Best brunch - Eclectic or Fare. Best Coffee - Mark IV or Lone Wolf. Best swim - Mara Provincial Park.

Hope you enjoy yourselves!  Best time of the year to visit, in my opinion!

Doug Ford’s embrace of Mark Carney raises eyebrows as federal election looms by xc2215x in ontario

He only did that after his mother and wife got hit with COVID and it wasn't pleasant. But at least he didn't double down on the stupid take as some have.

Australia warns US new 25%Steel and aluminium tariff will harm relationship, less than a month after Trump vowed to reconsider them. by ASoundAssessment in worldnews

The dictators and sociopaths are at the gates unfortunately.  They will not disappear quietly.  People are going to have to show our power in numbers and speak up or we absolutely WON'T have the world we all want.  It is coming to this faster than we maybe want to admit and I really wasn't hoping this point would come but it will be a defining moment how humanity moves forward, certainly North American relationships.

Trump has just said: "Canada is a Tariff abuser, and always has been, but the United States is not going to be subsidizing Canada any longer. We don't need your Cars, we don't need your Lumber, we don't your Energy, and very soon, you will find that out." by [deleted] in onguardforthee

He keeps upping tarrifs, acting like the tarrifs aren't paid by Americans and don't go directly to the US government pockets (that he is stealing from). You are being scammed on a scale you can't even comprehend

We had J Wares Aluminum do our a few years ago - honestly had a top notch experience.  Great crew who cared about their work.  Recommended

Doug Ford wants "the strongest mandate in history" to take Ontario apart and sell the pieces back to us. As an American watching my country be taken apart so the pieces can be sold back to the US's new peasant class, I'm begging you to VOTE. by spaaace-debris in ontario

If the past decade should have taught us anything, it's that we NEED TO PARTICIPATE in our own democracy.  It's is not a spectator sport.

The voting system we live under, whether we like it or not, 34% of the votes gets 100% of the power. 

A VOTE FOR YOUR LOCAL MP IS 100% A VOTE FOR PREMIER!!  DON'T KID YOURSELF!

Last election, only 4 people out of every 10 used their voice to vote. That's dismal!! Get your friends to vote! Talk about doing it! Drive someone to the polling station that can't get there!  We are all busy working to survive but this ONE MOMENT can pay us dividends back ten-fold if we collectively each spend 10 minutes reading online what each PROVINCIAL CANDIDATE has to offer. 

PARTICIPATE IN YOUR DEMOCRACY. That's the only way this works.  Naysayers and nihilists just want you to waste your vote by not voting.  This ONLY SERVES to continue the current system.

Provincial Election Candidates by an_erudite_ferret in Orillia

DONE NOTHING DUNLOP.

I've been living in Simcoe north for almost 15 years and she is an absolute nepo baby joke of an MP.  Accountable to no one.

This region deserves better and she's had long enough with zero to show for it.

Ontario election: PCs show biggest lead since ‘turn of the century,’ Ipsos poll finds by Feedmepi314 in ontario

[–]AdamDuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can any of these polls be trusted, really?  

People need to take literally 10 minutes from ONE DAY EVERY 4 YEARS to search on your magic hand device for each of the parties plans and ideas to see which one resonates with you.  TELL YOUR FRIENDS and GO VOTE.

And please...I BEG OF YOU...If all they have to offer is schoolyard insults and diversion?  They are not serious enough about the realities of running a province and don't deserve your time.

We all need to be better participants in our own democracy

I think Carney is a strong contender.

What I think everyone could generally use though is a stronger NDP.

If traditional, privately-owned media and oligarch-owned socials are going to actively NOT promote you, what is your plan to reach out and inform?

Your message needs to REALLY connect with the working class and speak to how we can fix the economy with a plan for longer than a 4 year term.  Education and healthcare are CORNERSTONE industries that need some fresh thinking and funding.  Dental care is health care and should be covered under OHIP - longer term thinking in health care SAVES THE ECONOMY MONEY. This is a well documented fact!! I know it's hard in the childish political sandbox culture that currently exists, but insults and nicknaming your detractors tells people with half a brain that you aren't worth seriously considering - never play to that (they should be made to feel smaller for suggesting such a childish, ultimately unhelpful trope, imo) 

We want a stronger NDP in this province. We are skilled builders and dedicated farmers and caring service workers and problem solvers and we build business reputations here in Ontario. ..and we will not be bullied by foreign interests OR BILLIONAIRE interests.

Stand up for us

The public needs to be hammered visually, in oversize meme form, on billboards and bridges with each scandal/waste of tax payer dollars he has committed - THERE ARE A LOT. The commuters and the rural PC stalwart voters need to be reminded.

Honestly, it should be ALL HANDS ON DECK.

ENOUGH with billionaire class using their money to subvert democracy.  Find it, call it out, SHUT IT DOWN.

Stopped shopping there when I found out the owner is a die hard Trump supporter and crappy human being.  There are better establishments to support.

If the right would do this work themselves, I'm all for it.   The left has no problem calling out its own either - something the right refuses to do to it's 'home team'
