The Ford government quietly changed its building code, clearing the way for more triple-bunking in Ontario’s overcrowded jails The practice is decried by judges as inhumane and has led to reduced sentences as compensation. archive.ph/ZYFK5
The province did not answer a question about whether it intends to make triple-bunking standard practice going forward in provincial jails, where roughly 80 per cent of inmates are awaiting trial and have not been convicted.

The wrong way to treat the right to know archive.ph/5cLNI#select...
Evidence is piling up that the three-term government is increasingly allergic to transparency. This is self-serving behaviour from politicians with no shortage of scandals, making it harder for the media and public to hold them to account.
Especially now, with the province facing major threats, Mr. Ford needs to remember that the public is his boss. They have a right to know what he is doing.
In a few ways, though, the premier has made it harder for the people to keep tabs on him.
One example is the no-press press conference. One of these happened last month.
On that day, Mr. Ford livestreamed a housing announcement on YouTube. Although this looked on its face like a press conference it was lacking one crucial element: journalists. In fact, the media didn’t find out about the event until Mr. Ford’s social media account posted that it had happened.

4 Elements of Lithium-lon
Battery Safety
1. Certification
Only use batteries that have one of the recognized
Canadian certification marks, such as CSA, cUL and CETL and continuously monitor the battery health.
3. Tampering
Never attempt to modify, tamper with, or build your own lithium-ion batteries.
2. Charging
Lithium-ion batteries can be a fire hazard when improperly charged. Avoid overcharging. Keep your battery in sight when charging and unplug it when charging is complete.
4. Disposal
Lithium-ion batteries are household hazardous
waste and should never be placed in the garbage

We need more doctors and we should publicly fund psychologists and other providers of mental health care. Again, the chart: cmha.ca/what-we-do/s...
Investment in mental health as % of overall healthcare budget
Canada (average) 6.3%
United Kingdom 9%
Sweden 9%
Germany 11%
France 15%
Mental health care is grossly underfunded, and mental health is often a privilege available only to those who can afford it
