If this guy is back, I’m out. See you, Twitterworld. You were better under the bird than the black X, as weirdly appropriate as it may be.
We have two choices: we can build the homes we actually need, in the places where we need them, or we can sell off environmentally sensitive land that will put billion$ in the pockets of Doug and his developer friends.
Does it strike anyone else as particularly fitting that Musk, as a political conservative, would choose as the (unnecessary) new symbol for this app a large black X? A philosophy of negation…
A sad loss. Segal was, in his time, the archetype of a Canadian-style Progressive Conservative: fiscally conservative and socially progressive. Those days are gone, and it’s an enormous loss for 🇨🇦. (Says one who has never voted Con.) cbc.ca/news/politics/hugh-se…

I remember reading in the news about “Christian gunmen” in Lebanon when I was a teenager. Reading about the behaviour of “conservative Christians” now feels as oxymoronic. And I say that as one who is, theologically at least, a fairly “conservative” Christian.
In sum: slavish devotion to inflation reduction is yet another way those with less pay the price to protect the wealth of those with a lot more. thestar.com/business/opinion…
Proof that Doug possesses a particular kind of brilliance: able to simultaneously reinstate an honourable tradition and strip it of all honour. thestar.com/politics/provinc…
This headline alone suggests to me that Biden is doing a fine job on the economy. cnn.com/2023/07/12/business/…
Nice move, Doug: simultaneously re-instated an honourable tradition and stripped it of any meaningful honour.

There’s a first for everything. I finally agree with PP on something.
Premiers are calling for the feds to streamline licensing for foreign-trained workers.
My plan for a Blue Seal test would allow anyone who passes a merit-based exam to work as a nurse or doctor anywhere in Canada. We have the Red Seal that does this for trades, let's bring home Blue Seal for medical professionals.

Understand when Pierre Poilievre says remove the gatekeepers, he specifically talking about removing:

“After getting elected in 2018, Ford cancelled more than 700 renewable energy projects at a cost of $231 million, and the province, which was once the Canadian leader in building wind and solar, hasn’t built any since.”
Ontario announced two massive nuclear expansions this week.
Despite nuclear's history of construction delays and cost overruns, we're told they'll quickly and cheaply provide carbon-free electricity
Meanwhile, # of new solar and wind projects: 0

Greg Paul retweeted
Since taking office, Ford has cancelled 750 renewable energy projects costing taxpayers $230 million and axed efficiency programs that help people save money.
Ontarians will pay the price for this government’s refusal to embrace renewables in favour of high-cost SMRs.

Indeed.

I understand Doug doing this - totally in character - but how is it Caroline was not just way too embarrassed to accept it?
Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney was called to the Ontario bar just three days before the Ford government announced she was getting a special title for lawyers that has been widely denounced as a patronage honour. trib.al/rDLMW72
Relax, Leafs Nation. With Kampf and Holmberg locked up, the Buds will be just fine. It’s just a matter of filling in a few support positions now.
