BREAKING: So received almost $600,000 in donations from developers. In return did they get the #Greenbelt? Think it's time for the OPP to open a file. Agree?

Hey Doug, even if it’s not “illegal” to have developers donate $1000 to your daughter’s wedding fund, you have to know the “optics” wreak & it’s an affront to democracy
Do you even care about those things?

Nah. I don’t believe for one minute that John Tory resigned because of an affair. It was too sudden and the excuse is too convenient. Something else is going on.

I’m going to say it: I like paying taxes in exchange for a properly managed health care and education system and other government services. I don’t want money back, I want ambulances to come on time.

There's much to criticize about PM Trudeau, but he testified and responded for 6+ hours on live TV, while Poilievre refused to answer reporters' questions and Doug Ford just ran away and hid. What a stark difference.

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.

full quote is "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, vox populi, vox dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.”
it translates to:
"Do not listen to those who say the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."

There are rules that all elected public servants in Ontario must follow while upholding the duties of their office. These are enshrined in provincial law and are supposed to be enforced. I hope the will get on top of investigating this immediately.

🚨Ontarians should write to their MPP to ask for an integrity / privacy commissioner investigation: Did breach the oath of the Premier’s office and conflict of interest rules when he privately told developers he would allow them to develop lands in the greenbelt?

A reminder, as Ont worry about what Monday might look like, makes $165,000-$185,000, receives enhanced benefits, & a housing allowance of over $2300 per month for a few months of "working". He is tweeting out pics of himself from home, NOT at the bargaining table. Why?

Stephen Lecce, a man without kids, continues to bully & belittle a workforce that is 71-75% women, who care for our kids, and are often moms too, including their union president, .
There is nothing more hurtful he could say than “they don’t care about kids”. Horrible.

Hey Doug & Stephen,
I’m a parent. If teachers had been on strike for 2,246 days, an equivalent of *12 years* of school, I’m pretty sure I would have noticed

Its been said many times before but it continues to enrage me that Ontario has an education minister who was only ever private schooled and has no experience with public eduction. WTAF.

Maybe instead of thinking $3.25 is a huge raise. Maybe ask yourself...why does $3.25 make up 11.7% of their wage? Flip the script and it clearly shows we are under paid.
Food for thought...

No one that works a full-time job should struggle to pay their bills each month.
Workers deserve a living wage. They deserve a fair deal now.
