Great to talk to Heather Hiscox on CBC about my next trip to DC. “Instead of pleading our case in DC, defend your case. They know the numbers, they’re ignoring the numbers. Everytime we go there & say ‘please listen to us’, they’re sitting there saying ‘you’re weak’”. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

It bears repeating that the increase in food bank usage has been identified by food banks themselves as because provincial social services are inadequately funded and haven't kept pace with inflation, and has absolutely nothing to do with the carbon levy, nor have deficits fuelled that inflation.

“His kryptonite: the Greenbelt. Ford fumbled a question that touched on the land swap scandal, which the RCMP is investigating. ‘I think I was pretty clear. I said I was, and then I wasn’t, and then I went ahead and did it,’ Ford said of his flip-flop.” qpobserver.ca/p/lets-talk-...

Ford struggled when the discussion turned to the $8.28-billion Greenbelt land swap scandal, and his flip-flopping “I think I was pretty clear. I said I was. Then I wasn’t, and I went ahead and did it. I apologized to the people,” stammered Ford. www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

Doug Ford commercial in heavy rotation tonight, jabbers about “when Ottawa descended into chaos, he stood up, stepped up for us.” I beg your pardon? The closest Ottawa came to chaos was during the chud convoy and I distinctly remember Ford was nowhere to be found. He went snowmobiling.

Something that needs more attention: The province has set housing targets for municipalities to keep pace with population growth. However, cities are completely ignoring these in their Official Plans, DC Background Studies, etc. Cities are creating housing scarcity.
