Clouds & sunny periods, breezy & very warm today - some places reach 20C if we see bonus sunshine; Periods of rain & t-storms tonight & Tuesday - risk that a chilly east wind sabotages temps near Lake Ont.; Cooler Wed; Rain Thurs. starts as freezing rain north & west of GTA #onwx

@lm_walker2000 @gjbangar @nationalpost Ok, then this country is going to have a constitutional crisis we've never seen and Liberals are the reason this will happen.

@spstarr @gjbangar @nationalpost No one is removing the notwithstanding clause despite how much you want to believe it. Look at the R v Oaks case where SCC established criteria around applying the reasonable limits clause (s.1). The SCC most certainly can interpret use of s.33 and create criteria to apply it.

@rich_toronto Canada will become Argentina 2.0 where we forcefully squander all of our natural resources as the Liberals absorb the NDP fully, become fully left-wing, force everyone to EV cars, etc. That's what will happen, if the Liberals win forever, inflation will rise, debt, its the future

Canada may never have another Conservative government again. No, I’m not black pilling it. Everything is lining up to for the Conservatives to never win another Federal election, at least for the foreseeable future. Right now, people are so frustrated and fed up with Canada, they’re leaving. The ones leaving aren’t the ones who vote Liberal. They’re the Conservatives who are tired of watching the Liberals absolutely destroy Canada. Add to that the floods of people that the Liberals are bringing into Canada. Sorry. Not people. Liberal voters. This will help ensure the Liberals win elections for many terms to come. This is what I predict the future of Canada will be. Endless Liberal governments until they are so successful at destroying us through immigration, that a Muslim Party is formed and they win a majority government, thus paving the way to sharia law in Canada. This isn’t just a possible outcome for Canada, it’s a probable one. Look around. You’ll see the signs. This is exactly what is being planned. And the Liberals are making it happen.

@The_Commish1967 @CP24 The Liberals didn't have a certain figure south of border causing chaos. They did have stupid ideas that thankfully most never came to pass, the "Let's build more above ground transit in Toronto but it breaks down when a little snow falls or it's -20C outside". Yeah, no thanks

@CP24 And all my hardcore Conservative friends who bashed Ontario Liberals on this are awfully quiet / not chirpin about this at all ! Lol

@PMacc94 @stevia456 @CP24 @fordnation You're kidding right, the Liberals would build more LRTs that break down, costing even more... Yeah no thanks. Ford isn't as bad as the Liberal years Ontario suffered.

@stevia456 @CP24 The Liberals were in power, @fordnation is way worse. That's an impressively dense statement.

@lm_walker2000 @gjbangar @nationalpost No that's NOT how things go, you need a constitutional amendment, to add or remove things from this part of the Constitution. The SCC can't interpret something that doesn't give it that power in case of Section 33.

@gjbangar @nationalpost The worst part about this foolish comment is you believe what you wrote to be true. 🙄 SCC doesn’t have to amend anything; they get to interpret legal meaning and preemptively using the notwithstanding clause was not its legal intent, so guardrails are possible.

@Dominos_UK Have no pizza.

Mostly cloudy & cold today - wet flurries this afternoon; Trace - 1cm on grass but not an issue for roads; Sunny Tuesday AM, becoming cloudy PM - brisk wind & near seasonal; Cloudy & peeks of sun Wed.; Rain Thursday afternoon; Partly sunny & chilly Friday & Sat; Mild Sunday #onwx

Be warned, if Section 33 is modified changed, this country's unity is at stake. This wasn't the agreement in 1982, if you want to change have a referendum to do so #cdnpoli

@RealAlbanianPat I say let the #Liberals get a supermajority, rip this country to shreads, then the party will become the next "Progressive Conservative Party of Canada" wipeout. It's the only way we'll learn I guess.

First concept art for the ‘FIREFLY’ animated series. Now in development (without Joss Whedon). (Source: Deadline)

First promo for the animated 'Firefly' series just dropped They need fans to like their post on IG "to convince folks that this is something people want." (via IG | instagram.com/p/DV6Js56jT3F/)

@coreyhoganyyc That's how it's supposed to work, except when everyone focuses on the party leader, like #Liberal talking points on how 'PP' is so weak. A Government isn't the Prime Minister alone it is the cabinet. People corrupt this system trying to make the party leader like a President.

Aaron, we elect parliaments (not PMs) and people (not parties). The PM has the confidence of the House. I certainly don't want an election, nor do I think Canadians want one, nor do I think you actually want one. Let's stop with the "least democratic", "illegitimate" talk.

Windy & periods of rain today (mixed w/ ice & snow north of GTA); Flurries evening & overnight; Periods of snow (mostly light) this weekend; 5+cm possible but some melting during Saturday; Colder Sunday; Chilly early next week; Couple clippers (snow & mixed precip) mid week #onwx

@RogersHelps Unclear, I'm only going to know if things stop resetting later whenever they stop doing any maintanance on the power lines. Just don't want this to be a "new" issue that Rogers will have to fix due to the power company performing this.

@spstarr Hello there! We're not currently aware of any known issues in Thornhill. Did this issue just start today? If there is localized work being done on your power lines, then potential interruptions can be expected. ^ch

@RogersHelps im seeing my modem cycle periodically in Thornhill, maybe due to the power company cleaning their distribution lines, are you having reports also? It's cycled 5 times so far but my signal is good for upstream/downstream...

@Reka_Niewidka @FoodProfessor In Canada, snack-size, single-serving, or,pre-packaged snacks (chips, candy, granola bars, ice cream < 500ml) are generally subject to 5% GST or 13-15% HST, as they are not considered "basic groceries". Temporary federal tax break GST/HST since Dec 14, 2024 to Feb 15 2025...

@FoodProfessor Most groceries already have 0% GST. Industrial carbon pricing adds well under 1% to food costs. And interprovincial barriers don’t disappear overnight. But sure — scrap everything and hope grocery prices magically fall.

"To bring down the cost of food quickly, Ottawa could eliminate the GST on all food items, scrap the industrial carbon tax, and work with the provinces to remove interprovincial trade barriers to boost competition. Those measures alone would make a meaningful difference."

Mostly cloudy today & brisk east wind this afternoon; Periods of rain develop Friday AM - mix of rain, ice & wet snow changing to wet snow north of 401/407; Periods of rain elsewhere changes to wet snow late day; Flurries Sat.; Periods of snow Sunday; Colder early next week #onwx

@alectranews Do you have a realistic end point for finishing cleaning the power distribution lines? I am expecting new appliances within 2 weeks and would rather not have them fail due to power fluctations. I've had two flickers today so I know you're doing that work now.
