1640694560761479174 | “Maybe one isn’t needed here, because an epitaph will do: when we needed strong leadership, we had Doug Ford and Merrilee Fullerton.” from @mattgurney. How much blame should Merrilee Fullerton get for the disasters on her watch? | TVO Today https://t.co/3tSw9Cy2Ry | 44 |
1640526621420720128 | "When we needed strong leadership, we had Doug Ford and Merrilee Fullerton." — @mattgurney #onpoli https://t.co/pd8yRPP8gh | 12 |
1640481320655806464 | Merrilee Fullerton was the minister for LTC when COVID struck. Her tenure provides an example not of what leaders should emulate — but of what they should avoid, writes @mattgurney #onpoli https://t.co/pd8yRPP8gh | 8 |
1641178712703107073 | @mattgurney I think a convoy organizer spent more time in jail than this dude. Politics and law enforcement in Canada are vile. | 8 |
1641568485376671744 | The city is staring down a massive budget shortfall, and no one’s rushed to the rescue. So it’s time for Toronto to fix itself, writes @mattgurney #topoli https://t.co/ZrWOJTYhPW | 7 |
1641514613505155076 | No money for Toronto from the province or the feds? Good — by @mattgurney #topoli #cdnpoli https://t.co/ZrWOJTXK0o | 6 |
1639990594159398913 | How’s this for a slogan: “Your new mass-transit system, brought to you by the same people overseeing our dysfunctional health-care system.” — @mattgurney #onpoli #topoli https://t.co/wAgcKtZ03s | 5 |
1641412596745089026 | @mattgurney This paragraph, ooof: “The judge would also later face criticism after being accused of wanting to conduct Stelwagen’s sentencing hearing remotely while allegedly on vacation in Barbados at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2021.” | 4 |
1640414253445271553 | "When we needed strong leadership, we had Doug Ford and Merrilee Fullerton." The latest from @mattgurney for @tvo: https://t.co/Jkr17WdmGD | 4 |
1640698998934601728 | @WendyGoodes @TheAgenda @mattgurney When you need to hide the files of #23 alleged homicides in LTC from starvation & dehydration, call the Queen of Senecide. Why doesn’t anyone ever go digging for these files? I know where they are. Dr. Dirk Huyer was given the task of making them go away. They died 3 yrs ago. | 3 |

1641195804936339460 | @mattgurney Panelist on 1010 this morning stated that the accused in Toronto subway murder had never been accused of anything violent. She didn't know, didn't care, but had a point of view and won't change it in the face of actual facts. This is part of the problem. | 34 |
1641183368070021122 | @mattgurney Maybe bringing back Psychiatric Hospitals and Drug & Alcohol Rehab centers might be a good thing? Instead of leaving these people on the streets? | 31 |
1641177941873762304 | @mattgurney A close relative of mine is incarcerated for his third brutal attack. He got two years less a day because he pled guilty. People get longer than that for non violent crimes. So I just don't understand.... | 28 |
1641176432075481090 | @mattgurney Canada's gotten horrendously stabby as of late. | 24 |
1641187896576339968 | @Matt18548209 @mattgurney People who have demonstrated a pattern of unlawful violent behaviour should have their freedom taken from them. | 23 |
1640819288939565059 | @bobby_jinn @mattgurney @globalnews @scoopercooper Interesting how some people seem to believe that a person filing a lawsuit is absolute proof of their innocence. | 22 |
