It’s April 1 ! Carbon Tax Day!
Indulge me for a longer tweet:
The whole premise of carbon pricing as a policy is to make things so expensive that we change our behaviour: ie: drive less and heat our homes less.
There are many ways to fight climate change — this…
Who caught
@TheSocialCTV
today? The part where Jess called hockey parents of "white boys".... "that type" of person... yadda yadda yadda... and the cohosts and audience nodded along and clapped. Well, I'm a
#hockeymom
of a little boy who doesn't appreciate your crap.
Here's the thing:
It's time we, the ones who aren't Jewish, stood INFRONT of the Jewish community at every one of these protests and said, collectively:
"You've got to get through us first"
Because it seems the ones who hate the Jews have their allies standing next to them,…
This is how I spend Sunday afternoons. Grateful to the coaches and volunteers who provide a supportive, inclusive and fun atmosphere for my son. I guess I could be doing other stuff, per
@TheSocialCTV
, but I’m happy to be the type of person who watches her son play hockey.
When the dust settles, and we all return to our normal lives (please God), let us never ever forget that during a time of crisis,
@JustinTrudeau
tried to use panic and goodwill from his legislative colleagues to steal power.

I always thought

But today, she tweeted a video that spliced the highlighted parts from this transcript 👇🏻 in an effort to mislead Canadians about

#cdnpoli
My dad is 75, and we’ve been on him not to socialize, obviously, bc of Covid.
So, he kept his pool open, because its something he loves to do.
Yep, the hydro bill is ridiculous, but as he says, he’s a saving money by not doing anything else.
This was yesterday 👇🏻
He wins.
I’m a mom to two boys.
I’m teaching them about respect, equity and equality.
But I’m done with them being taught they’re less-than because they’re boys. Enough.
@CTVVancouver
This tweet isn’t true. She isn’t speaking out. You ambushed her at her home and she was gracious about it. This is beyond words. I’m shocked
@CTVNews
allowed and aired this
Things parents were talking about at the rink this am:
1. Kids need to be in school. (No one cares about fault or right to bargain. They just want their kids in school).
2. Tylonel shortage.
That’s the list.

I think what

@MichelleRempel
- you’re entitled to both”. Anyone else want to throw shade at an MP for making it work or wonder why so few women get into politics?
Just paid $3.89 for a loaf of bread. Last year that loaf was $2.50.
Economists often talk about inflation in units that aren't tangible to everyday people.
Talk about bread.

4 hours of debate for $150 billion in spending. They shut down parliament. We're the only G7 country in the world without a functioning parliament during this crisis.... but sure.

Social distanced kayaking! This morning, we were honoured to host Ministers
@cathmckenna

@PattyHajdu

@HarjitSajjan

@MonaFortier
, and David Lametti. During these crazy times, there’s nothing like a little socially distanced R&R out on the water. Thanks for everything!!! 🚣♂️
Just a few edits, if you don’t mind Prime Minister:
We’re making every single family, business, hospital, church, school, senior, student, low income mom, fire station, police service, etc pay and giving some of the money, maybe, back to Canadians. Cc
@cathmckenna
@JustinTrudeau
A teacher in the U.S. had her students turn their phones on loud, and every time they received a notification they went up and put a tally mark under the correct category. This was one class, one period. Every one of these tally marks is an interruption in a students education.
Two thoughts:
1- No politician in Canada should ever face physical harm. Ever. Anywhere.
2- No political campaign should ever take tour risks that put event participants, including media and police at risk.
Both points are true.

Normal people are worried that they can't afford their rent and that gas costs $1.75/Litre.

Interesting to read the jubilant comments of the Liberals over this article - none of whom where there.
I *actually* was at the roundtable and townhall. I didn't audio record it (but we all know who did, btw, we saw her).
I can tell you that as a whole, between the two events,…

Like 100s of other Canadian health professionals, I've returned the front lines, to help the amazing team at the

COVID assessment centre. If you think you have symptoms or in close contact with someone who has it, use this self-assessment tool:
Typical CBC headline. Truth is that

scrapped cap and trade. Refiners passed along the almost 5 cents a litre savings to drivers. Prices fluctuate based on many factors but gas is 5 cents a Litre cheaper than it would otherwise be. But don’t tell that to

I gave

She seems excited about it in this clip from yesterday morning.

I live in Etobicoke. When
@DeMar_DeRozan
was in Toronto he lived somewhere around here. His kids went to local schools and he’d be out sometimes....Walking. Coffees. Doing normal things. You know what we did when we saw him? Left him the (bleep) alone.
#leaveKawhialone
I’m floored that
@TorontoStar
printed an op-ed from a current political staffer from the Prime Minister’s Office… and even more galling- didn’t lead with that in the article!
The headline uses the words “Trust me”. But it doesn’t say “Trust me, because I work in the PMO”.…
What happened to
@cathmckenna
is disgusting and vile. Showed the worst of our society. Wondering where the same rage was when
@GailVazOxlade
used the same word against Lisa MacLeod. Female politicians face this hatred everyday and we need to stand up to it every single time.
Maybe unpopular opinion esp within my more Conservative circles, but
@JustinTrudeau
is the leader of a G7 country.
It’s ridiculous that he travels on an old plane or that 24 Sussex is such a shithole he can’t live in it.
Sorry for swearing.
#cdnpoli
Inside PM’s plane, if anyone needed a refresher. Journalists at back - word is more reporters on this trip than any since 2015. Front beyond where you can see are most senior officials. Small PM cabin front left. It’s so old, extension cords run along floor to power devices.
1/8 Tonight in Quebec, Erin O’Toole pretended to be pro-choice. He did the same thing in his platform. But in reality, he’ll let his team bring forward legislation to restrict abortion access. That’s the same position as Andrew Scheer.
Premier Ford seems to have struck a nerve with the province over his weekend visit with his 4 daughters.
Two of his daughters, the premier said, don't live in his household. An Emergency Order enacted by Ford banned social gatherings over 5.

When asked about his candidate who stepped down after sexual misconduct allegations, Trudeau expresses frustrations that they no longer have a candidate in that riding.
So, Auston Matthews moons someone and the pundits say there’s no way he can wear the C. And the other guy blackfaces so many times he can’t remember but the same pundits give him a pass. What the....

Just about every single person who wears a construction vest is working hard with his or her hands, making a living for their family. How incredibly dismissive of you, Gerry.
I can hardly believe it!
When I first stepped into this race people told me I had no chance of raising the $300,000 entrance fee.
Fast forward to the final week of the campaign, and we have passed the TWO MILLION dollar fundraising mark.
Full Statment:
When Harper met Putin during the start of the Russian invasion into Ukraine... he told Putin: "I guess I'll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: You need to get out of Ukraine..." The Iranians KILLED 57 Canadians and our PM bows to the FM. BOWS.
#cdnpoli
On what planet should Canada recognize a two state solution where one half of that solution is Hamas?
And why would any peace-loving person living in Canada want Hamas to remain in power?
#cdnpoli
Also remarkable- funding under
@fordnation
has increased for education, health care, autism services. Would encourage this band to look into the policies we’ve put fwd to see what we’re actually doing - not what’s reported from union leadership.
Last night catching up w/ friends who are ps teachers, nurses, autism support workers.
Remarkable: their concerns are never about themselves, only the people they serve.
All wish they had support from
@fordnation

Imagine having the power to help, and refusing?
I favour a single, federal vaccine passport/proof (whatever) that can be used domestically where appropriate and internationally for travel.
But guys, remember this? If you went to grade school in Ontario you already have one of these, (and the sky didn't fall)

I’ll say it again... The

plan doesn’t work if you work beyond 9-5. It doesn’t if you have family help. It doesn’t work if a parent wants to stay home. Like a lot of their policies, it’s designed to be a good headline.

My son just "told on me" to his teacher that I didn't bring him snacks for snacktime. And I didn't put the glue stick in the right spot. And I didn't sharpen his pencils....
Lord give me strength.

Did she see the same video we all saw; and if so, are you kidding me?
Enough. She’s unsuited to serve in a role for the Federal Government. Because right now, the call is coming from inside the house.
Hospitals and medical workers must always be safe to provide important services for patients and their families.
Last night's protest route in front of the Mount Sinai hospital had a negative impact and that's troubling and wrong in a society that cherishes freedom of assembly…
Feeling super blessed. Thank you to all my friends and colleagues for the fantastic send off! I’m blessed to have had the opportunity to work with all of you.
#Onpoli
Respectfully, school has processes in place- masking, sanitation, cohorting, protocols... what's causing community spread is groupings where people are doing none of the things that keep us safe. What's going to keep our students and adults safest is lowering community spread.
But still no reduction in class sizes?!
This defies any logic. If we are going to contain the spread of
#COVID19
we have to limit the number of students & adults coming into contact with each other.
Nothing the Premier has done addresses that. Nothing.

A thread 🧵
Why are media and the Liberals/left “so shocked” to be protested?
1) for many of you, it’s your first time. We here on the centre-right have been dealing with organized and sometimes violent protests for years. We just pivot a tour strategy.
Welcome to the club.
This is my Nanna. She had a gr 8 education and raised 3 kids mostly on her own. She taught us grit, work ethic, and never feeling sorry for yourself. She also taught me how to load a dishwasher so that one day someone would marry me. I’m so blessed and will miss her terribly.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. Very sad to be spending less time working with the guy on the right, but happy to be spending more time with the two on the left while always supporting our PC team! I'm forever grateful for the opportunity to work for the Ford Government.
During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

About a year ago, I had an endoscopy at a private facility in Hamilton.
I was referred by a doctor, showed up, I gave them my OHIP card, received exceptional, efficient care and then went home.

Remembering Mayor Ford, who passed away four years ago today. A fellow Etobian, he loved his community beyond measure and he made every single person he met feel valued and heard. Sending love to the Ford family.
