As a former political staffer I was recently asked for career advice by a new political staffer. My response: “don’t be an asshole!”. Make all the tough calls, stand by your principles and be strong, but respect will carry you further than arrogance.

@markwafer @TorontoStar Good on you, Mark, for your continued leadership. Thanks for speaking out.

[Michelle Saunders @msaundersTO]

@FlavioVolpe1 Extraordinary!! Sincere congrats.

@lisakirbie Keep at it. I once saw an entire boardroom of people split into two camps perfectly by age when someone asked “how are we going to do it?” and the answer was was “we’ll just MacGyver it”.

@MikeCrawleyCBC Vindication for Toronto.

@agalbraith Was just thinking of this today.

@juliedabrusin Thank you, Minister.

@FlavioVolpe1 @grok This thread is a great public service. (I laughed, I cried.)

[Michelle Saunders @msaundersTO]

@FlavioVolpe1 Thanks Flavio! You just short listed my next purchase.

[Michelle Saunders @msaundersTO]

@JohnPasalis Really insightful post. Toronto also has a problem that most new two bedroom condos have the 2nd bedroom internal with no natural light. Who wants to live like that? No one.

@CHPCGerry @QuirkyRides It looks like a grasshopper.

@FutureModelTO Nothing makes me feel more claustrophobic than this account!

[Michelle Saunders @msaundersTO]

@EFS_plastics @FHCP_PASC Thanks very much for opening your doors (again) and meeting with our team and members. These collaborative discussions are critical to transforming policy into action and providing perspective on technical opportunities, challenges and considerations. Appreciate you!

@mattgurney It’s simply not the job they are being elected by local voters to do. They ought to be prepared for all scenarios, including Cabinet or backbench or to win a seat but lose the election and sit in opposition.

@DavidColetto Nobody said they just hate crowds and the last week of silliness?
