- For the good of us all, Ontario needs a new Premier and Chief Medical Officer of Health.
- Only in Canada, in the midst of one of the most consequential elections in our nation’s history, would a leaders’ debate be moved because of a hockey game.
- Doug Ford needs to resign. Now.
- We need a new Ontario government.
- Of note to Canadians: If Kamala Harris is elected president, she’ll have a personal understanding of our country as a former Montreal resident. That’s very helpful given how critical the cross-border relationship is. However, due to that history, she may also hate the Leafs.
- Premier Doug Ford is #ForThePeople...unless you’re a hungry child who needs breakfast, Autistic, Franco-Ontarian, in high school, have an addiction or mental health challenge, endangered species, don’t applaud him, enjoy safe food and water, read library books or live in Toronto.
- I’m grateful to the tireless efforts of @VaxHuntersCan. They’re amazing. But the very fact so many of us are reliant on a group of tech-friendly volunteers (rather than an effective government portal where one can pre-register) to find out where to get vaccinated speaks volumes.
- Doug Ford and I often disagree. But the fact he snowmobiled on a weekend isn’t evidence that he ignores his job. No one, including our leaders, should reasonably be expected to never take a moment for themselves. Ford often deserves criticism, but that criticism should be fair.
- This post by the City of Toronto was really bad. And even worse, both Metrolinx and the TTC really should’ve been prepared for the possibility of a late game to avoid leaving thousands of people stranded. I’ll be raising this at tomorrow’s TTC board meeting.
- It snowed today. And not only is the Ontario Science Centre’s roof still standing, it still has more integrity than the Ford government. Photo: @SaveOSC
- I’m at a convenience store at Yonge & Eglinton. Residents are telling me they want a provincial government that will actually focus on their priorities including the ability to find parks, schools, childcare and infrastructure in their growing local neighborhood.
- Congratulations to Sue-Ann Levy for leaving the Toronto Sun to pursue her love of acting. This follows Levy’s performance in her most recent role, pretending to be a journalist for the past 31 years.
