No one cares about the intricacies of how government systems work, least of all people who need to access services.

Good on Sioux Lookout for funding system navigators right out of their municipal tax base.

I look forward to the efficiency & effectiveness report.

Former Brant County Mayor Ron Eddy has died. An old-school, glad-handing, baby-kissing (& lady-kissing) politician, Ron knew Brant like the back of his hand. He was South Dumfries Reeve, County Warden, MPP and then Mayor until 2018.
I used to say "No kissing the reporters, Ron."

Nominations for the 2026 municipal elections are set to open May 1, and the new governance structures would take effect for the 2026–2030 term. Current councils would remain in place until new ones are sworn in later that year #onpoli #onmuni https://t.co/sZNyogXRAD

[The Royal Canadian Legion @RoyalCdnLegion]

More than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces members served during Canada’s mission in Afghanistan. 158 never came home, and many others returned carrying physical and psychological wounds that continue long after service ends.

Today, and everyday, we Remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we honour the courage of all who served, and we stand with the Veterans and families who live every day with the lasting impacts of that mission.

As an organization committed to supporting Veterans of all eras, our focus remains on Remembrance, respect, and support — for the fallen, for those who served and returned, and for their loved ones.

To learn more about Canada’s longest war and the people who served, we invite you to explore this interactive story from Legion Magazine: https://t.co/GKpkAyGpF5

We need Light over Darkness.
We need Empathy over Callousness.
We need Respect over Disrespect.
We need Compassion over Indifference.

@GrayMarker99 Contrasts are wonderful.

While municipalities manage a lot, they're not responsible for everything.

Understanding who does what helps you take action where it counts.

We might not know what the future holds, but we do know that bringing together experts, partners and key stakeholders at AMO’s upcoming Municipal Trade and Tariff Forum on October 24th is the critical next step.

@BobRae48 @MarkJCarney @JustinTrudeau Thank you for being a strong, effective, and a consistently principled representative. Keep speaking out.

@MacLeodLisa Breaking law is not fleecing. I’d rather see speeding enforced by cameras, including school area and major intersections. Let police do other law enforcement. They are stretched thin as it is. Or, could hire more police but watch those budgets grow and bigger pressure on taxes.
