    Just got this in the mail. Thanks to @dharrison54 for letting me participate in this project and LexisNexis for all their help. Please note, I will likely be insufferable at holiday parties this year. Govern yourselves accordingly (but please still invite me to holiday parties).

    So now that the 15% that are not vaccinated will be able to eat indoors at restaurants, I wonder what portion of the 85% that are vaccinated will avoid restaurants?

    So, to recap: Doug Ford waits until John Tory is re-elected as mayor before announcing strong mayor powers, only to have Tory resign and be replaced by Olivia Chow. Sweet, sweet justice. #TorontoMayor

    Taxing someone more if they pave over their yard and cause the street to flood is not a "rain tax". Are we so addicted to clicks that we have to completely torque everything the government proposes?

    Good Lord. Now do the feeling when you can't get a daycare space in your neighbourhood.

    I hope conservatives are as angry at Rod Phillips for flying overseas to spend Christmas abroad as they were at Justin Trudeau for driving 30 minutes to spend Easter at Harrington Lake.

    Paid sick days? Only if the feds do it! Online vaccine bookings? Individual pharmacies can manage! Information on where to get your shot? Twitter volunteers! Need health care workers? Maybe Nfld has some to spare! Ontario: Yours to discover (how inept its leaders are)

    The Ontario Science Centre used to attract almost 1 million visitors annually. Doug Ford shuts it down, to be replaced by private development. Ontario Place attracted 3 million visitors annually. Doug Ford shuts it down, to be replaced by private development. I sense a pattern.

    "Piece by piece, place by place, we see the cost of trying to save money in the short term by not taking care of our stuff over the long term." Fabulous column from @thekeenanwire: Ontario Science Centre has one last hard lesson to teach us all. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…

    Doug Ford likes to think government should run like a business. So let me ask, what business would look at Fullerton's experience administering long-term care homes and put her in charge of children?

    Like the symbolism of, say, wearing a poppy?

    #CPC MP Michelle Rempel DEFENDS Andrew Scheer refusal to attend Pride Parades - calling ones participation at Pride "symbolism" (her word|) The last thing the #LGBTQ community needs is symbolism by politicians (like Trudeau) - action is needed on issues, not symbolism #cdnpoli

    I'd been intending to vote for Matlow, but if it's now a two-person race, I'm voting Chow. We need a progressive mayor, and not a Tory acolyte.

    Now, take a poll on how many people would like to abolish income taxes. Property taxes. Sales taxes.
