This x 1000000%. I signed my 62 year old mother up to get the vaccine in March as soon as her age group was eligible. She got the phone call just last week, the same day she, my sister and I tested positive for COVID. This is not okay. This province needs to do better.

Doug Ford’s proposed superhighway is estimated to cost $10 billion, and runs through 55 km of farmland, conservation lands and protected areas. It's much more than just a highway proposal, experts say. It’s also a bonanza for land speculators and builders https://t.co/6JzeZxd1xb

Gotta hand it to the liberal spinmeisters.
Trudeau and Morneau are facing major ethics investigations.
Morneau will take the fall.

MacKenzie Scott, the author and ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, pledged a year ago to give away her money “until the safe is empty.”

So far, she said she’s donated $1.7 billion to a long list of institutions, including historically Black colleges and universities. https://t.co/KeFKZPL82R

Quite something how Craig Kielburger can smear me as "bottom of the barrel" at the same moment that he refuses to answer whether or not his lawyer hired a private investigator w charity money to find out what school my kids go to and what my then 8 year-old's name is. #WECharity

In countries where schools were open in May and June, it turned out that schools are not sources of infection — not at all. Outbreaks have been traced to meat plants, religious services, housing estates and I think occasionally to parties. But not to schools
