Economists: You know, the federal government isn’t really a business, so it doesn’t make sense to liken it to one when talking about budgets and deficits.
McCarthy: Okay, what if I likened the government to children?

@Gordon1956 @gemelliz @Johny28 I saw it first hand during the election campaign. On election day, I went around canvassing for my MPP (not a Conservative) who did win her seat. But I was astounded at how many people a) were not inspired to vote, b) didn't know that day was election day, c) didn't know who they wanted to vote for, or d) didn't know there was an election. For those in category c), I told them that the most important thing is to show up.

"Ford's plans to privatize Ontario’s public hospital surgeries are a fatal threat and a terrible blow to our public hospitals.
Large public hospitals across #Ontario have operating rooms that are closed for weeks, months or even permanently due to lack of funding & staffing. Ford gov't is posing privatization as if it's a “solution” after helping to create the crisis. Last year, the Ford gov't underspent on health care by
ONE BILLION DOLLARS.

It's not whether it's possible to save our future. It is. The question is do we want to. That's what remains to be seen. Less about climate science or technology & more about sociology & unfortunately politics, with an economic system that rewards apathy & making things worse.

A reminder that former Ontario #Conservative Premier Mike Harris is raking in profits off both Seniors Long Term Care residences and from his wife’s company 'Nurse Next Door', an agency supplying temporary, low paid, no benefit nursing and PSW support workers to LTC and hospitals.
The for-profit nursing agency charges the govt a higher fee to provide healthcare workers than the govt would pay out in wages for hospital-employed staff.

If Elon Musk can afford to lose $200 billion in a single year, he can afford a wealth tax.

The fact that the Ontario government watched our public healthcare system collapse due to underfunding...but set aside public funding just so they could invest in private for-profit healthcare…tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.

They say of carbon capture and storage "The technology exists", but it doesn't, and won't, exist at anything remotely approaching the scale of the task to be done. The pretence and wishful thinking involved in CCS promotion will be our undoing. We really do have to stop burning carbon and go #FlameFree to mitigate the #ClimateCrisis.
