Congratulations! Proud to say that it is a "good" record amidst a pandemic year.

Yes! But we can't manufacture products when #intellectualproperty rights are owned by foreign entities! We need to own #madeinontario #madeincanda #patents!! How come only 2% of SMEs in Canada hold patents? How come BlackBerry is still Canada's #1 patent filer? #onpoli #cdnpoli
There is nothing we can’t manufacture right here in Ontario. As long as I’m Premier, I will do everything I can to make sure that the health and safety of Ontarians does not lie outside of our great province.

I agree that when countries are playing by the rules, a "COVID Open license" model works but... when the #TrumpAdministration cheats, then countries such as Canada, Australia and others must not stay in the sidelines. Compulsory licensing in this situation may just save lives!

It is quite regrettable but necessary!
So sorry to have to announce this- but sadly inevitable given the current circumstances-hope you and your families all stay safe and well @LESIntl

Go #3M Canada! Stay strong.
It is in times like these that we can differentiate the good from the bad; Trump and the Trump administration you are not entering in the "good" category. When you hit your friends, they remember. Who was there to assist the US with 9-11 (in Gander), who…lnkd.in/dQm_EKZ

Redistricting won't happen this year, but thanks to the efforts of @NotPoliticians and the millions of Michiganders who recognized the need for fair representation, we are able to have a politically neutral commission redraw fair districts for 2022
