It is now time for oral questions. I recognize the member for Brampton Center. Thank you, and good morning, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier. Kalpash Palmer is a 46-year-old father of two. He has worked as a security guard for the last six years. Kalpash says before the new decent work laws, when I had back pain, I couldn't afford to get treatment. We didn't have bargaining protection. Now we do, and the quality of life is better. Speaker, now that the Premier has said that he'll scrap the rules that provide these protections for workers across our province, what does the Premier have to say to workers like Kalpash? Through you, Mr. Speaker, and to the member of Brampton Center, what I have to say to your friend there that came up to you is they can expect, they can expect to hold on to their job instead of losing their job. TD economics came out and said there's going to be 80,000 to 90,000 people that are going to lose their job. I'm guessing already 60,000 people have already lost their jobs. What we can tell your friend and Brampton Center is that their gas prices just dropped down five cents per liter because of the cap and trade. You can tell your friend he's actually going to save $850 because he won't be on the tax roll anymore. They'll have zero tax. You can tell your friend that when he goes to pay his hydro bill, it's going to be down $280. We've saved $750 million a year. You know something, Mr. Speaker? My daughter, my daughter sent over her union gas. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Very much, Mr. Speaker. I can appreciate the comments that the Premier is making, but let's hear a little bit more from CalPresh. Before the minimum wage increase, it was very hard to survive. When buying anything, I had to think, is it necessary for me? I can't think of the last time I even bought myself a new T-shirt. Since the Premier has never once spoken with anyone about his plans to tear up the new rules, especially people that would actually benefit from a higher minimum wage or paid sick days or emergency leave, what does the Premier say to CalPish and the 1.7 million workers just like him? Through you, Mr. Speaker, and what the member from Brampton Center did have an opportunity to do, that we had an opportunity, but their leader did, is go around the province and talk to small business owners that laid people off, talk to restaurants, talk to little home hardware that laid people off. Thousands and thousands of businesses across this province, people lost their jobs. Because you can't, I know the opposition doesn't understand economics, but you can automatically in one year increase salaries by 22 percent and then increase them 32 percent. Just imagine if everyone's cost increased by 32 percent. It's not realistic. We're going to create good paying jobs. We're going to make sure that the part-time person gets treated very well. But you have to keep in mind the person that's been working there 15 years. You can't treat a part-time or the same way you treat someone that's been... Thank you. Final supplementary. Mr. Premier, Premier Kalpesh is one of a million Ontario workers who move this province forward every single day. He doesn't get invited to your consultations, but he works hard and plays by the rules. Is it too much to ask that he be allowed to take a sick day without worrying about lost pay and how he's going to cover his bills at the end of the month? Or an emergency day during a family crisis? Or that he earn a $15 minimum wage? Premier, is that too much to ask for workers across this province? Premier. To you, Mr. Speaker, we're going to protect Kalpesh. We're going to protect people like that by, again, lowering their taxes, saving on that green energy scam the millions and millions of dollars that the province wasted. $750 million on the hydro, just $750 million on the hydro alone. We're going to create good paying jobs until Kalpesh doesn't have to stay on minimum wage. He can work his way up the ladder. He can be a manager. I've seen it over and over again in business. Someone might start at a lower level, work their way up the middle manager, manager, and then they could be running the show. That's what democracy is about. That's what free enterprise is about, is giving everyone an opportunity to grow. We live in the greatest country, the greatest province in the world. Start the clock. The member for tonight, Hamilton West and Kester Dundas. Mr. Speaker, and my question is for the Premier. In the city of Hamilton, a code zero is issued when there's only one ambulance available, or in fact, none at all. Can the Premier please tell us how many code zeroes were issued last week in the city of Hamilton? Premier. Minister of Community Safety Services. Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you for the question. We take public safety as a paramount concern in the province. One of the things that we do is ensure that we provide the resources to our frontline officers and the people that provide frontline services to ensure that they have the ability to do their jobs. That's something that we've done, we will continue to do, and we will continue to provide those services and that support to make sure that the frontline responders, all of our frontline responders, have the ability to complete and do their work. Supplementary. The attempt at an answer, but this is about healthcare, not about safety and security. The city of Hamilton in fact experienced five code zero events last week. Thursday's code zero lasted more than two hours, and Hamilton's chief paramedic says it's an issue of hospital flow. Patients are stuck waiting on stretchers for more than two hours while hospitals scramble to find space. Premier, we know this isn't new. Where is the plan to deal with this ongoing crisis? Mr. Speaker, I'm going to refer the matter to the Minister of Tourism. The Minister of Tourism. Thank you. Code zeroes happening in our hospitals throughout the province. We understand that. We also understand that the city of Hamilton is actually responsible for their ambulance services. We will work with those partners. We will ensure that they get the resources they need. But let's be clear. This is not a new problem. This is not just happening this weekend, Speaker. This is a 15-year problem that's going to take some time. We're going to get it right. Start the clock. Final supplementary. Issue for tourism, but I would suggest maybe this government might want to take a tour of some of the hospitals in Ontario. For example, it was at 104% capacity on Thursday. A Thundermaze hospital just reported that they were operating over capacity 94% of the time. These hospitals are saying that repackaging the same old liberal announcements won't get people out of hospital hallways. When are we going to see a plan? I'm not presupposed to try to figure out how the opposite party organizes themselves, but I can assure you that a Doug Ford government works as a team. We are our municipal partners, including the city of Hamilton, to ensure they have the resources they need. But to be clear, this is not a new problem. 50, and this is what you're dealt with. If you'd like to ask why the liberals ignored it for 15 years, go right ahead. But in our first 100 days, we are dealing with the issues that the people of Ontario expect us to deal with, including hallway medicine. Next question, the member for Nickelbelt. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier. Hamilton Mayor noted that his community still doesn't know whether they're going to get any of the $90 million search capacity hospital funding announcement. It's a concern that I've heard over and over, from Thunder Bay to Ottawa to Hamilton, and every community's in between. Can the Premier provide any details as to where the $90 million in search capacities for a hospital that he announced? Where are the money going to be spent? Tourism, culture, and sport. Now, when we announced the surge funding, we did it with the cooperation and feedback from the local lins, because we need to make sure that that surge funding is going to the communities that are most in need. I'm actually very proud of the fact that I spent last week in my constituency talking to the people in my writing, and they said, good on you for finally actually doing something before the flu season becomes a problem, and people continue to be treated in all ways. We are proactively trying to deal with that. We've chosen certain areas throughout the province where we already see, through the work of the lins, that there are going to be problems. Historically, there have been problems, and that's why we've chosen the communities that we've had. It's only a first step, but it's an important first step, and it sends the message that we are on the job, and we want to protect this stuff before the flu season is upon us. Supplementary. Back to the Premier. The Premier's $90 million commitment won't stretch very far. Last year, Kathleen Nguyen flu season funding didn't make a dent in hallway medicine. The Premier's plan is $10 million less than last year, while more of our hospitals, over half of them actually, are now operating in over-capacity status every single night. And that's before you consider the impact of healthcare cuts. Does the Premier really think that $90 million to cover the surge linked to the flu season will end hallway medicine, or will improve the situation in our overcrowded hospitals? That we refer to other members not by their given names, but by their writing names or their ministry title. Response. Minister. Please, Speaker, I must correct the member opposite. This is new money. This is very actively getting the resources in place so that hospitals like Bridgepoint, North Bay Regional Healthcare Center, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences, Pine Villa, Cooksville Care Center, Humber River Hospital can prepare appropriately for the flu season, and so that we can stop treating our parents, our grandparents in hallways and in closets. It's inappropriate. It shouldn't be happening. And last week's announcement was a first step towards that change. Start the clock. Next question. The member for Kitchener Conestoga. My question is to the Minister of Finance. Our government is committed to putting more money back into people's pockets. For the last 15 years, the previous Liberal government took every opportunity to tax the hardworking people of Ontario. The pattern was clear. The Liberals would tax and the Liberals would spend. And the people of Ontario would lose. I'm both happy and relieved our government is putting an end to the Liberals' reckless tax and spend policies. For example, last week, our government announced our intention to halt the beer tax increase. Could the Minister please explain his intention to stop the cost of beer from going up and how this will save the people of Ontario more money? Thank you, Minister of Finance. Thank you, Speaker. And thank you to the member from Kitchener Conestoga for the question. Every year, for the past three years, the Liberals have increased the beer tax on November 1. They took every opportunity to squeeze more money out of the hardworking people across our province, all in an effort to keep up with their reckless spending. Last week, our government announced our intention to put an end to yet another Liberal cash grab. Our plan proposes to stop the $0.03 per litre tax hike on beer on November 1. Instead, we're letting the people of Ontario hold on to more of their hard-earned money. The days of the tax and spend Liberals are over. We're respecting the taxpayer. We're lowering taxes. And we're putting more money in people's pockets every single chance we get, Speaker. Restart the clock. Supplementary. Thank you, Speaker. And thank you to the Minister for his response. I'm thrilled to be part of a government that is putting the people first. An annual beer tax hike that is nothing more than an opportunity for the Liberals to finance their reckless spending and failed policies. It's about time the people of Ontario get relief they deserve. For too long, taxpayer's pockets were treated like a piggy bank. The Liberals were taking whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. I'm proud our government is doing things differently. I'm proud our government is respecting the taxpayer. The beer tax hike was just another example of the Liberals making life more unaffordable for Ontario families. Could the Minister further explain why the plan to stop the beer tax hike increase is necessary? Minister. Thank you, Speaker. Our proposed plan to stop the beer tax hike is part of our commitment to putting more money in people's pockets. Speaker, we're bringing relief to the people of Ontario every single chance we get. We've introduced legislation to scrap, cap, and trade, which, if passed, would bring further relief at the pump and in families' wallets. We've rolled back increases for driver's license renewal fees. We've cancelled expensive wind and solar projects in order to bring down hydro rates. Every single decision we make and every single dollar we spend is for the people. The beer tax is no different. We will continue to provide way we can and let the hardworking people of Ontario keep more money in their pockets, Speaker. Next question. Start the clock. The member for Essex. Thank you very much, Speaker. Speaker, my question is to the Premier. Speaker, as the Premier knows, Faith Goldie is a neo-Nazi sympathizer who the Premier posed for photos with at an event several weeks ago. Now that photo is being used on campaign advertising to promote Faith Goldie's campaign as Toronto Mayor. Speaker, the people of Ontario want to know, did the Premier give permission for his image to be used in Faith Goldie's campaign advertising? Premier, I thought you wanted to talk about policies. For you, Mr. Speaker, I can tell you, I'm not going down that alley again. I'll tell you where I'm going. I look forward to working with the next Mayor of Toronto. I look forward to working with a reduced size of council and a functional council before to get transit built, to get housing built, to actually save the taxpayers some money. Believe me, I know that game at City Hall, like the back of my hand, Mr. Speaker, and hopefully they're going to get things done once and for all. Supplementary. Thank you, Speaker. Speaker, the advertisement in question is in Chinese and that's especially concerned in giving that other among other hateful things. Faith Goldie has recently stated, quote, that Toronto shouldn't be a suburb of Beijing. She's implying that she has the endorsement of this Premier. And the Premier now again has a chance to clear the air. It shouldn't be this hard, Speaker. It can't be this hard. Will the Premier unequivocally denounce Faith Goldie and apologize for appearing in a photo that is now being used as a de facto endorsement of her death aim from the Premier of this province? Minister of Community and Social Services. Minister of Children and Community and Social Services. But this Premier has disavowed that individual no less than 20 times in this assembly. For Flamborough Glamdwork, please come to order. Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, come to order. Member for Hamilton East, Stony Creek, come to order. Start the clock. The member for Simcoe North. For the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Minister, our brave, dedicated and hardworking frontline officers and emergency responders have faced incredible pressure due to constant failures associated with their communications network known as the Public Safety Radio Network. Our dedicated frontline officers and emergency responders deserve to know that our government is listening to them and remains committed to providing them with the tools they need to perform their duties safely and effectively. Ontarians also deserve to know that their government is able to provide them with the level of public safety they expect us to provide them with. To the Minister, can you please update the members of this legislature on the current state of Ontario's Public Safety Radio Network? Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to the member of Simcoe North for the question. Mr. Speaker, the Ontario Public Safety Network has been left in a terrible state of disrepair. The last time the network was replaced was back in 1998. The project is long overdue. We're taking real action to ensure that our government can provide the people of this great province with the level of public safety they expect us to provide them with. Due to the current state of the PSRN, any delay in modernizing the system increases the risk to public safety as a result of radio failures. So it's critical that we move forward with this project as soon as possible. The safety of Ontarians will always be our first priority. A mitigation strategy has now been put in place to ensure the current radio network can still be used until the new system is phased in in 2021. Public safety is a top priority, Mr. Speaker, of this government and we will do everything in our power to ensure that the radio network is up and running and working for all Ontarians. Speaker, I want to thank the minister for his response and for working to keep our frontline officers and communities safe. It is unacceptable to hear the previous liberal government ignored such important communications infrastructure for so long. It is very reassuring to hear that our government for the people has moved so quickly to ensure that our frontline officers and emergency personnel are able to better communicate and respond to emergency situations. I'm also pleased to learn that a mitigation strategy has been put in place while the network is being modernized to ensure the safety of families and communities across Ontario. To the minister, could you please tell the members of this legislature how long it will take to modernize the public safety radio network? Minister. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you for that follow-up question. Our government for the people acted as quickly as possible to ensure that the provinces public safety radio network could be replaced and modernized to keep Ontario's communities safe. This project is a massive undertaking. The technology that provides essential public safety radio coverage across the province will be rebuilt by this government. Mr. Speaker, the new network will be a 15-year service agreement to ensure that our network remains up to date and in good repair. In addition, funding has been set aside to improve the existing legacy system during the transition to the new system. Mr. Speaker, our frontline and emergency responders do some of the most dangerous work in the province. They need to have the tools and resources in place to do their jobs. Our government for the people is making sure that they have the necessary tools to be able to do their jobs safely. Thank you. Next question, the member for Orléans. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Ministers of Public Security and Community Safety. The cancellation of certification requirements for firefighters make absolutely no sense. In response to several tragic incidents and recommendations from corners in quest and the request of firefighters mandatory training requirements were put in place. Mandatory training is not just red tape like the conservative likes to refer. It keeps firefighters and the community safe as they serve. In fact, Rob Einman, the President of the Ontario Professional Firefighters Association said that these regulations were necessary to save lives. Mr. Speaker, we have seen what happens when rules to keep people safe are called red tapes by the conservatives. So does the Minister believe that his government's assistance on cutting so-called red tape is worth the lives of Ontario's firefighters? Good question. Minister of Community Safety. Mr. Speaker, listening to the question begs me to ask the question back. What exactly is it that they are trying to do? What we are trying to do as a government is be responsible and ensure that our firefighters are safe. What that means is that we will look at certification but what we are also doing is listening to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and at their annual conference we heard from them and from other stakeholders including fire chiefs that the certification regulation would create significant challenges for fire services and municipalities in particularly small, rural and northern municipalities with volunteer firefighters. Firefighters and municipalities have expressed concern with the resources and supports that were required to be compliant with the certification requirements and the potential longer term. Thank you. Thank you. Supplementary. So Mr. Speaker, actually I'm happy about the answer that the Minister is saying because actually we were going the former government that was here confirmed to the AMO to every single individual who were consulted for the past 18 months on this at a fire table at expert fire so AMO was there the volunteer firefighter was there the fire chief were there every single individual were sitting at this table and we came to the table saying that we were going to help our most vulnerable, rural and far away community Mr. Speaker so again to the Minister what's the cost of firefighters and I want to remind everyone in Ontario the cost of safety when you go to the barber or to your hairdresser they actually have a minimum requirement of standard so again to the Minister what are you going to do to help firefighters in this province to keep them safe? Minister. Mr. Speaker our government is a responsible government and will work with the firefighters the municipalities and listening to the former liberal caucus talk about the fact that they were going to spend all this money well let me remind you about the $354 billion debt and let me also remind you of the $15 billion deficit that we operate with the reality of the situation is we are listening to the stakeholders we are listening to the fire chiefs and I've had numerous discussions where they've told me and congratulated our government for taking the lid off of a boiling pot we are working with the firefighters and we will give them real results Restart the clock I recognize the member for Toronto Denton Thank you Speaker Speaker my question for the Minister of the Environment Conservation and Parks last week the UN's intergovernmental panel on climate change released its latest report 90 scientists reviewed over 6,000 climate studies to compile the world's most comprehensive understanding of the risks we face from climate change it's conclusion we need to keep the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees if we're to avoid the most catastrophic impacts Ontario once had a plan to mitigate climate change then the Premier ripped up the plan and replaced it with nothing Did the Minister read the conclusions reached by the IPCC and if so how is it acceptable that Ontario no longer has a climate plan Mr Speaker through to the member and I thank him for the question as the member knows this is a 700 page study it is a study that's being reviewed now by the ministry team and like all the other information will be integrated into our plan our planning for a plan that works not the cap and trade carbon tax plan that was rejected by the people of Ontario but a plan that works but Mr Speaker I'll tell you what is really shocking is that the previous government supported 97% by the NDP did not prepare a comprehensive climate review in terms of the impacts on the province of Ontario I was shocked to find that with all of the tension paid to it and supported 97% of the time by the NDP that there's no comprehensive review of how we're going to deal with these impacts Mr Speaker climate change is real our plan will deal with the impacts unlike the previous government Speaker back to the minister the NDP supports climate action that is fair, effective and transparent the minister doesn't seem to support climate action at all Ontario's environment commissioner said and I quote Ontario has got it most of its climate change programs unquote when so much is at stake why is the minister gutting Ontario's climate change action plan without putting forward an alternative plan Mr Speaker through you to the member climate change is real and we are addressing it but we're addressing it with an effective made in Ontario plan Mr Speaker there are two things that are clear first we need to build resilience we need to understand the impacts of climate change because it's happening second we need to deal with reductions in greenhouse gases but reductions that provide a balance a balance between a healthy economy and a healthy environment our made in Ontario plan will bring forward those changes and we'll look forward to the member's comments when the plan is released next question the member for Willowdale thank you Mr Speaker my question is for the wonderful and talented Attorney General we know that the Trudeau government has mandated that recreational cannabis be legal across Canada on October 17th and I know that our government has been hard at work developing a plan that ensures our province is ready for legalization this Wednesday a plan that will protect our children keep our roads and communities safe and combat the illegal market but I also know that many parents and young people in my riding of Willowdale still have questions about what the federal liberal government's legalization of this drug means and what it'll mean for families and their communities I know our government has made many announcements on this topic which have been helpful but I'm wondering if the Attorney General can highlight any further places that people may be able to ask more about the government's plan The Attorney General Mr. Speaker I'd like to thank the member from Willowdale for his question with the federal government's legalization of cannabis only two short days away on October 17th I would like to start by reassuring this chamber and all Ontarians that this province will be ready and young people have questions about the federal government's legalization policy as a mother of four children myself I have thought about how this policy will affect my family and so I know that like so many others I'd like to have as much information as possible about how to navigate these waters which is why I'm happy to share with the House that we have launched a public awareness campaign aimed at informing Ontarians especially parents and young people about the new legal framework for the purchase and consumption of recreational cannabis about the dangers associated with drug impaired driving and highlighting the health risks to consumers and over the coming months we will be rolling out more and more ads that will be accessible and a parent for people where they live and commute Thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you to the minister I know that the parents of my riding will be relieved to know that the government is providing resources that they can turn to when they have questions these are certainly uncharted waters and it's reassuring to know that we have a government that takes this matter and the protection of our young people very seriously Mr. Speaker the minister mentioned the purpose of the public awareness campaign was to highlight the rules around recreational cannabis use in Ontario Can the minister outline how the new plan will better inform families and commuters on how to be safer in our communities and on our roads Attorney General Mr. Speaker I'd be happy to provide the member from Willardale with more information These ads will focus on social responsibility including the serious health and addiction risks of short and long-term cannabis use They will not promote cannabis use Our message will remain simple and clear We will plainly tell Ontarians how our children our communities and our roads will be protected and how we will work to combat the illegal market The deterring effects of our zero tolerance policies will be also amplified through these ads which will work to educate people about the dangers of driving impaired and stiff penalties No matter where or how you hear about our government's plans our commitment to protecting youth keeping our communities and our roads safe and fighting the illegal market will always be paramount I cannot stress this enough Mr. Speaker Ontario is ready for the federal government's finalization of recreation Next question The member for Brampton East My question is to the Minister of Finance Ontarians living in areas like Brampton Scarborough Humber River Black Creek and York Southwestern pay disproportionately higher auto insurance premiums than drivers in any other neighbourhood in the GTA This is simply not okay Ontario families are to pay enough and we must stop auto insurance companies from gouging families merely based on the neighbourhood that they live in Climbing daily expenses from auto insurance to hydro to housing are pushing families past the breaking point We have to do better This is why I will be introducing my private members bill to end post-acord discrimination in auto insurance premiums Will the government support my private members bill or will they side with auto insurance companies over Ontario drivers Thank you to the member from Brampton East for the question It's clear that the liberal NDP system of failed stretch goals on auto insurance is broken We congratulate our PC member from Milton for his work on this file He will be introducing legislation that if passed will eliminate the unfair practice of postal code discrimination with respect to auto insurance rates His proposed initiative speaker is a great way to combat discrimination in our auto insurance system Once the member's legislation is tabled we look forward to working with him and the industry stakeholders to ensure our auto insurance system meets the needs of Ontario's 10 million drivers Speaker he has done this right He consulted with stakeholders right across the province and put forward a great private members bill Thank you supplementary Mr. Speaker Ontario has one of the lowest levels of auto accidents in Canada yet the most expensive auto insurance premiums While the government should be working hard to fix this situation the premier has instead continued with the liberal's policy which has failed drivers for too long and paved the way for a 9% increase in average premiums paid by drivers We need to be moving forward not backwards Will the government support my private members bill and stop allowing premiums to be based on where you live Thank you Speaker The previous liberal government backed by the NDP failed to deliver anything but stretch goals when it came to auto insurance rates Our member from from a Milton's bill Speaker our members from Milton's bill if passed the bill will end the unfair practice of discriminating against drivers simply based on where they live Our government for the people is committed to putting more money in people's pockets and this bill is another step towards doing that and we congratulate the member from Milton Member for Carleton Thank you Mr. Speaker My question is for the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister with the recent tornadoes that affected many families throughout Ottawa region we've heard of the many difficulties faced by our dedicated emergency responders during their response efforts The communications infrastructure that are hardworking frontline officers and emergency personnel rely upon to respond to emergency situations is in a terrible state of disrepair Speaker through you could the minister please explain to all members of this legislature what he is doing to ensure that Ontario's emergency communications infrastructure is improved Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you to the member from Carleton for the question As you've heard today our government has taken real action to address Ontario's crumbling public safety radio network a system relied upon by many of the province's frontline officers and emergency responders Replacing this outdated and ineffective radio network is critical to all emergency services throughout the province When Ottawa was shaken by the tragic tornadoes our hardworking and dedicated frontline officers and emergency responders were obstructed from performing their duties safely and effectively due to the frequent outages that affected the PSRN on a daily basis In an emergency situation Mr. Speaker regardless of where it is in the province communication between our frontline response emergency responders is a key component to ensuring public safety and to also keep our emergency responders safe Thank you supplementary Mr. Speaker I thank the minister for his response It's reassuring to know that our government for the people under Premier Ford's leadership is taking the necessary steps to ensure that public safety is enhanced and restored throughout the province Our hardworking and dedicated frontline officers and emergency personnel deserve to have the tools they need to keep all of Ontario's communities safe Minister as you know frontline officers and emergency personnel throughout the province rely upon Ontario's public safety radio network There has been constant concern over smaller rural and northern communities like Richmond, Metcalf and Osgood when it comes to having the necessary tools and resources to perform their duties safely and effectively To the minister Could you please explain how modernizing the public safety radio network will help those living in smaller rural and northern communities in my riding of Carlton and across this great province Thank you Minister Thank you for that very good question Let me start off by saying that the Ontario public safety radio network is relied upon by more than 38,000 emergency responders throughout the province It is the largest most complex net in all of North America But it was one of the last ones that has been left to comply with the P-25 standard in North America This modernization project will ensure that are more than 38,000 frontline officers and first responders including OPP officers paramedics hospital staff fire services provincial highway maintenance staff and even the provinces conservation officers can count on communications infrastructure network and equipment they need when they respond to emergencies This project will assist our hardworking frontline officers in an emergency responders throughout the province becoming better equipped to keep our communities and families and businesses safe Thank you Next question The member for Parkdale High Park Thank you Speaker My question is to the Premier A fully equipped medical trailer for overdose prevention in my riding of Parkdale High Park sits unused As the weather worsens volunteers who maintain the overdose prevention site decided last week that they had to close in order to keep the community safe 189 people and counting have died in the 10 weeks since the government started its unnecessary review given the evidence is already very clear Speaker with no sign of a decision will the Premier finally tell the people of Parkdale High Park if the previously approved permanent site can operate safely and openly yes or no Premier Minister of Tourism Minister of Tourism Culture and Sport Thank you The member opposite understands that we requested an extension from the federal government to study the problem and make sure we got it right as the as the speaker knows we received that extension from the federal government we're going to study it we're going to get it right I think it's very important for people to understand any discussion about mental health addictions must include a conversation about opioid crisis Thank you Back to the Premier People are dying while this government dithers three people a day die from preventable overdoses Regardless of whether the Premier is quote dead set and quote against these sites it is a proven harm reduction tool that saves lives I ask again will the Premier allow health professionals already during the work of saving lives to do it safely from community health clinics yes or no Minister No I think the member opposite is frankly just reinforcing the point that we need to get this right this is not a knee-jerk reaction this is not a let's throw money at it I know it's always the NDP solution but frankly there are better ways order need to make sure that the treatment is in place we will study this and we will get it right and we will not be rushed order because you want to make a snap decision Next question the member for Northumberland Peterborough South Mr. Speaker Thank you Mr. Speaker my question is for the Minister of Economic Development Job Creation and Trade today marks the beginning of Small Business Week after 15 years of red tape over regulation and excessive taxation I know I speak on behalf of all the small businesses in my community when I say how special this small business week is we know Mr. Speaker businesses are the backbone of Ontario's economy small business owners are hardworking people they get up early they work late they take great risks and create jobs in communities across our great province our government is committed to helping small businesses success succeed create the right conditions and to help them thrive question when small businesses prosper Ontario prosper prospers could the minister please inform the legislature how our government for the people is helping small business owners after 15 years of hardship under the previous liberal government Minister of Economic Development Job Creation Mr. Speaker I thank my honourable colleague for this very important question yes this is a small business week in Ontario and we celebrate the jobs the food that's put on the table by our small businesses the families that have great lives those that come off welfare and work for business and make their way up as the Premier said but you know Mr. Speaker well this week is small business week officially every week is small business week we have over 400,000 small businesses in the province of Ontario and they account for about 90% of the actual businesses in our provinces Ontario's small businesses employing nearly 2 million people and our government is making sure making sure every day that they're able to thrive prosper and employ more Ontarians and we're doing that by scrapping the cap of trade if passed the green energy acts being scrapped if passed we remove the carbon tax from the price of natural gas lowered the gas tax by 4.3 cents with more to come Mr. Speaker committed to lowering corporate tax Thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you to the minister for his response Mr. Speaker our number one priority of this government is ensuring Ontario is open for business it easier in this province to grow a business by cutting red tape and regulatory burdens in fact the PA was just in my writing and held an excellent round table with small businesses on this very day we've heard from businesses across this province that they need relief business resources shouldn't be spent Mr. Speaker on improving and innovating not clearing regulatory hurdles far too many provincial regulations are inflexible inefficient and quite frankly duplicative question or simply out of date Mr. Speaker misaligned with so many jurisdictions across this country and we're paying higher bills for this could the minister of economic development job creation and trade please inform this legislature how our government for the people is Thank you again to my colleague for the question Mr. Speaker our government is taking serious action to reduce the burden of red tape and to send the message that Ontario is indeed open for business my parliamentary assistance Donna Kelly and our parliamentary assistant Mike Parsa Donna's been doing the free trade what's the effect of free trade that after negotiations on our small businesses and all our businesses and PA Mike Parsa's been doing an excellent job as was mentioned in the question listening to businesses so we can cut red tape Mr. Speaker we're not just having these meetings we're going to take the meetings that's what other governments do we're having these meetings so that we will cut red tape not down the center like 50% like so many cut it in half we're going to cut it right off in this province to appoint a special deputy minister to do exactly that to look at the regulatory burden in the province and historically Mr. Speaker we've saved small businesses and all businesses 1.5 miles thank you and the member for Windsor to come see Speaker my question is to the environment minister the former head of the OLG good morning minister Speaker the minister tweeted last week that he's cut a deal in his writing to keep 500 slot machines at Ajax Downs even though a new mega casino was opening up just 10 minutes away in pickering so Speaker what's the deal has the government reintroduced the slots at race tracks program right across the province or just in writings held by the cabinet ministers this is the environment conservation parks to the minister of finance I didn't know minister finance much for the question our government has kept its commitment to bolster the horse racing industry and repair the damage done by the previous liberal government with the support of the NDP Speaker agreements and principle have now been reached to keep slots operating in co-worth the downs and Ajax Downs and to provide additional funding to continue horse racing in Fort Erie and Dresden discussions continue with other race tracks in Ontario Speaker this commitment will directly support the horse racing industry and rural Ontario this is certainly another promise made promise kept well Speaker there's great confusion at co-worth the downs employees were locked out this morning the Premier said on Friday the slots would stay at co-worth the downs even though a new casino was opening up in Peterborough tonight but there seems to be a communications breakdown race track management has told the union if all of the slots aren't opened by tomorrow lay off notices will be issued the OLG and great Canadian gaming apparently aren't doing what the Premier said they were going to do Speaker who's calling the shots in this province the government or private casino operators thank you Speaker our government made a generous offer to all of the race tracks including offering the return of slots to Fort Erie and Dresden these race tracks in those areas made a business decision to take further enhanced funding as opposed to opening their slots Speaker we're committed to supporting horse racing in Ontario and we're listening to the needs of the industry stakeholders something that the member across the aisle should well do you know Speaker it's it's difficult when you deal with the NDP they deal in chaos we deal in confidence Speaker they deal in resistance we deal in question member for Markham Stovill thank you very much Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker my question today is for the Minister community community safety correctional services Minister I know the members for Simcoe North and Carlton have already asked this question but given how important the public safety network is to our frontline officers and our emergency service workers I think it bears asking again Mr. Speaker the system is in a terrible state of disrepair Mr. Speaker and we know how important this is for our frontline workers how important it is to keeping our communities across this province safe Mr. Speaker I wonder if the Minister could once again share with us what his ministry is doing to address this critical problem this critical lack of infrastructure that is so important for the people of Ontario Mr. Speaker thank you and correctional services Mr. Speaker and thank you to the member for that question last week as many of you know Mr. Speaker I was proud to stand alongside the premier of the province and the Minister of Economic Development job creation and trade to announce our government's plans to replace Ontario's crumbling public safety radio network as I stated there hasn't been an update to this network for over 20 years our network is crumbling to the extent that our emergency responders are scouring Kijiji justifying parts to keep their radios in working order this is simply unacceptable our government is taking action to ensure that more than 38,000 of our frontline workers can count on communications infrastructure network and equipment they need when responding to emergencies during the election campaign Mr. Speaker we committed to providing our frontline officers with the tools and resources they require to perform their duty safely and effectively promises made promises act here here supplementary thank you thank you Minister for the answer Mr. Speaker it's shocking really that Liberals both federally and provincially seem to take the safety and security of our province and country so lightly whether it was the decade of darkness for our Canadian Armed Forces that the federal Liberals gave us for 15 years to repair a public safety network and make investments in public safety Mr. Speaker that is completely unacceptable and part of the reason why the people of Ontario elected progressive Conservatives on this side of the house and on that side of the house to make these important changes Mr. Speaker it is absolutely disheartening it's disheartening to hear that our frontline officers and workers have to go out and buy spare parts to keep their radios working Mr. Speaker that's not what the people of Ontario expect and I'm very proud to be part of a government for the people Mr. Speaker that are making investments like this I wonder if the minister could share for the house and for the people of Ontario just why this is such an important investment to make in order to keep our community safe Minister to the minister of municipal affairs Mr. Minister of municipal affairs and how I want to thank the member for the question and I also want to thank our Premier and the minister of community safety and correctional services for their commitment and taking the necessary steps to modernize the province's public safety radio network so I want to thank them for that these upgrades are urgently urgently needed as was seen during the recent recent tornadoes that affected numerous families in the Ottawa region the PSRN is a vital tool used by our our emergency responders it assists with protecting the life safety of the general public and also the workers themselves that's why our government is now taking the necessary steps to modernize and to upgrade the province's public safety radio network so that we can prevent any further challenges faced by emergency responders and our municipal partners again I want to thank the Premier and the minister thank you thank you Mr. Speaker my question is to the minister of environment conservation and parks Mr. Speaker for five years I have stood in this house and said clearly that any long term future for the Fort Erie race track must include the return of slots the community and the town has said the same thing yet on Friday night after five o'clock this conservative government quietly put out a press release that said in a closed door deal the government would not returning the slots to Fort Erie instead instead they're going to give cash or a bio oh shame Mr. Mr. Speaker my question is simple when when did the minister or the Premier consult either an elected representative or the people of the town of Fort Erie on this deal when did you talk conservation and parks minister of finance minister of finance thank you very much for the question we are pleased that the member opposite recognizes finally recognizes the importance of the horse racing industry after the liberal government took it apart but only thanks to the support of the NDP however the member may want to take time to acknowledge the industry's real needs we made a generous offer to return slots to Fort Erie but the race track themselves made a business decision to accept enhanced funding instead we are committed to supporting the horse racing industry in Ontario the member opposite would be wise to listen to his own writing Mr. Speaker let me say very clearly I do not to take any lessons from that member on what to do on the race track in Fort Erie I've been fighting for that track for five years and to make sure we get the slots back that's what I've done and you know that as a member you know that Mr. Speaker back back to the environmental conservation parks for five years I have been clear the future of the Fort Erie race track must include slots and the jobs that would mean a lot of money revenue but also hundreds hundreds of new jobs for the town of Fort Erie jobs that the residents can raise their families on instead this closed door deal has resulted in the trade of dollars instead of slots the mayor the counselor my office didn't agree to this and most importantly the residents of Fort Erie were not even told about this so the people of Fort Erie can know will the minister reexamine this deal ensure that the slots can return to the Fort Erie race track just like the premier just like the premier promised thank you thank you oppositions come to order minister respond thank you very much once again our government has kept its commitment to bolster the horse racing industry and repair the damage done by the previous liberal government of the NDP we made a generous offer to return slots to Fort Erie but the race has come to order business decision to accept the enhanced funding instead this commitment will directly support the horse racing industry and rural communities our government made a generous offer to all of these race tracks including offering the return of slots to Fort Erie and Dresden speaker i'm gonna say it again the NDP deals in chaos we deliver confidence the NDP deals in resistance we will deliver results the period has expired the member for don valley east i just want to take a moment to recognize the students from domino's collegiate who were in the assembly today thank you very much i beg to inform the house that the following document has been tabled the 2016-2017 annual report of the office of the chief electoral officer of ontario there being no deferred votes point of order the member for king bond pardon me mr speaker i also want to recognize students from save raffle the archangel from vaughn who were with us earlier today there being no deferred votes this house is recessed until 1 p.m. this afternoon


We have taken, so far, putting maths in my head, I really struggled. Well, thank you. Do you know what, the power of editing, no one will ever know. We have taken eight fifty... We have taken minus four. This is it then. Oh, it's happening. The final episode of our Christmas special, finding the best feature. We haven't really agreed. No, we haven't agreed last year. We're not agreeing this year on what to call this, really. So far, we have taken 12 features. That's correct. And we have whittled them down to, well, two so far. Yes. And that is sharing on the web. Yeah. And background fetch. Yeah. So background fetch will have to endure another match before it gets to face sharing, or maybe not. Who knows? We will see. We have four features left. We've been picking these at random, which is why we're so scrappy at remembering them. But yeah, it's time to do the last four. Yeah, you start picking. Oh, it's me. Because of symmetry. Yes, excellent. So I'm going to pick this one. And I have prefers styles. Prefer styles. Oh no, it's not Paul Lewis. It's Jake. Did you put the wrong face on? Yeah, it shows that we had the software ready, just in case he walks in and wants to do a feature. You never know with him. Sometimes he just appears and just takes over the show. He just can't let go. Oh yeah, you want me to talk about this, right? Okay. You don't have to. But again, this is a little bit of a two for one. So I know, I know. This is a CSS feature. It allows you to hook into things that the user prefers, like a preference that they have expressed usually at the operating system level. That's a good description. Don't laugh at me. That's what it is. They've said, I prefer everything to be dark. I'm sad about life. So can you do that? And yes, we can. Yes, we can. And now you can do it on the web as well. So this is how you'd have it. You'd have your media query, your first color scheme dark or lights, and you provide your exceptions to your styles. Sometimes it would be really, well, we did this with the Chrome Dev Summit website, where we were just overriding a series of custom properties. Great. We did that plus, I think, two or three minor adjustments for contrast on some elements. But other than that, that pattern worked great for us. It worked really, really well. You can also access it with JavaScript using match media, as you can with all the media queries. The other part of it is prefers reduced motion, which again, is a feature that operating systems are exposing. Does it bug you that they didn't just make it a true, false media query? That is a good point, but I think I know why. So something that Adam Argyle, our colleague who does a lot of the CSS stuff, explained to me is the intent of this is not to cancel all animation.  True. Like it's sort of like a wavy thing on the page. But it's a reduced motion. Like what is different between prefers reduced motion reduce to prefers reduced motion? Oh, that's true, isn't it? I find it oddly hard to memorize this, like to actually remember what the correct. That, yeah. Because the other one is prefers color scheme, light or dark. That makes sense. Yes. Because it's an open-ended question, but prefers reduced motion is a yes-no question and we reply with reduced. It should be prefers motion. Yeah. And then you can add in non as a third value to like say just no, no. Oh, roller coaster. Or yeah, oh, just go, go nuts. Yeah, just go for it. Just like make everything move. Make the whole page spin round. Just do in CSS, star, animate, rotate and see you've just gone. I want to do that. I want to see what that looks like. Who wouldn't want that?  Can you counteract the rotation? Exactly. So why wouldn't you want to do that? You've really spoiled this feature for me by pointing this out. Takes too disangent. It's wrong. It's the wrong shape. Oh, like, I mean, it doesn't matter now. You don't want to win anymore.    This is an important feature for people who like maybe get nauseous with like certain kinds of animation and they've told their operating system that your website can now react to it using this slightly badly named API. So there you go. Slightly. Fine, that is the feature. All right. Yeah. Up against, up against, for first reduced motion is native, lazy loading. Native, lazy loading. Check that out. Okay. Yeah. All right. Let me tell you what is it? It is. Why is it? Big fan of this feature. Basically, it allows you to just put a new attribute on images and the browser will automatically not load them until you scroll them into view. Right. Yes. Okay. And she's a fun fact. It also works on iframes. It does also work on iframes. Does it, Jake? Right. Okay. Story time. We talked about this on stage at Chrome Dev Summit. I did, in fact. And I, and someone said it works on iframes and I ran on stage to tell you you were wrong. But it was I who was wrong because I was thinking of the aspect ratio hack that we talked about in earlier episodes. Which does not work on iframes. Does not work on iframes. This one. So yeah, both iframes, you are forgiven. Thank you. Thank you. Although I will not let you forget it. Thank you. Yeah. So both images and iframes you can now just put on your page and don't have to worry about the initial payload because the browser can load them lazily. Right. And we know that there's like you can do something with intersection observer or scroll events. Like it is, it is a good amount of code, but it's mostly just a super convenient feature. Yes. It's polyfillable. It is. Absolutely. That's why the people have written this with intersection observer or. It's only, I wrote it for the Chrome Dev Summit website and it's like four lines in intersection observer. But it does depend on JavaScript. How do you progress of enhancement? How do you make sure the image loads if JavaScript is disabled or broken? Yes. But still not loaded if you have JavaScript. And that's actually quite challenging. It is really challenging. So what do we think? This is actually interesting. Both are fairly high level, fairly simple. I think native lazy loading does much more good for the web health overall. So here's my summary of the two or the pros and cons. For first styles, there's no polyfill other than giving user a button to press. Which most of them you want to do anyway because just because the user has dark mode enabled, maybe they don't actually want dark mode on the site right now. Possible. Yeah, I think that is especially true. Like if you're in a darker room than usual, I don't. You don't want to switch your operating system to dark mode just because you're in a darker room. Yes. Especially if you're just reading one website that's a bit bright and it has an option. Okay, I'll take that. That's fair.  That's true. It's so easy. But that might still be a bar that stops developers doing it. And especially with the concerns around JavaScript where it does get orders of magnitude more complicated. Yeah. And native lazy loading can save people a lot of data and just having an attribute that does it. And it's resilient to Java. Like it doesn't use JavaScript. Like people who surf with our JavaScript or who have disabled or when it crashes. Yes. It will stay functional. This is actually... Native lazy loading is a really good example of the extensible web manifesto in progress. Yes. Because we did all the low-level stuff, which is intersection observer. Actually, it's just that. And it's just intersection observer. But then we have gone and done the higher-level thing. Here, we've seen how people use it. Does the spec actually rely on the... Does the native lazy loading spec rely on the intersection observer spec? That's a good question. I actually, before we came to film this, there's discussion ongoing around the spec for this. And part of the thing that is happening right now is the discussion of how the intersection is calculated. And I don't know if it is referring directly to... What might actually is more likely to happen? I think it would be less... If this HTML feature depends on intersection observer, what they're probably more likely to do is take those intersection things into the HTML spec and make the intersection observer spec reference the HTML. That would make sense. And it would probably be desirable. Web standards. There you go. It's native lazy loading, isn't it? Yeah, that's what I would put my money. And Dark Mode is very trendy. But as you say, you can do it with a button. Native lazy loading is... Yeah, lovely solution to that problem. Wow. That means native lazy loading. Native lazy loading advances. And now we have to find out who native lazy loading faces off against. Right. So that one made my decision. Form elements. There's a more specific thing there because we've had form elements for... We did have form elements on the platform for a couple of a while. For a good one? Yeah, that was good. Thank you. And I will tell you, again, a couple of features sort of rolled into one. Did I have one double? I had one double feature. And it's in the finals. Well, okay. So that's the form element. Found it. There it is. What do you think? When you do this here, this label... Well, there are a few behaviors that are attached to this input here. If you click name because it's part of the label, it will now focus the input. Yeah. Also, it doesn't have to be inside the label. It can have reference for an ID. Yeah, for an ID. But also, when you hit submit here, the value foo or whatever the user has typed in there will be sent to the server post with this action. Yes. This thing here, this fancy thing, fancy custom input, does not have those features. Not because it's custom. So it does now. Oh. Yeah. So there's a couple of ways you can do parts of this. In terms of the submission thing, this is an event you can hook into. So the add event list is form data. What you get is an event object. It has a form data property. And that will contain what the browser has collected about the form so far. And you can modify it. Oh, so you can also inspect the other data. You can append your own, but you can also mangle whatever is already there. Exactly. Okay. So it's like a post-processing step, which includes adding stuff. So that could be a simple way to have your custom elements, whatever, take part in the form properly. Yeah. Or you could do this. Custom elements. This is a custom element feature. Now, the key here is to say form associated equals true. That's magic, isn't it? That is magic in the same way that the observed attributes. Right. One is magic. And so with this being true, it's saying, you know, the browser now knows this takes part in the form. And then you can do this attach internals thing, which is like a way of getting a secret API. So secret. So secret. Which you, and it's a little bit how when you attach a shadow root. Right. It's sort of a little bit like that. But it's not an element. What it does, it just has a load of like APIs as part of it. So you can see these things here. So getting the form will return this internal form. That's bomb. Yeah. Yeah. And element, if you've got an input element or something, dot form will always return the form. So you're just kind of good practice to do that. Yeah. To do that. To do that. But we've got some method. And what that will do is set the value to yes, please. And that's telling the browser, this element, which is taking part in the form, now has this value. So you will be internally listening to clicks and stuff and the shadow root and whatever. And updating what the form value is. And you can tell it if it's all valid or not. All practices apply on how to do input or whatever, custom elements. But now we can just participate in the form part. And by setting the validity when the user hits submit, if one or more of the elements are not valid, it won't submit and it'll do that thing where it shows the little pointer and say, this is the wrong one. Do something about this. And that is the feature. So I have one left. One left. Do you know which one it is? No, I can't. I can't remember either. I can't remember what it is. It must be a good one. From entries. From entries. I'm going to try it with a jake. Go on then. That was really good actually. Close.  Go on then. Talk us through from entries. From entries is, I actually really like it. So there is object.entries, which will turn an object into an array of key value pairs. Yes. So now you have a basic list representation of what this object is. This is old. But this is so useful, though, for iteration. You can iterate over the, you can just write for loops to get key value and get both at the same time. You can actually map over the entire object and say, oh, I want the keys to be uppercase, or I want the values to be plus one, or both at the same time. However, once you do that, how do you then reassemble this list representation back to an object? And that is pretty much what from entries is. It's the inverse of object.entries. It takes a list representation of key value pairs and just gives you the object. And I think, well, exactly what you said there, that's the cases where I've really needed this or wanted this. And it's when I've done, you know, I want to map an object. Yeah. Mapping a array is really easy, but I want to take this object, I want to map over the keys and the values and output something different. And this just lets you do it. Yeah, that's it, that's it, that's it. All right, all right. Let's have a think about this then. Um, right. So we've got from- From entries. From in form. Is, from entries is a polyfill which you can write with reduce as a one liner. Oh, that's a good point. But, but, yeah. It's not a new capability. It's super nice that we have it. It makes it much more like code. It's just much more expressive. But you can just define your own from entries and it's a one liner with reduce. It's, oh, views reduce. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure if there's performance implications of mutating the object over and over, but in the end. No, it should be fine. So yeah, I would say form. Yeah, because you clone the object and then just mutate it. Yeah, I think based on that, it's not a new capability. It's nicer. It's there. It's good that it's there. But the form element is a new capability. And you could say part of that is just like a custom element feature. A lot of people are like, well, I'm not bothered about custom elements. I was thinking, even if you're using React, being able to define your own custom form elements, this makes it much more attractive to use custom elements for it. Because you get, I think so as well. It just ties it into how the browser already behaves. Yeah, agreed. All right. So form elements advances. Yes, it does. It goes against native lazy loading. And this is, I would say this is tough. Because we're like, I'm like, this is something. The native lazy loading, something I encounter on every site I build. And I'm often too lazy to do it right. I will omit progressive enhancement or just do the intersection observer thing and don't basically ignore people who don't run JavaScript or where JavaScript breaks. Form elements is not polyfillable, but I don't encounter it often. I will always say, I don't know how much I care about people who disable JavaScript, because as much as I, how do I feel about people who disable SSL in their browser? You know, it's kind of like, well, why do that? You know, it's part of the web. Part of the platform, yeah. But the thing I do care much more about is the people who haven't deliberately disabled JavaScript, but the people who are maybe running a browser that is older than expected and maybe didn't test properly so the JavaScript is failing. Yeah, JavaScript file just doesn't run because you have one const in there and the browser doesn't do const. Yeah, or a server hiccup that suddenly just returns an empty file or a 404, and this does happen. Wrong time. Yeah, the MIME type goes wrong. Something like that. And that is one of the reasons that I'm super keen on progressive enhancement. You know what it's had been. It's never been about non-Jobscript people for me. It's been about performance and resilience. So I do like it for that and I like that it lowers the bar to save the data. Doing the right thing. Yeah, absolutely. The form elements thing is a new capability and it has that... It's not entirely progressive enhancement because it still depends on JavaScript. Yeah. But it depends on less JavaScript to do the same thing that forms should do and it will get you some of the accessibility for free because if you're using the native validation stuff and the native value stuff, I'm assuming, I mean, the data is there, that can be exposed to accessibility APIs. Yeah.  There is form data as an API to assemble form data and turn it into a multi-part MIME body or whatever you need. Yes. But there is no API to do a post navigation. Oh, that's true.  So there's actually no... Because I thought like, oh, you could just use a form. You can cancel the submit and then assemble your own form data. But there is no way to send that form data as... Oh, that's interesting. As a post navigation. Huh. That is really interesting because I hadn't thought about that because in my head I was thinking, well, you can just assemble a form in the background and hit sort of... and call submit on it. That works. But that cannot include files. It cannot include... Whereas with this, it's a really... That's interesting. That's really niche use case of this. But it is something that I've heard people ask for before is like I want to do a navigation with a file We encountered it with a share target. Yes. Where we wanted to test it and we had to... You wrote a form so you can test it. That is true. So if you wanted to do your own rudimentary like sharing from one site to another using normal HTTP methods, we saw with sharing before that you can do this with the native share platform but you can do it between websites using... So that should be clear. You can do a fetch request but that won't navigate your page. Yes. And whereas if you're sort of doing a share you actually kind of want to like... Navigate with a post request. With some data. Interesting. I hadn't thought about that. That's... It's going to sort of come down to like how much of... How much is this going to benefit the web? I guess... That's what I was going to bring up. So I think native lazily still takes this one home because it is pretty much literally every website. Every website has images.  It's the right thing to do. They are, I believe, the heaviest thing on... Yeah, 50% of a page weight on average on at least an HP archive is images. Yes. And so this will mean you download less of it. Especially if you're... Because if you're just going to a page... Yeah. Just to click one of the things at the top of the page which I do all the time. Open a blog post. Oh, not interested after all. Leave. Yeah. Or even like you go to a shopping website to click the button there. But you just downloaded all of the stuff there. And the browser can cancel it. But by that time, you've already downloaded a lot. Big problem if you're on a muted connection. So are we in agreement? Yep. All right. Yeah. Have it. Go on then. All right. So this is interesting. We're going to find the next finalist. So in the semifinal, we have... That was a janky animation. We need to get... Look, this is such an old tablet that we've been doing this stuff with. And it's only because we tried to do it with a pixel book but there was some flickering thing with the camera. Oh, everywhere. Looked up. Yeah. I think we should get the...  I think we should get the new like $50,000 Mac Pro. Well, and just balance and monitor here. Yeah. Okay. That should run the animation smoothly. It's not touch screen though, is it? That's... For $52,000, you still don't get touch screen. Yeah, that's actually true, isn't it? Yeah. Come on. Just throw that in. Yeah. Your machine can roll downhill. Yeah, for $400. No touch screen. Right. What are you talking about? Tendent. We've got native lazy loading versus background fetch on our old janky tablet. That doesn't... That's so old it doesn't even receive Android updates anymore. Nice. I found that this morning. Okay. Oh, this is rough. I find this really hard. So, we've got a very simple feature. Like this... As in it's simple to use. As we said, useful for pretty much every website that is in existence. One of the things I would say about this is that an interesting part of this feature, the native lazy loading thing, is the browser is actually free to apply it automatically. Is it? Yes. The default value for it is auto. And I believe... But don't many sites rely on images being loaded off screen? This is a fix I made to the spec. Yes, because I was saying, like I think there were cases where people use it for like preloading images, going to a canvas, something, something, something, something. So, the rule is, I think we came up with it, must immediately load if it's detached from the document or if it's created by JavaScript. Oh, okay. Interesting.  Interesting. So, I think we're actively monitoring that. Could it also be changed like if there's an unload listener? And no exploded loading activity. Oh, I see. Yeah, it could load it. Either way, okay, that's very interesting because that's actually, I wanted to bring it up originally, but didn't because like, can't work. But if that is the case, that would be great if this opens a path for just making the, reducing the page rate of many pages, just by making the user agent smarter. So, I was balancing that around my head. You can't do the load event detection because you might have the load event on the document element. And that would bubble, the image one bubbles or captures at least. There is ways of listening to that. Stupid. Anyway, sorry. What were you saying? Because while I was just thinking about the other thing. No, I just like it. If there is an actual path that allows us to reduce the page weight by making the user agent smarter, that's a big plus. Whereas this feature makes more downloading happen. Oh, that's an easy decision. The one that saves data rather than uses it. No, I, so, yeah, we're talking about a new capability for a set of websites that are doing up and down loads. Yes, which is a limited set. I don't want to put a number on it, but it's definitely, have I written a website where I would have used it? I don't think I have. And I'm saying that nobody has, but the things that we have written here, we wouldn't have used Backyard Fetch while we would have used Image Lays loading. Oh, yeah. This is a really tough one. Yeah, it is. You write. I'm sort of convinced myself. I don't need Backyard Fetch for my blog unless I do the thing we talked about earlier of like download all my articles, move them, whatever. And again, yeah, that's, we have small enough data, Backyard Fetch, or a fast enough connection, Backyard Fetch matters less, definitely. You would still do the right thing because you don't know how fast the connection is for your user. Things like uploading videos to YouTube or photos to Google Photos or Flickr. That's amazing that it works now. Yeah. But everyone has images. Yeah. It feels like in the second year in a row we are converging on high-level features. As a reminder, I think last year it was Skrull Snap. It was Skrull Snap. Skrull Snap. Because I'm a winner. Yeah. I don't know why I'm getting so serious about this. I'm getting really worked up, like all the rest are going to be deleted. Everyone else was fired. Especially because this is my summer. I worked on this one. And that means for the final, the final, final, final. All right. It is summer versus summer. After all your complaining in the first episode that it was just me winning, the final has come down to you versus you. Okay. And you killed my feature in the process. I did. And I am not sorry. Right. Okay. Come on. I'm going to try and forget all about that. And it's odd because some of the arguments you were making before apply again. So sharing is very much a sort of PWA feature. The use cases are niche. Navigator.share. I guess that part I can't use because that's not the new part. The new part is now images in navigator.share. When did we lose the aspect ratio thing? I feel like I used that more than native lazy loading. Aspect ratio lost against sharing. This is rubbish. This is just rubbish. What have we done? So sharing contains being able to share images to the system from the web app. And we should say specifically the sharing out is... That's what I mean because just being able to tap into the sharing part is not new. Just being able to share files out is new in 2019. So while sharing itself is cool, sharing images is a more niche use case because it doesn't happen as often. Often you say like, oh, here's my blog. Tweet it out kind of thing. So the big story here is really the sharing from native to web, which is a PWA only feature, but it's a big deal. It is. But also, again, less customers. Yeah. Yeah. A few of them background fetch I'd say. Like more things deal with like larger downloads. I think if we had sharing versus background fetch, arguably background fetch would have won, maybe. But that matchup didn't happen, so no time... I think it's... It is. I think it's native lazy loading. I think, I think, I agree. We found the feature, the best feature of... 2019. According to us. Which is the only way that matters. Which is native lazy loading. When we put this to an audience... We're going to, oh, it's going to be... Which is a video we will release at some point. At some point, January, probably. When the Christmas hats don't make sense anymore. Yeah. Well, we're not... No, I mean, at CDS. We will release the CDS version where we talked to the audience where we were not wearing Christmas stuff. It was background fetch. Did we have the same matchup? No, just the overall winner was background fetch. No, because we did it, we've done it random each time. Yeah. And I don't know how much that affects it. It could have been, by coincidence, we had the same matchup. But I still think that this was a... A lot of work. Like, the spec for this is actually really big. It was a lot of effort. That is the first time that it's an HTML attribute tapping into layout. Yeah. But it was a really good cross-browser effort as well. I think it was... I think everybody agree that this is a problem that needs solving. Yes, absolutely. Or an easier way to solve it. And there's a lot to be said for lowering the bar for doing the right thing. And I think that is something that we don't do enough in web standards.  And we still see many, many websites not using those tools because they're complicated because they can do lots of stuff. This is a good example of lowering that bar. And together with the aspect ratio proposal. Yes. Boom. Can we bring that in? And it's like a kind of... Can we roll it into that as an extra feature? No. I really like the aspect ratio thing. Okay, okay. Native lazy loading. There we go. We found our feature of 2019. And we will see you in 2020. That's the next... Yeah, that's the next number. 2020. See you there. Um, yes. Hello. You on the telephone? So am I speaking? How may I help you? We'd like to film an episode of two or three. Is that okay? Is it convenient for you right now, sir? So I call back later. So I get off the phone. And I'll see you in 10 minutes.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So the legacy of Chucky panel has come and gone at Comic-Con at home We saw the official trailer for the Chucky TV series It dropped actually a few minutes before the panel was released on its YouTube channel And there was a feature of all the cast members involved And we got to see a lot of new scenes that weren't even in the trailer itself and Devin Sawa actually did confirm who he's going to be playing in the TV series along with some other character named Logan That had got announced previously. So just like I have been saying or kind of speculating on Devin Sawa seems like he will indeed be playing a set of twins in this show He said during the 14-minute feature that's on the Comic-Con you should actually leave a link to it down in the comment section or the description of this video I mean he said himself He'll be playing characters Lucas and Logan Weber Lucas is presumably in this scene and this is Jake's father now Logan Logan Weber is going to be is going to be portrayed by Sawa as well notice the beard here But Logan does not have a beard and he's going to be married to Lexa doig's character Aunt Brie jakes uncle So this character here played by Devin Sawa once again Logan Weber is Jake's uncle So Devin Sawa will be playing one set of twins that we can expect to see in the Chucky TV series The reason I'm saying one set of twins we can expect to see is because I'm still holding our hope that along with Glenn Glenda will be back somehow But they're fraternal twins, but still that's another set of twins I know many of us are hoping to see during this TV series There's a lot of cool shots and sequences from this shows highlighted in this trailer. We saw Chucky and Chucky and Jake at school especially a lot of Chucky going around taking out these people that are bullying Jake the other thing that's exciting about this is how it basically is Establishing that this TV series is set Well, I think a lot of us presume this this TV series is going to be set around the Halloween season So what I think and what I hope will happen is that? each individual episode is leading up to Halloween night and Halloween night will take place of course on Episode 8 the last episode of this season presumably Because what could happen is they could always renew and just have an additional set of episodes added to the first season But I'm pretty certain that what will happen is we'll have only eight episodes for the first season And what I hope to see is that the TV series builds up and up and up to Halloween night, which will be the season finale That's another cool interesting tidbit. We did get to see the character Miss Jolly again holding the conversation with Jake asking him if he's into Vintage and I think he's responding with retro something like that. We see Jake at home in his room We see a lot of cool shots of Chucky and I see what they're talking about as far as like Wanting to take it back to the roots of Child's Play 2 while this doll doesn't necessarily closely resemble Exactly what the child's play do Child's Play 2 doll look like in my opinion. I appreciate the effort. This doll doesn't look decent enough It looks better than the Colts of Chucky doll honestly It looks better than the Colts of Chucky doll and the Curse of Chucky doll. I'll just be honest there on that end so Lot of cool shots that were shown we saw Jake We saw all of these young characters that he's going to be with We did get to learn a lot of a lot of other stuff about Jake and how he's gonna have a crush on one of his Male best friends that he goes to school with is gonna be interesting to see how that plays out on TV Hopefully this friend of Jake does not turn his turn his back on him if he responds a little negative at first I Just hope that what happens is that negative response leads to him understanding that Jake is who he is He can just simply tell Jake. He's not interested, but Jake and him can still hopefully be friends I don't know if any of you have ever been in that position as a guy where another guy has had a crush on you I haven't been in that position bad the end of the day You know if you have a guy friend just going off on a tangent here Just sidebar conversation if you have a guy friend that you're close with and that guy friend is Gonna come out to you not only tell you that he is gay, but he has a crush on you.   You don't like the guy just tell him that So I hope that's what happens here with Jake and his friend We did also get to see Jake and Chuckie on stage at this presumed talent show again And Chuckie yes is going to be doing what we had thought he's going to be heckling the crowd He's going to be going off and probably exposing a lot of things about certain people Maybe Jake's aunt to be specific Maybe Jake's uncle to be even more specific. Maybe a lot of these bullies in Jake's school He's going to be exposing a lot of the things that I guess these people are hiding when they're wanting to come for Jake He's going to be like well look you want to come for this guy Let's talk about some of the stuff that you're doing wrong that actually is wrong so We see Jake in school getting bullied at times during the trailer to with His cousin and one of the other girl characters I'm forgetting her name But this show looks like it's going to be very promising It does look like it's going to be very action packed The other thing I want to touch on going back to Devon Sawa The name of the initial episode is death by misadventure this trailer is not just showing things that are related to the first episode It is Undoubtedly going to be showing it's undoubtedly showing things that we're going to be getting over the course of the other Episodes after the first episode death by misadventure now the shot that you see there of Logan standing with his spouse of Aunt Marie Who again is played by Devon Sawa Uncle Logan Devon Sawa is playing Jake's dad and his uncle First episode he is titled death by misadventure Jake has recently lost his mother and they're struggling with that in his house him and his father alike Death by misadventure title the first episode in the teaser we do see Jake's dad in the basement with Chucky There's already been a shot from the teaser of Jake walking into the basement It looks like Jake's dad goes down into the basement and it's lining up with that other image that was released During the other teaser during the pride of Chucky marathon of Jake being shown walking in what I'm assuming is that same basement Title episode again death by misadventure. Jake's dad is probably gonna die Devon Sawa Jake's dad's character as Jake's dad. He is going to die in the first episode if I'm wrong. I'm wrong 100% certain I'm not but This will lead to of course Jake then moving in with his aunt and uncle Which would explain why he's in a different house and his aunt and uncle are kind of looking up at him It looks like when they turn to that shot of them looking up at Jake as he's making some claims And it looks like Chucky is doing a lot of the carnage in someone else's house That's not Jake's house because Jake will end up moving in with his aunt and uncle after his dad dies Unfortunately at the end of the pilot episode But let me know what you guys thought about the trailer down in the comment section below Did you look at the cinema con feet feature at panel video that came out if you haven't missed you subscribe turn on post Notification and be this video in the description.

Hello, this is Robbie Frank, and in this video, we're going to talk about accountability, holding yourself accountable, and making the things you said will happen, happen. I'm recording this as you might see from my expression, my energy, after a full night of work, basically working from 6 a.m. till 8 p.m. and then taking like a three-hour break, and then from 11 p.m. till now, which we're talking about 7 a.m. right now. So pretty much 23, 22 hours of working straight. Why did I do that?  It was so bad, I found myself like nudging off a couple of times, but I got what I wanted done. So I pushed through, regardless of the difficulty, regardless of it being uncomfortable. And this actually comes right after me being in a friend's birthday. I didn't want to go, I don't go to birthdays, I don't go to socialize. I only spent time with my wife, working out, or on my business. And I went to the party, and it reminded me why I don't go to socialize. Everybody there, even though everyone's doing self-development, in that group, everybody there, they have a clear purpose. Didn't have that grit, that drive to work.  And that's most people. If you want to be different, if you want to be special, if you want to get the special things in life, you have to work at them right now, not in the future, not doing things that might get you there maybe eventually, but doing things that right now tangibly move you forward. If your goal is to make more money, set a goal to make more money tomorrow. Don't set an organization goal where you sit down and start organizing and thinking and strategizing. If your goal is to make more money, set a target for the amount of money you want to make tomorrow and hit that target. Do whatever it takes in terms of getting attention, in terms of making offers, in terms of asking for money in order to get your target. There is nothing more important than that. And really this is the biggest difference that I see between people who are successful and people who dabble. I've not even talking about the regular people, the normal people who spend a life of quiet desperation. I'm talking about the people who are in self-development, who are reading books, who are pretending, pretending to move forward in life. The difference between them and the successful people, the ones that really make things happen, is that successful people don't congregate. They don't talk to each other at parties. They don't go do that, because they're working. That's why you don't see them at your parties. They're working, they're pushing their dreams forward and they have very specific targets that they will reach, no matter what, no matter what the cost is. And this is the main difference between dabblers and successful people, is that people who are successful set targets and hit them. They don't just dabble. They don't say, oh, it's about the journey. I'm just kind of finding myself. They set a target, they hit the target. They do whatever it takes. And if you're not willing to do whatever it takes right now, that's okay, but you realize that you're dabbling. You're not making the soup. You're not building the formula for success. You're not making a recipe that will eventually turn into success. You're simply not engaging in success. Success is very much like war.  It's not about enjoying it. It's not about having fun. It's about getting to the destination that you've set. Once you get to the destination, that's when you can have fun, but only once you actually reached your target. So start being goal oriented in your life. Start being target oriented. Do whatever it takes to hit your targets. That is the main first key ingredient to actually moving forward in life and not just dabbling.   That is what will make you a more dependable person. Now where others can depend on you, where you can depend on yourself, that's how you start moving yourself forward in life. Thanks for watching and let's see you in the next video.
