"Ontario's members of provincial parliament will get an extra long break from the legislature this summer, as it takes a 21-week recess. The extended break comes after the legislature sat for 30 days, following a 14-week winter break."

Does that sound right to you? WTF are elected officials sitting in constituency offices instead of at Queen's Park?

I cannot wait to get rid of Doug Ford. He does NOTHING for the people and only shows up to do things for big business.

I am conflicted by today's news that #corrupt #premiere #DougFord and #queenspark are going on break for TWENTY-ONE WEEKs.

On one hand, 21 weeks. That's a pretty good vacation. And you voted yourselves a pay raise not a year or two ago? Fuck you #OPC and Douggie.

On the other hand, if they're not sitting they can't be actively fucking up my province. And all this time not actively ruining the province can be spent actively grifting more money in secret corrupt ways that we will now never find out about because all the records are sealed from the public... forever.

But no, please go on about McGuinty's fucking gas plant emails being horrendous crime. #ontario #onpoli

Ontario, why are we willing to accept this?!? #onpoli

@ONDPPressOffice: NDP: Ford heads into summer after a 30-day legislative session

One of the characteristics of the current right in politics is a hatred of the idea of common wealth — the things and services that citizens own and collectively benefit from. E.g. I may not be able to afford a big lawn for my kids, but collectively we have beautiful parks where all the kids can play.

Here in Ontario, Doug Ford seems really focused on identifying any public wealth we have and finding a way (ethical or not) to convert it to private wealth for his cronies and donors. He’s done it with the Greenbelt, Ontario Place, the Science Centre, and now he’s doing it to the Toronto Island as well as eating away at our public health system. We’ve been able to push him back a couple of times because he still wants to be liked, but he really does seem to be getting worse.

I think it might be a good thing to put people in the mindset of thinking of their wealth as a combination of ‘what I own’ plus ‘what we own together’.

I wonder if politician like Ford were the kids who never learned to share?
