Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

[Northern Light]

We never did do a thread for the project below; but today the Ford gov't held a presser to celebrate its new geriatric prison ahem, long-term care home in Ajax reaching substantial completion....

From the Hospital's January newsletter on the project:

This is at Clements and Harwood btw.

Provincial Press release is here: https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1001509/ontario-celebrates-new-long-term-care-home-in-ajax

Will Doug be there to greet them? Will he be at the cottage?

Likely Doug will be busy shovelling.

One wonders (perhaps not too deeply) if the organizers have the permission of these private property owners to use their property as muster points.

Best as I can tell, 'Phat Car Meets' is an 'auto enthusiast' club, somehow linked to a line of clothing.

AND....... Vaughn spells it out
Didn't Lecce's team endorse that spelling too?

I’m glad they are aware given that it has been all over social media

It will be an interesting weekend across the city. Unfortunately Toronto is full of intolerant people.

I'm concerned this may blow up into something stupid.

 

[PinkLucy]

It has been something stupid since it started so

Agreed but I was thinking more along the lines of the G20.

Apparently the Ford government is mulling some sort of portable benefits program that would offer prescription/dental etc. to gig and part-time workers who don't currently receive coverage through
their employers.

The mused about idea, which isn't given a specific timeline or cost in the article below, also doesn't seem to say much about full-time workers who don't receive such benefits or the unemployed who may not be on
social assistance.

Apparently the Ministry will appoint a 5-person panel to further study the idea this spring. (hmmm, do nothing til after an election??)

We all want to know where he is! The coward of the cottage saw his shadow on groundhog day and was too scared to come out #FreedomConvoy2022
