Pretty sure the greedy grocers who have made record profits are largely to blame

While we need to keep a weather eye focused on international trends, Ontario Canada's current covid risk level remains low. But the smart move remains the same too, get vaccinated for covid (and flu/RSV), the shots work to reduce illness severity.
Graphic from PHO:

Labour minister was in Leafs glass seats with director of company he granted funding to The ‘lower-scoring’ company got $7.5M of tax dollars through David Piccini’s office and is a client of the lobbyist whose Parisian wedding the minister recently attended

The Trillium is hammering this story.

"Months before he was put in charge of Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, cabinet minister David Piccini was at a Toronto Maple Leafs game in front-row seats with a director of a company his office would later give $7.5 million in taxpayer-funded grants to. #OnPoli

No reason for this to be happening in 2025. In my view, those who have helped promote vaccine hesitancy shoulder part of the blame. Measles is not safe for mothers or their babies. The vaccine is safe and it works. Fact.

Ontario will have a plan to get rid of school trustees by end of year: minister | CBC News Ontario's education minister says he'll have a plan by the end of the year to possibly eliminate trustees from school boards across the province.

More on his latest move. This takes the democratic power of parents and their school boards and puts it in the hands of Ford and his RW extremists. We see how Trump/MAGA is dismantling the US education system. Don't let Ontario slide down that sleazy slope. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We watch the steps to authoritarian RW govt in the US but we are not immune. In Ontario, Doug Ford is removing locally elected school boards and replacing them with his appointees. He has already been replacing members of the board responsible for judicial appointments with his partisan loyalists.

Reform UK’s “Britain is Lawless” campaign isn’t about making you safer.

It appears operatives are grossly expanding the candidate list in Poilievre's riding, in hopes that voters won't recognize Bruce Fanjoy's name on the ballot. Can those in Ottawa please help? Perhaps funds or help with signs or amplifying his name on social media? #canpoli #cdnpoli #BruceFanjoy

Yesss 💪🏻🍁
