Doug Ford *falsely claiming* he has the power to audit his enemies when he doesn’t actually have that power is still a news story
But it’s kind of a different story than one uncritically accepting the premise that the Premier of Ontario can order the federal government to audit his enemies
But it’s kind of a different story than one uncritically accepting the premise that the Premier of Ontario can order the federal government to audit his enemies
It would have been nice if someone asked Doug Ford to explain how he plans to order these charity audits given charities are overseen federally by Canada Revenue Agency
Ford says he will audit ‘left-wing radical groups’ opposed to government legislation | Globalnews.ca
Ford's warning came after members of the tenant advocacy group ACORN interrupted the legislature to protest a controversial omnibus bill that shortens some eviction timelines.

If you know anyone involved with infection control at @uhn.ca, ask them why the policy isn't to use N95s. Do they understand how sketchy the claim is that medical masks are good enough? Is this all "just following orders"? Do they still believe they have nothing to learn from non-MDs?
