I am glad the Auditor General will review the wildfire response, but the AG has no teeth. Doug and crew will be shamed, but they will not be held accountable. #OntarioWildfireResponse #FordFailedOntario #onpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/08/04/n...
Not an inquiry, but an audit: Ontario to review its wildfire response

No news show should be booking RFK Jr. without an eject button. He’s spent years spreading dangerous misinformation with real-world consequences, then pretending none of it was his fault.
Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Corruptario calls it a bust out. Ford stripped many of our resources for private profit.
If you want the city run like Ontario, vote for either of those two and that's what you get. Double dose of far right politics
