Then explain this: your government just made American-owned Staples the exclusive vendor for every teacher's $750 classroom supply card, so not one of those dollars can go to a Canadian business. Buy Ontario means cancel the Staples deal. It's common sense.

This is pretty much the fastest anyone has won a trade war in history.
Canada to permanently replace the US with the EU:
"This fall we will begin intense discussions with the European Union, the world's second-largest economy, to build a much stronger and deeper economic and security partnership"
"We are trusted, we are reliable" #cdnpoli

Hey @PaulCalandra did you ever consider a Canadian supplier for the $750 for #onted? Grand and Toy is Canadian. Imagine captain Canada @fordnation screwing a Canadian distributor over an American company!

Doug Ford wants to be the Premier of Toronto.
Whether it’s Billy Bishop or bike lanes, Doug wants to control city-planning.
If only he’d apply the same interest to the rest of the province.

As a party leader, it’s my responsibility to create a culture where this is unacceptable behaviour. Now Ford calls it “politics as usual”.
I agree with him, this is Ford’s usual politics. Toxic, self-interested and no accountability. But it doesn’t have to be. Ontario deserves a better politics.
NEW: Premier Doug Ford claims he "just found out" that the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party -- which he heads -- spent $3,000 -- to send an individual to Jamaica to allegedly spy on then-Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie.
"I don't approve of it," Ford says.
The premier adds that he doesn't "watch every single dollar" that the Ontario PC Party spends.
"I rely on our team to make sure they spend it appropriately," Ford says.

Premier Doug Ford claims the media has followed him "down to Florida, Chicago and New Jersey."
We've asked the Premier's Office for proof of this.

Ontarian’s are getting tired of Didn’t Know Doug™
- Didn’t know about the $8B Greenbelt deal run out of his own office.
- Didn’t know about the cash-for-access abuses of the $3B Skills Development Fund that went to many donors and friends of the PCs.
- Didn’t know about the luxury expenses his MPPs were putting on taxpayers.
- Didn’t know why the cost of building infrastructure quadrupled in 10 years.
- Didn’t know his party sent a hack to spy on his political opponent on vacation.
The buck never stops with Ford. But hey, at least he’s folksy folks!

You’re an idiot. You don’t like being reminded of what kind of monster Kirk was. Isn’t it ironic that he ended up in the same place as the kids he said were acceptable deaths to keep the second amendment. By the very weapon he wanted to keep. Gods hand at play. Pay attention.

Despite all the rebranding - new hair, no glasses, spanx, muscle edits in his pics - this remains the clearest indicator of who Pierre Poilievre really is …

Nanos today shows the Liberals 6.2 percent ahead. Liaison Strategy has them 5 percent in the lead. Looks like Mainstreet is an outlier.
