Repeat: Never. Leave. A. Loved. One. Alone. In. A. Hospital. when seriously ill. Ever. A friend or relative must be at their bedside at all times if possible, or as much as possible. Their life chances and recovery depend on it bc nurses can't provide the full care they need.

If we decided that $2000 a month is a basic requirement to live for out of work workers. Why are we making people who are often the most vulnerable of society, and the sick and disabled, live in crushing poverty at 650-1050 a month?

It's the most sickening, egregious, sleazy govt corruption scandal in Ontario in my lifetime. It rates as one of the worst most flagrant abuses of power in Canadian history. It would land most US Governors a lengthy prison sentence. It's so serious...the Opposition should call

@Mikeggibbs I don't know if you noticed Mike, but not one reporter thanked Ms. Lysk for her report, what the hell is going on in Ontario? NDP/Liberals want resignation of Clark, just Clark? What about Ryan Amato, chief of staff running amok?

I hate it when politicians yell at us during pandemic. What I loved about Trudeau is that it was pretty clear he wasn't angry at us. He's angry at the premiers. He screamed at them for us. I liked that.

I worked for an Ontario Minister of Finance, and also inside a few government ministries. Cabinet ministers cannot drive themselves on work days. In fact it's forbidden, an ironclad rule they have no say in at all. Because: 1. Canada is a major world economic player. A modern

Finance Minister Freeland, says she doesnโ€™t own a car, but neglects to mention her taxpayer-funded car and driver. Public records show she used a government car and chauffeur at least 15 times between April 2021 and March 2023 for travel around Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City.

Do NOT "both sides" this. The PCs are 100% to blame for disrupting your child's education. How can parents tolerate knowing education workers use food banks bc the govt is underspending by 8 Billion Dollars? Parents, stand with them for as long as it takes! #StrikeBackOntario

WARNING: Let's get ahead of this, okay? Doug Ford is going to go on television today and yell at people. He's going to be angry. And the first impulse of many if not most people, will be "Good for Doug, he's right". RESIST. THAT. COMPULSION. He's playing you.

Saskatchewan will allow bars to open. With a 50% capacity rule. And *hoping* drunk people will observe social distancing rules. I didn't realize a government this stupid was possible in Canada. And I live in Ontario.

I'm with Trudeau and the feds on this one, I assume Jagmeet agrees: THE PROVINCES MUST SPEND HEALTH TRANSFERS ON HEALTH, AND WHATEVER PRIORITIES THE FEDS SET. The federal govt is ELECTED. Voters want them to ensure transfers aren't stolen and hidden by sketchy lying Premiers.

3 important things about the federal Judge's decision on the Emergencies Act: 1. *The Judge said he would have supported invoking the Act as they did had he been sitting around the cabinet table. That with the information they had at the time, the cabinet did the right thing.*

I'm one of those people who gets a severe reaction to Covid. I was almost hospitalized last year. So I would appreciate it if people would do what they can to limit spread during this wave. Wear a mask indoors around crowds. And get vaccinated when vaccines are available.
