If we are reading the Bible in ways that do not yield more love of God and more love of neighbor, the two things Jesus says are most important, then we are reading it incorrectly.

I wish ER patients languishing in hallways and chairs had more lobbyists at Queen's Park than the largest bank in the United States with $4 trillion in assets.

@robertbenzie I like the sign... "Protect Ontario"... from Ford

[Captain Dick @CaptainDick12]

Lets put things into context:
-Closing OSC = 219 people out of work.
-Breaking The Beer Store contract = 3,000 jobs lost, $612 million contract penalty, $1.4B lost tax revenue
-Failed Green Space development losses $8.3 billion
-Ontario Place costs - $2.2 billion over budget.

Doug Ford: ‘Teachers are lazy! It’s insane that they get 2 months off during the summer!’

Also Doug Ford: ‘There’s nothing wrong with us getting a 3 month winter vacation and a 5 month vacation over summer! We work so hard!’

"God’s kingdom isn’t a matter of what you put in your stomach, for goodness’ sake. It’s what God does with your life as he sets it right, puts it together, and completes it with joy. Your task is to single-mindedly serve Christ." ~Romans 17:17 The Message

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Premier Doug Ford, asked about the Toronto Island Airport and the apparent lack of support from the federal Liberal GTA caucus

“That's strictly up to the Prime Minister to talk to his MPs.”

Ford says there won’t be a single penny from taxpayers.

debt under Ford is MUCH greater than under Wynne... time to give up the gravy train & resign

DYK: There won't be any additional GO trains to/from Niagara this summer, not even during World Cup, and the tourism minister is yelling about a government that's been gone for 8 years.

To contrast this, the first year of the Ford government in 2018-19 - the Ontario Legislature sat for 93 days from July-December, & January to June.

Then: 93
Now: 29.5

Both the Carney & Ford governments, in recent years, have simply not taken the importance of Parliament with any remote seriousness.

[michael bells @mbells]

remember this when the next election comes... Ford & his mpp minons are NOT working for you

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

The Ontario legislature is expected to rise today after seven weeks. MPPs have spent just 29 days introducing, debating and passing legislation.

Queen’s Park is now widely expected to take an extended summer break - with 5 planned sitting weeks to be erased.

why? what is he hiding?

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

And thus marks the end of the legislative session.

Premier Doug Ford is asking the Lt Gov to come to the Ontario Legislature to give Royal Assent.

The legislature has only sat for 29.5 days and is wrapping up two days early.
