Purdy's is a Vancouver-based chocolatier of top quality chocolates. Years ago, I wrote a story about their business for a local paper, and the President sent me a box of Purdy's chocolates, and I was hooked! Because of the buy-Canadian movement they are now expanding outside of their retail stores!

Ontario Place update: Ontario taxpayers will be paying $400 million for a parking garage promised to a shady company with ties to Ford's family business. And taxpayers will pay again to park in it. That's where the $60 million in revenue will come from. Your wallets.

2 problem coyotes in downtown Toronto have been euthanized, city says | CBC News Coyote attacks have been raising safety concerns in the Fort York, Liberty Village area since the fall, but city officials have been reluctant to resort to killing the animals.

A mating pair of coyotes were euthanized by
the City of Toronto because they were hunting dogs to feed a family. Their habitat was destroyed so the province could build a mega spa that nobody wants.
What happened to the pups in the den? Are they being left to starve?

How many birds' nests did they destroy? Likely Screech owl mothers sitting on eggs now have to abandon their nests, if they are still alive after the trees were cut. Why do people keep voting this government into power?

Mature trees cut at Burlington’s Millcroft Golf Course; city launches investigation Ontario Construction News staff writer Several mature trees were cut down at the Millcroft Golf Course in Burlington, just days after more than 500 residents gathered for a peaceful rally opposing redevelopment of the site β€” prompting the City of Burlington to launch an investigation into the activity. The April 26 rally by the community group Millcroft Against Bad Development (MAD), was meant to urge provincial intervention in a controversial redevelopment project that would replace portions of the golf course with new housing. Days later, videos emerged online showing large machinery clearing trees from the 16th hole, sparking concern and

The Ford government is handing $2.2 billion and a 95 year lease of public land to a company caught lying to the government.

So, Premier: will you cancel this boondoggle, or go down in history as the mark in Canada’s most expensive scam?
