Even Conservatives I met this weekend while boothing at a Fall Fair don’t like Doug Ford, and their local Conservative MP even less. #onpoli

So many things could have been done with that corn had it been allowed to mature instead of just wasting it.

Our public schools are some of the least funded in Ontario. Should it be on schools to fundraise to cover this shortfall? I don’t think so. Read this article about a study out of @UWindsor theconversation.com/should-back-... #onpoli #education

Should back-to-school require parent fundraising? Ontario schools are woefully underfunded, and families pay the price
Ontario educators in a recent study discuss how underfunding affects day-to-day schooling, and places a burden on families for fees and fundraising.

We're hearing a lot about how we need to support industry in these trying times. Why isn't the agribusiness getting the same support? #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab #NoFarmersNoFood #onpoli

Friday fact: Maple Leaf Foods didn't leave Waterloo Region because they wanted an industrial mega-site. Regional reps keep saying this, but it's not true. It only required 50 acres. There wasn’t enough water for their needs. #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab #fridayfacts

This matters because it makes it prone to runoff during heavy rains. Severe erosion negatively affects the land and potentially water quality. This is happening on land owned by the Region as part of the #WIlmotlandgrab. #FridayFact #StandYourGround
