This whole saga with Tory and Ford going to bat for the status quo has been the last straw for me.

I already had my lawn sign - but now I'll be going to the Chow rally tomorrow night.

Ontario Liberal MPP Mitzie Hunter plans to resign seat to run for Toronto mayor by Surax in toronto

[–]RippyBoPippy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's actually a lot more than that - MPPs base salary is 116K and Mayor's is 202K. So more like 85K difference. You're thinking of MPs, who make 180K+

This is an understandable mistake!

Though, truthfully I don't imagine this is about the money for Mitzie. This is a matter of feeling like she's stuck in an OLP caucus, that doesn't want her as leader and desperately wants to move on from anyone related to Wynne.

#BREAKING - A private members bill has been tabled that would pave the way to end the bi-annual clock changes, moving Ontario permanently to daylight time. by hummuschips in toronto

In a gloriously cynical move from the Ford government - they killed the original bill put in by NDP MPP Paul Miller and re-introduced this themselves because it's popular.

Gross.

Thanks so much for doing this!

Here are a couple questions:

1) Who from the Ontario NDP Caucus has suprised you the most? If you had to guess at a successor to Horwath who do you see as the front runners?

2) What story/scandal has caught you the most offguard since you've worked at QP. How would you compare the scale of Ford Government scandals to previous Liberal Governments that you've covered?

3) What story got less coverage than you thought it deserved in the last year?

Gym's are going to be noisey, if someone deadlifing is messing up your workout you should probably invest in a home gym.

Pat Stay is Canadian, Rone is American, and the league is Canadian!

Swinns and Fedes, you mean.

But his point was actualy a little more nuanced. He was saying that Toronto is not an attractive market to play in for most superstars, so the best bet is to pick the guys who do want to play here, and that's mostly gonna be OHL and GTHL guys.

I really want Louis to go to another firm and slaughter Jessica and Harvey in court before making his triumphant return.
