@HaltonDSB We want answers! Why are you protecting a TEACHER who violently harmed a Black autistic child?

🎸 Have you seen this guitar man? 🎶
We’re looking to reunite this bright orange STAGG electric guitar with its rightful owner — an elderly gentleman often seen sharing his music at Coronation Park in Oakville.
It was found in the parking lot of the park this week.
If you know who he is, please reach out so we can get his guitar back where it belongs — in his hands making music!

@ringsidenews_ Wrong call

[DRP Association @AssociationDrp]

Although Mr. Chiang decided on his own to drop out of the race @AssociationDrp is disappointed in the clear lack of integrity and leadership displayed by Mark Carney to stand by this candidate rather than act after such egregious actions. These are actions an active Officer would be held to an higher standard for in Ontario.

Moreover, the fact that Mr. Carney used Chiang’s Policing career as a shield for his actions undermines the great work our heroes in uniform do in their communities each and every day.

@BBGoulet @duncandee @melaniejoly After taking a break from politics, Freeland will come back and win the leadership of the party...a la Jean Chretien...and take the party from opposition to a minority government once the 'pendulum starts to swing left again after a period of Conservative rule.

[A.J. Smith @revgroove]

@BBGoulet @duncandee @melaniejoly LOL...here's my prediction...Carney will win...like John Turner...Freeland will bow out of politics after the Liberal Party loses the next election. And with more political parties running parties than when Turner went down, that loss will be devastating.

Many are asking whether prorogation of Parliament is legal or if there is a legal recourse. There is a recent decision from the UK that said it was unlawful:

“…in the case of prorogation, use of the Royal Prerogative must have respect for the conventions of parliamentary sovereignty and democratic accountability. The court ruled that any prorogation would be unlawful "if it has the effect of frustrating or preventing, without reasonable justification, the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions as a legislature"; if this is the case, there would be no need to rule on whether the motives of the executive were lawful.

The court further ruled that the prorogation of Parliament did have the effect of frustrating Parliament's constitutional functions….

This is not the core or essential business of Parliament. Quite the contrary it brings the core or essential business of Parliament to an end.”

Essentially, the UK Supreme Court unanimously declared the prorogation of Parliament by Boris Johnson to be unlawful and void. The court found that the Prime Minister's advice to the Queen to suspend Parliament exceeded his legal powers. The decision was based on the principle that such an action must not hinder Parliament's legislative functions without justification. Therefore, the prorogation was ruled to have unlawfully frustrated Parliament's constitutional role.

Given the detrimental timing of Justin Trudeau's decision to suspend the essential functions of Canada's government, all premiers and opposition parties should immediately challenge the government shutdown.

The stakes are too high and too many Canadians are suffering as result. This issue transcends the struggles of the Liberal Party and Justin Trudeau's bruised ego.

At this critical time, we must call on our leaders to prioritize unity and putting the interests of Canadians above party politics.

@BBGoulet @duncandee @melaniejoly @JustinTrudeau Lots of snow out there for him to take that "walk"...

[David Jacobs @DrJacobsRad]

The salient points of this letter are:

1. The Liberals know they can't win with Trudeau at the helm.

2. The Liberals have no regrets about the last 9 years of poor public policy and massive debt accumulation.

[A.J. Smith @revgroove]

@BBGoulet @duncandee @melaniejoly Hey, I’d prefer to see the Liberals go down in defeat with @JustinTrudeau still at the helm…but his ego won’t allow it. He’ll prefer to go out saying “I never lost an election, I’m undefeated”…someone will have to serve in the meantime…🤷🏾‍♂️
