They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”
So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…
It was always a lie.

As Ontario pumps millions into private health care, public health will continue to suffer
Private facilities seem like a quick fix, but it leaves the public system with fewer health-care workers, which only further exacerbates public wait times for treatments. It’s a domino effect

Want to repeat that if folks even wore masks just where it’s easy—in the grocery store, on the subway, sitting at your desk at work—we could likely knock down community transmission substantially, and make life a lot safer in places where mitigation is harder—like nursing homes.
PSA: One of those anecdotal data points that might be useful to know—more than a quarter of my mom's ward at her nursing home has contracted Covid in the last 10 days or so.

While people are posting outrage over Pierre Poilievre billing the Canadian taxpayer around $8.9 million just for his living expenses in 2024, I think it's more effective to point out that this equates to over $24,000 per day.
Per.
Day.
$24,000. Every single day, including weekends.
