NEW: The US Chamber of Commerce tells the Globe the reception that was supposed to be co-hosted by Ontario Premier Doug Ford and businessman Ross Perot Jr. last night in Washington, DC was pulled down due to “scheduling conflicts.” #onpoli
It’s great that the Min of Transportation and the OPP acknowledge they are aware and are monitoring the increase of people living in parking lots... But, is the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing aware? #onpoli#HousingCrisis

No one elected you to be the mayor of Toronto.
No one elected you to be the prime minister of Canada.
As you are so fond of telling others, “Stay in your own lane.”
I can only imagine how much you will screw up trade talks this time. 🤦🏼♀️
The entire purpose of Doug Ford’s Washington trip — a reception with American billionaire Ross Perot Jr. — didn’t even happen.
@fordnation loves to promote his travels, but he never promotes the results.
What did this trip get us and how much did it cost taxpayers?

@EricDLombardi@diannebdee You misspoke. ODSP is 40% below poverty levels. Saying thing's like "barely above poverty levels" perpetuates the myth that ODSP is somehow enough and that it's somehow possible to exist on $1408 a month.
Doug Ford said he gutted OSAP because students were misusing the money and the program was too expensive.
But it was @fordnation who was mismanaging OSAP.
95% of a $465 million increase went to private career colleges, not Ontario’s public colleges and universities.

Took a philosophy class that covered assisted dying. One guy wanted to die because he couldn't afford his disability equipment so his life was shit and he had no independence. Apparently "why don't they just give him the equipment instead of killing him" was the wrong answer?????
If you live in a country that sends poor people to jail for using drugs, but doesn't send rich people to jail for raping kids, you live in a shit hole country.
This kind of bigoted othering, terming certain people as invaders who threaten your way of life, is exactly the sort of thing those men fought against. This is a disgrace.
