Christine Sinclair is the world leader in international goals. 187. No man even comes close. Messi is just at 76. Ronaldo is at 109. She’s the greatest of all time and no one can come close. 22 years of dominance and she’s never faltered. She’s criminally underappreciated #canwnt

I’m just so sad for all the people in Ontario who have followed all the rules, went out early and got vaccinated, made personal sacrifices, done everything that’s been asked of them and are being let down by Doug Ford. Again. Open boosters now. Keep us safe, don’t punish us.

If you voted for Ford and are even thinking of complaining today you need to turn off your phone and go sit and think about what you did because all of us who knew Doug were warning Ontarians in 2018 not to vote for this man because he isn’t a leader, and can’t be depended on.

Is there a German word for “the last 2 years of what we’re supposed to be the best years of my life have been lost to the pandemic and my entire generation has suffered personally and professionally from it and will continue to suffer from the fallout for years and no one cares”?

To be clear no Liberal, NDP, Green, or nonpartisan anti-Ford person made me tweet about Ivana Yelich and Brian Lilley. Everyone who reached out to me was worried about my safety. Lots of public servants and private citizens were too afraid to speak out due to fear of retribution

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but the fact that we’re almost two years into the pandemic and members of the press are still pushing the “the two parties are very similar” narrative when one party has a horse paste eating caucus is really getting on my nerves.

@DavidHamer_1951 Before I block you, I’ll tell you why. This is really an idiotic comments. there is no grand media conspiracy. The two parties in Canada are very similar and most journalists I know just want to reflect accurately what is happening, add context, and share our ❤️ of #cdnpoli

The situation in Ontario is dire. It didn’t have to be this way. For months we have called for national leadership to get vaccines where we need them. Time to stop talking about jurisdiction. Time to act like this is a catastrophe.

I’ve dealt with many journalists from many outlets in person, online, and over the phone. @CBCQueensPark @althiaraj @bruce_arthur @spaikin @IvisonJ @EmmaMci @emmapaling @fatimabsyed @robferguson1 off the top of my head. They were all professional, no matter their political stripe

I just can’t get over how easily the media continues to let Cheryl Gallant off the hook. She’s a bigoted far-right conspiracy theorist and they just let her get away with it. Same with O’Toole and how the majority of his caucus are social conservatives. Never any pushback #elxn44

If you see Ford voters complaining about Ford tag me and I’ll do my best to try to make them cry. This is your circus, these are your monkeys.

As the president of the QP press gallery it’s @ColinDMello ‘s job to uphold the QPPG constitution and ensure his members are not violating it by abandoning the journalistic principles and practices that is conditional to their membership. Colin ignored his member’s COI.

The party that threw a fit over their member being called out for violating the dress code shared a naked photo of an MP in another party without their consent? Checks out. Violates the House rules and also definitely a law or two but🤷🏻‍♀️ Shame on the journalists partaking in it.

In conclusion, Katie Telford is more capable, more intelligent, and more accomplished than the entire Shadow Cabinet and they should learn that it’s never a good idea to go after someone whose level they’re never be on.

37 years ago today, Ontario's 17th premier John Robarts was lost to suicide. @tvo producer @carastern puts a maple leaf by his headstone to remember this great Canadian. #onpoli #Ontario

What I feel guilty about is that woman named Tori Rodney has been using the article that resulted from my tweet to spread lies about @robertbenzie and his wife Rhonda McMichael. Tori has purposely cropped the article to make it look like Rhonda worked for Wynne. She never did.

When all of this is done I hope that we have a serious discussion about how PM Trudeau and the federal government stepped in and took responsibility for issues that should have been handled by the provincial govt. Doug Ford has been absolved of responsibility and it’s not right.

Personally I don’t support my taxes going towards destroying farm lands and the diverse ecosystems that inhabit them. Especially when Doug Ford is saying we don’t have enough money to give nurses and teachers proper raises. #onpoli #ontag @melissagrelo

Once again when Doug Ford realizes that he can’t win with CEO votes alone he goes brings back the @Kathleen_Wynne policy he canceled in the first place and tries to claim it as his own. Minimum wage voters have lost $6200 from him cancelling $15/hr in 2018. #onpoli

I’m not sure why Tori feels the need to spread Lilley’s lies about Robert and Rhonda but I feel absolutely awful about it. Others followed suit after her tweet. I was up for hours last night full of guilt because I feel responsible. To be clear, Rhonda NEVER worked for Wynne.

This is really bothering me because Tori knows her statement is false and is choosing not to correct it as to attack liberals. Robert Benzie’s wife is a civil servant who NEVER worked for Wynne. Tori purposely cropped that fact out her her screenshot. Just as bad as Brian #onpoli

I’ve tweeted at Tori multiple times to correct her statement but she’s ignored me. Rhonda is a civil servant. No affiliation with Wynne or OLP. Tori is sinking to Brian’s level by slandering a civil servant to push her narrative about the Star being biased against the NDP
