@PierrePoilievre Carney continues to surround himself with people who have had successful careers. This is brilliant and makes the future of Canada that much brighter. Many leaders don’t want people around them who are smart and accomplished but leaders who are secure recognize the wisdom of it.

Hawthorne Rd has reopened. Thank you for your cooperation.

@KrankySports @TSN1200 How do you know that? I can’t find anything that suggests that. He is an evangelical Christian but can’t see that he is MAGA

[David Mason @djmason58]

@GasPriceWizard @globalnews Nope. The loonie was up slightly.

[David Mason @djmason58]

@Sens_HQ @jackrichrdson It is so close. Boston was top three not very long ago. If you were told that Ottawa was 4 games over 500 and last, you would not believe it. Buffalo has been on a tear but it won’t last. I’m not convinced that Montreal is a playoff team. Lots of hockey to play.

@ManyBeenRinsed Do you not read the paper or watch the news where people get scammed and then blame the bank for not protecting them? The bank did the right thing. You should be grateful. It could be your parents getting scammed and you would be furious with the bank.

@shumsg1956 @annie_swede @franco_nomics Staggering isn’t it. I deal with CRA all the time. They are far from perfect but they are generally trying their best. People have to remember, they don’t write the tax law but they have to apply it. It’s way too complex for everyone including them.

[David Mason @djmason58]

@annie_swede @franco_nomics Sure but why when we don’t need to. I assume you have volunteered to prepare the returns. I also want to point out that there are lots of very poor tax preparers out there as well.

@RobSnow15 To improve productivity in Canada we need more investments like this. I hope you aren’t suggesting that the $200M is mostly government money.

@rich_toronto @liberal_party @brucefanjoy Jenn Sudds is not the MP for the riding in which this occurred and Bruce Fanjoy is not in the riding next to it. The riding next to it is Mark Carneys and he did make a statement

I will never use @PayPal for an important transaction again. I used @paypal to buy a plane ticket. They placed a hold on the payment and ticket was cancelled. Had to rebook on more inconvenient expensive flights. They cleared the hold 2 days after flight. Trying to recover funds

[David Mason @djmason58]

@REDBLACKS Wrong again. It was 32-31. Now it’s 32-39.

@JMJTHF @kinsellawarren The DST was brought in by the previous Liberal government. It should have been scrapped a long time ago.

@StuntmanStu The money from parking goes directly to equipment and patient care. If a donor made up the shortfall, it likely is taking money from a donation that would have come in anyway. I know the parking charges are an irritant but you are contributing to the well being of your hospital.

[David Mason @djmason58]

@JCHIANELLO You do realize that all transit systems have issues. I’m in Toronto and the Subway has delays and frustrations with it. Stuff happens, mechanical, people on tracks, medical emergencies. My issue is more about communication. You should know why you’re delayed.

[David Mason @djmason58]

@StuntmanStu It is great to see them but I think they now come from Germany

[David Mason @djmason58]

@HateitO23460130 @senstalk_ Yes. They will blame staios for not bringing in more first line centres for a bag of pucks.

[David Mason @djmason58]

@SuperSensFan88 @TSN1200 I guess he should be doing more to prevent injuries. What did you want him to do? Lots of teams have this issue because of the cap and the way the cap rules work.

[David Mason @djmason58]

@GarrardGraeme @ABDanielleSmith @realDonaldTrump Seriously?
