Can Olivia Chow Turn It Around?
The missteps are piling up. Pool closures are just the latest. Blame games. Delayed responses. Is it too late for Mayor Chow to rewrite her narrative before election season kicks off? @AMAprmaven @BobReidToronto podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

The New York Times is reporting Therme Canada allegedly misrepresented itself to get Ontario Place.
Remember, Premier Ford added Ontario Science Centre to Therme Canada to sweeten a bad deal.

Following the closure of SRCHC’s consumption and treatment service (CTS) keepSIX, if you see a potential overdose it’s an emergency. Use Naloxone if you have it and call 911. Make sure you contact the right number for the help you need bit.ly/4aqlsqF

Odd. While Ontario's Doug Ford refused to share the names of the individuals in the White House who the premiers met with, BC's David Eby was happy to share it.

Two former Ford government staffers — including a central figure in the Greenbelt scandal — are being accused of fraud in a lawsuit that alleges they were paid to use “their backchannel contacts and political connections” to get land rezoned for development, but did not follow through on the deal.

Misinformation was spreading as fast as the LA wildfires causing confusion & additional work for first responders & communicators. A new strategy is needed in this new world of AI & manipulative billionaires

Trying this again
VIA needs its own track & well functioning trains to help on time performance, of course, but where is their emergency plan, both operational & communications, when trains are stranded for hours?
