@johnrieti @AdrianMorrow @dmrider @JournoMaddie @robyndoolittle This is where @AdrianMorrow and I confess that it was the same suit. Notice how you never saw us in the same place at once?

"You cannot ask members of a society to pull together...if the provincial government is isolating itself from that effort by hiding behind a veil of secrecy."

The inimitable @MoiraWelsh doing what she's done for more than a decade -- uncover important issues going on in Ont's nursing homes. Her latest on private equity's push into long-term care, which the company prez calls "an attractive investment": https://t.co/1o6swuVUbU

Thread: You may have noticed @TorontoStar has a lot of exclusives. That leads to inevitable calls from some to take these stories out from our paywall. I may wish this was different but the truth is, we can't do this work for free. Without revenue, these stories don't exist+

[Jesse McLean @jesse_mclean]

A must-read from two of the @TorontoStar ‘s finest, @jyangstar and @katecallen, who have been leading the way when it comes to keeping you informed on Covid in Ontario.

This is a story about two well-known former Maple Leafs, Darcy Tucker and Shayne Corson.

It’s also a story about what the Canadian government alleges is an offensive scheme used by wealthy people to skirt paying their fair share in taxes.

A thread.

This alleged sham goes beyond the former hockey players. The CRA alleges more than 150 taxpayers have used the scheme, including a wealthy Burlington family who describe themselves as conservative investors. They reported total losses of roughly $215 million over seven years.
