Someone dumped 3-4 garbage bags right off my road, Ottawa's new dump? City's 3-bag limit? Guess folks just haul extras out here and call it "recycling." @CityofOttawa fix your system before the country turns into a landfill. @ottawacity #OttawasNewDump #ThreeBagProblem

What is happing to #Canada? We have companies that main source of income is derived from gov't #Grants and #Programs? IMO gov't should create policies to help #SmallBusiness . After businesses start to hire people and tax income increases. Then invest in health care & schools!

People ask "what do you do in the winter"? This morning I checked the #GH, talked to Tina & Alex who are seeding in the #GreenHouse.  I am also attending a Zoom meeting about #Raspberries today.  This afternoon I'll be attending another zoom meeting by #FCC for Young Farmers.

Breakfast was so good this morning! Fresh baked buns and a butter, honey and cinnamon mixture as a topping.

#PMonBT Hey @JustinTrudeau, why hasn’t any further action been taken on processing the Moran’s paperwork (which apparently was marked as “urgent”) for their legally adopted son? We can do better as a country. #bringinghomeayo
Since the weather today (Sunday October 28th, 2018) is forecast to be a mix of rain and snow we have decided not to open our pumpkin patch today (333 Cedarview Road, Ottawa, Ont.). We will be open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
I have been clear that one of our most important commitments is to protect Ontario jobs. We have been closely following the ongoing negotiations with our neighbours in the south, & will stand with our federal partners when it comes to our national and provincial interests.#onpoli
Let's get rid of our deficit and pay down our debt. Gov't can only create an environment where business grows and needs to hire more well paid employees. Lower business red tape. #GrowOntario #GrowCanada #GrowBusiness #CreateJobsNotDebt #BackToBasics #WorkTogether xitter.gq/fordnation/status/1005…
We will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Prime Minister and the people of Canada. My number one goal is to protect jobs in Ontario, starting with my unwavering support for our steel and aluminum workers.
Congratulations to @gghamari and @MacLeodLisa on being elected and re-elected to Queen's Park! #GrowOntario #GrowBusiness #CreateJobsNotDebt #BackToBasics #WorkTogether
Congratulations to all conservatives elected tonight. A great day for Canada’s largest province.

Congratulations to Premier @fordnation and the entire @OntarioPCParty, including many of my former colleagues. Tomorrow is a new day for Ontario. We all look forward to a stronger and more prosperous province under Doug’s leadership of this new government.

Replying to @chrissmid
I disagree @chrissmid. After #MinimumWage went up $2.40 Jan 1st employers had to make changes to offset such a large increase. Our local grocery store shortened their hours. @C_Mulroney @OntarioFarms @fordnation

Replying to @chrissmid
How can it @chrissmid? The price of goods and services has to go up to pay for the increased #MinimumWage. #NoFurtherAhead @C_Mulroney @OntarioFarms @fordnation
Gov't needs to create an environment to start and grow business. This will help people to get back to work and create wealth. After people are working again then #Ontario can pay OFF our debt and help the truly needy. #BackToBasics @Kathleen_Wynne @fordnation @AndreaHorwath
GMOs are safe, we would not use them if we thought otherwise. Safe food is, and always has been, our number one priority. Global food and safety regulatory bodies including the FDA and the WHO have also verified their safety. For more facts please visit: bit.ly/2a5hK7v
