NEW: After a 290% increase in #measles cases in #Ontario this week, questions are growing about why #DougFord's Chief Medical Officer of Health isn't holding regular updates.

Dr. Kieran Moore is rebuffing media requests for interviews. He did manage to attend the swearing-in ceremony for Ford’s new cabinet & send out his timely Spring "bear-awareness" email to Ontarians.

The salary for Ontario's "top doctor" is just under 1/2 million dollars /year.

Global News · Calls grow for Ontario to do more to tackle growing measles outbreakBy Isaac Callan

What a rube.

"they're quiet so they must be reconsidering"

No. They're quiet because in 2 weeks they're going to expand their efforts to be deeper and cover more countries!

He's like the grasshopper living it up in a fantasy that he can save us (or at least himself) rather than preparing for the coming economic winter.

He is getting played and we're all going to suffer for it.

Toronto Star · Doug Ford says Donald Trump’s commerce secretary has ‘totally toned it down’ as tariff talks continueBy Robert Benzie

"Doug Ford slaps 25 per cent tax on electricity to the U.S. in response to Trump tariffs"

Reminder ⬇️
"Before we cheer on Premier Ford. I would like it noted that #Ontario sells its excess hydro to the States at a loss instead of accepting the rules of supply and demand and lowering our insane hydro prices.
This is why utilities shouldn't be for profit and why Doug Ford still sucks."

Imagine if this ruling had been last month .. 🤨

Just 8 days after #DougFord's re-election, the Supreme Court of #Canada has found Premier Ford's law that limits spending on third-party election advertising violates the constitutional right to vote.

The top court’s ruling said the #Ontario Conservative govt's spending limit law is so disproportionate that it allows a single party to “drown out” the voices of third parties.

Global News · Top court finds Ontario spending limits on third-party election ads unconstitutionalBy The Canadian Press

The US was the second largest exporter in the world after China. In 2022, the United States exported $2.1 trillion worth of goods and Canada was the largest purchaser. The US is also the world's largest importer with a total $3.2 trillion in imported goods in 2022, and China was their top supplier.

Trump severing International trade relations with the world is going to wreck havoc on their economy!

Statistics from 2024, just last year:

US Population: 340 million
Canadian Population: 40 million

Canadian goods bought by Americans: $413 billion
American goods bought by Canadians: $350 billion

Canadian goods bought by Americans - per capita: $1,215
American goods bought by Canadians - per capita: $8,750

Who is subsidizing who, when Canadians buy over 7x more goods from the US than Americans buy from Canada!
