This photo really emphasizes the inequality of shadow-based building regulations.
They’ve removed 25% of the possible units in order to accommodate 2 families.
The Queensway in south Etobicoke has numerous mid-rise buildings under construction, which is transforming this Avenue. Photographs today of the nine-storey 197-unit Reina Condos, just east of Royal York Road. South facing terraces are in the making.
“Manulife Financial Corp. announced its coverage of certain prescription drugs will only apply at Loblaw Cos. Ltd. pharmacies.”
This is blatantly anti-competitive and needs to be stopped immediately.
You have to wonder why no one from his team stepped in and said "Mr. Poilievre, you *really* should think twice before stepping into this Diagolon Caravan".
Pierre Poilievre had a strange visit to a protest encampment which has been standing for 23 days.
The leader of the opposition chatted with the 'protestors' about excrement in the encampment, how to sleep comfortably in the trunk of a car, and axing the tax.

@Sflecce
Why are you imposing a contract rather than negotiating, seeking arbitration, or even passing regular back to work legislation?
Because you want to deprive works of their rights.
This government will leave a legacy of helping families, especially children.
CCB, $10-per-day-childcare, dental care, pharmacare, and now universal lunch.
Lifting families out of poverty and creating a more equitable Canada.
“Do you have any questions for us, we’ve been on the ground for 23 days now?”
Pierre: *Shakes head* “No, no…you know I will axe the tax though…(softly) I will axe the tax.”

Pierre Poilievre is trying to undermine our institutions and trust in professionals and experts.
This is populist rhetoric, coming on the heels of Poilievre’s appearance at a right-wing extremist encampment.
For working families with small children, my budget guarantees affordable, quality child care.
Most families will pay less than $10 a day per child, saving millions of folks as much as $7,000 a year.
That’s a lot of breathing room for young families who need it most.
This video of Poilievre is the most damning, IMO.
For all those saying he’s “listening to their concerns”, he’s not.
He does not care at all about them. He would rather talk about then sunset than their concerns.
After asking the residents of the encampment where they are from, Pierre is quickly distracted by the pretty sunset.
When asked if he had any questions for the people "on the ground", he quickly shook his head.

I’m enjoying the replies thinking I’m somehow “triggered” because of my use of “floored”.

This is pathetic. He is completely absconding his duty as premier. Until our hospitals have the resources to deal with unmitigated spread, we can’t be “done” with COVID.
He said this in response to what amounts to a scripted question from Lilley.
What an unbelievable clown of an elected official we have leading our province.
Poilievre is either
- Desperate (Incredibly unlikely. In clear Maj. territory);
- Overconfident, thinking these types of appearances will mobilize his base and not detract voters;
- Not at all considering the consequences of his actions.

I think its time somebody leaked Poilievre’s internal poll numbers. Because there’s no way this guy is acting like he has a 20 point lead. In fact, he’s acting desperate and unhinged. Visiting highway squatters and telling them to keep up the good work tells me a different story.

See, but this is where they want it to go. This is the point.
We need to teach that SOCIETY doesn’t accept hate. They have the freedom to be hateful bigots at home, but not in society.
@ColinDMello
They are stripping away constitutionally protected rights to collective bargaining and the right to strike by dangerously invoking the notwithstanding clause.
This is an attack on all labour rights.
For FURTHER clarification, only 18.3% of judges appointed by the Liberals (as of the reporting
@jobearon
is referring to) were regular Liberal donors.
Thanks

This is what I thought too.
But Poilievre just keeps giving me reason to believe otherwise. It's like he just can't resist.
He plays into those "Trumpian" elements.

If you are one of 40k Canadians who is privileged enough to be impacted by this new policy, you will be paying your marginal tax rate on 32% more of your capital gains.
The society you built your business around contributed to your gains. Marginally more inclusion is not onerous.

The problem is the allocation of the funding. It needs to used to hire and retain nurses and doctors within the public system. Not funnelled into private hands.
This is my frustration. If Canadian conservatives can’t accept market-centred solutions like a levy, like cap and trade, they’re never accepting anything.
Despite resounding evidence of the efficacy of these programs. Both in reducing emissions and improving lives.
I can't believe we're still debating the carbon price.
It works and the rebates make the majority of Canadians whole or better off.
