Blair is the best!

Thank you, TVO for supporting equality and live entertainment!

I used to repair water and wastewater treatment plant equipment, and there was this one reserve that had equipment, but they had no budget to maintain it. The federal government is willing to release some of the band's old own money to them to build a plant because they get to have a photo op when the plant opens, but they aren't willing to pay enough to have long-term staff and spare parts on hand to maintain it and keep it working. So at this particular reserve there was this young woman, And her job was garbage collection and I think snow removal and also water treatment plant maintenance. So she would literally run from her truck to each garbage can to try to bank a little extra time so she could work on the water system, otherwise she had no time to do it. She's an absolute hero.

I am curious when it’s ice and snow why can’t they use that water and boil it . Many countries do that

big deal money trudeau uses that in one night fix the water

very important story needs to be talked about

slow as can be

@tvo this episode would have been far better with Paikin. Give your head a shake. Dude from T-bay was the only one with interesting insights. Does ON. Have a culture? Currently: No, but historically yes. Upper Canada is the English Tory counterweight to a Francophone Quebec. A chance to make a home for displaced loyalists fleeing the United States. Property rights, English common law, responsible government (eventually) are high level group attributes. More subtly, work ethic, religion (Protestantism) all worked their way through laws and the institution building that have happened since. This was a main component of Canadian expansion in the west as well (not BC, however). These were the seeds that helped create some of the other provinces that have since created their own distinct expressions. The 1960s was the last gasp of that culture. The Classical Tory ideals that informed all the institutions created then have now become a-cultural and political. Oh, and thanks for have a montrealee on to talk about Ontario. You had to make sure QC had some input. ;) In this age of trump we need to find a new middle. Identify is important because it’s what keeps this insane system still going. We’ve been shattered. Build a new middle without the BS. Have a nice day.

Know your history Ontario was created to get Canada out of it legal obligations with the six nations treaties ie Haldimand Tract proclamation some 240 years ago. Also the Ojibwe signed their land claims to the six nations and the Crown and are on record in the signing that they didn't originally own the land but where stewards of it and the six nations are the OG which are on record in the 1701 Albany treaty... Gotta remember the 1876 Indian act was signed in a few months before Ontario became a place and this is also after Canada went and made all the number treaties with the Indians of these lands which they did break number 6 of pretty quick...

Ontario's Identity : CARS and CARS and CARS, and highways and CARs

The concept of "identity" will be looked back on as the mullet of modern times.

Liberal woke self centered Toronto, boring pretentious Ottawa ,cottage country, farms smaller cities all immigrants …and no Ontario thinks it’s representative off all of Canada but it’s not the center of the universe …

east indian identity lol

Yes. Ontario is a lab experiment to answer this question: What happens when a culture engages in massive levels immigration from hostile cultures while the media and education systems ingrains in those hostile newcomers that the current citizens are extreme rac1sts and thieves that stole the land from the real owners. Enjoy !

Not since the 80's. Manitoulin born.

No we are Canadians and that is a great thing. Less division please!

Why should this be an issue to discuss? Did we solve ALL of our other problems: housing, hallway healthcare, inequality etc etc Why are some people obsessed with identity, and want to see the world through that. And they would go as far a creating one of it's not there.

As a Quebecker, Ontario for me is "vanilla Canada". Neither Aboriginal Canada, nor Coastal Canada, nor European Canada, nor Prairies Canada, nor Pacific Canada, just Canada Canada. Although, "urban" is probably the distinctive characteristic that comes to my mind when thinking Ontario, even though there are urban areas in other provinces, it's on another scale in Ontario.

I’ve lived in 5 provinces and Ontario isn’t “emblematic of Canada.” Sorry folks, not even close. Only someone who doesn’t know the county would say something like. Imagine, Ontario is emblematic of Newfoundland! Give me a break. Or Quebec! It’s laughable, but it’s that arrogance/ignorance that pisses other Canadians off and IS the Ontario identity to the rest of Canada.

If Canada was a car, Ontario would be the engine. The heart and the soul. We have it all from nature to big cities to being super multicultural. We are like New York, California or Texas 👍

we’re between the 2 sides of Canada with an identity.

No. We used to. We were kind the hips from all over the world. It used to be a meeting place. So manny cultures and everyone brought the best on everyone. Somehow, the same diversity that made us glue together and embrace who we are. Now make us hate each other and everyone that is not from our groupie and background. Toronto is a hate melting pot.

Car-tario. We make cars, we drive cars, we sit in cars in traffic, we go to Timmy's drive-thrus Car-tario

no

We drive a lot. From long commutes to regular road trips to Florida or elsewhere in North America. Suffering in traffic is our identity.
