  • Cheers to the end of the first LCBO Strike in history. But was it the LAST strike ever?
    2024/07/27
    In this episode of On the Ledge - your Ontario politics podcast:

    John Wright says the Ford government may have won the battle but the union got a better deal than they demanded in the first place, despite a disastrous communications strategy

    Or...was the contract package already baked into the government's plans even before the workers walked off the job on July 5th?

    It was a long term win for Doug Ford. But he and his team keep laying rakes down and stepping on them when it comes to the Ontario Place rebuild plans.Seems the premier is shocked to learn that underground parking on the Lakeshore is not only expensive, it's likely to FLOOD when we get the epic rain events we saw in July.

    We also touched on Deputy Premier "What's her name?" announcing plans to allow expand pharmacists role in treating ailments. Minister Jones REFUSED to say how much the program will cost.

    And, as we watch crews sift thru the charred remains of Jasper, where are governments, at all levels, in all regions with their commitment to investing in smart forest management?
    The wildfires across Canada are only intensifying and all were left with are a "thoughts and prayers" response from first ministers and ministers responsible for climate change and the environment.

    The Carbon Tax isn't a solution. Neither are heat pumps and EVs

    Read Jamie Stephen's LinkedIn post if you want to understand how government should be responding and investing.

    2024/07/12
    In this week's edition of On the Ledge - your Ontario politics podcast:

    Keith Leslie, John Wright and Dave Trafford lay bets on when the LCBO strike will end. The loser buys!

    Another report, another reason to "decommission" the Ontario Science Centre. It's become demolition by neglect.

    And we just can't avert our stateside gaze, rubbernecking the slow motion train wreck that is likely to end with a second Trump term in the White House!
