The CPC’s stance to inflict abuse on a medical doctor, an expert in the field, and threaten her license because it does not follow their belief is appalling and disgusting. Poilivere did the same when he insulted @MikePMoffatt in the House. This is not leadership. #cdnpoli

Next person who says to me “I don’t know how you can be Deputy Mayor and be a Mom”.. I’m going to keep it real. My house is a mess and my kids eat more KD + hot dogs than they probably should. But sometimes, I can be a great Mom, it’s balance. #parenting #munipoli #momprobs

🪡: This is a bit of a lazy take and just feeds into the urban/rural divide that exists in this province. The issue is far more complex than a “do better” tweet and assumptions those in rural Ontario don’t actually care about anything. #onpoli #ruralmatters 1/

One thing we don’t highlight enough, is how the average person is one misfortune away from being unhoused and surviving the streets. If we did, we’d be a little more empathetic, and demand more from our elected officials. Especially a certain one in #ldnont .

It’s an emergency in Niagara Region because of the sheer amount of people expected to flock to the city. They are expecting 1.5 million tourists that afternoon to watch the eclipse. Declaring a state of emergency is solely so they can put more resources into traffic control, etc.
