I had a look at voter turnout in the last Toronto municipal election, where less that 30% of eligible voters bothered to show up.

With an open mayoral race in an upcoming by-election, maybe Torontonians will take notice, especially if there’s a clear choice of recognizable candidates who campaign on distinct visions for the city’s future.

"When CBC News tried to establish how many children had died from flu in Ontario, three different provincial agencies refused to provide figures."

"Public" data in Canada, folks.

QUESTION PERIOD: The PCs are still maintaining that they were prepared for the wave of respiratory illnesses at children's hospitals, and said even CHEO's decision to call in the Red Cross was part of their plan. #onpoli

I still can’t believe they’ve got hospitals calling the Red Cross for help when Ontario under spent on healthcare by ~$900 million in the first half of this year.

Ontarians deserve better.

Ontarians deserve a healthcare system that doesn’t rely on the Red Cross to bail us out.

A typical school has 4 times as many occupants as does office buildings for the same floor space. A school may be a higher risk for airborne pathogens than a hospital. Each school should have site specific mandated Indoor Air quality (IAQ) inspections yearly

More than 6.6 million people have since died.
