We're appealing that decision to the IPC because, while the original request was directed to the minister's office, briefings are written by civil servants and therefore still publishable under the updated law. #Onpoli

He's a hostile enemy agent working to undermine Canadian sovereignty in prelude to an attack. He has violated his diplomatic credentials and is persona non gratia. He MUST be expelled.

Within 10-15 yrs, we will rue the days we allowed our political leaders to strip Canada, & Ontario, of its public assets. And judge harshly 2 of the men who led the privatization process, PM Carney & Pr Ford. In Ont, an assist goes to hapless, own goal scoring prowess of @ontarioliberal.bsky.social

Teachers and nurses need to walk off the job and shut down this province.

ASHRAE has a new infection control resources page, provided as a service to the public. A large library on engineering controls for a healthy indoor environment. www.ashrae.org/technical-re...

X derives its power from newsmakers and influencers choosing to post their content there If official and influential accounts stop posting there, it’ll just turn into right-wing influencers yelling at each other and everyone else will get bored and leave

"I'm not saying you couldn't improve the process. But trying to jam through projects & making major changes, similar to what we saw under Stephen Harper, isn't going to do that. It's going to result in a lack of trust…protests…lawsuits. And that's going to be a lot slower and a lot more divisive.”

The Ontario Nurses’ Association says "the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act is among the most restrictive of its kind in Canada. Association president Erin Ariss says it prevents not just full strikes, but also other forms of job action." #OnPoli

This is courageous and essential reporting. A wake up call for Albertans and Canadians. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

the WHO wants us to take all responsibility for every disease by ‘hand hygiene’, which absolves every business and gov’t agency from DOING SOMETHING this drives me crazy just wear a GD N95 mask, also! IT”S NOT HARD PEOPLE

Liberal MPs have been playing playing passive, coy & cagey w their real island airport feelings, but they’re deeply implicated - even making concrete expansion plans! I go thru some of them in my @thestar.com column today & why they owe Torontonians some honest loyalty. They could stop it today.

www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?... Has Mark Carney forgotten who got him elected?

Q: Wow! WTG Elizabeth May! #StornowayStowaway! 💞 We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to stop funding Stornoway as a private residence for the Leader of the Official Opposition.

One week ago I made a pledge in a post on this app that I would donate money to any organization that was willing to make this challenge. Now I know who I’m donating to. Fellow Ontarians, I suggest you consider doing the same.

Democracy Watch is arguing that the govt's actions breach the right of voters to be informed for a meaningful debate about public issues. This also gives the story a new news hook; it gets the FOI issue in front of the public again. This doesn't help Ford & his govt's approval numbers. #OnPoli

Regardless of which vaccine & variant we're talking about: boosters reduce probability of hospitalization & death in all age groups, but most markedly amongst people 65+. Risks due to vaccination are non-zero but trivial, even more so for older people, for whom benefits dramatically outweigh risks.

No wonder Jaime Watt of Navigator tried to spin the jet fiasco in his latest column for the Star. #OnPoli

NEW: In the month after he ordered civil servants back to the office because he said people perform better at work, Doug Ford regularly worked from his Etobicoke home and via Microsoft Teams. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1181649...

Remember when the RCMP were supposed to conduct and inquiry into Ford’s Greenbelt corruption? Still nothing on that

The ‘gravy plane’ mess has sent a message: Doug Ford should retire

After vowing x 6 in QP that inmates that were mistakenly released were apprehended IMMEDIATELY, ON Sol General apologized for providing information that "was not fully accurate." NB. Know how we know 157 were mistakenly released & not immed apprehended? A Global News FOI tinyurl.com/mv4eaby8

"The decision to buy the jet during a cost-of-living crisis in which people are struggling to afford to gas up their vehicle or fill their grocery cart with staples was incomprehensible. I’d call it an own goal, but it was more akin to the team setting its stadium on fire." #OnPoli

Lol... let's check in in 6 months to see if Doug the grifter has really sold the private jet that he used taxpayer's money to purchase. How about focusing on emergency rooms and doctor shortages Dougie rather than a quick trip to your cottage? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Doug Ford - who has taken over 8 school boards claiming fiscal mismanagement - is selling his new $28.9M private jet. Why the sudden change of heart? "I think it was the fact that Ontarians were flooding his cell phone and his MPP offices with complaints.” - Marit Stiles Keep calling: 416-325-7635

Banning algorithmic pricing ought to be a no-brainer call for any government: people don’t like to be ripped off, surveilled, or treated differently from their peers. Algorithm pricing does all three of those things.

Do you think Ford needs a 28.9M jet? (& needs jets at Toronto Isl airport?) Are you okay with him hiding embarrassing, or worse, info by changing FOI rules? Are you okay with Ford appointing vs you electing regional chairs? Ford criticizing judges? If not, call Ford 416 325-1941 (I just did).

Doug Ford buying a jet for like 30 mil while thousands of people don't have a doctor, environmental protections are disappearing and teachers are being canned... no real joke to make here when the thing is already the best satire of what weird power hungry right wing losers are like

Small think tank poll suggests appetite for private health care; ER doc says it's not the way https://www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/poll-suggests-appetite-for-more-private-health-care-er-doc-says-its-not-the-way/ ↷ canadahealthwatch.ca/featured 🍁

A really important critique of the flawed @AnnalsofIM masks vs respirators trial. Good on @bmj_latest for publishing it www.bmj.com/content/393/...

Breaking from @policornerca.bsky.social: CityNews has cut ties with Queen’s Park reporter Tina Yazdani, while at least two of her stories about the Ford government have quietly vanished from the web without explanation. www.policorner.ca/p/scoop-the-... #topoli #onpoli

Instead of cuts, if Carney was smart he'd invest $500 million in mRNA research in Canada, propelling us into a leading position in medical research.

Higher-level government unilaterally diminishes the possibility of “priority misalignment” with lower-level by 1) reducing municipalities' policy scope 2) their organizational autonomy and 3) interfering directly (appointments). While local autonomy has generally increased around the world,...

2/ Pls call Ford if you, too, object to FOI rule changes that will allow Ford to thwart/hide FOI requests. Ford ☎️ (24/7): 416 325-1941 Also, consider posting if you call, to encourage others to call. NB. Your comments are anonymous but each call is counted & is a 24 hr metric for public outrage.

Ontario's legally exempt special economic zones give Premier Doug Ford "king-like" powers, groups launching constitutional challenge say. (And yes, I do mention Henry VIII.) #Onpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

guys maybe we should all re-read Values, it’s possible we all missed the part where Carney said we don’t need to actually have any

Share this one w your people who don’t read the news much or are passive consumers of information. A secret govt should resonate. If secret over “small” things like bike lanes - what else is there. This should resonate. It should (famous futile words).

Premier Ford and Attendance: Patterns seem to be the same as last year.

@jessiecatherine.bsky.social has an outstanding FOI for 200 records from the minister's office about who was meeting with whom re the greenbelt scandal. Those records will remain HIDDEN if Ford's FOI changes become law. Please call Ford's feedback line to say no to FOI changes Ford: 416 325-1941

What we need is some sort of public position, let's call it, I don't know, something like, say, Chief Medical Officer of Health. Sort of catchy, right? The CMOH (the acronym) would be the face of public health for the province, and would be the face and voice of, say, vaccine rollouts.

Not that you'd know it from our MIA CMOH Kieran Moore, but "Starting in April, COVID-19 vaccines are available for specific populations at high-risk of infection who live, work or go to school in Ontario." Please make sure the vulnerable people in your life know. 1/2 www.ontario.ca/page/covid-1...

A few quotes by Tommy Douglas, who gave us public healthcare and was voted "The Greatest Canadian". 🇨🇦 www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

TDSB supervisor Rohit Gupta is the managing partner of Harrington Place Advisors, a group that bridges "public and private sector priorities by...identifying high value opportunities for public sector assets." Public education is being sold off for parts, but don't get political at school, kids!

The Ontario budget neglects health care by delivering real spending cuts An increase of 0.5% falls far below the minimum 4% that is needed to maintain current service levels Find our budget take attached #onpoli www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

2/ If you object to Ford being vengeful against a previous opponent (Crombie) & re-writing laws to protect his own cell phone logs and staffer's personal emails on the GreenBelt Please call Ford ☎️: 416 325-1941 I just did and labelled his behavior as Trump-like & unacceptable.
