We all know paid sick days would help control the virus. The Premier is choosing not to do this because he thinks keeping the cost of labour as low as possible is more important than stopping the virus. This tells about the purpose of the Conservative party.

Here's how to use language to deceive people: Lilley says the phone purchase was "cancelled". It was never approved in the first place. The TDSB asked for bids. The bids came back. The TDSB decides not buy. Happens all the time. It's not "cancelling".

I can't believe is how many teachers are defending the plan, now cancelled due to budget constraints, to spend big on pricey iPhones for administrators. This is money that should have been earmarked for the classroom. Read & RT #onpoli #topoli #education

It's not censorship if it doesn't involve state action. The lawyers at Cineplex who reviewed this statement would certainly know that. In other words, Cineplex is all too happy to attempt to mislead people in order to defend their decision to show this movie.

This whole thing has been amazing to watch. A key thing about the Fords is their focus on the small stuff. Another key thing is their relentless ability to get it wrong.

This is shocking. The Attorney General directing people to a web site whose sponsers include a front group set up by a lobbyist of behalf of a commercial interest that will benefit from breaking a contract with the Beer Store.

What happened? @AndrewScheer tweeted a dumb climate change tweet. I called it "dreck" and it vanished. Peeps, if it emerges that I can keep him from tweeting dumb climate stuff, I promise to use this power for good.

I am at a loss. Effectively this says that if a political party runs on an counterfactual platform the rest of us are silenced. Am tempted to form a Party that Postmedia is not real and prevent them publishing.

I'm on a bus in southern Ontario. I just saw yet another subdivision scraped clean of all living things, carefully prepared to have a bunch of sprawl built on it. There was a large sales sign: "Coming soon: EVOLUTION." People, I had a moment of despair.

Hey Ryan, you are an Ontario Proud board member too! Maybe you can answer some questions. How much money did developers give you guys to try to influence the election? Did you disclose that you were developer-funded during the campaign?
