I hope @mark-carney.bsky.social adds to his very large to-do list, the regulating of social media use by MPs - a hornet's nest that needs to be examined. No other workplace allows such unfettered use. Look at the damage done by #Ptbo's ex-MP.

Interesting to see Dave Smith cite the correct number for PTBO’s operating budget in this debate. Guess he did a bit more research after I published my fact check!
There are currently two Peterborough-Kawartha candidates debates available to watch online. Here's the YourTV debate:

Just over 2,000 votes would have changed Ptbo's reckless Conservative incumbent. Again. In my county Conservatives won in a landslide again. For those of us who would vote strategically if we could, it's a sad day.

Curious why Ptbo's waste water surveillance isn't on the new website. I can find it on the old Ptbo Covid Risk Tool site, but it would be nice to have it included on the new site. IMO, the waste water level is the best tool to assess risk. I'm grateful, though, that Ptbo still has this information.

Let's look at some of the delegates sent from our #Ptbo Riding, as seen by Ferreri's photo posts. 3 of #Ptbo's delegates are a proven racist, homophobe & grifter, integral to her failed campaign team, 100% behind PP, his division & hate. Do they rep our Riding's Conservative voice? 1/3

This #GivingTuesday, again I've chosen Ptbo's Yes Shelter for Youth and Families. I toured there a few weeks ago for the first time, as part of a United Way fundraiser. Amazing programming and supports.

@emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social Thank you for running to be #Ptbo's MP.

What is your stance on #ElectoralReform? The current system does not represent the will of the people. This can lead to parties (like the Cons) with 100% power from only 30-40% of the vote.
Thank you.

The point is, Liberals are potentially reneging on Ptbo’s economic growth during a time when the city appears to be swooning over them.

Also, Peterborough is the gateway drug to the Kawarthas. It shant be missed!

PTBO's board of health will hold a special meeting this afternoon to vote on merging with a neighbouring health unit.

Earlier this week, the province offered Peterborough Public Health $4.2 million in one-time funding to pursue the merger.

So in Kingston homeowners shoulder a relatively smaller portion of the tax burden than businesses do, compared to Peterborough.

The province wants cities to move toward lower C+I tax ratios, meaning homeowners would shoulder more of the tax. That's what PTBO's done ... shouldn't Smith be pleased?

"It's to enable our staff to follow through, on this trend," says @alexbierk.bsky.social (and it could be as simple as social media targeted to progressive states, he says). The idea is to "grab" Ptbo's share of the doctors who might want to come here, he says.

And let's not forget, Cons are the only party to use a loophole to bill taxpayers for attendance at a Party Convention. In #Ptbo's case with Michelle Ferreri, we paid $4,000 for her and Ryan to go on a 3-day jaunt to Quebec City. Fiscal responsibility? Not so much.
