It's easy to forget the shit show happening in the North with the constant shock and awe with our neighbours to the South. It has been the perfect distraction for some real fuckery to happen up here that just slides under the radar:
According to insiders and a detailed post on Reddit, Shoppers has been charging the Ontario government upwards of $60–$75 for often unsolicited MedsCheck phone calls, often without clinical basis or need. The compensation figures sharply contrast to what family doctors typically receive for comprehensive, in-person physical exams: $38.
Shoppers’ billing practices have come under scrutiny, with allegations suggesting a significant...

Wonder if it has anything to do with the Ford family business, Deco Labels, the preferred printer for Loblaws. Sounds crazy, until you hear the Premier is also moving some Service Ontario locations into Staples retail centres, also a major client for Deco Labels. I know it may sound like a silly conspiracy theory, but it's hard to forget his failed greenbelt development that he had to back track on:
Special project G*: Ontario government staff used code name for Greenbelt carveouts
Documents released through freedom of information shed more light on secrecy measures used as Doug Ford government planned to open protected land to development
Ontario government staffers working on contentious changes to the Greenbelt in 2022 edited email chains to remove mentions of the protected area and replace it with a code word: “G*.” Different versions of a number of email chains between senior bureaucrats and political staff in the Housing...

Ford reiterated his view that he wanted “like-minded judges” in question period on Monday. On Tuesday, he said he was “tripling down” and got a standing ovation from Tory MPPs. “We're going to triple down on making sure communities are safe,” Ford said. “I'm sick and tired of judges letting these people out on bail. We're going to hire tough judges. That's what we're doing.”
Advocates' group, Criminal Lawyers' Association, CCLA, and FOLA all fired back at the premier

Well I certainly hope he appoints
tough judges that punish criminals that harm others for their own benefit - because that dumb fat fuck certainly deserves to spend time in prison, just like that other DFF in the South is going to.
That was cathartic, I feel better now.
