Love this for you Alex. ❤️ There are a few people in my social media sphere, you being one of them, Greg Brady another that keep me sane because when I think something is completely absurd you guys tend to think it is even more so. And that helps me to know I have not completely gone bat shit crazy so I regularly thank you for that!

Carol, thank you! Greg is terrific and I should be making another appearance with him shortly. So much of what we do for a living is reminding people they're not alone in knowing these decisions and continued efforts of cowardice and abdication are beyond screwy.

Thank you for never losing your head, while others lose theirs! Enjoy the long weekend.

I'd be curious as well Alex to hear who put that insane work permit bug in Ford's ear. But Dougie, being Dougie, also likes to distance himself, it seems, from these kind of ideas, by running them up the flagpole to see how well they might fly.

This asylum seeker work permit idea didn't even get a flutter out of Ford's base. Quite the opposite in fact. Ford was severely admonished for it.

It's dead-in-the-water.

Next!!!

Good to see it dead-in-the-water. A concerted and organized effort to ensure that happened lol. Likely some deeply disloyal employers. I understand their exhaustion with housing these people and getting nothing in return, but no real Ontario interest asked for this, and firing up the flare for the nation's asylum seekers was about as dumb as it gets, and relentlessly cruel to the kids handing out hundreds of resumes and losing formative years, experiences, development opportunities...

Surely something he also discussed over s'mores with Carney. Not a conservative bone in that body, truly.

Enjoy the long weekend!
