š§µ Ajaxās own MPP decided to take a non-essential trip outside of the country while our town moved from Red to Lockdown.
I donāt even know where to start on this. Rules for me and not for thee? Financial privilege in action? Getting away from the āplebsā in Ajax? #onpoli 1/x

Yet you decided to leave Canada for a non-essential vacation during a global pandemic. #onpoli 6/x
Not flying around the world. #onpoli 8/x
Yes, all of it.
Ajax needs to take note of what their MPP did at the peak of the second wave of a deadly pandemic.
Leaders set priorities. Leaders get things done. @RodPhillips01 is not a leader. #onpoli 10/10 š§µ

Business owners are struggling because of #COVID19. I\u2019m glad I had the opportunity to check in with some of our local #Ajax businesses earlier this month to see how they are doing. Support is available. Please visit https://t.co/PsF17dNegX for details. pic.twitter.com/hvPKo372Wa

Here again is a summary of the Christian Abolitionistsā arguments against enslaversā appeals to the Scripture: Thread
Slavery is not a sin. It is never outlawed by the Bible. Manstealing is but not slavery.

Murdering babies and sodomy are sins according the the Bible. YOU don't get to make up things as you go Dolly, neither do I or Malachi.
My reporting here convinced me that there's no large effect in either direction on labor force participation from child allowances. Canada has a bigger one than either Romney or Biden are considering, and more labor force participation among women.
But what if that wasn't true?
Forcing parents into low-wage, often exploitative, jobs by threatening them and their children with poverty may be counted as a success by some policymakers, but itās a sign of a society that doesnāt value the most essential forms of labor.
The problem is in the very language we use. If I left my job as a New York Times columnist to care for my 2-year-old son, Iād be described as leaving the labor force. But as much as I adore him, there is no doubt Iād be working harder. I wouldn't have stopped working!
I tried to render conservative objections here fairly. I appreciate that @swinshi talked with me, and I'm sorry I couldn't include everything he said. I'll say I believe I used his strongest arguments, not more speculative ones, in the piece.
I appreciate his intellectual curiosity and effort. I have quibbles. But my big disappointment is there was no mention of unintended consequences, which we discussed and which are kind of THE core conservative concern on this issue.
