Now is the time for moral clarity. There can be no question or confusion. Israel has an absolute right to defend itself and its citizens against violence.

Today and always, we stand with Israel.

@PremierScottMoe Social cost of carbon is not “my term” & it’s not new. It comes from the @EPA and @theNASEM.

It’s simple: pollution costs us all & we should understand those costs to help us make smart policy choices.

The price on pollution & the direct rebates to Canadians remain the same!

I hope we can approach the Omicron variant of concern with empiricism, caution, and humility, rather than some of the wild speculation we’ve seen over the past few days.

Trudeau calls on Ford to 'step up,' create Ontario vaccine certificate program https://t.co/oWPMM01n7H

[CBC Toronto @CBCToronto]

Breaking: Ontario will announce a form of proof-of-vaccine certification — commonly known as a "vaccine "passport" — for the province, sources tell CBC News. The plan is expected to be revealed early next week. https://t.co/ddrXqODpnC

[CP24 @CP24]

#BREAKING: After flatly insisting earlier this summer that Ontario would not pursue some sort of proof-of-vaccination system, the Ford government is now contemplating the idea. https://t.co/gMoWjOqaMW

It's totally unacceptable for people under the guise of protest to disrupt Toronto restaurants and other businesses and mistreat and harass their customers.

This is bad behaviour and I cannot say enough how unacceptable it is in our city.

@GPerezinParis Congratulations Grace!

Canada’s new climate law #BillC12 is a critical step forward for action on climate change and will allow Canadians to hold the federal government to account for meeting climate commitments. https://t.co/kCIZ9KqmxH via @ecojustice_ca

The world has changed a lot since this photo was taken (Ella’s now 11, and I can’t do that anymore) - but it hasn’t changed enough. Not for our girls. That’s why we must keep working to make sure our daughters, sisters, and nieces reach their full potential. #DayOfTheGirl

I don't think this is how Ottawa's "green recovery" is supposed to work, exactly.

Good piece on how to tackle unprecedented fiscal deficits. Important to avoid consumption tax increases until the recovery has fully taken hold given the latest Bank of Canada Business Outlook survey underlines that forward-looking sales indicators have collapsed. #cdnecon

As Canada piles on new debt, some are likely to ask whether increasing taxes is the best way to pay it off in the post-COVID world. However, @jackmintz warns that taxing our way out of debt "will only suck strength out of [the economy]." #cdnpoli #cdnecon https://t.co/rhsi47QIWM
