Toronto hospital housing model 'a gift' to residents as ER visits reduced by half https://www.thestar.com/politics/toronto-hospital-housing-model-a-gift-to-residents-as-er-visits-reduced-by-half/article_a8f7e2a4-8e7d-566a-8642-ae420f2a8ae1.html 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 ⇢ CanadaHealthwatch.ca 🍁

There is a storm of race hatred brewing online. Blaming refugees. Blaming hard working immigrants. Don't fall for this kind of shit. I think of the Syrian families who built the north with passion, hard work. If your relative spreads hate shit tell them to knock it off.

In this editorial, the @ptboexaminer.bsky.social cites a lot of reasons why we're back to "normal", but fails to mention the elephant in the room. Michelle Ferreri, and her ludicrous, constant spate of hate and division, is no longer our MP, for 6 months now. That's had some impact. archive.ph/Ydzom

This essay will knock your socks off. It will take you exactly what the author addresses in a post-literate civilization: time, thought, absorption, reflection.

Its been 4 years since an MP representing #Ptbo walked in our local Pride Parade. Thank you @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social!

Pierre Poilievre cancelled a planned phone interview with The Examiner Sunday between planned stops in Oshawa and Peterborough because of a "schedule change" immediately after learning I'd be the one at doing it. Anyone know what this means?

Cdn Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social is hitting it out of the park on the world stage. It is hard to fathom the global economic shift he's leading, with leaders listening, on our behalf. He is so ready. Much respect to him and Diana Fox Carney for their representation of us at the UN. 1/2

We have THE BEST Medical Officer of Health. Thanks @twpiggott.bsky.social for your continued leadership, & clarity.

Erika Kirk is 2025's Tammy Faye Baker.

Federal Conservatives are bellyaching about the lack of housing starts. In Ontario, look to the Provincial Conservatives for the shrinking sector problems! Oh, and a bit of a grift going on. Shocker.

Just returned from 2 weeks in #Scotland. What a beautiful country! We covered about 1800 kms, all the way up to Isle of Skye through the Highlands and Inner Hebrides. Edinburgh too is wonderful.

It was his wife's 60th birthday on race day, and they both ran the 26k together, with Diana Fox Carney reaching the finish line a few minutes behind her husband. Amazing!! Congratulations to both of them!

$170 million, in what reality does City decision-makers live? It's offensive, with most of it taxpayer funded. Here's a question: what are the usage stats of our $62 million twin-pad arena? You know, the one with TWO NHL-sized arenas.

It seems that there's a co-ordinated right wing message being pushed, not only here in Canada, but in the UK too. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The opportunity is to treat the Build Canada Homes initiative not just as a housing policy but as an anchor customer for a new manufacturing base. How Carney’s Housing Initiative Can Industrialize Canada’s Mass Timber Sector - CleanTechnica share.google/1hnrtZ5PDtQe...

I hate to say it, but the predominant enemy of Canada isn’t foreign after all; it’s this current incarnation of the Conservative Party.

I would really like someone to go undercover with Right to Heal. Something's off, I've felt it for a long time.

I'm running a big project on the regulation of online hate speech in Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia. One part of it involves interviews with parliamentarians and regulators.

I'm certainly thankful PM @mark-carney.bsky.social can pivot as circumstances dictate. Unlike you know who. I still have my #elbowsup

If Ontario can take over 5 School Boards due to their finances, can the same be done to Municipal Police operations? The Library is expected to cut $120K, yet the Police want +15% in the next budget talks AND are already overbudget (in this one area) by $25.4 million?

Hey @lisab0923.bsky.social, who knew you had a closet-fan in Ferreri! She's replaced her car-rant format with your low-over-the-table approach. Funny though, as a self-proclaimed "media expert", she uses an IG icon for her TikTok user name.

It takes @ptboexaminer.bsky.social the entire Editorial before they happen to mention what a trainwreck our former MP was, actively working against anyone wanting to have anything to do with our Riding thriving, barred by PP from advocating for us. archive.ph/RkwfX#select...

Lol. In breaking news, the sun is shining.

I really love this approach by our #Ptbo MP @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social. A Weekly roundup of what she and the gov't, as it relates to our Riding, has been doing. No drama. No accusations. No lying. Just quietly going about her job. That's what I voted for. Follow her on IG or FB.

Less coverage of inconvenienced travellers, more coverage of flight attendants who cannot pay their bills.

Unpopular opinion: I'm no expert on anything, let alone labour negotiations. ‪@pattyhajdu.bsky.social had to, for Cdns, their travel summer & being abroad, the broader economy. Flight attendants are rightfully defying back-to-work. Pay them what they deserve @aircanada.bsky.social & end this now.

The bigger picture, folks.

The former MP of #Ptbo 🤦‍♀️ #cdnpoli

18-year-old #KawarthaLakes man facing uttering threats charge after racist incident in #Ptbo mall parking lot. The victims in the July 29 incident recently posted videos on social media documenting their harassment by three young white men. kawarthanow.com/2025/08/09/1...

1 of the 3 has been arrested and charged. www.peterboroughpolice.com/en/news/medi...

Thanks @thestar.com for the glowing #Ptbo coverage! archive.ph/m1DFo

Really great conversation going on here, re: encampments in #Ptbo. You know it's at a tipping point when a city employee posts from a burner account. www.reddit.com/r/Peterborou...

Thank you to @cityptbo.bsky.social tree workers who went around our neighbourhood adding water bags to this spring's new tree plantings!

Well, this is exciting, months, not years to completion, effectively lowering rental rates. Canada's Minister of Housing at the time, @seanfraser.bsky.social, was right! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Here's a Canadian on Substack who you could follow instead of our former MP, who couldn't even bother to write out her last deranged post. "...the Carney government's act of rare political courage..."

I am no Middle East or trade deal expert. What I do know is that Canada used to be known for peacekeeping, facilitating nations towards talking, pursuing standards of cooperation. I support my #Ptbo MP @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social statement on y'day's announcement. www.instagram.com/p/DMwHQoaPRfn/

Happy homegrown tomato season to all who celebrate!

Our #Ptbo MP @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social is off to a roaring start! Loving her weekly updates, what she's focused on. The last 2 weeks of funding announcements summarized here:

From Reddit, for #Ptbo, Question 2 and 4 www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

So #Ptbo, do you think our former MP is getting paid to continue with her bullshit?

And I was so proud of our country to do so!

I've been lakeside for a wk, leaving my tech packed. This morn, I checked-in on my #Ptbo MP's social media pages, & I find myself so grateful this Riding rallied around @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social in only 4.5 weeks. We were so ready for her calm, inclusive, positive leadership. A sample:

I spent the past week doing things I love with people I love, ending each day with this, leaving my phone in my room every day. 10/10 on the tech severance.

Headline fix @nationalnewswatch.com: "Premiers set to miss 2026 deadline for establishing $10-a-day childcare". Pretty sure its not the feds who have broken the agreement. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/07/09/o...

What a difference! "...the first-time politician is embracing the opportunity granted her." It's a respectful & grateful framing of how she sees her representation of us.

Interesting that unhappy ex-CBC presenter retains spouse of former Conservative head honcho campaign guru Hamish Marshall.

The big changes are Pierre and Michelle Ferreri missing. Both are toxic. Thank god Ferreri is missing. Although she is still bullshiting all over instagram 🙄.

A workable model in Ottawa, that might be considered in #Ptbo. Office buildings to transitional housing, with embedded supports. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

This is exactly what I, and likely 42,890 other Constituents, voted for. Breaking the negative patterns & manipulations of the past might take some getting used to for others, but I for one, applaud this stance. Thank you [email protected]
