[CleanAirKits - Big Cleaning at a Whisper @cleanairkits]

Schools have a clean air problem...and it’s making us all sick. But there is a way to fix it.

Host a DIY air purifier assembly event and donate the flu-fighting tools to a school in your community.

Bring your ideas (and offers to help) to a school board meeting, or email the principals and the board.

If you have extra funds, start with a teacher you know. Ask about donating a pre-assembled purifier and know that you’re taking care of at least one classroom’s kids and staff.

@steve_cornwell The finance minister celebrates expansions of food banks…while forgiving the 407 Operators one billion dollars that they owe to Ontario taxpayers.

[Raghu Venugopal MD @raghu_venugopal]

Ontario hospitals are short $2.7 billion. They're overcrowded and struggling. Think that's a lot? Just realize Ontario wasted $7.2 billion on:
-an Austrian spa
-new Science Centre
-early alcohol sales
-pre-election bribe cheques
We have the money. Don't let them fool you.

A forensic audit is required after Waterloo NDP MPP Catherine Fife said it is completely unaceptable that the public only learned about a data spill 3 MONTHS AFTER THE FACT from a FOI.
Ontarians are calling on Minister McCarthy to release the results.

What happened last night regarding the impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth was deeply embarrassing.

Eleven House Democrats missed the vote. If they had been there, Hegseth would be impeached right now.

I’m not worried about impeachment itself. That will come in January.

I’m worried about the message this sends to the American people only a week after a seismic mandate was handed to the Democratic Party to get shit done.

I don’t care why these Members were absent or if this was some lowkey procedural strategy.

What I care about is the messaging, and at the moment, the narrative is: “Democrats said they want Hegseth gone, but can’t be bothered to show up to vote for it.”

That is not good.

All it would have taken is a simple message from House leaders: “We want Hegseth gone, but don’t trust current GOP leadership on this matter. We look forward to holding him accountable in January with the new Congress.”

Dem leaders really need to get it together on messaging. Immediately.

Doug Ford's "unwavering" three-day "Maple MAGA Texas Tour" to "support Trump" cost taxpayers $93,179—excluding private charter flights, which separate invoices show cost Ontario taxpayers an additional $105,000 to $109,000. ⬇️

NEW: A chartered jet that Doug Ford & other officials took to Texas this spring cost Ontario taxpayers $108,582.87, according to the invoices the company sent the provincial government afterwards.

Hey @fordnation The leak happened in July. Weeks later, an odorous, milky-white substance was discovered in a nearby stormwater retention pond connected to West Creek in Cambridge, prompting an environmental response and cleanup. The public wasn't notified until November. Why?

Some background reading from my article in 2025 which revealed that the U.S. will own the F-35 parts that will be stored in Canada. The parts become Canadian property once they are installed on the aircraft but until then the Americans have total control.
