Even though the Staples deal was revealed to Ontarians just a few days ago, some stores are already renovated.
"This is what the ServiceOntario outlet looks like inside an #Oakville Staples. It’s located in between a display of printers and office chairs, and located at the back of the store meaning you have to pass all the merchandise. Taxpayers funded this."

Liar. Coward.

DANA BASH: How do you feel about your party's frontrunner being found liable for sexual abuse?

#NikkiHaley: First of all, I haven't paid attention to his cases. All I know is he's innocent until proven guilty. You have investigations on #Trump and #Biden.

Multiple state Republican parties are going broke. In #Arizona, for instance, the state GOP has $14,800 left in the bank. https://www.newsweek.com/multiple-state-republican-parties-going-broke-1858680

Every panel of this one is beyond genius, starting with how #Trump looks pre-hair/makeup.

I was once in a pretty dark place. Specifically, a truck stop bathroom stall with two light panels on the fritz, somewhere near Chaco Canyon. I had eaten Taco Bell about 160 miles back y no estaba bien.

Much too late, I realized there was no T.P.

... So I wept in that stinking stall, as one does in these situations when times are bleak.

"You alright, friend?" came a silky-rich voice. Then a hand poked a roll of toilet paper under the stall door.

That hand belonged to #JohnMastodon

How often have you literally shrieked out loud in sheer frustration that our entire society is locked in this decade long idiocratic war on reason, decency, women, and the rule of law, that the Republican party has been waging against America?

more ableist nonsense from our national airline:

Air Canada is appealing an order by the Canadian transport regulator requiring it to accommodate passengers whose power wheelchairs don't fit through the cargo door of a scheduled plane: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/air-canada-appeal-1.7080959 #AirCanada #aviation #ableism

"Nothing good happens when you bend the rules for Trump. We saw that play out, again, in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday.

It’s time for the courts to show that they are up to the task of treating Trump like they would treat anyone else."

Once again this whole transaction stinks. Privatization doesn't save money and usually results in less service. Staples likely demanded higher transaction fees AND the right to monetize Service Ontario traffic by being able to market to anyone who uses the service. Staples probably put a flashy colourful slideshow together and "gee golly" .....

Ford is selling Ontario, a little bit at a time, and doesn't have a clue about the impact.

Q: It was reported today that Ford will spend taxpayer dollars to retrofit Staples stores. How much will be spent? What expenses will qualify? Who will oversee these costs?

Q: Will Staples be required to separate and secure Service Ontario data from their corporate systems?

Q: Will this contract be made public? A privatization of government services of this importance should be scrutinized down to the last detail.

Q: Will Staples employees have access to private data?

From Xitter from Eric_OTooleMP:

BREAKING: John Lederer, Executive Chairman of Staples donated money to Ford's Leadership Campaign and to the PCPO to help get Ford elected.

Now, his company gets an exclusive deal to take over Service Ontario Locations.

The absolute gall of this question. A required question, mind you.

I will likely not be getting called in for an interview, but it was totally worth it.

They hate her so much. Why?

Donations aren't what they seem
