ero.ontario.ca/notice/025-0380 Ford is trying to repeal the endangered species act. The bill is called the "Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act," which is awful on multiple levels. The commenting period on the Environmental Registry ends May 17. Please write something to stop this. He's determined to do his part for extinction events while paving over the Green Belt. #GreenBelt #DougFord #Environment #Ontario #EndangeredSpecies #ecology #extinction

@MalcolmNance The removal of ALL #Kentucky bourbon and #Tennessee whiskey from the shelves of ALL Liquor Control Board of Ontario stores has bourbon exporters in Kentucky crying in their beer chasers. They are also big #GOP donors and have certainly called #RandPaul ‘onto the carpet’ over the #tariffs - aka #TrumpTaxes.

May your kindness be rewarded. 💜
