Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

“It wasn’t a failure of federalism. It was a failure of Ford. No federal system can do much in the face of an elected leader making a conscious choice to not do his job. That’s exactly what Ford did choose, alas. Ford failed.”

This week, I questioned @fordnation on his murky new healthcare bill.
After falsely promising to not touch the Greenbelt, sign up 8,000 kids to the OAP this year, and keep emergency rooms open:
Why should ANYONE trust ANYTHING @fordnation tells us to believe?

Tough words for Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his government over its abandonment of the city of Ottawa in today's Rouleau commission report: https://t.co/NHrDTBY3CR
Why don’t reporters like @ColinDMello@brianlilley etc come right out and ask @fordnation@Sflecce about this bribe! They vilify education workers and lie about negotiating and yet the fact is THEY HAVE THE MONEY!
Conservatives will twist and spin it any way they can, but what happened today was an absolute win for labour unions in Ontario and an embarrassment for @fordnation, but he brought it on himself.
While we are "celebrating" & rightly so, the events that unfolded today, let's NEVER EVER forget that @fordnation & his complicit MPPs ALL voted yes to violating the Charter, suspending our democratic & human rights. They should never be trusted, supported o respected ever again!
I am quite content for November 11 #RemembranceDay to salute the brave men and women who fought for our freedoms, as well as to condemn the cowardly tyrants who are still, today, trying to take those freedoms away.

@fordnation Well, it wasn’t a “strike action”, and this only ended because you agreed to repeal your disgusting legislation. Nice try to spin this into a “win”, though, you lying POS.

@DrKateTO@Sflecce Unfortunately, @ONeducation doesn't base their decisions on actual science/proper research. You'd THINK they would, but they don't. Many aren't aware of this. That explains their decisions which are based in ignorance. @FordBeGone#LecceHatesKids
I spoke with national union leaders this morning about the Ontario government’s inappropriate preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause, which undermines the fundamental rights and freedoms of workers. Our government stands firmly with our country’s workers.
Ontario government could have continued to bargain, then if no deal was reached, introduced carefully crafted back-to-work legislation with interest arbitration to settle dispute.
Had they done that, there may have been no strike and no Charter violation.
They had choices.
