Okay Canada, what you're seeing unfold in the U.S. is already happening here. It's time to take things more seriously.

Reminder for CDNs that Trumps team owns 75% of Canada's newspapers. We need laws against foreign media ownership.

Universal masking and social distancing at the start of the pandemic were so effective that they eliminated a strain of flu, and now annual flu vaccines have been redesigned because that strain no longer needs to be included in the shot. Amazing.

We need to cancel the Therme Spa deal. We need to cancel the subterranean 401 assessment. We need to cancel the 413. We need to cancel Doug Ford and FordNation. Ontario can't afford more of this Bullshittery...

Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime. In the 1970s, Exxon scientists predicted global warming with “shocking accuracy,” but the company went on to spend millions lobbying against climate action. Now we’re all paying the price.

New COVID-19 vaccines are now available in many pharmacies, for everyone age 65+ or ppl with underlying health conditions. You’d be forgiven for not knowing, because there’s been zero publicity by feds or provinces 👇🏻my item on @CBCTheNational 👇🏻

As details of this odious deal with the Austrian spa company leak out it's even worse for us than we first thought: spend a billion to build a parking lot, get 30 million in rent in return. And if the parking lot is late, we'll charge you millions. WTF is that? #onpoli

Reminder that the green 400-series highway running parallel to the red 401, about 8km to the north, was sold off by the previous @OntarioPCParty government for $3.1B in 1999, and that the current government would rather throw $150B in a hole than address that mistake.

On Sunday, I took this photo while on the 407. Not sure why @fordnation wants to build a tunnel when we have an empty highway just sitting here. We don't need a tunnel to fix gridlock Doug, use the 407. #onpoli

Keep forgetting your #shingles shot? These sufferers wish they hadn’t. Shingles is “one of the worst pains in medicine.” A vaccine is highly effective at preventing it, but many people don’t get the shot, by @elizcohencnn

Shocking to hear the Finance Minister failed to consider the $225M price tag to accelerate beer & wine into corner stores. Millions of taxpayer dollars at the expense of ON’s healthcare, education system & infrastructure. This is the definition of fiscal irresponsibility. #onpoli
