Slush Puppie Place. Real classy Kingston. A great draw for performers and audiences.
Kingston's downtown arena could have a sweet and syrupy new name if the venue's latest naming rights partner is approved. trib.al/44acJbY

Too bad just Liberals get to vote for leader. Best wishes Ted.

Each time I've won, the Liberal vote has increased and I've earned Green votes, Conservative votes, and NDP votes. Support from across party lines and a winning record will help build a new @OntLiberal. This weekend, vote Ted Hsu #1. #olpldr #onpoli #freshstart

For the sake of your party, country & yourself, step down now.
On September 22, in the House of Commons, I recognized an individual in the gallery. I regret my decision to do so, and accept full responsibility for my actions. Read my statement here: ow.ly/JWtN50POZSa

I salute Raymond Moriyama for his work honouring Canadian culture and science while he never forgot that Canada declared Japanese-Canadians enemy aliens, deserving ethnic cleansing. Raymond's work stands to bring all Canadians together.
We are saddened by the passing of Raymond Moriyama, co-founder of @moriyamateshima and the architect behind many of our city's & country's landmarks inc. Scarborough Civic Centre, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, Toronto Reference Library and the Ontario Science Centre.

So, @fordnation takes full responsibility but a junior politico takes the fall. Any bets Amato ends up on the payroll of one or more of the grateful developers?
Ontario Premier Doug Ford's office confirmed that Ryan Amato, chief of staff to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, has resigned. trib.al/vZ1aVD3

Good move @MayorPaterson. You are being watched.
On July 1, the new Strong Mayor Legislation took effect. Today I delegated several of these powers back to Council and the CAO. Our current decision-making structure is working and I will continue to work with Council on all tough issues ahead. Read more: rb.gy/kmt83

Such effort, speed and timing. It is as iconic as Alphonso Davies' 2021 sideline save and goal against Panama.
Give it a few minutes. This has a chance to be an iconic goal in Canadian men’s soccer history. Nova Scotia’s Jacob Shaffelburg. #CanMNT

By not ruling out your use of @fordnation strong mayor powers @MayorPaterson accepts submitting the @cityofkingston to Doug Ford's undemocratic policies. Shame on you.

There is no way, none, that the NHL should re-instate Joel Quenneville or Stan Bowman. The offence is too grievous. They should never be allowed a role in an NHL franchise again.

Which cross-check, to the neck or to the back when Bunting was already down?
5 May 2023
Sam Bennett has been fined $5,000 for this cross-check on Michael Bunting during Game 2. Thoughts?

Outrageous. Is there anything in Ontario that Doug and the Conservatives are not willing to sell to their friends?#onpoli
