@robertbenzie @MooreintheAM @NEWSTALK1010 @sunirachaudhri It was great to join you all this morning. We’re never short of interesting news stories these days. I was dying to comment on the MPP charged just to say I find it a tad ironic that Premier doesn’t want to interfere in investigation by commenting. Didn’t stop him before 🫤

@mattybing Oh crap there’s gonna be a mess to wipe up

Just spotted some POO’s on the street. (Did ANYONE workshop this?)

Timely discussion on Thursday with mayors on both sides of the border. How are they coping with the current climate of economic uncertainty? All are welcome to register us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Can Olivia Chow Turn It Around? The missteps are piling up. Pool closures are just the latest. Blame games. Delayed responses. Is it too late for Mayor Chow to rewrite her narrative before election season kicks off? @AMAprmaven @BobReidToronto podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/now…

The New York Times is reporting Therme Canada allegedly misrepresented itself to get Ontario Place. Remember, Premier Ford added Ontario Science Centre to Therme Canada to sweeten a bad deal. Read the full article on the Save OSC website: savesciencecentre.com/false_claims

Following the closure of SRCHC’s consumption and treatment service (CTS) keepSIX, if you see a potential overdose it’s an emergency. Use Naloxone if you have it and call 911. Make sure you contact the right number for the help you need bit.ly/4aqlsqF

Transparency phobic

Great conversation. Insightful stuff @shelleycarroll

Two former Ford government staffers — including a central figure in the Greenbelt scandal — are being accused of fraud in a lawsuit that alleges they were paid to use “their backchannel contacts and political connections” to get land rezoned for development, but did not follow through on the deal.

Misinformation was spreading as fast as the LA wildfires causing confusion & additional work for first responders & communicators. A new strategy is needed in this new world of AI & manipulative billionaires curiouspublic.com/2025/managing-…
