Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs. #Debate2024

@ShannonBDouglas @TurnbullWhitby It's not taxes that make your groceries cost more ... look at the skyrocketing grocery chain profits for the cause of higher prices.

@TurnbullWhitby Adjust those incomes for the invisible tax making groceries cost 30% more, “ie “Justin-flation” and your claim falls flat.
Canadians are taking home 20-30% less spending power thanks to you liberals.

"We couldn't believe that [the region] would spend the time and effort to do this at this point in time and not wait 6 weeks before it became viable crop or an additional couple months to make it into food products we all enjoy." #FightForFarmland #ONpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ki…

Interesting. Highway 413.
No design. No budget. No real timeline.
“Ontarians may well find that they suffer the environmental and financial costs of this poorly planned and rushed project without any benefits.” #onpoli
Emma McIntosh (same handle on the other app)@EmmaMci
A summertime scoop from me! The Ontario government says it’s starting to build Highway 413 next year. But its final design for the project isn’t done, and an internal document shows it has no timeline for finalizing it or finishing the build, which will take over a decade.

A good day. It was incredible to learn how insidious NOSIs had become in Ontario. #onpoli
Tom Rakocevic@RakocevicT
Today the Ontario NDP took action to ensure that NOSIs are banned. The passage of bill 200 will take over a billion dollars out of the hands of criminals and put an end to these lurking liens on property titles! #onpoli

Ontario: Where the beer store can become a convenience store in order to compete with mom & pop convenience stores that can now sell beer to compete with the Beer Store 👀
But why should this cost taxpayers so much ($225 million) and why is booze such a damn priority? #onpoli
Richard Southern@RichardCityNews
The Ford government is allowing the Beer Store to sell almost anything it wants. The Convenience Store Association isn’t particularly thrilled, neither are opposition leaders who wonder why the chain still neeeds taxpayer $. My story for CityNews at 5&6 toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/06/…

🎯 Since 2018, education funding is down $1,357 per student when accounting for inflation; a total of $2.7 billion overall.
💯 Today’s announcement only increases per-student funding by 1.9% this year, well below Budget 2024’s predicted inflation rate of 2.6% #onpoli

Here is the thing about capital gains.
It is income.
If the person swinging a hammer, or putting in an IV, or growing the food, or teaching your kids has to pay taxes on their full income, why again should millionaire investors not have to pay taxes on 75% of theirs?

Sincere thanks @kthomason for deputing on the “Get it Done Wrong Act” ;)
Expropriating 770 prime agricultural land for industrial purposes runs counter to everything WR stands for…and may compromise our future water supply. Democracy still matters in Ontario. #onpoli

Fun fact: When the Conservatives waived $500 MILLION in Developer's Fees, that $$$ is now paid by municipal tax payers (PS - That's YOU!).
As your property taxes rise and your municipal services decline, think about how Doug Ford makes YOU pay for HIS well-connected friends!

Perhaps if the Ford government focussed on what is best for Ontarians, he wouldn’t have to back out and repeal legislation #onpoli

Ford certainly has kept the courts busy since 2018.
One day...we will find out how much this govt spent on lawyers fighting the very people we are elected to serve. #onpoli #Bill124

NEW: Ontario Court of Appeal will on Monday release its ruling on the Ford government's Bill 124 wage cap legislation. A lower court found the bill infringed collective bargaining rights, and struck it down as unconstitutional, but the government appealed. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@DamatoRecord Is a mea culpa column on the way or because it's "just your opinion" you won't let the facts deter you?

“We needed a spa to make Ontario Place work, but then we needed parking to make the spa work, but then we needed to move the science centre to make the parking work, but then we needed to demolish the heritage building and fire a bunch of people to make the business case work…”

Now we know why they passed legislation to protect them from legal action. #onpoli

NEW: The auditor general says the Ford government failed to take account of all costs in its claim that moving the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place would save taxpayer money. 👇to read story👇#onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
