Me a year ago: I’m not really into baseball.

Me this morning: sorry I’m late boss. Was up late last night celebrating!

Bill 33, along with much of what Ford and his government does, ignores the root of the problem with our education system. Those making decisions continually fail to consult the best experts when making decisions: educators.

Educators & Education Workers are the only ones who see the changes needed.

There’s a lot going on in the U.S. and it’s so crazy that it’s hard to look away. But Doug Ford is doing a lot of bad things right under our noses, and we can’t get distracted. He’s dangerous, and he’s not done cutting education. Pay attention and stay vigilant.

What I’ve learned watching New York City cop shows is that people in NYC being questioned are really good at remembering addresses off the top of their head and never have to look them up.

I barely remember my own address most days.

First, let me say that the death of Charlie Kirk is tragic. No matter how perverse his beliefs were, no one deserves to die like that.

In a completely unrelated matter, now is a really good time to clean up your Facebook friends.

Congratulations to Pierre Polievre…after losing his own seat, kick out his own MP to run again, stay in government subsidized housing even though he wasn’t elected, cost the taxpayers millions to do a completely unnecessary by-election.

But yeah, well fought I guess?

I don’t understand, has he developed a phobia of shooting? It seems like every time he gets close to the net he passes.

The funny thing about leafs fans (of which I count myself part of) is that if there’s bad reffing, they’ll get angry and yell and scream about it, but if it’s legitimately the team that screwed up, we will go after the players HARD. They dropped every ball last night.

Just a reminder that PP’s by-election power trip is costing taxpayers $1.38 Million.

All future arguments from PP about wasteful spending are invalid.

Want to answer a question like Pierre? It’s easy!

Just answer with “after 10 years of the woke Liberal agenda…” and then say whatever you want.

You don’t even have to answer the question!

I have zero issue with the Minister of Education sending financial investigators into the school boards. Spending at the board level should be heavily scrutinized.

But if you’re not willing to amalgamate the public and Catholic boards, I can’t take this financial scrutiny seriously.

I don’t know if this will affect our friendship, but I have been a die-hard fan of the leafs for 30+ years. I hate Ottawa with the passion of a 1000 suns.

PP’s only solution to fixing this country is “the liberals messed it up”.

That’s not a plan.

Tariffs tax everyone at the same rate, instead of the marginal rates of income tax, so poor and middle class people will be way more affected by them than rich people.

In case any of you were wondering why Trump is doing this.

Pierre’s still obsessed with the Carbon Tax even after it’s been removed. It’s proof he has no substance and only knows how to campaign (and govern) through division and lies.

Poillievre is obsessed with what Carney might do or might not do as PM because it’s the only reality he can imagine.
