The long-term care minister recently told an NDP MPP trying to create a "right to live together" that her proposal would "reduce the level of care."

🔭 Today’s PLATFORM VIEW is a look at the math behind Brad Bradford’s claim that Olivia Chow will increase property taxes by 20%. It’s very very silly, with some baseless assumptions. I have awarded it zero stars.

Just saw my childhood best friend for the first time in 2 years.
We had the same background - yet one makes $3K/mo, the other $300K+/mo. Here’s why:

I promise I paid attention to the fancy numbers, too.
TLDR: Chow, Matlow and Hunter want the city to build housing. Bailao, Bradford and Saunders want to get out of the way and let the private sector handle it.

Mark Saunders says again that you attract more bees with honey than salt, advocating for low taxes.
"Is Doug Ford the bee or the honey?" Josh Matlow asks. "Did he serve you honey at the stag and doe?"

I saw these types of streets everywhere in Europe — not just in the big urbanism cities like Amsterdam.
It feels totally natural and way safer than a traditional road with sidewalks.

There is already enough foot traffic to justify something like this for portions of King, Queen, Dundas, and College Streets in downtown Toronto.
And if we did this, TTC streetcars would actually move *faster* because people move out of the way faster than cars do.

Feels like a good time to re-up my story from January qpbriefing.com/archives/not-a
![Gillian MacDonald, Moore's communications manager, sent it back for edits the next day. "Note
this has not been reviewed by Dr. Moore. We would appreciate at least MO feedback on it before
having him review so as to limit the number of versions that he sees."
Zacharjewicz replied, "...I presume Dr. Moore after PO [premier's office] review as well, correct?
As per usual process."
"If possible after PO review as well that would be appreciated – I just know that is not always
possible," MacDonald wrote back.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fwr3QMcWIAA-o4H?format=png&name=900x900)

Troubling allegations that the director of comms for Ontario’s health minister pulled the plug on an @TorontoStar interview because she couldn’t get the reporter changed to someone she approved of and and told staff to lie about the reason for cancelling.

Korean media is going nuts about this picture.
Since there is a height difference (about 20cm) the korean dude tries to tiptoe in order to get higher. Seeing this @JustinTrudeau widens his stance to match the height and gets dubbed as "manner legs"

Ontario announced a team of "regional facilitators" back in November. But now it's saying the D-Word explicitly.

I think the most egregious one was Ana Bailao saying she'll "make sure" Ontario takes over the DVP and Gardiner.
Ford has been very clear about the fact that he will not do that.
As has pointed out, her chances on this are essentially 0. tvo.org/article/no-que

Mayoral candidates love to make not-quite-promises that will inevitably be crushed by a higher level of government.
That's not every item on this list. But it's some.
