A record 49 women were elected in B.C., the first time in the province’s history the legislature will have more women than men. There are 29 BIPOC MLAs elected as well. #bcpoli

On this day in 1986, Canadian author Robert Munsch released his book Love You Forever.
One of the most successful children's books ever written, it is beloved by generations of Canadians and others worldwide.
Let's learn more about it (and try not to cry)!

There is something seriously ugly about your spirit and heart if you are sitting online today negotiating a history you were lucky enough to not be impacted by.

Also: the Liberals kept First Past the Post
They are the ONLY party that gets blame for the next Conservative majority government
Not the Greens NDP or Bloc
The Liberals.
David Moscrop@David_Moscrop
PSA: If the Conservatives win the next election, that outcome lies with the Liberal Party, which has been in government for a decade. Don't let partisans tell you this is on anyone else.

I've seen this floating around this website today, so let's be clear:
- Jake Skinner resigned from TVDSB (in disgrace!) in 2021
- His London West PC candidacy was rejected by Doug Ford, so, not sure they're best buddies

@NeedlesOnNews Trustee Jake Skinner is in bed with Ford. He runs the consulting firm that scams elections.
English
@NeedlesOnNews Agreed! Just one of my favourite/least favourite pieces of London political trivia 🤦♀️
English
@MarieRioux It's relevant to Ford, but not to TVDSB, I don't think.
English
@NeedlesOnNews I don’t know if it means much connection nowadays but fwiw the third partner at Blackridge was Patrick Sackville, who’s now Doug Ford’s chief of staff
English
- His consulting firm DID break municipal campaigning rules in 2018. That part is true.
But, it didn't really have anything to do with Doug Ford.
English
@NeedlesOnNews You’d think a sitting councillor would be aware that public city facilities (including parks) aren’t permitted for these types of blatant partisan events 🙃
English
@eyeonthefly Please feel free to remind them of this list of hundreds of identified derelict and abandoned properties that @lifespinorg sent them years ago - since they seem to have so much time to worry about this 🙃

@NeedlesOnNews @Forward2022 And that’s your right, but to OP’s point, it’s exactly the argument that was used to justify airing climate change denialism for decades.
English
@MarieRioux @Forward2022 The people reaching out to me (and Dr. Koivu, no less) are seeing the downsides.
Do the pros outweigh the cons? Yeah, maybe. Definitely possible.
I think examination of that is worth a podcast though.
English
Are we talking 50/50 split by true experts in the field. 50/50 where the experts say one thing and the pseudo experts who know just enough to be dangerous say the other. Or 99/1 like climate change where people that don’t want to accept the experts say it’s not settled science?
Craig Needles@NeedlesOnNews
So, whether you like Joseph's tweet or not, there is a legitimate and significant schism in the medical community here and I think that's worthy of a conversation on a podcast.
English
@NeedlesOnNews @Forward2022 The same can be said for gender affirming care. Inevitably the most up to date information won’t have made its way to the entire profession. Of experts on the specific topic at hand it’s much closer to a consensus and making it seem otherwise is frankly pretty dangerous.
English
@Forward2022 Not even close. Take a poll of hospital and family docs. See how you do.

We need to shut this shit down and get back to funding accessible public healthcare for all.

My latest @TorontoStar: Rent controls don’t reduce housing supply, but they do limit profit.

Today your @OntarioNDP team introduced legislation to protect consumers from NOSIs (Notice of Security Interest), a predatory practice often used in HVAC scams.
It is time to end the disgraceful practice of HVAC scams that target and victimize vulnerable seniors. #onpoli
