If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

POV : I am confused how each unit in an apartment building is charged a delivery fee for hydro. It comes to the building once and disperses from there.

My heart goes out to strays, dogs or cats, they don’t deserve such a terrible life, and now with winter coming, it’s getting harder.

We need to stop expecting schools to meet the needs of all kids and deliver a world-class education while stripping away funding for school and community programs and supports.
Children can’t learn when they are starving, unsafe, and don’t know where they will sleep tonight.

Instead of an austerity budget, we should be creating good jobs in science, research, green energy, and capitalizing on the areas the US is failing to invest in. And we should be putting tax dollars into public housing, education, and healthcare where it is desperately needed.
Imagine if Canada was investing in research and universities, instead of burning everything down.
A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet.
Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times.

The thing that gets me the most in this bill to circumvent renters' security and rent controls is the whinging excuse of mom-and-pop landlords trying to pay the mortgage.
They took the risk on that property. They are not owed the ability to always make a profit.

Doug Ford government proposes to allow tenant evictions when leases are up in new bill
Currently, tenants are protected from eviction unless there is a legal reason — such as unpaid rent or the landlord wants to move in — even after their lease expires.

In the last three homelessness has jumped 25% in Ontario. All on Doug Ford's watch.
Bill 60 will rip up protections for rent controls. This will cause a dangerous spike in evictions and homelessness.
This is seriously bad policy.
