Congratulations to Erin O'Toole on losing the next election.

Fuck yeah Annamie Paul! GO DONATE TO HER BY-ELECTION CAMPAIGN, SHE COULD WIN BILL MORNEAU'S OLD SEAT IN THREE WEEKS.

Stupid, corrupt, lying, loser.

[marodi]

Can I be the next governor general of Canada? I speak the French and the English and I think the queen is a sweet old grandma. That's enough qualification, isn't it?

Tight lock down measures for Ontario.

Police have expanded authority to pull over cars, and people for questioning. This is necessary but will also send the conspiracy minded / gov't overreach crowd over the edge.

[botley]

No, granting Police even more power is not a necessary measure.

Oh yeah, you can bet that Rebel news shithead Ezra Levant will be just milking the hell out of this.

Every single person on my social media, right or left leaning, is upset with the Premier for this utter travesty.

Scientists hate it. Even the fucking Police hate it:

I dunno...we did need more enforcement, but not like this. The way this is set up, all it does is give the police more freedom to hassle visible minorities.

What we really needed was to have more enforcement around the mask mandates. Instead of allowing people who fake a medical condition to enter a store without one, force them to wait outside. Stores will already happily bring your items to the curb for you and shop for you, but these assholes refuse that option when it's presented to them. Some police backup with this would be useful, but that's not what we got.

We need enforcement of distancing, masking and keeping non-essentials home in factories, warehouses and offices. That's not a police matter, that's a workplace inspection issue.

We need to actually start ticketing everyone who shows up at an anti-mask/anti-lockdown/anti-vaccine protest. That's something the police can do, but I don't think this accomplishes this.

There are other things that are needed too, beyond enforcement, like mandatory paid sick days, but we didn't get that.

Yeah. We didn't get much of anything from Ford that would actually help make the crisis less bad. At any time at all. In the last thirteen months.

Ford has backed down and cancelled the provincial order re: Police carding any passing citizen they please on penalty of a $750 fine, after a near-universal rebuke for yet another one of his outrageous, arrogant, ill-considered policies that would harm people and waste precious time — while our hospital wards are literally overflowing with people getting sick and dying — as a result of his government and their idiotic prevarications.

NDP, Liberal, Green — a fucking performing cat circus would have done a better job running the province than this clown show in Queen's Park right now.

a fucking performing cat circus

I would love to see a circus of cats in a political position of power. Damn...
I know who I'm voting for next election!
