If you need an MRI, go to the vet. If you can't afford a home, you're the problem. If you're disabled, get off of your ass. Which people is Doug Ford for, exactly?

It’s a good thing our Western provinces have been preparing their economies for the transition away from oil!

So feelings were hurt - tough, being uncomfortable is not the same as being in harm's way. Everyone returned to school without injury. The real harm being done is from the helicopter parents seeking vengeance over an moment of discomfort - no one grows in their comfort zone.

In a bizarre speech to start the session, Poilievre warned that pricing pollution would cause a nuclear winter and shut down our entire economy. Does he think we’re suckers and that we can’t see the Canada Carbon Rebate land in our bank account 4 times a year?

In all seriousness, we do very much have a traffic issue. Some have suggested moving freight to the 407. Why not go the opposite route and start tolling freight at the 400-series weigh stations? Collect revenues while encouraging better behaviours.

ETT is committed to social, environmental, and racial justice. We will continue to support Grassy Narrows in its call for environmental justice. Instead of searching for a soundbite, the Premier should listen to the thousands of people calling for justice for Grassy Narrows.

Have a conversation with ANY educator or education worker you know. They will tell you why they’re on the brink of burnout, or why they’re considering a new career after a lifetime in teaching. The harm Ford has done is catastrophic.

Every #onted student needs a properly funded and staffed school library, but Ford's govt thinks differently and eliminated protected funding for libraries and library staff. Don't let library cuts happen! Sign the petition to #SaveOurSchoolLibraries accessola.com/petition/

It would literally be cheaper to buy back the 407 than to do this. I'm in favour of audacious big plans, but I can't help but feel as though the cost and the closures will make this untenable. #ontario #onpoli #dougford

Doug Ford This is literally the dumbest announcement your government has ever made. Which itself is a shocking statement. This proposal would cost up to a hundred billion dollars. It’s not happening. It’s unserious. It’s a joke.

As Doug Ford comes up with another boondoggle of a scheme that’ll never actually help a single Ontarian, time to re-up my piece from yesterday on the need for Bonnie to reclaim the mantle of fiscal responsibility for the left to fund health and education open.substack.com/pub/scrimshawu…

Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie and Dr. Adil Shamji, Ontario Liberal Critic for Healthcare, to hold a press conference to discuss Ontario's ballooning spending on for-profit private nursing agencies. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

So close.

Confidence motions, or "trying to dissolve the sitting Parliament", should probably carry real weight behind them. I understand Poilievre taking the first crack he can after CASA being ripped up, but it would be a damned shame if he makes a charade of the Confidence motion.

"We haven’t been perfect, and there’s no use pretending we have been. There is too much at stake to let perfect be the enemy and we must do everything we can to stop a government that will undo all of the good we’ve achieved" The Speech Trudeau Should Give open.substack.com/pub/scrimshawu…

It’s dumber than that.
