"If there is any meta-theme to be pulled from all of this weekend’s complete bonkers insanity, it’s that Premier Doug Ford and his government can no longer even pretend to be in control" .. tvo.org/article/there-… #Ontario #CovidChaos #COVID19 #onpoli #onhealth via @tvo
"On top of the unprecedented public-health disaster now unfolding — one that the government blithely stumbled into despite weeks of shouted warnings — Ford has also inflicted a truly mind-boggling political disaster on his party" .. #Ontario #CovidChaos #COVID19 #onpoli #onhealth
"During the third wave, we’ve seen the Ontario govt repeatedly change direction in a span of a week — an emergency brake, then a shutdown, then whatever the hell Friday was. Last week, we were seeing big policy reversals in days, or in a day. This weekend, it was down to hours."
"This is panic. This is chaos. This is a flailing, uncoordinated response to an emergency that, even if we failed to avoid it, we certainly knew was coming. The ship is blazing above decks, taking on water below, and there’s no one alive on the bridge." #COVID19 #onpoli #onhealth

@bonysko @CdnChange Improvements to Central Park: "The facility will boast 2 ice-surfaces: a permanent rink area with boards & a second family ice-skating surface that during the summer will be used as a double volleyball court." #Kenora #CentralPark
@bonysko @CdnChange "The Central Park project will provide dedicated lighting to the family ice surface, while the hockey rink will be reconstructed with new boards, lighting, a permanent rink liner (either asphalt, concrete, or rubber) to prolong ice-surface lifespan." #Kenora #CentralPark

Liberals' non-existent child care program; it's been around since 1984 .. "Shortly before the 1984 federal election, the Liberal government announced a Task Force on Child Care to be led by BC sociologist Katie Cooke." .. childcarecanada.org/documents/rese… #shameful #cdnpoli #childcare
"Most of the 1990s saw child care off the national political agenda after the Liberals' Red Book commitment to improve and expand child care at the national level was not fulfilled. After the Red Book, child care was off the national table until 2003" .. #childcare #cdnpoli
Stephen Harper put the final nail in the coffin of universal childcare .. "When the Liberals lost the election in January 2006, the Harper govt cancelled the bilateral agreements, making the Foundations Program another close-but-no-cigar for Canadian child care." .. #cdnpoli

Canada’s billionaires have grown richer during the pandemic, and calls for a wealth tax are getting louder thestar.com/news/gta/2021/… via @TorontoStar #Canada #WealthTax #inequality #cdnpoli #cdnecon
"A one-time wealth tax won’t enable govts to make sustainable investments in major public projects, such as fighting climate change. It’s only an annual wealth tax that can bend down that curve of rising billionaire wealth & raise revenues for the long term." .. #cdnpoli #cdnecon
"For the super rich during this pandemic, their wealth has been more like a propeller, lifting them to even greater heights. Since March 2020, Canada’s billionaires, of which there are about 4 dozen, have collectively increased their wealth by more than $78B." #WealthTax #cdnpoli

The crisis in Ontario evolved from the Ford govt's "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude .. tvo.org/article/most-o… #Ontario #COVID19 #onpoli @fordnation #onhealth
It started with this way back in May: You and I were supposed to stay home, but it was OK for Doug to travel to his cottage: “Please, this long weekend, do not go to your cottage. We can’t stress that enough" .. globalnews.ca/news/6919518/c… via @globalnews #DoAsISayNotAsIDo #onpoli
Then there was Mother's Day: Doug told you & me that we were only supposed to visit with 'immediate family', but it was OK for him to spend the day with his four daughters, two of whom do not reside with him .. cp24.to/sO8B4dP #DoAsISayNotAsIDo #COVID19 #Ontario #onpoli

"Neoliberalism sees competition as the defining characteristic of human relations. It redefines citizens as consumers, whose democratic choices are best exercised by buying & selling. . . Attempts to limit competition are treated as attacks on liberty." 1/ .. #cdnpoli #cdnecon
"In the opinion of neoliberals, tax & regulation should be minimized, public services privatized. Unions & collective bargaining are market distortions that impede the natural hierarchy of winners & losers. Inequality is recast a reward for generators of wealth" #cdnpoli #cdnecon
Ed Finn: "Neoliberals view efforts to create a more equal society as both counterproductive & morally corrosive. The market (left free and unregulated) ensures that everyone gets what they deserve." 3/ .. behindthenumbers.ca/2016/05/11/wha… #cdnpoli #cdnecon
