When my colleague Jamie West showed me this ad from Doug Ford’s government, he couldn’t stop laughing.
Jamie spent 17 years working in mines, and in the photo he spotted pickaxes, no safety gear and half a dozen violations of Ontario’s own safety rules.
That’s exactly why he wrote his Mining Awareness Week bill, and when it comes up for a vote on December 9th, Ford’s cabinet should be first in line to support it.
Dolores Huerta was one of the greatest organizers to ever live, using her influence and powerful voice to fight for those who were most vulnerable to exploitation and greed.
She will forever be missed, but her spirit lives on in all of us.
ISRAEL ELECTIONS: It's driving me up the wall that there is no clear leader just yet (I know, I know, they've been saying that all along), and that different news outlets are reporting that Netanyahu, then Eisenkot are both leading.
AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH
Win already, Eisenkot!
This is absolutely my favourite pizza place in Toronto. Even under new ownership, they’ve maintained the high quality. I see folks in the elevator carrying pizza from here. They have a wide variety of pizza and also make an amazing panzerotto. @bocconciniTO

There are roughly 44,000 airports in the world.
Only 16 are named after women.
I'm pretty sure there are more than 16 women who have transformed the world around them.
The Tennessee Governor will rename Nashville Airport after Dolly Parton. Do you know how many airports in Canada and the US are named after women? THREE! And none of them are major airports.

@smerconish I’m not an independent!
I say “No” to open primaries.
It doesn’t make sense for Republicans to vote on who the Democratic candidate should be. Or vice versa. It like asking your opponent to vote on whether you should be a candidate. Absolutely fallacious and total nonsense.
