Let's assume Pierre Poilievre's CPC form govt after the next fed elx and cancels the carbon levy. Do you really believe fuel prices will decrease? Remind me again what industry continues to price gouge us at the pumps? Spoiler, it's the same industry that supports the CPC.

@spaikin @Michael71718318 TVO with its quality programming and more in depth editorial coverage matters immensely to me. .. as does a fair equitable contract for it's talented staff.

Doug Ford is spending $650 million of your tax dollars on a private luxury spa - while my community in Fort Erie is facing a shortage of care at the urgent care centre.

Share if you agree - taxpayers shouldn't be paying a dime to a spa when people don't have 24/7 health care.

These "excess funds" are the direct result of depriving the Ontario public of the services they've paid for. Long hospital wait times? Blame the @OntarioPCCaucus. Defund ✔️ disrupt ✔️ frustrate ✔️ sell 🤬

Why listen to Haliburton Paramedics, Nurses and Doctors and Healthcare workers when one firefighter can speak on behalf of everyone.
Good luck to those needing that ER.

@TheSpec @Mattatthespec Sounds about right for this city.

The word is "lied". When you say, again, and again, that you won't touch the Greenbelt, and then you strip Greenbelt Protection from 7,400 acres, it doesn't matter what else you do: you've lied. (1/?)

A 66 year old quadriplegic man is pursuing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) because the home care supports he required were suddenly cut...How do people not see what is wrong with this picture?!

My Crohn's patient is day 3 on an ER stretcher. Some are day 5 on an ER stretcher - awaiting admission to hospital. There just are no ward beds - so ER is the ward.

@TheSpec Not a surprise

Both Orwell and Camus are being widely read again. Why ? Because above all they valued liberty and human values, and because they understood tyranny’s modern form, totalitarianism. That was their struggle, and it is ours.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

When the Ford government underspends $7.2 billion towards critical services like health care, education, and social services in the name of deficit and debt reduction but will spend over $10 billion for a useless highway many don’t want - there’s a giant problem. #onpoli
