Following news that Labour Minister David Piccini is under investigation over the Skills Development Fund scandal, CP24 asked me why Ontarians should care about this at a time when the cost of living is on everyone's mind. Here’s my response:

As I just said on radio food banks and lines should never be thought of as a solution. We must hold ALL levels of gov to account! As Premier for 8 yrs Ford put in policies that legislated poverty in Ontario and made it much worse. We need to demand a real PLAN. #Onpoli #cndpoli 🇨🇦

When Hitler declared war on the universities there was an exodus of researchers.
The American "century" benefited from the influx of great thinkers.
Trump's war on American universities is the end of that century.

Canada's Century Has Begun
There was an item in the last federal budget that didn’t get much attention but it’s a detail that has the potential to transform Canada’s place in the world.

55% of Ontarians didn't vote in the last provincial election. People have lost faith in government because of politicians like Doug Ford.
That's my challenge. Getting out there and earning people's trust. Showing them government doesn't have to be corrupt. That it can change things for the better.
