There are 2 Chows on the ballot - she is the second Chow on the list at #9.

pencanada.ca So, I’m introducing this event, which will mean a few choices for me. You know that Ruth Zardo, the cantankerous, dishevelled, drunken, shockingly outspoken, puzzle-solving, annoyingly often right, award-winning, blackly-dressed, duck-owning old poet of idyllic Three Pines, where an astonishing number of people get murdered among the bliss and croissants, frequently writes poems that are, um, mine? Should I come in character? Should I bring my duck? Didn’t know I had one, did you, Louise? She’s talkative!
See you there! Bring your freedom of expression!

They changed the law when court ordered to produce phone records, rewarded people that stole from the taxpayers, punished students for the theft by others, defunded healthcare to benefit donors, they've taken away our voices with Strong Mayor Powers,MZO's etc...
Enough is enough

The Toronto area is currently averaging 2 people killed and 5 people seriously or critically injured *every week* by drivers in vehicles. There have been 0 gun related deaths in that time. Anyone *actually* concerned about safety in Toronto should be looking at road safety.

Despite the health minister's repeated assurances that decisions about cancer treatment funding are made by medical professionals, newly released FOI records show the final say in at least one case rested with a senior ministry of health official who refused funding, despite the government’s own health agency and two clinical experts recommending it.

NDP Leader Marit Stiles says Ontarians paid for the KPMG report and deserve to know what it found about private career college student aid.

Doug Ford ripped up my photo of his ministers celebrating the Academy of Learning's opening. Good thing I have copies. As long as the donations kept flowing, this government turned a blind eye, and now thousands of students are paying for it. So who is Ford really working for?

If taxpayers are paying for the audit, taxpayers should be allowed to read the results.
The Ford government allowed hundreds of millions of public dollars to flow unchecked for years. Now, they’re refusing to release the findings of the very audit the public has paid for.
"Trust us" isn't good enough. Look where that trust got us. Stop hiding the truth. #onpoli

Doug Ford is running the biggest deficit in Ontario's history. Wait times are through the roof and our kids are crammed into packed classrooms. So where is all that money going? Because it sure isn't going to the people of Ontario.

When my colleague Jamie West showed me this ad from Doug Ford’s government, he couldn’t stop laughing.
Jamie spent 17 years working in mines, and in the photo he spotted pickaxes, no safety gear and half a dozen violations of Ontario’s own safety rules.
That’s exactly why he wrote his Mining Awareness Week bill, and when it comes up for a vote on December 9th, Ford’s cabinet should be first in line to support it.

Doug Ford pulled the rug out from under students and then blamed them for it.
His government was warned about suspicious OSAP activity at private career colleges as far back as 2023, and it kept approving them for funding anyway.
Now students are left with more debt, no OSAP grants and no idea how they’ll finish school.
Today I’m forcing a vote to make Ford come up with a plan, within 14 days, for the students paying the price for his government’s failure.

Remember when Doug Ford blamed students buying expensive watches and cologne for his OSAP cuts? Turns out the red flags were at private career colleges, under his own watch. Students did nothing wrong, and they're stuck with the debt. It's time to fire Minister Nolan Quinn.
Of course the crooks voted against an audit. Intervention sorely needed.
🚨 #BREAKING: Doug Ford’s PCs voted down an Ontario Liberal motion that would have required Ontario’s Auditor General to audit the OSAP scandal.
The Auditor General works for Ontarians. KPMG works for @fordnation and @nolanmquinn.
Ontario is witnessing a cover-up.

Whistleblowers report the U.S. CLOUD Act gives Trump the legal mechanism to access data stored inside Ontario data centres if those facilities are owned/operated by U.S.-headquartered tech giants.
Once again, @fordnation is selling Ontarians to TRUMP!
