Rubicon is owned by Kory Teneycke, the premierโ€™s campaign manager.โ€

Now waiting for Doug to say heโ€™s not a micromanager and has never met his campaign manager.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Iโ€™ve predicted a lot of things. I told everyone about Bin Laden in 2000. Bad fella. Tried to warn everyone. I even went over to Pete Hegsethโ€™s college dorm room and told him. He can verify that. Very verifiable. Before that, I predicted Fonzie would jump that shark. Big jump. I like mashed potatoes.

The speed at which we normalized groceries being ludicrously expensive is so demoralizing.

Our Conservative Premier here in Ontario often reminds people he and his government work 24/7 - 365 days a year. So the precedent's certainly been set.

Vehicles registered to Ford cabinet ministers caught by speed cameras more than 20 times | Globalnews.ca Documents obtained by Global News reveal that, over three years, vehicles registered to Fordโ€™s cabinet minister received more than $3,300 in fines for speeding.

To be fair, who among us hasn't been caught doing 70 in a 40 when we were running a little late for a ribbon cutting at a new private healthcare clinic or to pick up a bag of donations from real estate developers?

In all seriousness, I suspect Doug's opposition to photo radar is more a matter from the Toronto Police Association complaining that speed control automation is freeing up way too much time for police to do community outreach and crime prevention stuff.

Break it and then shut it down because it's broken. It's the Conservative way.

I'm confused. If half the police force is tied up acting like crossing guards at construction sites (which I do not doubt - I lived in downtown TO for a long time) - how are they also going to be doing radar patrol in school zones?

I believe this is commonly known as a fire sale.

Photo radar in safety zones. Don't speed. I don't see how this is contentious.
