“Citizenship is a privilege. Citizenship is not a right,” said Ontario labour minister David Piccini.

Begs the question, what did a Port Hope boy like him have done to earn such a privilege?

Or is he just talking about white privilege? #onpoli

And fun fact #2: She was briefly the Minister for "Cool Japan" Strategy - yes, they have a cabinet minister for that, for more than 10 years!

[Milton Chan @BoywonderTo]

Before anyone gets too excited, just note that she is essentially the Japanese version of Margaret Thatcher, i.e. a dogmatic hard right figure.

Oh, fun fact: After losing her seat in 2003, she married a MP and took his lastname. They divorced due to political difference, but remarried later. By then she an ex-cabinet minister & ex-leadership candidate and he still a backbencher, so he took her lastname instead)

New UK cabinet - women hold all 3 Great Offices of State (top cabinet posts) other than PM, a black deputy PM, and 4 queer cabinet members (out of 27)

A concise case study for Mississauga's decades of urban sprawl, lower taxes over growth planning, & small minded problem claiming credit with reactive enforcement while taking no responsibility for their role in creating the problem.

This is such BS. Grocers in BC & Germany (just 2 examples from where I grew up & where I am now) collecting not just booze but pop bottles.
Perhaps mandating deposits on more bottles & collections at more locations is the solution...

Sir Robert Peel - 19th century UK Prime Minister, father of modern policing (and the reason why cops are called "bobbies" in Britain...)

[Milton Chan @BoywonderTo]

Police abuse, dishonesty and disregard of the law undermined @PeelPolice 's ability to uphold the law.

No small irony given that the basic doctrine for police legitimacy are called Peelian Principles, after @regionofpeel namesake.

NYT says one Chinese U offering unconditional admission to any student who transfers from Harvard. We need to do the same. Harvard attracts the smartest kids in the world. Forget Trump. Leave the US behind. Come to Canada and help us become an innovation superpower. Oh, and send us your profs too!

...by tracing back to the wholesale elimination of accountability and governance provisions from party constitution on the urging of that same leader at the height of his popularity a decade earlier.

[Milton Chan @BoywonderTo]

The poor design of the Reform Act renders it an illegitimate mechanism to hold party leaders accountable. It is usurpative and antidemocratic in principle, and ineffective and unenforceable in practice.

My geeky piece back in January explains why.

[Milton Chan @BoywonderTo]

My piece in today's @HillTimesGlobal went stale by lunch hours. But points on someone must be able to, who that should be and how to make decision w/ legitimacy will actually be in even sharper focus in coming days. https://t.co/X2jRGRnx9b

[Milton Chan @BoywonderTo]

2nd half covers a related but distinct topic also timely given LPC's announcement this week of the date/city of next party convention. It retells the story how Liberals found themselves the only party w/o any defined mechanism to oust its deeply unpopular leader...

[Milton Chan @BoywonderTo]

These things always reminds me of the confession Als sie kamen (When they came for the Communist...)

Take freedom, rule of law, due process for granted at your own peril.

As a bleeding heart Liberal that has been proud to call Toronto Centre home, I hope it is just an oversight that the word "Liberal" is missing in such a statement...

The @ezraklein Show has been part of my regular diet for a few years, but this episode is particularly sobering.
