@spittinchiclets @stphnmaher Love Buffalo. All class. Go Sabres!

The mic cut out during O Canada, and the Buffalo crowd didn’t miss a beat 🇨🇦

@Sportsnet @JohnsonNeilG Amazing pre-game and they delivered a win!

CHILLS 🥹 The Blue Jays commemorate 50 seasons of memories 💙

With the release of Ontario’s 2026 Budget, the @OntPharmacists remains focused on working with government to strengthen pharmacy sustainability and improve access to care for Ontarians. Looking forward to advancing these priorities together at our Queen’s Park Day on April 1.

Thank you Premier Ford. Pharmacists are a vital part of Ontario’s health care system, helping people access convenient care closer to home. Great to see their work recognized by @fordnation during #PharmacyAppreciationMonth.

March is Pharmacy Appreciation Month. Across Ontario, pharmacists play a vital role in keeping our communities healthy, providing trusted care, advice and support to patients every day. Thank you to the pharmacists across our province for the incredible work you do!

The OPA appreciates the Government of Ontario's partnership to strengthen access to timely pharmacy care. We look forward to continuing this work together and to delivering additional minor ailments services through the next scope expansion package. #PharmacyAppreciationMonth

@ScottKinmartin Spot on.

After sitting with everything — my own thoughts, the press conference, the media reaction, and the fan response — I think a few things can all be true at once. This decision to move on from Sean McDermott wasn’t made in the locker room after the Denver game. The organization had been growing weary of coming up just short year after year and quietly questioning whether McDermott could break through that final wall. This season felt like a line in the sand: make the big show, or make a big change. That said, the press conference was a mistake. Not because the decision itself was necessarily wrong, but because the messaging failed. What should have been a moment of clarity and leadership instead created more questions. The tone felt defensive and emotional at times, and the lack of a clearly articulated vision is what fueled skepticism from the media and frustration from #BillsMafia. This wasn’t about football Xs and Os — it was about confidence and direction, and that didn’t come through. I also want to be clear about McDermott himself. I like him a lot. I think he’s a great leader of men, I think he evolved as a coach, and I honestly thought this was one of his best coaching seasons. Moving on doesn’t mean he failed — it means the situation may have hit a ceiling. At the same time, this offseason does offer real opportunity: a new head coach, the NFL Draft, free agency, and a fresh start tied to a new stadium. All of that can be a reset — if it’s handled correctly. That’s where the accountability now sits. Brandon Beane owns what comes next. If this hire, this roster build, and this transition don’t move the needle, then he’s the next man out the door — and that’s fair. As for ownership, the best thing moving forward may be stability and restraint. Let the football people lead, let the plan speak for itself, and keep the mic away for a while. The move itself may age better than the explanation — but now it’s time to prove there’s a real vision behind it.

Go Bills!

@OntPharmacists This is great news and the result of over a decade of @OntPharmacists advocacy to protect patient choice and create fairness for all pharmacies.

We applaud the Ontario government for moving forward with Any Willing Provider legislation. This is a significant step toward protecting patient choice and ensuring that all Ontarians can access care from the pharmacy they trust. By creating a fairer and more inclusive system, the government is helping to strengthen continuity of care, support small businesses, and uphold the high standards of pharmacy practice across the province.
