Clearly, you or your team has decided that all you have to do is repeat this message ad infinitum and, sadly, that's probably correct. But nowhere do I see an explanation of how the costs of artificially suppressing property tax increases will be paid. What won't we have?

More accurately, this is how corporate owmed news agencies spin bad news as someone else's fault, rather than criticize a Republican President. Canadians should be mindful that the American Public is fed bad intel.

Will I vote for Leiper? Yes. Am I enthusiastic about him? Not really, no. Will things get worse if he's mayor? Not intentionally. Will he stand up to OPS? Not likely. Will he be better than Sutcliffe? Of course. Will he offer any bold ideas? Nope. Do I think you should vote for him? Yes I do.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

The whole graf is hilarious The film (that I have not seen) “falls short on every dimension”
I haven't seen the film. This means I cannot confidently assess its editing, corroboration, or the full testimony it presents. I would love to live in a world in which I could wait, watch the movie, and have a sober debate about its claims.
Unfortunately, the discourse online is not so patient. That's why it's necessary to examine the argument its makers have published, the reporting on which it builds, and the standards by which its allegations should be judged. The film falls short on every dimension.

Thanks to Doug Ford and Paul Calandra, 80,000 elementary educators have to order classroom supplies from Staples this year instead of from their school boards. I decided to do a little comparison shopping for school supplies many of us will have to order over the course of a school year. 🧵 #OntEd

I don’t miss American alcohol. I don’t think about it. I won’t buy it any time soon. But the primary reason for pulling it was to leverage it in trade bargaining. So, yeah, go ahead and trade it back. That’s the point. Then the consumer can decide if they want to buy it.

There's just no real case to be made that Canada should be making concessions or expending energy to preserve and deepen our economic integration with the United States. They are an unreliable ally, and an empire in decline.

Agreed. And I think right now, where we give people such little room to make mistakes and grow, it's more important than ever. Also, folks gotta learn to differentiate "I learned new information, so I changed my mind" from "I'm gonna flip flop depending on how the winds blow." Two different things!
