I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is 210,000 Ontario college students losing their funding.

I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is minimum wage earners in Ontario losing a $2000 per year income increase.

I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is taking away the ability to take time off work if you or your child has been threatened with/experienced sexual, physical, or domestic assault.

I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is pulling the plug on an expert panel to end violence against women that was established under the Liberals to provide strategic advice on policies.

I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is delaying delivering critically needed, already-budgeted funding to sexual-assault crisis centres across Ontario.

I guess the cost of hating Kathleen Wynne is cancelling a plan to combat climate change without having a replacement plan prepared, and spending hundreds of million's of dollars in court to fight the federal government's plan.

Lets look at some @CPC_HQ Income double dippers! For those prudent fiscal warriors who 6 figure salaries aren't enough yet rail against minimum wage increases and basic income pilot projects: Erin O'Toole, Scott Reid, Ted Falk, and David Tilson. @CPC_HQ #cdnpoli #cdnmedia
Hey look, Erin O'Toole currently earns employment with Regent Law Professional Corporation. It must be nice for Erin to be moonlighting while GM in his riding is shuttering operations and 2500 of his constituents are losing jobs! Way to look out for number one. #cdnpoli #cdnecon
Lanark–Frontenac–Kingston @CPC_HQ MP Scott Reid, currently earns employment income as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Giant Tiger Stores, Ltd. I wonder how is relationship with the Ontario PC Party influenced the repeal of Bill 148? #cdnpoli #onpoli

In 1995, the PC govt created the “Red Tape Commission,” which led to cuts & deregulation of water safety, which led to the deaths of seven people at Walkerton. Those deaths led to the Clean Water Act, which the Ford govt now believes to be red tape thestar.com/opinion/contri… #onpoli
From the archives: Mike Harris, his Red Tape Commission and the Walkerton inquiry theglobeandmail.com/opinion/what-d… #onpoli
Here is Part 1 of the Walkerton Inquiry Report, with several chapters outlining the PC government’s role in the tragedy. In Part 2, the report recommended what became the Clean Water Act, which the Ford government now believes to be red tape archives.gov.on.ca/en/e_records/w… #onpoli

Thread: To give you an idea of the scope, scale and speed of bad news for Ontario's new government, consider these stories, all published within the past 15 hours.
Independent credit ratings agency Moody's downgraded the province a notch. This is a big deal, as it will likely increase borrowing costs. In addition to the high debt and deficit left by the Liberals, Moody's also pointed to the government's unwillingness to increase revenue.
You can read more about the credit rating story here:

There has been a lot of news in the last day related to the provincial government. In case you want to see them in one thread, lets start with this exclusive by @robertbenzie @TorontoStar 1/ thestar.com/politics/provi… #onpoli
This story, broken this morning by @_kevindonovan: thestar.com/news/canada/20… #onpoli @TorontoStar 2/
This response to news revealed last night by North American media about Hydro One deal lost due to concerns over political interference (not sure who had the original story first). @TorontoStar @robertbenzie #onpoli 3/ thestar.com/news/queenspar…

Some thoughts (without having seen the details of anything beyond the linked article) about #DougFord 's Buck-A-Beer challenge. 1/

First off, all I know is what I've heard and read in articles like this one
theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
That being said, there are a whole lot of things going on here, and (almost) none of it is good.
1. Incentivising brewers to lower their prives to buck a beer is going to benefit only the larger breweries. Small brewers likely cannot afford to reduce costs to do so.
2. How do I know this? Glad you asked. I worked for one of the first buck-a-beer brewers in the early 2000s as we launched it. We needed a massive volume increase to make it work. We got it, but largely because we got their first and there weren't a tonne of other players.

OK. So here's a wild story for you #onpoli folks involving one rather racist city councillor in Mississauga by the name of @carolynhparrish, some strange (and rather coincidental) behaviour by City staff, and Carolyn's election challenger being spiked as a candidate

(Thread)
First, you may be familiar with @carolynhparrish due to a story just over a year ago. @therealrussellp appeared on CNN to discuss his use of race and ethnicity in his comedy, and mentioned feeling more 'assimilated' in the US, than he did in Canada:

This is how @carolynhparrish responded:

So

You want to vote for the @OntarioPCParty and Doug Ford because you're mad about corruption and ethics
One of the Conservative candidates stole the data over over 60,000 407 customers and resigned over it. #onpoli

himself violated campaign finance laws by attending a fundraiser. #onpoli
