i am happy to see the creation of new care facilities, and hope that there is enough capacity in the end to prevent overcrowding. and, i h...

maybe we should just hire a train of slaves to follow doug around, and toss rose petals in front of him when he walks, like an emperor, or a...

i think maybe doug ford often gets a little sweaty, and maybe he's mandating what he would like, rather than what the people that live...

the sad reality is that if you mandate air conditioning in these facilities, what you're going to end up with is a lot of old people com...
