day their product will do something, we should immediately call BS. They are simply trying to prop up their dying product with the promise of something that will never be. They and their shareholders benefit from false promises, the rest of us should be skeptical.

Ontario finance minister says rate of health-care spending is ‘unsustainable’ | Globalnews.ca In the buildup to the 2026 budget, Doug Ford's finance minister is raising concerns about the sustainability of health-care spending in Ontario.

If health care in Ontario is unsustainable, its because Doug Ford wants it that way. He's under funded our health services for his entire tenure as premier, all so that he can introduce a private health care option that will benefit his cronies.
