Ontario’s Conservatives are misleading you about Bill 46 and what it means for loyalty points.
With one quiet regulatory change, the Ford govt could let corporations make your points expire. I wouldn’t trust this govt to run a lemonade stand, let alone protect consumers. #onpoli

This is obscene and Ontario’s worst landlords are absolutely going to take advantage of people not knowing their rights / the law to try and pull bullshit like this. The government ~just floating ideas~ has real consequences.

@mehlerpaperny.bsky.social Hello, I think you were interested in hearing ideas for investigative journalism. Here's one: Who is the dark money behind this group working to open up our public healthcare system to more privatization?
I have posted about this for several years, on old Twitter and here too.
Reminder that when you see any media coverage like this, on healthcare wait lists, look for the name SecondStreet. And understand what SecondStreet is and what it's trying to do on behalf of dark money.
See my next post...
