A few winters ago, I fell on black ice and got a concussion. It took me over a year and a half to recover. So I am all in on fall prevention.

A summer to remember as tourism numbers hit all-time high | CBC News Canada’s tourism sector generated a record-breaking amount of revenue of between May and August, reaching $59 billion, a six per cent increase compared to the same period last year.

Well done Canada! Elbows Up!

"Most of the revenue was the result of Canadians choosing to spend their travel dollars within the country, as domestic tourism was up seven per cent."

Trump ends Canada access at shared border library In a picturesque town on the U.S.-Canada border, workers under dark clouds were building a new entrance for Canadians into a library to replace one that had long symbolized bilateral closeness.

Say goodbye to rent control, indefinite leases if Ontario passes new housing bill: advocates | CBC News Ontario's planned new housing legislation could open the door to ending rent control and indefinite leases across the province, advocates warn after a recent proposal by Premier Doug Ford's government...

This is devastating news for so many, especially people on a limited income such as retirees or persons with disabilities.

Conservative Premier Doug Ford demonstrates, once again, that the Conservative Party does not care about anybody but the wealthy. #Resist

Yes it's true and it's Conservative Party Ontario Premier Doug Ford's fault. He ran an ad featuring Ronald Reagan's (verified true) comments on tariffs. It begs the question as to just what his motivation was for running the ad. I tend to agree with Angry's assessment. F**ks over Canada though.
