Guys. This isn't a climb down. "If you don't strike we'll rescind the legislation making your strike illegal" isn't a concession of ANY kind.

The schools in our school board are actively fundraising for HEPA air filters. This disgusting provincial government hasn't lifted a finger to improve school safety so public schools are coming to parents with hat in hand asking for money.

Philpott got booted from caucus because JWR recorded a phone call? No, wait. Philpott got booted from caucus because she stepped down from a powerful ministerial role in order to gain more power? No, wait. Philpott got booted from caucus because Scott Brison resigned?

I don't know how anyone could be awake for the last six years, of Trump, of Boris, of Doug Ford, and confidently declare that Pierre Poilievre will never be PM because he's too odious. Yes, he's odious. Odious people can win elections.

I repeat, anything less than a total prohibition on economic relations with Russia is unacceptable, @JustinTrudeau .

The province is actively preventing kids from getting boosted before the school year. Any journalists covering this?

Completely mystified why the province's pandemic response isn't being treated like the Walkerton water scandal but with the proportionate order of magnitude applied. The entire Ford cabinet should be wearing this, and in a sane world would have resigned in disgrace months ago.

For a lot of people $41K is a year's salary. For others it's a family trip you got covered for by a charity that your government keeps throwing cash at and that you just remembered you needed to reimburse.

It's wayyyy past time we pass a constitutional amendment to end public funding of the Catholic school system. Other provinces have done it. It only takes a resolution of the Ontario legislature and the federal House and Senate.
