As you head to the polls, remember: 1. Doug Ford failed to end hallway medicine like he promised. 2. Over 2.3 million Ontarians have no family doctor. 3. In 2022, Doug gave 43 MPPs a $16000 raise & froze nurses’ wages at 1% increase for years. Doug cannot be trusted #onpoli

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

My favourite bookstore. The selection and service is terrific and they once had this really cute girl who worked at the old Kenaston store.
