  • “They Demanded — Under Duress — That We Stop Supporting Belinda ​[​Karahalios​]. We Are Appalled at This Bullying An
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report August 20, 2020 Quotation of the day “They demanded — under duress — that we stop supporting Belinda [Karahalios]. We are appalled at this bullying and abuse ​ ​ ​ of power. It is a direct attack on our democracy!” The now-derecognized PC riding association in Cambridge sends out flyers attacking Premier Doug Ford and the PC Party over alleged "intimidation tactics." ​ Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house reconvenes on Monday, September 14. The roster for the Select Committee on Emergency Management Oversight — which will scrutinize ongoing extensions of emergency orders via Bill 195 — has been named. The ​ ​ majority-enjoying PC side will feature Bob Bailey, Christine Hogarth, Daryl Kramp, Robin ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Martin, Sam Oosterhoff, Lindsey Park and Effie Triantafilopoulos. The New Democrat ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ members are Gilles Bisson, Sara Singh and Tom Rakocevic; Liberal MPP John Fraser will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ take up the Independent spot. The committee was struck as an accountability measure because the PCs empowered themselves to amend or extend the emergency orders for up to the next two years, without requiring a vote or debate in the legislature. Bill 195, the enabling law, also requires the premier ​ ​ or a designate of his choosing to appear at the special committee to justify any changes to the sweeping emergency orders. Premier watch An RFP for the next leg of the Eglinton Crosstown tunnelling project will be issued today. Premier Doug Ford announced the move in Mississauga Tuesday alongside cabinet’s ​ ​ transportation overseers Caroline Mulroney and Kinga Surma. ​ ​ ​ ​ Three construction consortiums have already been shortlisted and are now able to present their detailed costing plans to Infrastructure Ontario.

Tibollo Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions [email protected] Dear Hon. Doug Ford and Ministers, We are writing to you today as a group of small business owners across Ontario. Each of us are owners of dance & performing arts schools serving children of all ages and adults by providing extracurricular activities in dance disciplines including ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary and more. As the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, each of us closed to protect our students, ending in-studio instruction, cancelling year end performances and dance competitions that students have been preparing for since the beginning of our season. The long-term health of our dance communities depends on our coordinated focus to enact the necessary precautions and begin serving our patrons with the prescribed measures in-person as soon as possible. Recognizing the risk of spread of COVID-19 in group environments, we know that granting us permission to re-open can only be done with the assurance that we are taking the right measures to ensure the prevention of spread, the protection of our staff and students, and by extension their families.

  • April 19, 2021 the Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Queen's
    April 19, 2021 The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Queen’s Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A2 Dear Premier Ford: Re: Reform COVID-19 Operating Restrictions Framework: A Responsible Business Protocol The Whitby Chamber of Commerce represents recognizes the damaging toll the pandemic has had on Ontario’s business community. Forecasts of rising business bankruptcies, supplier, and bank delinquencies due to operating restrictions imposed by lockdowns and lockdown frameworks are alarming. Given the long-term forecast, now is the time to revisit and refine the regional operating restrictions framework to ensure it keeps Ontarians safe, builds business confidence and does not unduly harm our economy. We stand with our Provincial counterparts copied on this letter and recognize their innovative and responsible approach to revising the current Provincial framework. Thank you specifically to the Brampton Board of Trade for recommending the Responsible Business Protocol in January 2021. The “Responsible Business Protocol” refines the current colour-code system, calls for better definitions of safe operating protocols by sector, and recommends adding a community contact reduction framework to better address pandemic spread. Most importantly, the recommended Responsible Business Protocol puts the onus on businesses to adhere to a common safe operating framework to continue to remain open. In essence, it is a solution that simplifies understanding of rules by sector, addresses community contact reduction and most importantly, minimizes further damage to our economy while fighting the spread of COVID-19. At the heart of the Protocol is the understanding that compliance with safety standards is an integral part of running a business. It impacts every size and sector from retail to restaurants, from construction to manufacturing.

  • Doug Ford's Coming Tuition Announcement Is
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 17, 2019 Quotation of the day “Doug Ford’s coming tuition announcement is going to turn out to be a smoke and mirrors exercise.” NDP MPP Chris Glover joined the chorus of post-secondary advocates concerned ​ ​ about today’s expected announcement about tuition fee cuts and OSAP changes. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House is recessed until February 19. Government sources have told Queen’s Park Today, and reportedly the CBC, that cabinet will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ convene today. Sources say caucus meets as well. The premier’s office remains on lock. Premier watch A “Game Changer of the Year” award was bestowed upon Premier Doug Ford Tuesday night at ​ ​ a gala put on by the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada, a group ​ that bills itself as a “growing and powerful voice” for manufacturing firms. The guest list for the ​ Scarborough event included the finance and environment ministers, treasury board president and a few Tory MPPs. The premier wrapped up a two-day stint at the Detroit auto show earlier that day after meetings ​ with executives from Toyota Canada and General Motors as well as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. ​ In the park The Legislature’s public galleries are getting a fresh look. ​ ​ NDP ask why deputy minister didn’t recuse himself in Taverner hiring Let’s get ethical. That’s the message from NDP community safety critic Kevin Yarde, who wrote to ​ ​ soon-to-be-retired Cabinet Secretary Steve Orsini Wednesday asking why Deputy Community ​ ​ Safety Minister Mario Di Tommaso didn’t recuse himself from the hiring committee that picked ​ ​ Ron Taverner for OPP commissioner, given the pair’s history.
