I look forward to voting for this bill, and I encourage all members in this House to support this bill. In a 5-2 decision, Chief Justice Wagner wrote that the federal government clearly overstepped. So, again, I want to call on the federal government to withdraw so we can complete the provincial EA for Highway 413 and build this important provincial project as soon as possible.

According to a survey conducted by Abacus Data in July, the rising cost of living is far and away the top concern for Canadians, while housing affordability now rivals health care as a priority. Recent data from Environics also shows that Canadians are markedly more worried about household debt than they were a decade ago — with the biggest spike in debt anxiety reported among those aged 18 to 44. One of the components in this fall economic statement is extending the gas tax cut that will save people money—5.3 cents at the gas pumps. By the way, I would encourage the federal government as well to step up and scrap the carbon tax on gas so that people can save money, so they can see more relief at the gas pumps. Since then, I’ve been receiving calls from my constituents that are so pleased to hear that we’re extending the gas tax cut.
Heavy police presence in downtown London as result of weapons investigation
Look at the great work of our Minister of Economic Development in promoting the EV industry right here in Ontario. Speaker, when it comes to transport, the Ministry of Energy collaborated with Ontario Power Generation regarding Ivy, reporting charging speeds of 150 kilowatts at ONroute locations. The Ministry of Transportation is investing $91 million to expand public EV charging infrastructure beyond urban centres.

Dark web markets offer a wide range of products, including drugs, weapons, stolen data, counterfeit goods, and more. However, it’s important to remember that participating in the sale or purchase of illegal goods is not only unethical but also illegal. The dark web is a part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines and requires specific tools to access.
- “Those who think the middle class is thriving in this country should spend more time with their fellow citizens,” Trudeau wrote in October 2012, shortly after launching his bid for the Liberal leadership.
- We cannot continue to go further into debt; we cannot continue to borrow our way to prosperity.
- It could help millions of homeowners cut their energy use and cut their bills rather than dramatically ramping up gas-powered generation.

As Trudeau cabinet meets, Liberal MPs look for signs of change following byelection loss
Also, under the previous Liberal government, the Kitchener line—and this is in 2017, just before we took power in 2018—only had eight trips per day. There were only eight trips per day on the Kitchener line. I’m proud to say that we have increased that service to 19 trips per day on the Kitchener line. Mayor Berry Vrbanovic said, “We need to keep that pressure on” to ensure two-way, all-day GO trains happen. And this motion passed unanimously at city of Kitchener.
Boeing Starliner astronauts are unexpectedly spending Election Day in space. Here’s how they will cast votes
Having access to top-tier medical care right here in Oakville is essential, and your contributions are making a difference. But the point of my amendment, and the point of all of us getting elected here is not so that we can simply ask other elected officials to do work. We didn’t ask to get elected so that we can ask other people to take action to help our constituents. We asked our constituents to vote for us so that we could take action, so that we could propose ideas, so that we could get things done within our purview to deliver benefit to them and to their families. The HST is a way in which the government of Ontario can take real and direct and concrete action on the sources of heat and the energy bills that Ontarians are facing. Especially as we approach winter and the holidays, it is my sincere hope that all parties in this House will take off their ideological blinders and do the right thing and help families save money on their utility bills as we head into winter and the holiday season.
Food banks
That, of course, is the official opposition motion that is before us. This is an issue that I’ve certainly risen in the House to talk about on many occasions, because it is certainly near and dear to my heart and of course near and dear to my constituents’ hearts, that being because I obviously represent a portion of Kitchener. Of course, I’m always going to stand up to the call for expansion of services along the Kitchener GO line. That is why I’m proud to be part of a government who is actually getting the important work done on this project. Anyone who’s tried to make it between Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto on the 401 knows just how congested it is. That time spent in traffic negatively impacts our productivity.
- Unlike the federal Liberals, we don’t pit ourselves against the people we came here to represent.
- The US S&P 500 is in the 87th percentile valuation over the past twenty years.
- Canadians are reporting that last year they spent about two-thirds of their shopping dollars in-store, only a third online.

- This model ELSI MATE EL-8048 was released in January of 1979 and is made entirely of plastic.
- First-time homebuyers absorb inventory, but they don’t put another unit of inventory back in the resale market, and so you get this big drawdown in the supply.
- This contrasts sharply with the tax-and-spend policies of the former Liberal government, aided and abetted by the NDP for three years of its mandate.
Northern Ontario
Instead, we are delivering a plan that will help us continue to build a stronger Ontario together. So I will say, Madam Speaker, it does seem like there is indeed quite a lot of work being done to get us towards that two-way, all-day service that we in Waterloo region are desperately looking for. And one wonders a little bit on the timing of why this motion might be introduced. Some people—not me, Madam Speaker, but maybe some more cynical people may notice that they waited until a by-election in Kitchener Centre was called to introduce this motion.
BOF Black Business Loan Program Eligibility Criteria
In the days and weeks after Rossignol, after Verdun, after the Somme, it seemed as though tragedy cascaded through her hands with every piece of mail. There were only two such envelopes today, thank goodness, but it was still too many. The tide had turned against Germany and its allies, or so the news- papers declared. There were rumors of peace negotiations and news of civilian unrest in Germany, where the kaiser was being pressured by his own government to abdicate. There was talk of an armistice but until then, the fighting continued. And then their armies would demobilize, their men return from the front.
- That’s what you’re going to go down as, and this is another example.
- The architect showed Ms. Kriss and me the underground stackers, which provide parking spots for 18 cars in a space about the size of a church basement.
- They said they were going to fight the federal carbon tax and abandon the cap-and-trade system, which, by the way, had a lower cost than the carbon tax.
- It means that families who are struggling right now feel even more hopeless.
- Finance critic, have you heard the news that they suddenly don’t have any money to help people with anymore?
- In the lead-up to the 2019 election, Trudeau’s team internalized the idea that the vote needed to be “a choice, not a referendum” That framing is likely twice as important for the Liberals now.
- Bond yields in August rose to their highest level since 2007, with US 10s hitting a high of 4.36%.
- But the bedrock of democratic societies can be eroded far more quickly than we think possible, as millions of Americans have learned over the last few years.
Darknet Markets: Resilience and Growth
After a mid-month mini spike, the VIX has tumbled back down to its recent lows, with the summer lull back in full effect. However, September has historically been the most volatile and weakest month, so we’d be surprised if this lasts. As we head into the seasonally weak fall months, we prefer to remain defensively positioned across our portfolios. AI came to the rescue in August and reinvigorated the bulls; however, this song, even if AI-generated, can only keep people on the dance floor for so long. Valuations – Valuations are a common reason used to argue for more global diversification. However, it has become even more stretched over the past few years.

Those are the things we should be focused on, Madam Speaker, especially as we think about recovering from the pandemic. The Ontario Infrastructure Bank is much needed and serves as a strong reminder to our people and our businesses that their government is committed to continue building where it matters. With proposed initial funding for the Ontario Infrastructure Bank of $3 billion, this arm’s-length agency would play a pivotal role in financing essential infrastructure projects to support our growing population and our future economic growth.
What are Dark Web Markets?
In one day on Twitter, the self-care hashtag has been used, shared, and liked over 2 million times (Keyhole Stats). Corporations and celebrities alike have cashed in on the craze, creating their own #selfcare packages, tips and programs representing a $10 billion industry in the US alone. Millennials also put their money where their organic, gluten-free, no GMO mouths are and spend nearly twice as much as Boomers do on self-care products and services, $295/month vs. ($152/month) respectively. Finally, as we draw closer to the Ontario Provincial election, we’ve started to put together our plans to educate every provincial and municipal candidate for office about the importance of the tourism industry to our economic recovery.
The housing crisis could kill Canada’s competitive advantage
If the population doubles and GDP “soars” by 50%, guess what? So, sure, we bring in half a million people per year and GDP grows because there’s half a million people most of whom are doing something. But does that mean any given person is actually better off? The immigrants may well not be increasing GDP per capita.
Is it legal to use dark web markets?
This tightening of financial conditions helps explain the recent underperformance of many cyclicals. Canadians are reporting that last year they spent about two-thirds of their shopping dollars in-store, only a third online. Then we say, “Well, what about this year? How do you think that’s going to split?” 60% online, 40% in-store.

I can tell you that not only will it go over well in my riding of Durham, but it is going over so well. It’s actually hard to pick one, because depending on who I’m speaking to on a given day—and we have the annual Santa Claus parade coming up in Bowmanville on Saturday. I’m looking forward to it for many reasons—including hearing more input from people’s favourites.

48% of Millennials would vote Liberal if an election were to be held tomorrow (their largest electoral bloc) and Gen X to a lesser degree (45%). The Boomer and Silent generations are in a dead heat divided between the Conservatives and the Liberals. They will still represent 35% of the electorate by the time 2019 rolls around and while 2015 has been dubbed the first Millennial election don’t count Battleground Boomer out of the race. Remembering that the electorally seasoned Boomers are more reliable to show up to the polls, policy makers would do well to remember the Boomers could still be the deciding factor of the next election. Well, economic growth and the perceived ramping up of Canada’s economic engine might be one of the reasons. We asked 2,036 Canadians to tell us how they feel about the economy and 68% of them told us that they felt that the economy was growing.

- “If we do not attend to this problem,” he wrote, “we should not be surprised to see the middle class question the policies, and the very system, that values and encourages growth.”
- Again, it bears repeating that during the period of time that the previous Liberal government was supported by the NDP, only 611 new long-term-care beds were created.
- As my friend said, we’re 58th out of 63 countries in the success of reducing our CO2 emissions, and we’re just a small portion of the world.
- Just for context, this is a bill that’s enacting budget measures following on the government’s fall economic statement, which came two weeks ago, right before the constituency week.
It’s truly shocking to see that the independent Liberals and opposition NDP continue to support this punitive carbon tax that is making manufacturing materials so much more expensive. The carbon tax is raising the price of everything and impacting all industries throughout our province. This means fuel prices will increase, creating a chain reaction of rising costs throughout the economy.
Launched in late 2021, it has rapidly grown, offering a wide range of products and services, with a focus on security and user experience. Here, I’ll share my journey, the features that stood out to me, and some insights from the 2024 Crypto Crime Report. Darkweb markets continue to thrive, albeit with fluctuations driven by law enforcement actions, technological advancements, and shifts in user preferences. As of 2023, the total value received by illicit addresses linked to darknet markets saw a notable increase, contrasting the general decline in other forms of crypto crime.
After talking to him about his situation, we asked if we could help with groceries. In my riding recently, I was surprised to learn about a transit-oriented community that will be built with Metrolinx, and I hope they might consider things like co-op housing there. Let’s not forget that this government is merely dragging its feet. There is much more that I could say around the fall economic statement’s shortcomings on northern development, on Indigenous affairs, on colleges and universities, but I’d like to surrender the rest of my time to the member from Don Valley West. They could look into potential collusion around grocery prices.
I would suggest to the Leader of the Opposition—I know that their party is based on the principles of 1933, but the modern age has many other ways of communicating, not just the old technology that is a phone. As well, I am pleased to introduce members of the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network, who are here today for a lunch reception to mark Lung Cancer Awareness Month in Canada, as part of the Right2Survive coalition—and including a welcome to president and CEO Jackie Manthorne.

The GO expansion full business case report from this point in time lists the GO rapid rail services or the Kitchener line as being between 2025 and 2030, and this was sold as a positive turn of events. I said, again, “Our province will never be able to abacus market onion compete globally if Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto are separated by a 100-kilometre-long parking lot.” This is the truth. I mean, the potential is so profound if this is actually realized and if we could get the ridership to buy back into this line.
Just this past May, the weekend GO buses between Kitchener and the GTA were so full, they were leaving people behind on the platform. There are times when the bus service is so bad that it can take as long as three hours to travel between Kitchener and Toronto. No one—no one—should be left behind on a platform or spend three hours just to travel 110 kilometres. For those of us who live in Ontario’s rural, remote and northern communities, the effects of the carbon tax are disastrous. It’s not fair or right that rural and northern Ontarians are being forced to pay more because of where they live.
All we have accomplished with the federal carbon tax is driving people into energy poverty. They didn’t drive down emissions; they drove up the cost of everything. The federal government told us, when they implemented the carbon tax, that it was going to reduce emissions and that people were going to get back more than they put in through the carbon tax rebate.

This addresses the evolving needs of our aging population while ensuring that we retain the dignity and quality of care that families expect and deserve. This contrasts sharply with the tax-and-spend policies of the former Liberal government, aided and abetted by the NDP for three years of its mandate. The work we do for the well-being of Ontario is something that I am reassured about with the leadership of the Premier, the Honourable Doug Ford, and our Minister of Finance. I am reassured with this proposed legislation of our ability to safeguard our province’s best interests, thanks to our government once again proving that we refuse to stand idly by in the face of adversity and uncertainty.
And just this past week, we marked another milestone, as the first LRT tracks were installed in Port Credit. They will connect to the Port Credit GO train station, with 15-minute service or better, and the new bus rapid transit line on Lakeshore. We’re working towards a modern, reliable transit network right across the GTA. Last week, I joined the President of the Treasury Board at the Royal York for a speech from the Minister of Finance to the Canadian Club.
