Less than a week to go until Christmas and I’m growing concerned we’re not going to get a folksy Christmas video from Doug Ford and I don’t know what the point of having the province’s most expensive government ever is if we don’t get a folksy Christmas video from our Premier.

On CBC’s The National tonight, Poilievre insults Carleton constituents by labelling them as self-serving civil servants, and it is the perfect display of why we all hate him.
When asked about his election loss, he takes zero accountability and blames his platform promise to trim the civil service.

It’s vital a government listens to the people it serves, like those calling for primary healthcare or smaller class sizes.
It’s not important for government to legitimize categorically dumb ideas from a small group of silly people simply because they know how to present themselves as a PAC.

Today my daughter (8) told me a story about a child who called her and other little girls at school “fat.”
And now, when I scroll reels on Facebook, I see ads for children’s bariatric surgery.
This is so fucked up.

One of the sneaky ways governments are privatizing healthcare AND one of the reasons public healthcare costs are ballooning despite the decline in service.
This is out of control.

New @policyalternatives.ca report from me:
Rise in for-profit agency nurse costs in Ontario hospitals 'exorbitant,' says researcher
Hospitals turn to staffing agencies when they can't fill shifts, which further exacerbates staffing shortages

Ontario hospitals paid for-profit staffing agencies $9.2 billion over a decade, a finding that comes as one hospital aims to stop its use of temp services by September.

Hands down, my favourite moment from last night's #cdnelxn coverage was when Rosemary asked Jason Kenney about conservatives waiting in the wings for Poilievre's job.
Which was awkward. For reasons.
Like some on the panel, I could not had kept a straight face.

Watching Jason Kenney as a CBC commentator tonight as if he didn’t put an entire province at risk mere years ago in order to retain the far-right antivax vote.
Fuck him. He doesn’t get to come back as some sort of common-sense conservative.

After living in AB for over a decade, I think the wildest part was going through a long, devastating economic downturn, then finally seeing things improve, and no one ever mentioning it again.
