Kawhi Leonard is back with the Raptors seven years after his championship season in Toronto. In a stacked Eastern Conference, Raptors basketball suddenly matters every day.

NEW - Your historical fact of the day: The province was named after the lake, not the other way around. The name Ontario comes from an Indigenous name associated with the lake, recorded by European explorers in the 17th century.

After Global News broke this story, there has been a shifting narrative:

Tourism minister, Stan Cho first promised to only pay back anything that wasn’t in the “spirit” of the rules.

He later backtracked and said he would repay all $16,000.

Then the Premier’s Office said other MPPs who stayed in Toronto hotel rooms, instead of just going home, would pay back anything that didn’t align with the “intent“ of the policy.

The Premier’s Office also sent this:

“The Legislature is responsible for approving MPP expenses in accordance with the Legislative Guide to Members’ Expenses.”

Now, as the Ford government tries to clamp down on a scandal, it’s looking to eliminate the policy altogether.

A reminder that just one party has been taking advantage of the expense loophole.

Surely @douglasdowney would have explained to him that he already DOES appoint the folks who decide bail? The VAST, VAST, VAST majority of bail decisions are made by Justices of the Peace and OCJ judges.

They are all appointed by the Government of Ontario.

Good Heavens.

Calls for judge to apologize to officers in Zameer case are inappropriate: observers. Osgoode Hall dean warns political attacks on trial reasoning risk damaging public confidence.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security ... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition ... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

[Jeff Schlemmer @Jeff_Schlemmer_]

As we’ve shifted income and wealth from low-income Ontarians to wealthy Ontarians over the past four decades we were always going to reach the point where our poorest couldn’t tighten their belts any further. Our leaders blame and demonize our poorest. Normalizing homelessness.
