Doug Ford’s government is moving to exempt ministers and the premier from the public scrutiny of access to information laws.
In a controversial move Friday, Business Minister Stephen Crawford announced the third-term Progressive Conservatives were “modernizing Ontario’s privacy protections and bringing the province’s technology practices into the 21st century.”
But the amendments, which will be introduced after the legislature resumes March 23, mean “excluding the records of the premier, cabinet ministers, parliamentary assistants and their offices under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).”
The protection of cabinet ministers from public access to information was met with outrage from political opposition to taxpayer groups.
you know your government is doing Extremely Legal Shit when you quietly slip through a law on a Friday afternoon that will make the highest government officials exempt from Freedom Of Information requests

Ben Mulroney saying “the generation that grew up on participation metals has now come of age…”
Canada’s biggest nepobaby complaining about people being rewarded for things they didn’t earn is irony so thick you could cut it with a knife

Was at the grocery store and stumbled upon a rack of wine that was on clearance .
Hmmm -- I like a cheap Pino!
Was about to buy some when I noticed that the label said Wayne Gretzky.
Straight OUT OF my basket!

The medical/training team needs to be sued for the role they played in destroying this man’s brain.

Having to cheer for a Sam Bennett/Brad Marchand/Tom Wilson line seems like some sort of government Suicide Squad initiative to give supervillains one last chance to benefit society

Getting a penalty for losing a challenge is an A+ rule. Should be in all sports.

A slight (very slight) name drop here: An old friend of mine --who I lost touch with years ago--was a writer for Kids in the Hall and later Seinfeld. He is credited as 'Vegetable Lasagne' in the Elaine/ Puddy break up episode on the plane. The legendary Frank VanKeekan.

i hold no love for Mark Carney but even I've gotta have sympathy for the dude when I imagine his aide being like "sir, the president thinks you own the whole bridge and you're being mean about it" and him having to put down his copy of The Economist to make the dumbest phone call of all time
