The human species are an incredibly odd bunch.
Ontario is now reporting 440 measles cases in 2025 so far, compared to 64 in 2024, and 101 between 2013 and 2023.
The vast majority of infections are in unvaccinated individuals.
The measles vaccine is free, widely available, highly effective and backed by decades of safety data.

“Better and faster” is an absolute must. Reactionary will be at our peril.
If I were running a political social media account or campaign, I'd hire a former journalist as the team's digital lead / fact checker to get ahead of misinformation/disinformation.

I am proud to represent my country, Canada, at the United Nations. A foundational principle of international law and the UN Charter is to respect the sovereignty and independence of other states. That’s why we support Ukraine. It’s also why we support ourselves.

Indefensible. Billions and billions on projects benefiting donors and friends while Ontarians go with family doctors and healthcare, education, disability benefits all chronically underfunded.
NEW: The provincial cost of redeveloping Ontario Place has now grown to $2.2B:
$700M: Science Centre
$500M: public realm
$280M: parking
$346M: increase in site servicing cost

Remember when there was a time where Chiefs of Staff of the Premier of Ontario who deleted emails were found guilty of violating Archives and Recordkeeping Act…
NEW: Months worth of government records are now considered “missing” after Premier Doug Ford’s Chief of Staff traded in a personal cell phone which was then “reset.”
The private phone was being used for government business.

Another serious question, is this a legitimate consideration? How would the two timelines work together with two possible elections on the horizon?

The CDN-US border could be the
most secure border in the world
and the incoming President would still make these claims and tariff threats. His decision making is not rooted in facts which makes anything Canada does almost unsatisfactory until such point he “feels” otherwise.

This was a setup from day one. Now somebody needs to find out the why.
ICYMI: The government says it was the science centre board of directors that ultimately closed the attraction but we have texts showing the premier's office (known as PO) was paying close attention days before. #OnPoli

This was never critical and necessary to close. There are many ulterior motives at play here.
NEW: The closure of the Ontario Science Centre was abrupt.
But did it need to be?
Internal documents reveal the gov’t was crafting and polishing a detailed public communications strategy a week-and-a-half before the urgent closure on June 21.

Ford government spent more than a week planning ‘end-of-day’ science centre closure | Globalnews.ca
The science centre was closed just hours after an announcement on Friday, June 21. The rush, the government, was due to the urgent safety issues plaguing the building.
