The Ford Conservatives voted down @OntLiberal MPP @LFaircloโ€™s motion calling for an Auditor General investigation into the OSAP scandal. They announced they would vote against it before even hearing the debate. So much for transparency & accountability. We deserve answers. Sign my petition: tylerwattmpp.ca/fix-osap-asaโ€ฆ #onpoli

I will be happy with a simple majority of semi-sane, semi-intelligent people. The odds are 50-50 this being America.
Here in Canada, weโ€™re hoping for a blue tsunami in the U.S. midterms!

Last year, @PBethlenfalvy gave his PC MPPs colleagues huge raises from 40% to 70%. "They need to be able to put food on their tables & afford to feed their familes" he claimed. Vulnerable workers, families, seniors should be grateful we have food banks in ontario. Nothing for u!

Hallway healthcare is normalized in Ontario. Itโ€™s tragic. You donโ€™t have to be a nurse, doctor, MPP or reporter to know. Patients and families experience it and witness it daily. The Ford government underfunds our hospitals and magically think itโ€™ll go away. An affront to human dignity with poorer patient outcomes. @karenmccrimmon
The number of people suffering through hallway healthcare have INCREASED 50% since the Ford government took over in 2018. He said heโ€™d make it better but he made it significantly worse!

Last night Trump said he could have won Vietnam in a week. His plan was โ€œgoing after Ho Chi Minh City.โ€ Ho Chi Minh City was Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Our ally. The enemyโ€™s capital was Hanoi. We bombed it. He called the presidents who fought that war stupid, then explained how heโ€™d have won it by attacking our own side. 58,220 Americans died in that war. Trump got five deferments. Now heโ€™s telling the rest of us how easy it would have been. Heโ€™s had more than fifty years to learn which side we were on. He still hasnโ€™t. That alone should disqualify him from sending anybody elseโ€™s kids to war. Instead, heโ€™s weighing more strikes on Iran after Tuesday. His administration has reportedly considered using the โ€œmother of all bombs,โ€ the one he calls โ€œlike a tiny nuclear bomb.โ€ The man who thinks we should have bombed our allyโ€™s capital gets to choose the targets.

There is a danger that the US normalises this. The occasional death from H5N1, the pre-existing conditions, the risk to the public is low. This virus is circulating in unprecedented ways, with likely many more people infected than recorded. A ticking biological time bomb.

Premier Doug Ford says Ontario needs private career colleges because the former Liberal government (which was in power eight years ago) "destroyed the health care system" and that -- the premier suggests is the "root cause" for why the PCs are reliant on the colleges. #onpoli

Another bombshell on the billion dollar OSAP scandal. Over 8,300 OSAP applications came from just THREE IP addresses. The Ford government was warned as early as 2023 and received over 220 tips, complaints and referrals since January 2024. They had the warnings. They refused to act until Oct 2026. Now students are paying the price. We need a full forensic audit. cp24.com/politics/queens-parโ€ฆ #onpoli

BREAKING: Estonia is now the latest country hit by a cyberattack targeting supermarket refrigeration systems, following incidents reported this morning in Belgium, Sweden, and Luxembourg. Hackers reportedly accessed the control system of a large supermarket chain and remotely raised a freezer's temperature to +50ยฐC. According to Kitman Coldtech CEO Jann Mutso, several clients in Estonia have been targeted. The attack exploited vulnerabilities in older refrigeration controllers. The incident was detected and addressed within approximately 10 minutes, preventing major damage. Major Estonian supermarket chains reportedly using the affected technology include Selver, Rimi, Coop, and Lidl.

There is no post-Covid classroom. There is continuing to teach during a pandemic, and ignoring the impact of repeated infections on students and staff. The impact on attendance, performance and behavior was predicted and it's all come true.
If you havenโ€™t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you donโ€™t know what it is like to teach the modern student. The students have changed. Teaching has changed. You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.

How many times do we have to explain this? What part of your brain switched off and convinced you COVID just packed its bags and disappeared? When a magician shows you an empty top hat, do you genuinely believe the rabbit ceased to exist? COVID didnโ€™t disappear. We stopped looking for it, stopped talking about it, and somehow confused silence with safety. Stop calling this a โ€œpost-COVID world.โ€ Weโ€™re post-emergency declarations. Post-precautions. Post-giving-a-damn, apparently. But we are NOT post-COVID. The rabbit is still here. And at this point, Iโ€™m starting to think itโ€™s the only one with object permanence. ๐Ÿ‡๐ŸŽฉ

Hereโ€™s Martha Stewartโ€™s meaningless statement claiming she was โ€œtrying to bring awarenessโ€ to homelessness. No, Martha. You didnโ€™t bring awareness. You mocked and shamed people who are already struggling to survive. Want to raise awareness? Volunteer at a shelter. Hand out meals. Spend time listening to people experiencing homelessness. Better yet, with your enormous wealth and influence, help create pathways to housing. Homelessness isn't a Halloween costume. It's a human crisis. And people living through it deserve dignity, not humiliation.

This will be the winter of the informed. Those who skip big events and mask everywhere will, for the most part, remain virus free. Those who do big events, travel, go to bars, restaurants, and so on, will likely get at least 1 virus because they have 0 clue about what's going on.

Never ignore the warning signs of a stroke: Facial droop Arm weakness Speech difficulty Time to call 9-1-1
From Sen. Chris Murphyโ€™s staff: โ€œYesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his sonโ€™s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke. He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery.โ€
