And here's what it's all about: young girls seeing a portrait of a former premier who's female. First time ever, folks. #onpoli @Kathleen_Wynne

Wonder why you're paying full price for auto insurance when you're not taking your car anywhere? So are the @OntarioNDP . They've asked the govt. to enact a 50% break on premiums for the next 3 months & let ppl who have lost income defer payments during the #COVID19 pandemic.

I suspect most of us, who live in the @cityoftoronto , know where Nathan Phillips Square is. But do you know who it's named after? This guy. He was mayor of Toronto from 1955-62 and as a Jew, was the first non-WASP ever to hold the job. He died 48 years ago today. #topoli

Ford: "I want to keep the border with the U.S. closed. Keep the trade moving. We love our American neighbours, but we have to keep the border closed. We can't risk it. We'll open our arms later, but we can't chance it now." #covid19ontario #Border

Lindsay predicted @POTUS would ruin the @GOP . Then he became his lackey. Then he said fraud was widespread. Now he’s saying “ @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris are lawfully elected”. Your head spinning enough? #uspolitics #RIOTS

. @JustinTrudeau : "We're watching the news out of the US with shock and horror. Black racism is real in the US and Canada. We know ppl face discrimination every day. We need as a society to stand against discrimination - be there for each other. We have work to do as well."

i've said this before but will reiterate: @Kathleen_Wynne is one of the few leaders around today who can speak well, off the cuff, with only a rare glance down at notes, and tell people why she's in public life. she's doing it now in her final speech in this 41st legislature.

Yonge and Queen. And I kid you not, but a young person just came up to me and said " #onpoli : wonderful podcast." You can't make this up. #WeTheNorth

A very happy 89th birthday today to @WilliamGDavisPC , Ontario's 18th premier. He's the only premier in the last 100 years to win 4 straight elections. And he's still actively involved in politics in @CityBrampton and beyond. #onpoli

"Have a heart," Premier Ford says to gas station owners, who are declining to let truckers use their washroom facilities. "Let the truckers have a break, they're keeping our economy going." #onpoli #covid19 #covid19ontario #Truckers @fordnation
