Maybe I’ll throw my hat back in the ring. Its a shame that the underprivileged, the downtrodden and the disadvantaged all lost their voice for the last decade. Enjoy your retirement Paul. I’ve always said an invisible Ombudsman is an ineffectual O. Paul just proved me right.
The role of Ombudsman was exactly those things when @Ont_AndreMarin was Ombudsman
Let’s hope that the next Ombudsperson will be just as wonderful as André Marin was

Mark Carney is arguably the greatest economic/finance mind to ever lead a country in the history of the modern world. People like him virtually never get into politics.
Not only did he run the central banks of two G7 countries (only living person to do so). He worked in a

I think maybe every now and then the people in other provinces should give a shoutout to Ontarians for paying so much federal tax

Americans, the Trump administration is flat out lying to you on a daily basis. Tell him to keep his thieving hands off Canada, Greenland, Panama, and other sovereign countries. Make America great through hard work and endeavour, not through bullying and theft.

So very proud of the Annapolis Valley’s own Jeff Douglas who played “Joe Canada” in the classic ad “I am Canadian” that aired in March 2000.
Jeff is back, and he’s put a modern spin on the old ad that perfectly sums up the mood here in Canada. Very proud to be Canadian every single day! 🇨🇦

1/ Donald Trump may be aiming to annex the Great Lakes – and possibly south-eastern Ontario in a maximalist scenario – and kick Canada out of NORAD, judging by first-hand accounts of talks between Canada and the Trump Administration. ⬇️

Hospital data shows twice as many Ontarians are being cared for in hospital hallways than when Doug Ford’s PCs were elected in 2018 on a promise to end it.
That’s worth a sticky note. thetrillium.ca/news/health/h…

For Indigenous History Month, @umanitoba organized a video series highlighting the work faculty are doing to challenge colonial myths. I was honoured to have my research about debunking residential school denialism included: news.umanitoba.ca/?p=199072

"It's a bizarre use of money, especially since the existing deal was expiring next year anyway. This isn’t fiscally prudent, and it’s not the best use of taxpayer money. There’s no serious argument that it is or could be." — @mattgurney #onpoli tvo.org/article/ontarios-alc…

On the day the boycott of Loblaws is launched, the company announced quarterly profit was $459 million, marking a 9.8 per cent increase.
It's not the carbon tax.

ICYMI: After years of griping about Liberal spending, the Ford government tabled a tax-and-spend budget with a deficit larger than Kathleen Wynne's in 2018.
Here's how budget 2024 shaped up yesterday at Queen's Park.

The city of Ottawa, The Ottawa Police, The province of Ontario and The Ontario Provincial Police didn't do their jobs.
That's why the Emergencies Act was necessary.
Blame Former mayor Watson, former police chief Sloly, Premier Ford and former Solicitor General Jones.
End.

Police spending has ‘no consistent correlation’ with lower crime rates, a new Canadian study confirms.
“I think a lot of people simply assume that more money for the police will mean safer communities. We’re demonstrating that that’s not the case.” thestar.com/news/gta/police-…
