Hey Ontario, These are the MPPs that voted to keep education workers in legislated poverty and to trample on the constitutional right to strike. Remember them at election time.

"Doug Ford routinely attacks the federal government for being too soft on crime, just this week calling its policy weak. So what if Ontario got tough on landlords who abuse personal-use evictions?" — @David_Moscrop #onpoli tvo.org/article/a-modest-pro…

It makes me furious that @fordnation can publish an interactive map to find beer after just one weekend but he won’t do the same thing to help any of the 2.3 million Ontarians who can’t find a family doctor. #onpoli #onhealth

We’d like to clear up some confusion regarding the ongoing heatwave across Ontario and much of the Eastern United States and Canada. Some have taken issue with the use of red in temperature maps, claiming it’s intentionally done to instil fear in the public and push an agenda based on what is 'normal summer weather.' A few points on this: - It isn’t summer yet—the summer solstice doesn’t occur until this Thursday, so we are still technically in late spring. - The average high temperature for this time of year in Ontario is around 23 to 25°C. This means the current temperatures are approximately 10°C or more above average. This is certainly not 'normal' for this time of year. - Extreme heat can pose a serious threat to vulnerable populations, including the elderly, the unhoused, and people with certain medical conditions—not to mention our furry friends. The risk of heat stroke increases significantly as temperatures rise above 30°C. Heat events frequently cause deaths, including over 600 people in British Columbia in 2021. - The hottest temperature ever recorded in Ontario was 42.2°C in Fort Frances on July 13, 1936. Meaning that we are only a few degrees below the all-time heat record in Ontario. - We use a straightforward colour scale with colder colours (dark blue, blue, green, etc.) for colder temperatures and warmer colours (yellow, orange, red, light purple) for warmer temperatures. Since we are seeing temperatures in the mid-30s, it makes sense that our map would use dark reds, as it doesn’t get much warmer than that. Our only agenda is to accurately and clearly report on the weather. Manipulating the colour scale to keep a group of people happy would itself be pushing an agenda by intentionally downplaying this heatwave, which goes against our values as a weather organization firmly rooted in science. At the end of the day, you can interpret the data however you like. You know yourself and your family best. If you don’t feel that these temperatures are 'extreme,' you are welcome to ignore it and keep scrolling. We are here to provide information and help keep people informed about significant weather. - Brennen

Ontario is now, truly, a bad episode of South Park. Instead of grasping the opportunity to remind Ontarians to be careful... he's encouraging whole families to spend the day on the thin ice. Is it a metaphor, or an inside joke at our expense?

I'm glad you're able to speak about your mental health issues & that you had access to a robust benefit plan (unlike most Ontarians) to get the help you need. It's a shame that you can't show that same compassion to others & did nothing to help them when you could have.

THIS … ALL OF THIS 👇🏼 💥

Hanukkah is a Zionist holiday. Over 2,000 years ago, King Antiochus and his Hellenistic Empire sought to erase our identity and desecrate our homeland, Judea. The Maccabees courageously fought for their right to be Jewish in their historic homeland. Just like the Macabees, Israel is having its own Hanukkah moment right now. There is another barbaric group that is trying to strip Jews of their identity and desecrate their ancestral homeland. But this time, instead of the brave Maccabees, we have the brave Israelis and the Jews all around the world who are defending their identity and their homeland. And, like the Hanukkah miracle shows us a tiny little light can fight off a very big darkness. Chag Sameach everyone.

“I am changed forever more [after watching the Oct 7th video], there is your context madam presidents…this is not about a territorial dispute, it’s not about oppressors and the oppressed, it’s not about religion or ideology. Any agenda that was on the table before October 6 is forever gone, conversation is over. How dare you…what is wrong with you people, you know better…who do you answer to?...If Hamas behavior does not cross the line, then you don’t have one…light always prevails over darkness & good over evil.” powerful words from @DrPhil

Happy Happy Chanukah and sending you all love! Have a great eight crazy nights!

My idea for a new law that I’ve called “No Bonuses if Layoffs Act” got a lot of Likes! Simple rule: Illegal to pay bonuses to execs or senior managers in a year in which any employee has been laid off. Would be very popular law (except for execs). @SeamusORegan @MaritStiles

Not only has Ford been caught using his personal phone for government business... his ministers have been caught too! Did the Health Minister avoid using her government-issued phone to side-step freedom of information requests when privatizing our healthcare? #ONpoli #ONhealth
