@PWHL_NewYork @scotiabank Where's the full lineup for tonight?

[Ted Martin @TrusteeTed]

@PWHL_Boston What about the Sirens' lineup?

Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs. #Debate2024

@ShannonBDouglas @TurnbullWhitby It's not taxes that make your groceries cost more ... look at the skyrocketing grocery chain profits for the cause of higher prices.

"We couldn't believe that [the region] would spend the time and effort to do this at this point in time and not wait 6 weeks before it became viable crop or an additional couple months to make it into food products we all enjoy." #FightForFarmland #ONpoli https://t.co/Wl6POHAu5u

Relax, he probably just meant that he … well, you know, it could just be a metaphor for … for …

Ahem.

Interesting. Highway 413.
No design. No budget. No real timeline.

“Ontarians may well find that they suffer the environmental and financial costs of this poorly planned and rushed project without any benefits.” #onpoli

A good day. It was incredible to learn how insidious NOSIs had become in Ontario. #onpoli

Ontario: Where the beer store can become a convenience store in order to compete with mom & pop convenience stores that can now sell beer to compete with the Beer Store 👀
But why should this cost taxpayers so much ($225 million) and why is booze such a damn priority? #onpoli

🎯 Since 2018, education funding is down $1,357 per student when accounting for inflation; a total of $2.7 billion overall. 
💯 Today’s announcement only increases per-student funding by 1.9% this year, well below Budget 2024’s predicted inflation rate of 2.6% #onpoli

Here is the thing about capital gains.

It is income.

If the person swinging a hammer, or putting in an IV, or growing the food, or teaching your kids has to pay taxes on their full income, why again should millionaire investors not have to pay taxes on 75% of theirs?

[Catherine Fife @CFifeKW]

Sincere thanks @kthomason for deputing on the “Get it Done Wrong Act” ;)

Expropriating 770 prime agricultural land for industrial purposes runs counter to everything WR stands for…and may compromise our future water supply. Democracy still matters in Ontario. #onpoli

[MPP Jamie West @jamiewestndp]

Fun fact: When the Conservatives waived $500 MILLION in Developer's Fees, that $$$ is now paid by municipal tax payers (PS - That's YOU!).

As your property taxes rise and your municipal services decline, think about how Doug Ford makes YOU pay for HIS well-connected friends!

[Catherine Fife @CFifeKW]

Perhaps if the Ford government focussed on what is best for Ontarians, he wouldn’t  have to back out and repeal legislation #onpoli

[Catherine Fife @CFifeKW]

Ford certainly has kept the courts busy since 2018.
One day...we will find out how much this govt spent on lawyers fighting the very people we are elected to serve. #onpoli #Bill124

[Ted Martin @TrusteeTed]

@DamatoRecord Is a mea culpa column on the way or because it's "just your opinion" you won't let the facts deter you?

“We needed a spa to make Ontario Place work, but then we needed parking to make the spa work, but then we needed to move the science centre to make the parking work, but then we needed to demolish the heritage building and fire a bunch of people to make the business case work…”

[Catherine Fife @CFifeKW]

Now we know why they passed legislation to protect them from legal action. #onpoli
