Beautiful Northern Lights at Lake Dore, Ontario. @BlacksWeather @ViktaPaulo

@newjers250 @shannonrwatts That’s terrifying. You should go to the ER stat for rabies shots. Take care of yourselves!

[Dianna @youngdianna]

@enexnews That’s fine - please mute us gawking at it all, thanks!

I’ve never driven through flooding like this before. Stay safe, Ottawa!

@ShimodaSpct I filmed it myself, it was today at about 3pm on highway 17 westbound near Bayshore shopping centre. I’d prefer if you posted it without the sound of us all gawking at the flood!

[Dianna @youngdianna]

@pcinthe365 If you post without sound, sure! I meant to mute it before posting. I took this with my cell as we drove highway 17 westbound just past Bayshore shopping centre at about 3pm today. We were in a long traffic jam not knowing why until we reached the flooded part.

Karoline Leavitt, speaking before the WHCA dinner:

“𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 at the room, so everyone should tune in — it’s going to be really great.”

That’s one hell of a coincidence, isn’t it? 😡

This June, @fordnation will have been Premier for 8 years.
Are Ontarians better off?
Healthcare is worse.
Schools are crumbling.
Housing is out of reach.
Costs keep rising.
Ford flip-flopped on the ✈️, but he has consistently failed Ontarians.
Stop being fooled by Ford. ⬇️

@kellytx2 @Mme1960 Step dancing and it’s very popular in the Ottawa Valley (Canada). The style descended from traditional Irish dancing.

Ford ran on a promise to stop the gravy train. Then he spent $30M of your money on his gravy plane.

He should be flying economy like the rest of us.

100 billion for a tunnel.
No money for OSAP.
10 million for strippers.
No money for healthcare.
29 million for a private jet.
No money for education.
THIS IS FISCAL CONSERVATISM.
Every time they are in office they rob us blind. Feather their little nests like Mike Harris did. Kickbacks, gifts, missing funds. It's not a one off. Mike Harris opened the door in Ontario to privatized long term care. When he left office he just "happened" to be made CEO of a long term care company and owns a few of his own. Andrew Scheer paid for his kids private education and a minivan from party funds until he was caught. Now Doug Ford is telling us we are broke while buying a private jet for his use. It's not a bug, it's a feature. The Conservatives will watch people suffer while enjoying their perks. The suffering only adds to their pleasure. @fordnation

Local man tells post-secondary students money doesn't grow on trees and then picks private jet from private jet tree.

i hate that i live in philly, im on a work trip in dublin and i still feel a deep incandescent rage about doug ford. this guy has GOT to go

[Dianna @youngdianna]

@acoyne Even the backpacks with just kids stuffies in them didn’t fit.. the staff told us that they wouldn’t fit under the seats (they did, with room to boot) We didn’t write to complain bc we didn’t think it would amount to anything but now I am reconsidering given this man’s situation

[Dianna @youngdianna]

@acoyne This happened to my family last April. Our carry-ons and personal items fit the measurements posted on Flair’s website but when we arrived at the airport, they didn’t fit in the rack and we were forced to shell out hundreds just to get on the plane. /cont

Imagine if we had headlines like

Ford orders minister to reduce class sizes
Ford orders minister to improve indoor air quality
Ford orders minister to offer more mental health care supports
Ford orders minister to increase funding to public schools

A mum can dream... #onted

@gator_gum I’m almost rooting for his success - but these massive federal civil servant layoffs/cutbacks are hurting so many people, not to mention the economy of the national capital region.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

A new report from Ontario's largest healthcare union shows Doug Ford is planning cuts that will eliminate over 10,000 healthcare workers from hospitals.

10,000 nurses, PSWs, and frontline staff – gone.

Emergency rooms with 20-hour waits. Patients in hallways. And Doug Ford wants to make it worse by firing more workers.

Public healthcare is the safety and security that comes with knowing we'll be looked after no matter what. That's our social contract. 🍁🇨🇦

@liltrashgremlin @jegaevi This is why lol

[Dianna @youngdianna]

@carolynhparrish Need this in Ottawa! The windrows are excruciating!
