Doug Ford using a Christian holiday to preach “compassion, humility and hope” is peak hypocrisy. You’ve gutted Ontario’s public healthcare. You’ve gutted Ontario’s public education. You’ve slashed OSAP, leaving students with more debt and less hope for the future. How do you expect Ontarians to feel hope when your policies are taking it away? Compassion isn’t a holiday message. It’s how you govern.

Highway 413 will pave over thousands of acres of prime Ontario farmland—all to save drivers 30 seconds. I spoke with Dean Orr, a young farmer and planning student whose farm is at risk, about what this highway means for his family's business.

We had a teenager die after waiting 8 hours to see an ER doctor. ERs have 55 waiting to be seen. ER patients wait 10 hours or more to see a doctor. Hallway medicine has never been worse. The Premier promised in 2018 to end hallway healthcare. How is this a bigger priority.

Not all therapy is equal. If you've been in therapy for years and feel like you're paying for an expensive friendship where you mostly talk about your feelings and leave unchanged, that's worth examining. The therapies that actually move the needle teach you concrete skills. DBT for emotional regulation. ACT for chronic pain and depression. CPT and prolonged exposure for trauma. ERP for OCD. These are structured, researched, and usually covered by insurance. If your therapy isn't giving you homework and building real skills, it may be time to find a different approach.
