Today’s FAO report shows the Ford Conservative govt cut planned spending on the childcare program by nearly $400 million. Instead of supporting parents & growing the economy, Ford is wasting $1 billion of our taxes to get booze in stores a year early. Mixed-up priorities. #onpoli

Reading John Ivison’s piece from last Saturday on Britain’s decline, which he claims applies to Canada. No mention of Brexit. Nothing about the appalling UK Tory governments. Mentions in passing that Brit GDP per capita was higher than ours but is now lower

A longtime friend of mine has develop a serious, age-related, debilitating, prostate medical condition, one suffered by almost 1/3 of older men. @fordnation’s OHIP doesn’t cover the recommended treatment. Older men, however, can now buy beer at our Zehrs stores. Doug “Tunnel Vision” Ford’s Ontario: lousy access to medical care, great access to beer. Governing is about priorities.

It's amazing that Doug Ford thinks he can find $150 billion dollars to dig a tunnel but can't find enough to repair a roof at the Ontario Science Centre?

Just so I’m clear - the guy who went snowmobiling while a convoy and border blockades raged in his province wants someone to get off their ass and work? The same guy that refused to give evidence to the emergencies act inquiry? Do I have this correct?

It’s bad enough @fordnation wasted $1B getting booze in the corner store one year earlier. Now he is spending millions advertising his new website to help us find the booze. It’s not booze that we need to find… It’s a family doctor for the 2.5 million Ontarians that need one.

The conservative government has intentionally underfunded of our public system for so long that hallway healthcare is reaching the worst levels we've ever seen in Ontario. Thanks, @Fordnation. #onpoli #onhealth @Thetrilliumca thetrillium.ca/news/health/h…

Every plan to mitigate and solve the climate crisis will be expensive and inconvenient. But, doing nothing and having no plan will make our future far more expensive and deadly. Killing a plan without fully presenting your new and better plan is just irresponsible politics,

We took a deep dive into the PBO's carbon pricing modeling, and found: overestimated impacts, conflation of consumer and industrial pricing, and missed opportunities for clarity. A 🧵: @Samhharrison @JothamPeters @ClimateInstit @NaviusResearch climateinstitute.ca/industri…

Like it or not, bringing down global emissions requires a very difficult global effort. It is really easy to say other people should do it.
A common misconception of how global GHGs cause climate change. Emissions have no flags to the atmosphere. It is the cumulative impact of emissions from around the globe that is causing climate change. We choose as Canadians to join the global cause or not. It's simple as that.

Moreover, 16 years of the BC carbon tax has not stopped massive forest fires in that province
