Doug Ford is not the mayor of Ontario!
“Simply put, the local issues that directly affect city residents should be decided by them and their local representatives.
Local affairs are not improved by having Mr. Ford blunder into them.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... #topoli #onpoli

Globe editorial: Doug Ford is not the mayor of Ontario

The premier’s continual interventions in municipal affairs diverts attention from pressing provincial issues

Globe and Mail: Residents in Kapuskasing, the town northwest of Timmins where a pulp mill shutdown threatened thousands of jobs, before a possible government lifeline emerged this week, may reasonably want the premier to spend less time and political capital on removing bicycle lanes in downtown Toronto. Drivers who want investments to make dangerous rural highways safer may wonder at a transportation policy so laser-focused on banning urban speed cameras. And residents province-wide may question why they should pay for the spa at Ontario Place.

Show us the business case, and the businesses who will fund it.

The government can't approve something that's not defined yet.

Canada’s new government is starting Automatic Federal Benefits. We’re going to pre-file taxes for up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians, so they get the benefits they are entitled to — money that would otherwise be left unclaimed.

That aside, someone, you know, like the private sector needs to show us the marketability first. The plan, the dollars, the business case.

That has not been done yet.

He is lying.

For all intents and purposes except in times of war, it's impossible to force economic infrastructure upon a province.

The legal,sovereignty and court battles would last for years. And would result in deconfederation.

A video about how Canada “lost its faith” and became a secular nation in just a few generations. “One of the most remarkable transformations in modern history. A transformation so quiet, so polite, so quintessentially Canadian that it happened in complete silence.”

This is the investment that matters

It’s hard to find capital investment information in press releases that actually result in jobs

The supply chains are stabilizing after the chaos of the spring

🗣Canada🇨🇦 added 60,000 jobs in September — led by #manufacturing!

I support all these, and I am especially supportive of the school food program.

No child in Canada can ever grow hungry.

Not a one!

If the Ontario Libs and NDP worked together to fight Doug Ford in the last election we'd have an NDP/LIB government instead of a DoFo PC government.

It's time.

Automatic Tax Filing – Starting with the 2026 tax year, the CRA will automatically file taxes to help up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians access benefits they’re entitled to by 2028.
