- My high-school daughter was working in the same room as me in the past couple days so I got to overhear bits of her online @tdsb classes. I was so impressed at the energy coming from the teachers & at how hard they were working to make online learning engaging. #ThankATeacher
- Walking past @CanEmbUSA the Canadian Embassy here in Washington right now, and thought you’d all like to see the @BlueJays banner hanging near the entrance.
- BREAKING: Not only did all board members of FH Health each donate max permitted amount to @OntarioPCParty within a few days of each other last fall, so did a bunch of their family members and colleagues, the @OntarioNDP has revealed. #onpoli
- BREAKING: The Ford government has lost another major court case. Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that campaign spending restrictions targeting unions & other non-party groups infringe voters' Charter right to meaningful participation in the electoral process. #onpoli
- I've received a few messages from people saying my question to Premier Ford today was anywhere from inappropriate to disgusting. I've also heard from lots of people saying the question needed to be asked. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself.Premier Doug Ford often says his heart breaks for business people struggling in the pandemic. In the past week in Ontario, more than 100 people with COVID-19 have died. @CBCQueensPark asked Ford: “Why aren’t you talking about them?” Here’s his answer:
00:00 - Vaccine-doubting Ontario doctor tried suing 20+ physicians, journalists & academics. Judge threw out her libel suit. Now she's been ordered to pay $1 million in legal costs. Story by @tomblackwellNP
- The word "alcohol" or "beer" appears 46 times in the Doug Ford government's first budget. The words "teacher" or "teachers" appears 25 times. #onpoli
- NEW: Here’s the list of companies and people who own the land that Premier Doug Ford’s government wants to remove from the Greenbelt. Story by @CBCToronto’s @helloryanjones
- Family-owned Ontario ice cream-maker @Chapmans_Canada was paying for COVID tests for unvaccinated staff. So to be fair, they decided to reward employees who did get vaxxed with $1/hour raise. The result: anti-vaxxers scream for boycott & harass owners.
- This line in Premier Doug Ford's speech stood out: "This is a pivotal, pivotal moment for our nation. The eyes of the world are upon us right now, and what they are seeing is not who we are. This is not how we try to change things here in Canada. We do it through the ballot box."
- If Doug Ford lifted every single COVID-19 measure in Ontario today, would the protesters pack up and leave? Their anger is directly focused on the prime minister. At their core, these are more anti-Trudeau-government protests than anti-vaccine-mandate.
