Ontario’s top civil servant raised concerns about Doug Ford’s visit to Washington D.C. after the PC party used images from the government-supported trip for partisan commercials and presented a campaign videographer and photographer as government staff. https://t.co/DJgqHjnz19

NEW: More than two dozen television commercials, funded by Ontario taxpayers, were paused during the election period after the province’s auditor general deemed the advertising was “designed to promote the governing party” rather than the province itself. https://t.co/dbtxyA3zZV

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

There's a protest rally at the upcoming Wilmot Township Council Meeting tonight - 5:30pm @ Castle Kilbride in Baden! Bring your signs, and show up to #StandWithFarmers in the #FightForFarmland . #NoFarmlandNoFood #OntarioFarms #UnwillingHosts #Protest #WilmotTownship

TODAY!! Come #StandWithFarmers in #Wilmot and beyond. Farmland is a finite resource. Bulldozing forests in Northern Ontario doesn't replace the #319AcresPerDay lost nor does the data reflect the acres being dug up for aggregate. Numbers don't lie, but they can be manipulated.

We are not a willing host! This Monday, August 26th at 5:30 come join farmers and supporters show you care about #Farmland and #LocalFood

"We couldn't believe that [the region] would spend the time and effort to do this at this point in time and not wait 6 weeks before it became viable crop or an additional couple months to make it into food products we all enjoy." #FightForFarmland #ONpoli

Get your vaccines close to home. @ROWPublicHealth Public Neighbourhood Bus will be in Wilmot on July 25.

Big crowd tonight at the community centre in New Hamburg to stand with @WilmotTownship Farmers against #expropriation. They know #NoFarmlandNoFood. We have to protect the lands that feed us. Preserve soil that can grow food. @mikeharrisjrpc @fordnation @RegionWaterloo @OMAFRA

If you couldn't make it to the @ICC_NewHamburg 40th Anniversary Gala tonight, you can still show your appreciation & support by helping us reach our fundraising goal. Please consider donating today. Thank you, Jon for sharing the selfie and joining the ICC board this year!

‼️📢PLEASE COME SHOW YOUR SUPPORT

It's a beautiful day for a run! Thank you to all the runners and @RunWaterloo for supporting @ICC_NewHamburg!

Wilmot farmers made a moving statement to the @RegionWaterloo Council a few weeks ago regarding the expropriation of their land. Their opportunity to speak was given following persistent requests from multiple @UWaterloo students during the session. We applaud the farmer’s for

There are still a lot of questions left unanswered for the potential expropriation of nearly 800 acres of Farmland in the @WilmotTownship. Where is the public engagement? What does @grandriverca have to say about this? 1/2

This is productive, high-quality #Farmland we are talking about. All the general farm organizations are in agreement here @NFUOntario @OntarioFarms @CFFOnt #NoFarmlandNoFood #NoFarmersNoFood

Farms are businesses. These farms bring jobs, & FOOD to our community and beyond. How would these business people feel if it were their businesses being threatened? Shall we ask them to sacrifice their land? #NoFarmersNoFood #NoFarmlandNoFood https://t.co/flryewftPx

All the buzz is about today's solar eclipse: We're expecting a little mid-day darkness! Be sure not to look unless you have proper eyewear! Don’t forget fur family – keep them indoors with curtains closed. (As cute as the sunglasses are, they don’t work for your pets 😉)

Maybe I’m naive but I thought we were doing all this growth management and countryside lines to maintain good farmland, prevent sprawl, and protect groundwater recharge areas. But we were doing it for governments to then hand over that farmland to private development interests?!
