Even Conservatives I met this weekend while boothing at a Fall Fair don’t like Doug Ford, and their local Conservative MP even less.

Our public schools are some of the least funded in Ontario. Should it be on schools to fundraise to cover this shortfall? I don’t think so. Read this article about a study out of @UWindsor

We're hearing a lot about how we need to support industry in these trying times. Why isn't the agribusiness getting the same support?

Friday fact: Maple Leaf Foods didn't leave Waterloo Region because they wanted an industrial mega-site. Regional reps keep saying this, but it's not true. It only required 50 acres. There wasn’t enough water for their needs.
