If you only listen to your own ‘echo chamber’, you start believing your local problems are isolated…if you widen your gaze, you find those problems replicate everywhere.

But take abortion out of it…the Governor was right.

Doug Ford won a landslide vote recently in a second consecutive election victory outstripping his success in his first! It's been 100 years since that happened in Ontario. Why? Because Ontario's wanted to show broad support for Conservatives generally and not an out-of-touch Federal Liberal government using the socialist New Democrats as a crutch.
