I’ve gradually come to the conclusion that people are the problem. (1/4)

An unstoppable transition is underway.

@BissonnetteRene Nothing Ford does makes sense.

Instead the kids can witness the sale of one of our society’s most dangerous hard drugs at their local convenience store on the way to school courtesy of the govt.

Building this highway is literally bulldozing species at risk.

Here are some of the species at risk in the path of the #BradfordBypass. Pretty sure they will not love 24/7 construction. #undemocratic #LakeSimcoe #endangeredspecies #saltpollution #lakesimcoe #nature #birdwatching #ClimateChange #simcoecounty #yorkregion @OntarioNature

We have to fill the $120 million gap on the #OttCity transit budget. Rather than charge seniors $708 more per year for a seniors pass, or charge youth $432 more year on a youth pass, another way is to have the average homeowner pay an additional $38 more on their transit levy.

[Doug Michaelides @DougMichaelides]

@DevineSean And yet the best our provincial and federal leaders seem to be able to come up with are sending cheques in the mail.

@bpellerin They are but mirrors of the average voter.

This is Doug Ford admitting that his policies will kill people.

[Alex Cullen @Alex_S_Cullen]

Amazing! The #DougFord government trying to escape the consequences of its actions! #onpoli

[Doug Michaelides @DougMichaelides]

At this point who would even trust a doctor who didn’t have an Emmy?

[Doug Michaelides @DougMichaelides]

@wonderofscience Doesn’t look nearly as messed up from space.

[Doug Michaelides @DougMichaelides]

It’s always a “narrative” with this government.

You develop a narrative when you’re trying to pull one over on your audience rather than govern responsibly.

[John Bowker @bowker_john]

FOI records show Ford govt officials were crafting a narrative to justify the immediate closure of the Ontario Science Centre long before releasing an engineering report on the building’s condition. (That report didn’t call for immediate closure) https://t.co/HbWd14WtxG #onpoli

@David_Moscrop Paired with civics classes in school, absolutely. In a couple decades we might actually end up with an informed electorate.

@Martyupnorth_2 First time I’ve seen the judgmental commentary line beneath the amount! Frankly it wouldn’t induce me to tip more.

[Doug Michaelides @DougMichaelides]

@gator_gum The heartless, anti-social “work harder” crew was sure brought out in force by this post!

Taxes absolutely need to be spent wisely (looking at you Ontario) but it’s the best worst approach to maintaining our society.
