@davidreevely @jm_mcgrath Fond memories of standing in the rain and slogging through mud to get empty comments from party leaders and farm representatives.

@gmbutts This is getting bad and I fear it will get much worse.

@robertbenzie Interesting opinion.

@globeandmail @MariekeWalsh @globepolitics If you have to declare yourself "an essential service" than you aren't.

CTV News issues a forceful apology for the Trinity Bellwoods clip that went viral on Twitter this morning:

@cityslikr Tory seems to be channelling Fred "Big Daddy" Gardiner. How long until he removes the median from University Avenue to build more car lanes?

Excellent editorial

Globe editorial: Where is all the testing and tracing our politicians keep promising, but haven’t delivered? /via @globeandmail https://t.co/KHGbQ33R2h

@spaikin @InfoFAO Over all the province will spend $5.8-billion subsidizing electricity rates this fiscal year.

@IreneGentle @TorontoStar That is a great feeling. Had it in several roles covering politics.

@MikePMoffatt Work from home can help older workers who dislike the physical challenges in getting to and from a central office. It also can help those with an ailing spouse who should not be left on their own for long periods.

@whittakertp @politicsfisher @fordnation Colourful language is no substitute for management skills and hard work.

[Richard Mackie @RichardMackie10]

@ColinDMello It was an excellent question. It affects innumerable people. Ford already had refused repeatedly to accept responsibility for the dismal state of testing so there was no point in going there again.

Quick hits - week of May whatever it is (thread)

@jm_mcgrath If you folks are correct the Government and Ontario's public health are guilty of a major failing in not being ready to push testing of at-risk people when they would up testing in LTC.

[Richard Mackie @RichardMackie10]

@AshleyCsanady That would be great!!!

[Richard Mackie @RichardMackie10]

Very important story. Politicians and too many officials work to seem in control not to be in control.

@starbeer @TorontoStar The increase in meal delivery likely has helped craft brewers who jumped into it. When I order in food I get beer from several craft brewers who are new to me. Most are very good.

@CommonTO99 @murraykcampbell @C_Mulroney @jm_mcgrath @fordnation It wouldn't lose money if it were a commuter service -- frequent and reliable. Highways cost far more in construction, maintenance and social costs such as deaths and injuries.

I didn't get to ask a question during Premier Ford's press conference today. Here's what I would have shriek/shouted if it was an in-person scrum
