(he/him) Dad. Software Developer-type person. Oppressed by the right-handed majority. These are my own tweets, not my employer's.

@lettuceorganise @acoyne That's not what it says. It could have been PPC->CPC and CPC->LPC that resulted in that net change. Of course, who knows what will happen on election day? Especially since the House of Commons isn't filled based on the popular vote.

@ugdsb is conducting a secondary school boundary review for #Guelph. You can find details and how to give feedback here: https://t.co/wYemAROCTL.

Every one of us should be angry that one of Ontario’s largest children’s hospitals has had to call in the Red Cross to help with staffing.

Every one of us should be demanding that our government immediately invest more resources into our healthcare system.

Every one of us.

Part of me misses the vuvuzelas.

Do people not realize that wearing a mask is a fantastic way to protect those around you in case you happen to be sick and not know it yet? It might protect you, but why not wear a mask for those around you?

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@terencengapuhi @fordnation Conceivably there could be someone deciding not to vote because of the current system and its issues, but yeah.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

We really need a better system than first-past-the-post. A small minority of Ontarians supported @fordnation's party, and they are taking away Charter rights. This is not OK. The abuse of power is disgusting. #onpoli.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@yaxl_to I think a system like #ProportionalRepresentation is more likely to give political consequences since a party can't expect to have a majority with a minority of the votes, which happens routinely now. I'm interested to hear about alternatives, though.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@isteadde @mirgray @fordnation If people are too lazy to cast a ballot using one of the current means, how are they going to inform themselves about whom they are voting for? That part is harder, I think.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@isteadde @mirgray @fordnation I don't think it's the medium. I'm good with paper (and it's auditable) but we need our representatives to be representative, however we cast ballots.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@bert1185 But I can vote and point out flaws in our system, right? (To be clear, I vote.)

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@BrianWr95127965 @FairVoteCanada @fordnation I'm more optimistic... I say let's see what political parties look like in Canada with proportional representation or even ranked ballots.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@WinstonDeGres @FairVoteCanada @fordnation The current system could contribute to apathy, so there's that, at least. 🤷

BREAKING: While all eyes are on CUPE the Ford government is sneaking through opening up the Greenbelt for development. https://t.co/rHeSyxHpHG

[Kristyn Wong-Tam 🇨🇦 @kristynwongtam]

Ford tried to bury his dirty announcement on a late Friday afternoon. He’s paving over 7400 acres of the Greenbelt after promising not to touch in 2018.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

Oh, yeah... Allowing development in the greenbelt after promising not to... also disgusting.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@Sflecce If you have to use the Notwithstanding Clause to keep your legislation from being unconstitutional, something doesn't smell right. If you call it Section 33 in an interview instead of the Notwithstanding Clause, that stinks even more. #onpoli

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@drjodypalmer That's disgusting and inexcusable.

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@drjodypalmer And is it almost always the Right that tries this sort of thing?

[Scott Grasley @sgrasley]

@drjodypalmer Do you mean Pierre Poutine or were there other electoral shenanigans from that time?
