Any barrier that creates delays and financial hardships in this sector negatively impacts Ontario’s growth and economic prosperity. Marie, taking the equivalent of two million cars off the road. It’s called supporting business, not being punitive to the families in Ontario with a carbon tax that achieves absolutely nothing. Speaker, building new housing that’s affordable is part of the solution, but what is the government doing now for people like John and tenants in Thorncliffe Park who are struggling with $300-a-month rent increases because the government removed rent control in 2018? We know the government thought that allowing a few developers to make $8.3 billion in windfall profits was a good idea, but now we need good ideas that help those struggling to pay rent and buy food.

30 p.m. EDT: What do Canadians want?

At the time of writing there are 640 days till the next federal election. The Conservative’s green-eared leader Andrew Scheer is still new to Canadians and has yet to prove himself as an alternative to Trudeau. While the NDP are a complete wildcard and a new leader could threaten the Liberal consolidation of the left. Nevertheless, at present, the Sunny Ways Express can keep chugging happily along. As most employers and Boomer parents might of noticed, their Millennial interns and children have taken up the mantel of “self-health” with a fervour often reserved  for Apple users and those charity canvassers we avoid eye contact with on street corners.

Meeting expected to tackle cost of living, U.S. relations

I just want to remind the government members, because this is on all of you, right? It’s on all of you to make sure that this connectivity piece comes to be a reality. This was an interesting time, because Kathryn McGarry, at the time the Liberal transportation minister, was calling into question their numbers. I found the whole thing very amusing in some regards, because they were both calling out each other for not having strategy.

Well, in a recent study conducted by Abacus Data we found that 85% of Millennials check social media at least once a day. Of that, more than half check it frequently throughout the day. Additionally, Millennials are more ‘herd-driven’ than other generations. Millennials were 65% more likely than other generations to participate in an activity when their peers were also participating. Furthermore, Millennials feel obligated to share a portion of their lives with the world.

Are Canadians still willing to give Justin Trudeau a second look?

Take, for example, a recent Leger poll that revealed that close to 60% of all Ontarians and close to the same number of Canadians nationwide demand the federal government to remove the carbon tax from everyone’s home heating bills. The prevailing opinion suggests that the majority of Canadians find it unjust for the government to force taxes on individuals for the essential act of heating their home. This sentiment is echoed across all regions of the country, underscoring a shared belief that providing relief on home heating bills for only a select group of people is inherently unfair. We already saw how last year’s heating costs, tied to the price of natural gas, spiked as much as 30% for Ontarians. Now we see that not only has the federal Liberal government failed to not completely halt the arbitrary and cruel tax on Canadians’ heating bills, but they have continued with the scheduled increases.

• They could look into potential collusion around grocery prices.
• Poilievre is adept at conveying ire but he still lacks a plan for reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions — a significant policy gap at a time when large parts of the country are on fire.
• They’re sitting on $5.4 billion in a contingency fund that’s unallocated that could be going to address affordability, that could be going to address health care, that could be going to address disabilities, that could be going to address education.
• And if the Conservatives can successfully turn the next election into a referendum on Trudeau, the Canadian voter could end up deciding to marry someone very different.
• The impact on victims remains severe, often resulting in substantial financial and emotional distress.
• In testing 25 new global flavours they found that chips could be categorized along two axes.
• His smile dared her to stay angry, so of course she couldn’t and laughed.
• Pretty much the week we were going into that we went into lockdown.
• In the early days of hand held calculators, news of suanpan operators beating electronic calculators in arithmetic competitions in both speed and accuracy often appeared in the media.

Is it legal to use dark web markets?

The government could also create a public agency, Housing Ontario, as my colleague from London North Centre has suggested, and actually fund and build not-for-profit, deeply affordable housing in Ontario. The government could move on this today and start getting back into the business of building affordable housing in Ontario. The food bank at the Pinecrest Terrace Community House told me that by the time people call them, they are desperate. They have tried every other solution they can think of to find food to feed their families, and yet the demand is so high that the Pinecrest Terrace Community Food Bank can’t give them an appointment for three to four weeks.

So these public-private partnerships that this government has been selling to the people of this province are not a good deal. It’s just not a good deal for the people that we’re elected to serve. It’s not smart business, nor is a 95-year lease for Ontario Place.

Can the Trudeau government revive its old ‘middle class’ message?

In 2016 alone Orangetheory opened one storefront for each day of the year. We previously wrote a post on the #Selfcare phenomenon that has seized the Millennial generation -if you haven’t had a chance to read it click here to check it out. That post and your conversation got us thinking about how Millennial views on health and healthy lifestyles are unique as compared to other generations. With that in mind, we welcome you to the first installment in a series we are calling, “Millennial Health”.

Windsor police seize $56,000 in drugs, arrest made

I’ve talked about this—actually, I think I talked about it a couple of weeks ago. Poor track conditions and multiple crossings had reduced train speeds, Madam Speaker, to 16 kilometres per hour, if you can believe that. That’s slower than some people can run through the city of Guelph. Due to the work that Metrolinx abacus market links has done under our leadership, those trains now travel that same stretch of track at 40 kilometres an hour. As I just mentioned, the 2019 business case report from Metrolinx notes that the expansion of rail service between Kitchener and Toronto “has been a key aspiration for communities” along the corridor.

Legislative business

She gave a brief history of how we came to be where we are today. We had a cap-and-trade system in Ontario in 2018 when this government came in calling it a carbon tax. They said they were going to fight the federal carbon tax and abandon the cap-and-trade system, which, by the way, had a lower cost than the carbon tax. Ontario is looking at potential big increases in electrical demand. To meet that demand, there are a variety of options before us.

I always say that when people show you who they really are, then you should believe them. So our way as the official opposition to try to hold the government to account, which is our job as Ontario’s official opposition—there are only two recognized parties in this House right now. So the increased access to educational opportunities should be a motivator for this government. Owning a car or using ride-sharing services can be expensive for students. You can get a—it’s a ride-share program, and it essentially came out of a sense of desperation, I want to say, that they didn’t have any other options.

By expanding the eligibility of the Ontario Focused Flow-Through Share Tax Credit to include critical minerals, we are helping position Ontario on the side of growth and prosperity. After all, our province is blessed with vast natural mineral resources, many of which are essential to our economic growth and the development of key industries, with great future potential and implications. This is about asking this government to support our call for a firm funding commitment and a clear timeline for the delivery of frequent, all-day, two-way GO rail service along the vital Kitchener GO corridor. Metrolinx continues to work with CN to deliver increased service to Kitchener, and there will be more information to share on those negotiations in the future. But I do want to sort of digress back into what we’re here to talk about today.

One of the reasons for the relatively strong standing of the government is that Canadians have sensed that the economy is picking up steam. Today, a substantial majority (68%) say the economy is growing, easily the strongest number we have seen since the last federal election. Approval of the performance of the Trudeau government is at 48%, disapproval 34%. In every region except the Prairie provinces more people approve than disapprove of the federal government today. Among no age group do more people disapprove than approve of Ottawa’s performance.

• I think more recently, there was already a real focus and worry about housing affordability in Canada.
• Like other Hungarian Canadians, she did so much to help build a stronger Ontario, and I was proud to introduce the Hungarian Heritage Month Act to recognize their contributions.
• I would suggest to the Leader of the Opposition—I know that their party is based on the principles of 1933, but the modern age has many other ways of communicating, not just the old technology that is a phone.
• Mr. Speaker, we currently live in very uncertain times and, for many Canadians, quite difficult ones at that.
• Seeing the people of Oakville unite to support our hospital is truly inspiring.
• I mean, the potential is so profound if this is actually realized and if we could get the ridership to buy back into this line.
• His letter said that First Wife and the matchmaker hoped to send news of a suitable match shortly after he returned to Paris, a telegram confirming that all the negotiations were complete and a marriage contract signed for Pauline.

• Louis would be home soon, his ship docking at Marseilles after a monthlong journey from Shanghai.
• This could be a quick amendment at committee—I’m sure it would have unanimous support from all parties—to take the HST off of home heating.
• And we put $6.4 billion into long-term care, to build infrastructure, and another $48 billion to build hospitals through the province of Ontario.
• Even if some people call us haters, we should demand a ceasefire, for the release of all hostages and for the investigation of all war crimes.
• Discussions and presentations will cover a number of topics, including taxes, fees and levies, public policy initiatives, public opinion surveys, market analysis and potential solutions.
• If she had taken a factory job there, she could’ve spent her days off visiting museums and galleries—the ones still open—to stand in front of paintings that changed how she saw the world.

They’ve retreated into month-end, having almost completed the round trip after the anxiety spike into Jackson Holl. Increasingly, everyone appears to be piling into the same names, once again with the momentum trade becoming increasingly crowded. Hedge fund exposure to tech mega-cap hit a new high in August. The change in position over the past few weeks has been minor, but the current standing remains quite a shift from the extremely bearish positioning a handful of months ago.

All we have accomplished with the federal carbon tax is driving people into energy poverty. They didn’t drive down emissions; they drove up the cost of everything. The federal government told us, when they implemented the carbon tax, that it was going to reduce emissions and that people were going to get back more than they put in through the carbon tax rebate.

Also worth noting is that there has been a slight increase in people’s comfort in waiting for a vaccine first before travelling (5% from the W1 survey). And if the Conservatives can successfully turn the next election into a referendum on Trudeau, the Canadian voter could end up deciding to marry someone very different. If (or when) inflation falls enough for voters to notice, and if interest rates decline in tandem, some of the dark clouds surrounding Trudeau and his government might part. That might allow Canadians to see him in a different light. In the lead-up to the 2019 election, Trudeau’s team internalized the idea that the vote needed to be “a choice, not a referendum” That framing is likely twice as important for the Liberals now. The Liberals won that election while Trudeau’s personal numbers were in the red — he began that campaign at 35 per cent positive, 46 per cent negative.

I can tell you that not only will it go over well in my riding of Durham, but it is going over so well. It’s actually hard to pick one, because depending on who I’m speaking to on a given day—and we have the annual Santa Claus parade coming up in Bowmanville on Saturday. I’m looking forward to it for many reasons—including hearing more input from people’s favourites.

This could be a quick amendment at committee—I’m sure it would have unanimous support from all parties—to take the HST off of home heating. I don’t think that any political party in Ontario could possibly oppose taking the HST off of home heating during an economic crisis, during an affordability crisis. As the snow is falling, as temperatures are dropping, there’s no one in their right mind who could possibly refuse the idea of taking sales tax off of the costs of heating your home in the winter. This bill showcases our government’s commitment to affordability and economic growth.
