Why does Ontario’s solicitor general, Michael Kerzner, have an Israeli flag in his office?
Is it because he's a foreign asset? Is he an operative of the Israel Lobby? Or is he a member of Israel's fifth column?

#DougFord 's new Ontario Science Centre beside the Therme Spa at #OntarioPlace is going to be so "good" that it won't need any scientists at all. So all of the OSC scientists will lose their jobs.
While we have to deal with the Trump's outside our borders, we also have Trumps at home to fight.

If you're going to b*tch about the noise from the #airshow but still vote for #DougFord & his Conservative lackey MPPs, then you're a hypocrite. If a once a year show bothers you, but constant jet traffic at #BillyBishop won't, you can STFU with your complaints.

Peterborough hospital gets a 1.8% funding increase. Its costs are going up over 6% a year. The Ford government is hacking away at vital acute hospital services despite its promises to end hallway healthcare and clear the surgical wait lists.

"Trump is an easy target, a man who is little more than a cartoon villain. The tougher task for Ford is getting super-popular Carney to stand up for Ontario. Carney is being hailed as a hero for not giving the Americans everything they want, but the deal he was reportedly prepared to accept would have been a serious blow to Canada’s largest province."

:blobcheerbounce: "Perdedor", "dictador", "rey de las quiebras", esas fueron algunas de las palabras que el primer ministro de Ontario, Doug Ford, utilizó para describir al presidente estadounidense Donald Trump el lunes (24 de agosto), en el marco de una guerra de palabras en medio de una creciente disputa sobre los aranceles estadounidenses.
Anteriormente, Trump había criticado a Ford, calificándolo como "el hermano menos carismático, inteligente y, en general, poco impresionante" del fallecido exalcalde de Toronto, Rob Ford , al tiempo que acusaba a Canadá de aprovecharse de Estados Unidos.

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT INTRODUCES BILL 33, CONCERNS RAISED
On May 29, the Ontario government introduced Bill 33 to legislation.
The Bill offers more power to the premier’s office over school boards while tightening oversight of children’s aid societies, colleges and universities.
The Supporting Children and Students Act, 2025, Bill 33, would amend four major laws—including the Education Act and the Child, Youth and Family Services Act.
First, Bill 33 introduces new administrative and fiscal oversight measures for children’s aid societies, such as providing information about the Ombudsman to children and youth, reviewing by-laws and making them available to the public, obtaining ministerial approval for financial decisions that impact approved budgets, and expanding the definition of “institution” to include maternity homes.
It also makes changes to the residing Education Act, where there will be more ministerial oversight and new cooperation requirements for Ontario school boards, with requirements such as: submitting to increased ministerial authority, where the education minister has more supremacy to investigate school boards, issue binding directives to the public and establish guidelines on board expenses.
Other requirements include obtaining ministerial approval for the name of a new school or changing the name of an existing school, collaborating with police services on school programming, and implementing internal audits conducted by the ministry to enhance financial accountability.
Scott Miller, director of education for the Waterloo Region District School Board, said the board will continue to work with local police and the community if the legislation passes.
“The Waterloo Region District School Board [WRDSB] prioritizes safe, inclusive and welcoming learning environments for all students,” Miller said. “As a school board, we work closely with the Waterloo Regional Police Service [WRPS] to support the safety and well-being of WRDSB school communities. Bill 33 is still under review but if the bill is passed, we will continue to engage thoughtfully with our community partners, staff, students, parents and families to ensure decisions reflect the needs and values of WRDSB school communities.”
Beyond K-12 schools, the bill also targets Ontario’s colleges and universities.
The Bill amends the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities Act, focusing on admissions practices, research security and fee regulations. They plan to implement publicly accessible, merit-based admission standards, with details to be defined through regulation, develop and implement research security plans to safeguard and mitigate the risk of harm to or interference with research activities, and comply with government regulations regarding ancillary student fees, which may restrict fee structures and affect funding for student services.
The Ministry of Colleges and Universities also received a new name: the Ministry of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security. This change, along with the new requirements for colleges and universities to develop and implement research security plans, reflects heightened governmental focus on research security.
“At this point, the university, along with our Ontario post-secondary education peers, is closely monitoring the legislative discussion of the proposed Bill 33 and its potential impacts on universities,” Aonghus Kealy, Communications and Media Relations Officer at Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) said.
Bruce Gillespie, President of the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA), emphasized that there are more risks involved in this bill than benefits.
“It centralizes control over admissions, enables ministerial directives for research security, and broadens authority over student fees,” Gillespie said. “Universities already publish admission standards and safeguard research; layering new directives and fee controls adds red tape and cost without fixing chronic underfunding.”
He added that the bill will burden staff and students at post-secondary institutions such as WLU.
“It increases compliance workload and puts student-funded services at risk, while the real issue-operating funding—goes unaddressed,” Gillespie said.
He also explains that if provincial rules destabilize student-funded services (from peer supports to transit and campus media), the unmet need doesn’t disappear; it shows up in classrooms and office hours. Faculty across ranks, and especially contract faculty, will end up doing more informal advising, crisis triage and support with fewer resources.
Gillespie said he opposed the bill, arguing it undermines the autonomy of admissions and fees, risks weakening equity initiatives, and expands oversight that bypasses normal scrutiny, without improving teaching, research, or student supports. He hopes that Bill 33 will either remove or substantially amend the bill to protect equity-based admissions in statute, avoid fee controls that destabilize student services, and provide transparent, consultative research-security guidance.
“On governance, the province should explicitly preserve Senate authority over academic matters and commit to meaningful consultation with students, not just anonymous surveys,” Gillespie said.
As Bill 33 moves through legislative debate, its impact on Ontario’s education and child welfare systems remains a central concern for educators, administrators and policymakers alike.

This is not just an Ontario problem.
This is a Canada problem.
This is a global problem.
Why does the "buck stop" with the premier? (As an aside, I find it wildly hilarious in an ironic sense that he used that phrase.)
This ought to be an issue discussed on the national level, too, because it sure as heck could impact all of Canada.

Ford, you think you can import food? Think again.
"... key agricultural areas in North America, Eastern Europe and East Asia could see crop yields fall by up to seven percent."
"Canada is the fifth largest food exporter in the world, but also the sixth largest food importer. In particular, we heavily rely on imports of fresh fruits and vegetables."

Meanwhile, Quebec farmers have been losing crops to /too/ much rain. Hundreds of acres of broccoli destroyed by hail and rain. "The province says so far this year it’s received 2,466 reports of weather-related damage to fruits, vegetable and cereal farms. Ten years ago over the same period, there were 1,795 reports."

Ford, if you think Ontario can simply bring in food from other provinces, think again.
There are agricultural disasters across the province in Alberta. Drought plus short growing season plus robust grasshopper populations means low yields.

And when there's a food crisis? Are you going to knock down housing? You needed to get this right /now/. In case you don't know, cause your head is stuck in your wallet, agriculture's in trouble. Yields are taking a hit from climate change.
The last thing we should be doing is pulling agricultural land.
You need to leave. You are failing to serve the public.

"As the premier, the buck (mine: HA!) stops with me and I take full responsibility for the need for a better process".
The auditor general found ample land without Greenbelt development.
Ford, you /knew/ there was a better process BEFORE you started.
If you didn't know, you failed to do your due diligence.
Either way, shoddy decision making. Shame on you.

Shame on you, the De Gasperis family, particularly Silvio De Gasperis. You're short-sighted, foolish, and think only of your own self.
Shame on you, Michael Rice, owner of the Rice Group. You, too, are ok with all this for a profit.
