The province appointing the District Chair and giving them strong chair powers circumvents our local democracy. In 2022, Bracebridge recorded the lowest voter turnout we've ever had, at only 36%. Let's bring that number back up and show our support for local democracy. What would encourage you to participate in democratic process and/or how do you want to find out about municipal election information?

Free fishing starts tomorrow and goes until July 5th in Ontario. It's a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the many lakes and rivers that Muskoka has to offer, and a reminder that we need to take care of our waterways if we want to keep enjoying them for generations to come.

Did the rainbow coloured OPSEU flags get "colour corrected" out of existence? This is a shameful attempt to control the narrative, and I'm glad the public has seen through it. I stood with Developmental Services Local 305 at their picket line again this morning during week 5 of their strike as they fight for fair wages.

The Ford government says a Ford Fest photo wasn't edited to make protesters look like supporters. CBC's Fact Check team compared the image to footage from the event and found OPSEU members in purple protest shirts appeared blue in the version shared online by two PC MPPs.

The explanation? A "standard" colour correction to remove an orange hue.

The controversy is drawing comparisons to a tactic many Canadians will recognize from Donald Trump's political playbook. Trump repeatedly fixated on crowd sizes and was criticized for using edited, cropped, or selectively presented images to create the impression of larger support and minimize visible opposition.

Whether it's Washington or Queen's Park, the underlying issue is the same: when political leaders feel the need to alter the visual record of an event, what are they trying to convince the public not to see?

The irony is hard to miss. This comes as the Ford government moves to restrict public access to records through changes to Ontario's FOI laws, while CBC journalists continue to use on-the-ground reporting, video evidence, and fact-checking to verify official claims.

If a crowd is already on your side, why would its appearance need correcting at all?
