We couldnât have said it better ourselves: do whatâs right, not whatâs easy @SylviaJonesMPP.
Cancer patients deserve every possible chance at treatment that could save their lives. Every excuse for denying that chance raises serious questions about this governmentâs priorities.

The 48-year-old woman who helped two boys badly beat a 59-year-old cadet supervisor has been identified in a breaking story by reporter Ling Hui of the Toronto Sun. The name of the woman is Estela Quintanilla of Hamilton.
The altercation arose when a 12-year-old male and his 11-year-old male friend assaulted two cadets who were handing out poppies for Remembrance Day with an air horn.
The cadets told their supervisor what had happened and he followed the aggressors into a restaurant to talk to them.
Quintanilla, who was a bystander, intervened in the discussion by pushing the victim to the ground, whereupon the twelve-year-old male stomped on the victim's head.
The cadet supervisor is badly injured. Hamilton Police have described the injuries as, "Life altering," which seems to be the new substitute for life threatening.
The eleven-year-old wasn't charged for his part in it. Our legal system seems to be hell-bent on facilitating violent offenders.
This Remembrance Day, remember all of the Canadian men who fought and died so that the rest of us could life in an anarcho-tyranny.

A governmentâs budget shows you what it values.
Doug Ford has found money for a billion-dollar early booze rollout, private career college spending, Ontario Place, and other costly choices.
Meanwhile, people are still waiting for the services and support they actually need.
Thatâs the problem with this Fall Economic Statement: the priorities are still backwards.

Hallway medicine, EMS stretcher medicine, and chair medicine remains a serious problem in Ontario ERs. Premier Ford promised to eliminate it. Instead it exploded under his leadership. Hospital underfunding remains a serious problem. By @AidanChamandy

Sophomore album âKunlĂ© â The Journeyâ is deeply personal and built upon reflections collected over many years on his self-discovery journey. âĂjĂ â Whirlwindâ is a big opening number, using strings, keys, and layered vocals to elevate a global roots sound to an orchestral level.
Laurie Lockhart retweeted
As a singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, KunlĂ© infuses folk and roots music with traditional instrumentation and storytelling from West Africa to create a global folk sound. His celebrated warm live performances have seen him perform with Töme, AHI, and Shakura SâAida.

Nurses fired. Students losing OSAP. Schools crumbling. People struggling to survive.
But don't worry! Doug Ford just broke another record, spending $117 MILLION of your money on government ads telling you how he's "Protecting Ontario."
Ford couldn't be more out of touch. #onpoli

NEW: The Ford government has broken its own record for ad spending.
Internal documents show its advertising bill climbed to more than $117 million last year, according to internal documents â the highest total in a single year in Ontarioâs history.

The end of municipal democracy in Ontario.
Ford appoints his cronie as Chair of Muskoka Region.
Ford has stripped the people of Muskoka, Peel, York, Halton, Niagara, Durham, Waterloo, and Simcoe County of the right to elect a Regional Council Chair in next week's election.
Instead, he will appoint the Chairsâwho will be able to force through decisions even if 2/3rds of elected Councillors vote against them.
#onpoli
NEW: The Ford government is expected to name Conservative MP Scott Aitchison as Muskokaâs first âstrong chair,â @readpolicorner has learned.
Aitchison announced late last month that he would leave federal politics to âexplore new opportunities.â

And now it is even worse in rockcliffe Smythe. The so called flooding mitigation plan will make flooding worse west of Jane according to the Cityâs own documents. Over 600 trees removed and more soon. What the heck @FrancesNunziata? @MayorOliviaChow
#WalkingTheCity I am convinced that #InfrastructureCreatesCulture. Tory & Council have failed suburbs. Today I rode Jane by Steeles, Finch, Wilson, Church, Lawrence, Eglinton, St Clair, Dundas. Shame on elected officials whoâve done terrible public spaces & even worse maintenance
