To once again highlight the distortions of First Past the Post: Last night the Liberals won 0.9 seats for every 100,000 votes. The Ontario PCs won 3.7 seats for every 100,000 of theirs.

750 positions will be cut at Unity Health Toronto due to provincial underfunding. Hospitals have a combined $800 million in deficits and are cutting staff and services across Ontario. So much for ending hallway medicine.

The motion failed with 5 Councillors voting to defund the #HamOnt Climate Change Reserve. Pauls, Danko, Francis, Spadafora, Jackson
EMAIL YOUR COUNCILLOR - yet another last minute addition to today's #HamOnt Council agenda - Councillors Pauls and Spadafora seeking to defund the Climate Change Reserve entirely, not just making some cuts to it. An anti-democratic display of climate change denial.

We are disheartened to see this motion come forward to defund the important work supporting low-income tenants in #HamOnt . We stand by @HamiltonJustice and implore all City councillors to vote against any motion that harms some of the most vulnerable residents of our city.
Cllr Danko is attempting to cancel funding to the Hamilton Community Legal Clinic (HCLC). His Feb 12th motion is clearly vindictive. It aims to punish HCLC for carrying out their mandate in providing legal services (including litigation support) to low income people, specifically
