"Ford thinks it better to belittle the fourplex while doubling up on dorms and over-counting nursing homes. The melodrama is a missed opportunity to mop up his own mess" - @reggcohn in @TorontoStar
"That incredulity and mockery hasn’t stopped Ford’s Tories from massaging and manipulating the data to achieve an inflated and invented housing tally" - @reggcohn in @TorontoStar

Brilliant analysis from @reggcohn, connecting the dots on profligate spending on energy consumption while starving health and education. As Mae West used to say - it ain't how big it is, it's how you use it. (The deficit, dears, the deficit!)

Doug Ford’s Tories are spending more money than ever. So why isn’t there enough for health care and education? Today's column on a scandalous misappropriation of our money... thestar.com/politics/doug-…

@reggcohn Your columns are excellent. Regarding today's, I'm careful with energy in my apartment (costs 40 percent of my income) - no dishwasher/ air conditioner - but on a fixed income, I need the hydro subsidy as do most tenants.
Brilliant analysis from @reggcohn, connecting the dots on profligate spending on energy consumption while starving health and education. As Mae West used to say - it ain't how big it is, it's how you use it. (The deficit, dears, the deficit!)

Great piece from @reggcohn Many takeaways for Governance, including at the Municipal level. therecord.com/politics/polit…
Technology and democracy are increasingly at cross-purposes: control of technology is too often concentrated in a small number of companies, with bad actors using it to divide people.

Thanks @reggcohn 4 illuminating that @fordnation is “King of the Carbon Tax”. His scrapping of cap and trade in 2018 triggered the federal Carbon Tax. As a populist, he has been playing voters’ contradictory anger of the tax and desire for Climate Action. torontostarreplica.pressreader.com/article/281599…

At a recent gathering of Canadian professors who focus on China, @reggcohn urged us to present our research in publicly accessible forms. I find op-ed writing to be difficult but agree with Martin's call to action. Hope to see more op-eds from my fellow Canadian Sinologists.
Some news about me: Today is my last day at The Globe. I'm retiring after 39.5 years. I feel so fortunate to have called The Globe home all these years. It simply doesn’t get any better than working alongside many of the best reporters and editors in Canada.
Presenting @PBethlenfalvy, the man in the middle of a muddle. Beautifully written, @reggcohn. Even if I had to look up "impecunious".
At the Toronto Star’s editorial board, @PBethlenfalvy cast himself as a prudent steward of Ontario's treasury. Yet as Doug Ford's longest-serving finance minister, he presides over tax-cutting, crowd-pleasing impulses that don't add up. Today's column: thestar.com/politics/ontar…
