It is now time for oral questions. I recognize the leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition. Speaker, people in Sault Ste. Marie and across this province are mourning the tragic horrific loss of five people, three of them children, as a result of intimate partner violence. Tragically, gender-based violence and femicide is on the rise in our province and its long past time for change. A report from July of this year found that Ontario had 30 femicides in as many weeks. 30 women killed in 30 weeks. So, Speaker, my question is to the Premier, what actions will the Premier take to prevent further tragedies like we saw in Sault Ste. Marie? Mr. Children and Community Services. Very much, Speaker. Thank you very much for the question. Speaker, our thoughts go out to the victims and the loved ones and all those that were impacted by this unspeakable tragedy, Speaker. No woman should ever be subjected to violence, Mr. Speaker. And through legislation and investments, our priority will always be to provide the supports to those impacted by violence, while also ensuring that perpetrators responsible for the horrible crime of intimate partner violence are held accountable through the justice system when possible. When it comes to violence against women and children, Mr. Speaker, we're focused on actions that deliver concrete and tangible results. And that's why we have passed laws, some of which were the first of its kind in Canada to make it harder to victimize women. That's why we've invested significantly, both in violence prevention and supports for violence. Mr. Speaker, when it comes to violence against women, our government will do whatever it takes to make sure that we prevent violence in all of its forms against women. Mr. Speaker, we don't have time to waste. We should be doing everything we can to prevent even one more death from intimate partner violence. Advocates have been sounding the alarm, calling for a clear and urgent strategy. Last year, we'll recall that a coroner's inquest on the murders in Renfrew gave the province 86 recommendations, 68 of those under provincial jurisdiction. But this government rejected many of those recommendations, including choosing not to declare gender-based violence and epidemic. So to the Premier, will the Premier stand with advocates and survivors and declare intimate partner violence and epidemic? The Associate Minister of Women's Social and Economic Opportunity. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know, every act of intimate partner violence is heinous. It has an insidious impact that tears through multiple generations of family and can hurt communities deeply. We know that when you hurt a woman, you're not just hurting her, you're hurting her, her children, her family, and communities. And that's why we have invested significantly in community supports and organizations so that women can access them to get the support and help they need. And we'll continue to fund these organizations, like the Investing Women's Futures program that provides wraparound supports and housing, employment, and counseling, and safety planning for vulnerable women. The Assaulted Women's Helpline, for example. Mr. Speaker, what happened in the Sioux is devastating. Response? And if you are vulnerable or experiencing violence, please call the Assaulted Women's Helpline at 1-866-863-0511. You do not need to suffer in silence. The final supplementary. Speaker, it might seem like a small thing to call this an epidemic, but trust me, it means everything. It means we'd give it the attention and the resources that it needs. And those groups that the minister and I appreciate her response, but those groups, those organizations that are working on these issues in our communities, are deeply underfunded. Deeply underfunded. And organizations, even in my own community, the South Asian Women's Center, Abrigo Center, if they would get the support and funding they needed to help prevent this horrifying violence from happening again, my goodness, that would mean everything. And the rates, the demand, it has skyrocketed. Under the pandemic, it's skyrocketed. It hasn't gone back down yet. And your government has not kept up. So back to the Premier. Will his government commit today to call this an epidemic and adequately fund survivor services? Thank you very much, Speaker. And again, I thank the honourable member for the question, Mr Speaker. This is a serious issue and a serious issue needs action. And for us to all work together to make sure we prevent violence against women in all its forms across the province in every single community, which is why the Associate Minister referenced some of the supports that have been made available. We have said from beginning, Mr Speaker, we're working with the federal government. We welcome the support of our municipal partners. I welcome the support of the opposition. Every single person has a part to play, Mr Speaker, when it comes to eliminating violence against women in this province. That's why we have made the investments. We will not back down. We will not stop until we stop violence against women in all of its forms across the province. Thank you very much. And once again, the Leader of the Opposition. I tell you, Speaker, you know, those frontline organisations will be able to do a whole lot more if they didn't have to do fundraising full-time. Anyways, my question is to the Premier. On September 25th, the government house leader tabled a motion to accept the report of the integrity commissioner into the former Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and to approve the recommendation to reprimand that former minister. The motion is still sitting there on the order paper. So to the Premier, when will this motion be debated? Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. The Leader of the Opposition will know, of course, that we had brought the motion for freedom's consent and it was turned down by the opposition at that time and subsequent conversations with members on all sides. I think there has been some agreement that the former minister has accepted responsibility and that is why he has resigned. So I have no intention of moving forward beyond that. Thank you. The supplementary question. You and I know, we both know, that that unanimous consent was actually an attempt to bury the issue, bury the motion and prevent debate. Speaker, this government is under criminal investigation by the RCMP. The RCMP has now even appointed a special prosecutor to investigate this case, including talking to witnesses, this government muzzled by confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. But the Premier? The Premier is just ignoring the commissioner's recommendations to officially reprimand that minister for his well-documented misconduct. They're doing whatever it takes to avoid having this conversation in the public realm and in this House. So to the Premier, why has this government refused to hold the former minister accountable for his misconduct? Just the opposite, Mr Speaker. The former minister accepted responsibility and resigned as a minister. At the same time, Speaker, there have been ample opportunities for the opposition to continue debate on this, not only through the forum of question pair, but through opposition day motions as well. So we are very committed to continuing to move forward, not in any way shape or form, looking to avoid accountability. Mr Speaker, just the opposite. That is why the Premier asked me to ensure that we restore public trust in some of the decisions that we had made. That's why I moved and put the green belt back into under the protection, under protection, and extend it, codified the boundaries under legislation. And that is why we made some reversals on 12 official plans, Mr Speaker. So we have accepted accountability for the mistakes that we made and for those decisions that did not meet the public's faith in them. The final supplementary? Speaker, the integrity commissioner found the former minister guilty of misconduct, not in competence, not of being a poor delegator, but misconduct. Two serious breaches of the members integrity act in relation to a massive breach of the public's trust that is now under criminal investigation by the RCMP. But to hear the Premier or the minister talk about it, this was just a clumsy but well-intentioned mistake. So back to the Premier. Will the Premier allow a full debate on that reprimand motion so he'll finally understand why giving his friends preferential treatment is wrong? Government House Leader. In fact, just the opposite, Mr Speaker. We've accepted full responsibility, accepted the recommendations of the auditor general. That is why we moved quickly to restore the lands that had been removed from the green belt back into the green belt. That is why we've gone further and codified the boundaries of the green belt in law. At the same time, Mr Speaker, I was unhappy. The Premier was unhappy with the process that saw 12 official plans, some of the changes in 12 official plans. That is why I reversed those plans, Mr Speaker. It is about working better with our municipal partners, but it's also about ensuring that we move forward on building 1.5 million homes across the province of Ontario. I'm not going to be distracted by that mission, Mr Speaker. We'll continue to get the job done on behalf of the people of the province of Ontario. Thank you. The next question, the member for London North Centre. Good morning, Speaker. This is my question to the Premier. Earlier this year, Scotiabank put out a report calling for a massive expansion of non-market housing to meet the needs of low and moderate income families who can't afford what the private sector is willing to build. Scotiabank said the existing stock of social housing needs to be at least doubled. The NDP just released a non-market housing strategy whose goal is to do exactly that. But two days ago, the Minister of Housing said, investing in non-market housing was, I quote, out of the playbook of communist Russia. Is the Minister really so opposed to public investments in non-market housing that Scotiabank is too communist for him? Actually, he wasn't listening, Mr Speaker, because what I said was the programmer that he put forward was out of the playbook of communist Russia. We've gone down this road before, right? So Bob Ray did the exact same plan that the members are proposing, and that program cost us many, many billions of dollars more than they're even, than they're promising to spend right now, Mr Speaker. They're promising to spend, I think it's $60,000 a unit. That is what they think that they will pay to bring this type of housing on board. Yes, Mr Speaker, we are actually building social housing across the province of Ontario, working with our partners. Now, Mr Speaker, the member opposite voted against our attempts, our successful attempts to remove development charges from those types of homes. In York Region, that equates to removing $130,000 on average from the cost of social housing, Speaker. At the same time, throughout Toronto, for instance, I've used MZOs to build social housing, and they are opposed to that. A supplementary question. Back to the Premier. Canada's federal housing advocate, Scotiabank and the National Housing Accord, a coalition of housing stakeholders from the non-profit and for-profit housing sectors have all called for governments in Canada to double the existing stock of social housing, at the least. There is a broad consensus that governments need to greatly increase investments in public, non-profit and co-op housing. But the Minister of Housing thinks this sort of public investment in housing is communism. What hope did low and moderate-income families have when this government is so ideologically opposed to public investment in housing? I don't think anybody is believing the member opposite. The people of the province of Ontario know that you cannot build a home for $60,000 like the members opposite are suggesting. All right? They know that that is completely an unreasonable limit. In fact, when the Bob Ray government completed its proposals, they were building homes at $170,000 per unit in 1993. So the program that they put forward does not work. What are we doing? We're building affordable homes across the province of Ontario. We're building higher and more along our transit corridors. We've removed development charges from our social housing. We have updated the definition of affordable housing in the province of Ontario to include income and so that it could be reflected across all of the province of Ontario because we know it's unique from Toronto. It's different in the northern parts of the province speaker. We've done all that. I've used MZOs to ensure that we build social housing with our partners across the province, Mr. Speaker. So we are getting the job done in a way that actually makes sense and delivers that type of housing for the people of the province of Ontario. Thank you, Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Energy. Interiors need access to affordable electricity. They never want to return to the days of controlled costs like they experienced under the previous Liberal government. Never again should the people of Ontario have to choose between eating and heating because of high electricity costs. People want our energy grid to be efficient, effective, clean and reliable. At the same time, Speaker, they also want to know that our government is ensuring that their energy bills remain affordable. Can the Minister explain what actions our government is taking to ensure that Ontarians continue to have access to electricity that is affordable, reliable and emissions free? Thank you very much. I'd like to thank the member from Ontario's clean energy capital, the Durham region, for the question this morning. Mr. Speaker, Ontario's electricity grid is one of the cleanest in the entire world at over 90% clean. And how can we accomplish that, Mr. Speaker? Largely because of the nuclear fleet that we have in Ontario providing anywhere from 50 to 60% of our electricity every day in a clean, emissions free, reliable and affordable way, Mr. Speaker. It employs 76,000 people across Canada, Mr. Speaker, almost all of them here in Ontario. And it's those same people, those skilled trades, those nuclear operators that are doing incredible work. I was with my good friend, the Minister from here on Bruce, the Minister of Agriculture a couple of weeks ago at Bruce Power, where they brought back Unit 6, one of the nuclear refurbishment projects on time and on budget, Mr. Speaker, with those skilled trades people in support of our energy sector, which is world-class, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary question. Back to the Minister, Speaker. I'm so proud of our government's work in advocating for Ontario's incredible nuclear industry and its highly skilled tradespeople. The refurbishments described by the Minister in his response are a massive undertaking. By completing these ahead of schedule and yes, on budget, our government is demonstrating our commitment to building energy infrastructure projects for the future. That's why it's so disappointing to see the opposition once again saying no and once again opposing Ontario's nuclear industry. The people of Ontario deserve far better from their elected representatives who unfortunately are more interested, Speaker, in playing politics instead of finding solutions for our energy system. Can the Minister share his views on what the impact the NDP and Liberal's opposition to our vital nuclear sector will mean to hardworking families, individuals, and the skilled workforce that relies on this source of power. Member for Hamilton Mountain will come to order. The Minister of Energy. Thanks, Mr. Speaker, and thanks again to the member for the supplementary. It is sad, actually, Mr. Speaker, that the opposition is not working with us, they're working against us, and they're saying no to clean, reliable, and affordable electricity in our province. They're saying no to new good-paying jobs across our province, Mr. Speaker. They're saying no to the economic growth that we're experiencing, largely because we have a world-class nuclear fleet, Mr. Speaker. Perhaps most disappointing, though, Mr. Speaker, is those same members from the NDP and the opposition are saying no to the skilled tradespeople, those boiler makers, those electricians, nuclear engineers that are working so hard every day, Mr. Speaker, to power our province, to ensure that we are an economic powerhouse here in Ontario, one that's created 700,000 jobs, not 300,000 manufacturing jobs, when we had an NDP liberal coalition in this province, Mr. Speaker. The Ontario PC party and this government are going to stand up every day for those power workers across Ontario. The member for Parkdale High Park. Thank you, Speaker. My question is to the Premier. The Ford government recently announced its intention to seek judicial review of the Federal Impact Assessment Act in light of a recent opinion by the Supreme Court of Canada. The government side will come to order. You can't interrupt the member who's got the question. Order. Start the clock. Member for Parkdale High Park. Speaker, this government wants to build Highway 413 and pave over Ontario Place without going through the proper process. They clearly haven't learned anything from the Greenbelt scandal and continues to rush through proper evaluations and environmental assessments. Will the Attorney General stop wasting public money, relegating a Supreme Court opinion that would deliver more transparency for Ontarians? Mr. Speaker, actually, the Supreme Court confirmed that the legislation brought forward by the Trudeau Liberal government was in fact beyond its jurisdiction to do so. The Attorney General, of course, is using that ruling to allow us to move forward on projects like the 413, like Ontario Place. We've made no secret of the fact that we have wanted to move on important public infrastructure across the province of Ontario and we're going to continue to do that. We've reflected, of course, on what the Supreme Court's decision and, of course, are encouraged by that decision. We have always argued that the Supreme Court, as have other provinces, that the federal government had gone well beyond its jurisdiction. The Supreme Court validated that and we are taking the next steps to ensure that we can move on with these very, very important public infrastructure programs. Maverick West and Caster Dundas. Further evidence on this government's assault on the environment. The government has tabled four proposals to further weaken environmental oversight in the permit system for water takings, waste management, and storm water management. These changes mean the public would lose the right to participate in decisions affecting their health and safety. Worse, public oversight would be offloaded to the very same private company seeking the permit, just like the gutting of conservation authorities and the weakening of wetland protections. This government is once again enriching special interests while putting soil and water at risk. Will this government ever, ever listen to the public instead of lobbyists and show that by cancelling these proposals? Speaker, the very premise of the question doesn't actually line up with the facts. How can the proposed regulation be secret if it's publicly available and it has been publicly available for weeks? I don't know, but I'm sure the member would suggest you go on the listing as it's very transparent and it's why so many Interians can comment on these regulations right now if they want to provide their feedback. And that's the point of the system, Speaker. We consult on Interians with changes always. Interia will be regulating these activities, the licenses that we speak about, but Speaker, this is misinformation that's being spread. All activities will be safe. I'm going to ask the member to withdraw the unparliamentary comment. Withdraw, Speaker. Thank you. The next question, the member for Bradford Grant. Thank you, Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Farmers, food processors in the agri-food industry provide high quality food products for Ontario families and for a growing export market. Measures outlined in our Grow Ontario strategy are innovative and we are seeing positive results. Because of investments made by our government, we are witnessing an increase in more homegrown food, greater manufacturing opportunities and improved technology for our farmers. Unfortunately, our farmers are facing additional pressures and challenges that are making it more difficult for them to deliver a food supply chain that is safe, strong and stable. Speaker, can the Minister please explain how our government is supporting Ontario's agricultural industries to overcome barriers to their productivity? Thank you. The Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to share with the member opposite, who is a huge champion for our agri-food industry, that we are listening to stakeholders and we are listening to farmers and we are bringing forward thoughtful policies that truly are making a difference. For instance, I was so very proud to continue to support the Minister of Red Tape Reduction and his most recent piece of legislation he tabled that could translate into potential savings of $4 million for agricultural and horticultural societies and we are continuing to reduce burden, but we need to be perfectly clear in this House. The biggest burden on Ontario farmers today is the carbon tax and I think every single MPP in this House should be standing up for Ontario farmers and saying no to the carbon tax. I am totally disgusted with the events this past year whereby C234 has been completely gutted, especially during our harvest. I am sure the agriculture minister, our minister I just promoted to you, the agriculture critic for the MPP party. Thank you. Thank you. A supplementary question. Thank you, Speaker. I would love to have the member from Tomiskaming Cochran and our side, sir. From the Minister's response, it is clear that the carbon tax is placing a heavy burden on farmers and food producers. Ultimately the carbon tax will negatively impact the people of Ontario. Individuals and families are already feeling the pressure of high food costs and are struggling to make ends meet. The people of Ontario are looking to our government for solutions that will reduce environmental impacts while also supporting Ontario's food processors and producers. That's why our government must act with urgency to address these serious matters. Speaker, can the minister please explain what actions our government is taking to ensure that Ontario's agri-food sector remains stable and sustainable? Thank you. Agriculture, food and rural affairs. Foremost, I am absolutely making clear I am absolutely disgusted with the impact of the carbon tax that the federal government has placed on Ontario farmers. Furthermore, we need to make sure that our Liberal and our NDP MPPs understand that by supporting a carbon tax they're supporting a tax that is going to be debilitating when it comes to growing Ontario. But it's our government under the leadership of Premier Ford that's listening. And because of that we're introducing $8 million worth of programs to support the mental health of farmers in Ontario. We're introducing next week $16.5 million in our Ontario Agri-Food Research Initiative. We're moving forward and trying to introduce an incentive food and beverage manufacturers to save on energy and bring through innovations. And that program alone is a $10 million investment. Ladies and gentlemen, we also are investing $10 million in improving meat processing capacity in this province as well. We're listening. We're bringing forward programs that are going to help. Thank you. Thank you very much. The next question, the member for Kiwetnog. Good morning, Speaker. We have lots of people in Kiwetnog at our on-the-assets. To get treated they have to travel to Southern Bay, Sulakout, Dryden, or Kenora. They have to leave their home, Speaker. They have to leave their families. And when they go home, it isn't because that they're getting better. But it's they go home because they have to go their own funeral. When is this government going to ensure that there is dialysis care close to home for the people of Kiwetnog? Please take your seats. The Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. Thank you for the question. Already on it. So our government is working with Indigenous partners such as the Ministry's investment in 21 Indigenous primary health care organizations across Ontario, which sites both on and off reservation and deliver a wide range of services. We've invested $10.31 million in 2021-22 from the Ministry of Health to expand culturally safe and Indigenous-led mental health and addiction services for Indigenous people living on and off reserve. In 2021, our government announced $1.5 million in annual funding to expand access to specialized mental health and addiction services in Northwestern Ontario. We're getting it done. A supplementary question. Speaker, $1.5 million for Indigenous people in Ontario is order is peanuts. But the speaker, I'll say this much, Speaker, the healthcare system does not work for Indigenous people. But and I always also say that the system is not broken. It is working exactly the way it's designed to, which is to take away the rights of the people to the lands and the resources. It's designed to harm Indigenous people. If you say or do nothing to improve that, you are part of the problem. I ask, Speaker, I ask this government, will this government support my motion today to recognize colonialism and being Indigenous as a determinant of health, yes or no? Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Well, I appreciate the the member opposite's question. There is a tremendous amount of work that is being done across the province of Ontario with partners in Indigenous communities, as well as in Northern Ontario and across really across the province. But I can confirm for the member that we will not be supporting this motion today. We will continue to double down on our efforts to improve health care for all Ontarians, including Indigenous partners as well, Mr Speaker. We are continuing our efforts with the federal government also to address some of the very important issues that that we're seeing on reserves, and we will continue that work. Thank you. Thank you. The next question, the member for Don Valley East. Mr Speaker, for the Premier. Just two months after the release of the Auditor General and the Integrity Commissioner's damning green belt reports, the government is acting like all is forgiven. Well, the people of Ontario don't see it that way, and neither does the RCMP. Our province was taken on a wild roller coaster while a handful of developers hit an $8.3 billion jackpot. Mr Speaker, this isn't a casino in Las Vegas. This is the People's House, and as the government members are learning, the number one rule in gambling is that the house always wins. Between the green belt debacle, the RCMP criminal investigation, the appointment of a special prosecutor, the urban boundary flip-flop, and three ministers resigning.  Why should the people of Ontario believe this government can fix health care, housing, and affordability? Again, an odd question coming from a member who was running for the leadership of the Liberal Party but dropped out of the race so that he could support a candidate who is raising principally all of her money from developers. The same people that he is just criticizing, the same candidate who is the only candidate that actually wants to still build on the green belt. So it is a very odd question coming from that particular gentleman. He had other people that he could have supported in a Liberal leadership, but he chose to support the one person that is doing everything that he is critical of right here in the House. Mr Speaker, calling the kettle black. Mr Speaker went all the member across as Bonnie Cromby lines. That's how you know he's actually got nothing. The people of Ontario have a government that is more interested in distracting and dividing than actually writing any of its wrongs. My constituents in Don Valley East know they aren't getting the full story on the destruction of the science centre. Where is that business case the Minister of Infrastructure promised us? Amidst the green belt scandal, the urban boundary flip-flop, it's clear this government is using wedge politics to distract from the RCMP criminal investigation to divide and misdirect us. Speaking of misdirection, yesterday the government tried to put forward a motion begging the federal government to help them clean up their own affordability mess. The Premier could focus on things like rent control, the Ontario child tax benefit, or boosting social assistance instead. Mr Speaker, when will the Premier tell his government to start doing and stop distracting? Minister of Infrastructure. Thank you very much Mr Speaker and I always look forward to an opportunity to speak about how we're actually saving the science centre. The science centre although safe facility and continues to operate is an old facility and what we're trying to achieve here is build a new facility with more exhibition space that will be around for young people in Ontarians for the next 50 years and we're very pleased that we're bringing the science centre to Ontario Place, bringing the science centre, keeping it alive, as well as bringing Ontario Place alive as well. Thank you. The next question is for the Solicitor General. All Ontarians deserve to feel safe in their communities. That's why it's concerning to hear from individuals and families in my writing that they're worried about reports of increasing crime and violence throughout Ontario. The public safety of all Ontarians must be our government's highest priority. The people in my community and all Ontarians are counting on our government for support and solutions. While there has been progress in taking down gangs and cracking down on firearms, our government must do more to prevent and reduce criminal activity. Speaker, can the Solicitor General please explain what actions our government is taking to increase safety in communities across Ontario? Good question. To apply the Solicitor General. Well thank you Mr. Speaker and I appreciate the question from my colleague and she's right public safety matters to everyone in Ontario and our government takes it very seriously. We're taking action Mr. Speaker to protect the people of Ontario and that's why the government created the gun gangs and violent reduction strategy. We're reducing illegal gun and gang violence by providing the resources to local police, prosecutors and community partners across the province and I'm really proud of this. The strategy funds several initiatives that deliver strong enforcement and prosecution proactive gang disruption and tailored youth and adult violence prevention. Mr. Speaker the amount that we have supported in this fund together with our federal partners is over 256 million dollars and most importantly Mr. Speaker we are a government that has the backs of everyone that keeps Ontario safe. Supplementary question. Thank you Speaker the Solicitor General's response will be appreciated by the many constituents who have contacted me with their concerns. It's reassuring that initiatives through the guns, gangs and violence reduction strategy are providing communities with the resources they need. Since 2018 under the leadership of our premier our government has made it clear that gun and gang violence will not be allowed to thrive in Ontario. Our province continues to see positive results from investments made by our government that support our frontline police and the justice sector. However we must continue to provide more resources that will help dismantle criminal activity. Speaker can the Solicitor General please explain how our government is supporting our frontline police officers in responding to and preventing crime and violence in Ontario. Good question. Once again the Solicitor General. Thank you Mr. Speaker and I appreciate the question and the members correct. Public safety matters and that's exactly why last month our government announced an investment of more than $2.8 million in new equipment and technology to help police services across the province better protect communities against gun and gang violence. And I'm talking Mr. Speaker about the close circuit television more commonly known as CCTV. The funding is being delivered through a special CCTV grant program that is part of our Ontario's gun gang and violence reduction strategy. And we know that 24-hour monitoring that 24-hour monitoring by so many police services across our province are allowing them to keep our community safe. In the end of the day Mr. Speaker we have a right to live safely in our own homes and communities and that's why our government will always have the backs of everyone that keeps Ontario safe. Thank you. The next question. The member for London West. Question is to the Premier. Speaker from the Greenbelt Grab to MZO's to private evangelical colleges this government has shown that if you're a friend of the Premier you will get their special attention. A phone transcript has revealed that the previous minister of colleges and universities who is the current chief government WEP had assured the Premier's friend Charles McVity that McVity's private evangelical college would get university status regardless of the independent application review process. At the same time that minister was telling this House that they quote don't meddle with procedural fairness and that there was quote no way to stand in the way of an independent process. Speaker did the Premier know what his minister was promising to Charles McVity. Mr. Colleges and universities. Well thank you Mr. Speaker let's look at the timeline of events here. Speaker the former minister received PCAB's recommendation and accepted the recommendations years ago. Then the court of appeal dismissed Canada Christian Colleges appeal and the ministry is accepting the court's decision and thanks the courts for their work on this matter. But maybe instead we should focus the opposition should focus their time on matters that courts have already ruled on. They focus on you know what are we doing now. Every year this ministry spends millions of dollars on research to support the latest medical advancements EV and other critical fields. Our government is getting shovels in the ground to build housing, highways, new student housing opportunities across this province. But again the opposition says no to every single initiative. As minister of college and universities I'm ensuring that our government is getting it done through investing in health and resources to ensure that we have more doctors, more nurses and a new medical school in this province. A supplementary question the member for Toronto Centre. Thank you so much speaker. When asked about the approval process for Charles McVeedy's private college in 2020 the former minister of colleges and universities stood in this house and I read from Hansard there is no process that exists that is more fair and accountable than the process we are following and that there was no ministerial involvement whatsoever. Now we learn on the phone he was actually attempting to rig the process giving advice on submissions and promising McVeedy that he would get them where they needed to go even if the independent board did not approve the request. Once again it's only after this government has been caught that they will reverse course. Question to the premier yes or no. When has this government been entirely truthful about this process? Caution to the member on the use of the language. Minister of colleges and universities can respond. I think I've been extremely clear the former minister received PCAB's recommendations and accepted accepted those recommendations years ago the court of appeal then dismissed Candidate Christian College's appeal. We're moving forward this what this ministry is doing is looking at making investments and ensuring that we have more nurses across this province where we increase the number of medical seats. We have a new medical school being built in Brampton as well as Scarborough the first medical schools we've seen in the GTA in over a hundred years. This is the focus of what this trained professionals in all fields across this province. The member for Don Valley North. Thank you speaker my question is for the solicitor general speaker the issue of cars being stolen in the GTA has worsened CBC has cited an increase of 48.3% year over year and Ontario alone. This also happened to my close personal friends Allen, Leo, Alex, et cetera. The shimautical also stated that 80% of the stolen vehicles are leaving the country and much of the profits are used by organized crime rates to fund illegal activities like drug and gun trafficking. Speaker I have heard the growth growing safety concerns from the constituents in my riding are down valley north and some of these crimes have escalated into more violent robberies and even broke into houses to obtain car keys. My question is what is this government doing to ensure Ontarians feel safe again. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Speaker and I want to acknowledge the question from my friend opposite. Our government finds it unacceptable that every 40 minutes somewhere in Ontario a car is stolen and that's why we've made a record investment of over 51 million dollars to provide the technology and grants for the municipal services and the OPP to combat this. Mr. Speaker just last two weeks ago the Attorney General and I were in Bromont, Quebec for the federal provincial and territorial meeting and I've asked my federal colleagues, step it up at the border, step it up at the Port of Montreal. It's completely unacceptable that our cars are going out through the Port of Montreal and I want to acknowledge the announcement made yesterday by Toronto Police Service with the record bust over a thousand cars were identified and recovered. Thank you to Chief Dempke and thank you to everyone at Toronto Police Service that is working to keep our community safe. A supplementary question. Thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you to the Solicitor General for his response. Many constituents have raised the question to me on how so many of these stolen vehicles end up in Africa and the Middle East as this has apparently become very lucrative to criminals. Speaker Canada needs updated federal vehicle of the provincial regulations as well as strong enforcement at our borders. Speaker my follow-up question to the Solicitor General is how can the multi-level government coordinate with each other to resolve this public safety issue. Thank you. Well thank you Mr. Speaker and I want to thank the member for the question. An example of this is how we work together with all and thanks to Premier Ford's coalescing all the premiers and territorial leaders in such a short time to write to the federal government and to urge them to enact meaningful bail reform and C48 is now in the Senate and it's as a result of the leadership of this premier it's important to know Mr. Speaker that we want to keep these violent and repeat offenders off our streets and that's exactly what we're going to do and in the end of the day Mr. Speaker our government cares deeply about our public safety we will do everything we can to keep Ontario safe. Thank you very much the next question the member for Brantford branch. Thank you Speaker my question is for the Associate Minister of Housing. Ontario's housing crisis is having a profound impact on people all across our province parents are worried that their children may never be able to afford to live near them young families are struggling to save enough for a down payment seniors on fixed incomes worry about being displaced. Speaker everyone in Ontario deserves to have a place to live that fits their needs and their budget individuals and families are looking for real solutions in finding affordable housing and they need answers now that is why our government must continue to focus on addressing the housing crisis. Speaker can the Associate Minister please explain what actions our government is taking to increase the supply of housing across the province of Ontario. Thank you. The Associate Minister of Housing. Thank you Speaker and thank you to the member from Brantford branch. I know he has children that live in this province that want to stay in this province and we cannot let the dream of home ownership be extinguished. So Speaker our plan is working. 11 percent of our 1.5 million home target has already been achieved 165,000 homes up I might add 20,000 per year than what the previous government achieved. Speaker our plan is working 14,000 new rental starts year over year up an impressive 43.5 percent over last year. Speaker our plan is working but we know that much more needs to be done for example Speaker working with the Minister of Infrastructure we're looking surplus government lands that we can build affordable and attainable homes response for all our people seniors students newcomers and yes like first-time home buyers Speaker we will not let the dream of home ownership be extinguished. Thank you Speaker it is so positive to hear about the steps our government is taking to increase housing supply that will ensure better affordabilities for buyers and renters. Our government was elected with a mandate to change lives by making housing affordable once again. People who work hard and save diligently deserve to know that they won't find themselves forever shut out from owning a home. For those who rent they deserve security not the fear of rising rents and that is why our government must implement a clear plan to bring about positive results. Speaker can the Associate Minister please explain what actions our government is taking to open opportunities for Ontarians to find homes that fit their needs and their budgets. Thank you. The Associate Minister of Housing. Thank you Speaker and again thank you to the member from Brantford brand. We have a mission Speaker and that's to get keys in the people's hands who need housing whether it's housing stability or the dream of home ownership. That is why we're cutting red tape Speaker the minister below here is right on track with his bills. We're reducing costs. We are expanding the opportunity whether it's slain waste weeks whether it's duplexes whether it's modular housing. We also know Speaker that government cannot solve this crisis on its own. That is why we are convening a comprehensive housing summit in late November. A call to action by all stakeholders Speaker bold innovative and deliverable results will be achieved. We're looking at all partners whether municipal not for profit modular home builders community home builders and yes the private sector Speaker because we believe the private sector is a key component to getting these houses built response in the next 10 years. Speaker we have a bias for action. We have a sense of urgency and under this Premier in this government. We will not will not let the dream of home ownership be extinguished. Thank you. The next question the number four. Thank you Speaker my questions to the Premier. In my community in Niagara Lake people are facing challenges accessing frontline health care services more than one in every three residents many of whom are seniors don't have a family doctor. Getting a nurse practitioner back in the town would help fill this gap in services. The town has reached out to the minister of health who confirmed they would be getting a nurse practitioner services they need. But the town hasn't heard back in a year. Speaker why is the government refusing to help the Lord Mayor the town council and the people of Niagara Lake get the health care they need and deserve. Thank you. Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. Well I'm not sure where the member opposite has been when we announced a $30 million expansion to primary care in the province of Ontario and we are assessing those interests right now. I believe the member opposite and as NDP party voted against that investment. $30 million an increase in primary care multi-disciplinary approach one that I may add speaker is the first time that we have had an expansion in the primary care multi-disciplinary area since we formed these these projects at the beginning we absolutely understand that we need to expand but that is why we are doing so much whether it is working with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and directing them to review expedite and ultimately license internationally educated physicians who are waiting for practice in the province of Ontario. Supplementary. Back to the Premier Minister you made a promise to the Lord Mayor and the council please deliver on that promise. Niagara and the Lake isn't the only community suffering due to this government's mishandling of health care. In Fort Erie residents are dealing with the reduction in the hours of the Douglas Memorial urgent care. Residents who show up late at night in need of help are being turned away. We know that this government's actions like bill 124 and under finding hospitals by billions have worsened the staffing crisis in our hospitals. Speaker when is this government going to address the staffing crisis, stop fighting nurses in court and ensure Fort Erie gets back 24 or 7 urgent care services today. Thank you. Minister of Health. Thank you Speaker. Where was the member when we were announcing and at the groundbreaking for the Niagara South Hospital? Oh that's right he was actually there. So you understand that we are making investments in Niagara region with the new hospital with expanded primary care clinics that are going to make a real difference in his community and communities across Ontario. We will continue to make these investments whether or not the member opposite in the NDP vote against them but I must say when we make investments and expansions in residency positions the NDP vote against it when we make investments in primary care expansion 30 million dollars they vote against it when we make investments in over 50 capital bills whether they are new bills like the Niagara South Hospital or expansions and renovations the NDP vote against it. We'll get the job done. The NDP can continue to oppose all of these health care investments. Next question the member for Perth Wellington. Thank you Speaker. It's time for a real question. A couple weeks ago I had the honour of representing our great minister of long-term care at the grand opening of the West Perth village an upgraded long-term care home of 128 new beds in my riding at Perth Wellington. It was a great day Speaker and I want to give a shout out to the West Perth community and all the volunteers that came together to make this project a reality. The board began this project many many years ago it's unfortunate under the previous Liberal government supported by the NDP there was no movement none Speaker on getting this 128 beds built. Speaker can the minister of long-term care please inform this house on what our government is doing to get long-term care homes built across my riding at Perth Wellington and Ontario. Thank you Speaker. Minister of long-term care. Speaker what a question from the member from Perth Wellington this morning and he brings up some important facts doesn't he it's under the leadership of this Premier that this government in five years has 18,000 homes built for shovels in the ground. Now let's not get lost in the numbers we need to build more and we know that now the member mentions West Perth which is fantastic but that's not the only beds that have been announced since this government came to power let's talk about Ritz Lutheran Villa 128 redeveloped beds at Nalcrest Lodge three new spaces Sogine Valley Nursing Home 87 redeveloped spaces Strathcombe a long-term care nine new spaces. Speaker and we're going to keep going because it's not just about capacity it's about health human resources investing nearly five billion dollars to have the best quality of care and focusing on outcomes as well I want to thank the members of Perth Wellington for a fantastic question this morning. Supplementary question. Thank you Speaker and the minister long-term care would be great to know I got another great question for him. I'm glad our government is taking immediate action to support our seniors and the ones who literally built our great province. Speaker the minister alluded to some of the other great projects in my riding I'm pleased to say under this premier and this minister of long-term care we are going to build and in the process of building 943 new long-term care beds in my riding along speaker. Speaker as we know under the previous Liberal government they built 611 beds in the entire province speaker as many people in this place will know interest rates are higher there's rising costs to construction but that's not stopping us speaker we're going to continue to get long-term care beds built across Ontario can the minister please share with this house what our government is doing to continue to support our long-term care sector to get it done thank you speaker. Minister of long-term care you know that member is not only tall he's hard working and it really shows this morning speaker you know what this last minister of long-term care did recognizing that construction was challenged with increased costs and supply chain challenges he introduced the construction funding subsidy which led to the building of over 11 000 spaces for our wonderful seniors in the province of Ontario I want to thank the minister for that work but that's not all he did he introduced something called the local priorities fund which actually targets the outcomes within our health care system that includes of course long-term care homes you know what this member got in his riding let's talk about it there's eighty seven hundred dollars to spruce lodge for the purchase of diagnostic equipment fifty two thousand to Kingsway Lodge for the purchase of specialized bariatric equipment as well as better outcomes for the dementia seniors that live there at 19 000 to Kingsway Lodge for the purchase of diagnostic equipment and the list goes on speaker because why if we can keep our seniors out of the hospitals for minor ailments fractures that's a better outcome for the hard-working people of this province speaker let's say it again seniors from this country they took care of us that member and this government is taking care of them thank you speaker my question is for the premier two hundred and twelve days ago my private members bill bill 74 missing persons amendment act 2023 was ordered to the standing committee on justice policy that was seven months ago since then there have been numerous vulnerable missing persons reported across Ontario some have died some have been found and reunited with their loved ones others have yet to come home these cases have shaken neighborhoods and the search continues to this day bill 74 is the solution that since right into this legislature on march 6 has come up time and time again as a viable option and resources for our communities it addresses the safety and well-being of lost vulnerable persons so i asked the premier when will you join the over 100 000 ontarians who have signed petitions and bring 74 to committee and pass this important legislation to apply the solicitor general well thank you mr speaker mr speaker everyone has a right to live safely in their own homes and communities and mr speaker i want to give a shout out today because it's important to thank the 911 call operators the telecommunicators they keep ontario safe each and every day just this past saturday night i toured late in the evening the calm center in peel but mr speaker whether you are a senior whether you are a person with an exceptionality whether you are a young person everyone has an equal right to be safe in our province we take our public safety concerns extremely seriously and i want to reassure everyone in ontario mr speaker we will always have the backs of everyone that keeps this province safe the weather is changing in ontario winter is around the corner soon we will have snow and cold temperatures to compete with water will be more dangerous sunset earlier in the day of which will make finding a missing person even more challenging our most vulnerable will be left to brave these elements and so will those looking for them bill 74 fills a gap and adds another tool to the toolbox during the most critical time when a loved one goes missing the time when they may still be close to home confused scared and trying to find a familiar face a time when neighbors can help search increase their awareness and check their familiar areas like their backyards the bus routes and the parks so i ask again for all ontarians including our most vulnerable populations when are you going to pass bill 74 and support for the expanded alert for vulnerable missing people so sir general mr speaker again everyone in our province has a right to live safely but what we're doing what we're doing and i want to tell the member opposite is we're putting more boots on the ground we're making an investment at the ontario police college so that we can have more people to keep our community safe whether you are a senior whether you are a young person whether you are a person with exceptionalities everyone has a right to be safe in our province and that's why our government has made unprecedented investments to put more boots on the ground to keep our community safe to fight auto theft to keep the violent and repeat offenders off our streets mr speaker to this government our public safety matters thank you very much that concludes our question period for this morning order order


He is the editorial page editor of Turkish Daily News, which is one of two, one English speaking Turkish newspapers. And he has also written for the Wall Street Journal of Washington Post various things like also an author of a book on the Kurdish question. We'll start now, please. Good morning or good afternoon, I hope so. And first of all, many thanks for the comments and your team for organizing this event and having you here. It's really very interesting. I don't need any very interesting talks. Well, my topic is the Ottoman Empire and Turkey in which question. And I think that you, as a person a little bit, that's the problem of what the Ottoman Empire was. I'm sure you're all familiar with what you know about that. Let me see how I see the Ottoman Empire and how I see the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Empire, which I've seen as a very useful phenomenon, which explains many things in the territory. Is there any problems in the territory, including the Kurdish? One of the Ottoman Empire was where you were born and lived there once. And it lasted for more than six centuries. And from the 13th century, basically 1922, 1922 would be the end of the Ottoman Sultanate. So it lasted for a long time. And it's ruled what we call the Balkans, the Middle East, North Africa today, including the ceasefire. We are now dead. And one of the remarkable things about the Ottoman Empire, I mean, there are things that really, I think, are very interesting. I think one of the remarkable virtues of the Ottoman Empire was that it was clueless. It was a multi-ethnic and multi-lucid. Well, many parts like that already, but not all. And especially in the Middle Ages in Europe, states that used to, in part of their beliefs, their ideas to be found, like we saw at the Catholic state, the Catholic King of Spain, trying to convert all these thoughts. Whereas in the Ottoman Empire, it was accepted that Jews and Christians had different faiths or different ethnicities were there, and they had their faiths and they were accepted. And this actually comes from the basic teaching of Islam, which respects today's Christianity. Although it's there seems somewhat like not as good as Islam, it's still there. It's said, well, there isn't a truth in those traditions. So they are accepted to exist. And the Ottomans accepted Jews and Christians. They're Christian denominations. They're from the Ottomans. They're from the Greeks. They're from the Churches. They accepted their existence. And they lived in the Ottoman Empire. And actually, interestingly, when the Uber itself in Spain became not too surprising to all of them, or anything at all in the Jews' creative space. Well, of course, they were not any cool citizens until the 19th century. And the traditional Islamic law regarding the Christian decedentity, which was protected by the Sultanate of Constantinople. But they were given a really cool citizenship in the 19th century on the forums, which brought in many ideas from the West, like constitutionalism, and the idea of a cool citizenship. And when the Ottoman Empire, I think that's an important thing we should know. The Ottoman Empire was, in some ways, a pretty modern empire from a long perspective. But the other thing is, the empire started to modernize itself from the 18th century on. And especially in the 19th century, there were many legal reports. And in the 19th century, to learn about Western ideas, the Ottoman Empire took two to three minds. And they had to be had from the next century with much more than they explained to us in a good way. And there were the basics, the French enlightenment and the British way of modernization, for example. And so on, we were more inspired by British liberalization. Others were more influenced by the French Revolution and the general administration of the Enlightenment because of what the society was doing. To develop an answer to the base. In the Ottoman Empire, we had the liberal part, the off-right part, which is freedom's intervention. It was right there in the early 40s. We had a good defense clause. So the modernization of the empire started and that's why the Ottoman Empire had a constitutional warrant in the 18th century. This is important because the official Turkish history of Republic depicts the Ottoman Empire as a dark age and then the Republic came to us and shone by the sun and enlightened all of us before the darkness. This is not true. Of course, the Republic brought in many reforms and continued modernization. There's a history of that. It did not come to the 18th century. Now, of course, this multi-ethnic and multi-religious of the iterative structure of the Ottoman Empire started to crumble down, started to disintegrate in the 19th century, basically because of the nationalists. And first, the Balkan minorities, in other words, the Balkans, when they started the national revolt against the empire and destroyed the influence and they gained their ancient states. So the empire started with the trees that were built best and in actual nationalist ways both with the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the modern traditional state and the great tragedy of the development of the Armenians in 1915 which is very much debated right now in Turkey and all around is a problem, not the Ottoman system, but a problem with the fall of the Ottoman system. Because the Armenians existed under the Ottoman rule of succession that we're having now. Actually, the Armenians defied the Armenians as the loyal nation. But when Armenian nationals in the Armenian region were supported, you had a reaction to nationalism and in the war years, during World War I, especially in the faithful year of NDPT, you had an Armenian nation coming in and back rushing against the fight for government which led to the deportation of the Armenians and which led to the war with tragedy. And for sure, but it was because of the fall of the system. And what happened was that during the last decades of the development of the empire there were different ideological trends. One was called Ottomanism. And the Ottomanism trend was saying, well, we are only cool citizens. Let's just emphasize the cool citizenship of all citizens. Let's try to keep it in the Ottoman model. Yet, the idea was exclusive which was much more refined and sophisticated than today's Islamic fundamentalists. And it was a way of saying, well, the Christian nations will go and there's no way that you can now keep them in the empire. But let's emphasize the sons and unifying ones in different states of the empire. And there was Turkism as a period of elements. And the Turkists said that, well, Turks are really the core of the empire. And others will go. Arabs will go. Albanians will go. So, just let's look at the side of the Turkish. And he had debates in the right way in these two groups. Well, Ottomans had died a little bit earlier because it was obvious that he would have used the Greek sort of surgeons for both areas. And especially, that's the Balfour force in which many of the nations fought against the empire. Ottomans were important. But they didn't have these basics in Islamist and Turkists. And of course, they were different shapes in the way of the 15th century. And what happened was, when the Turkism was founded after the war of liberation against the Ottoman powers, because Turkey was occupied. And Turkey, in the first place, was the rule of war on the one side of Germany. And the Axis powers were both war. And after the war, Turkey was occupied by Greece, partly by British, and in several places under British occupation. So, the Turks, the Turks, and actually the only groups in Anatolia fought a war of liberation against these powers. And then Turkey was a new war of liberation, the Turks, and the Turkey, and the war of the world's war. And the Turkish Republic was proclaimed in 1923. And I think there's a faithful point here. The Turkish war of liberation was not led by a revolutionary commentary or something. It was led by a part of the Turks. Part of the Turkish, not Turkish, but part of the Turkish, which included Turks, Kurds, and some Arabs, which were still the unsoulful ones. And in all sorts of different people, like in the mountains, some very central people, it was a globalist part which really represented the whole nation. And in the parliament, you had two difference all the time. There were two different trends. One was called the first group, the other one was called the second group. And the first group was very much tied to the persona, or from someone came out of Turkey's boundary, the first president. The second group was, I don't know if they were different. They were still fighting for independence if they hadn't been born here. And soon, the first group turned into the people's Republican party, the CHP, which I think she shows. And its leader wasn't the one who had it. But he was at full time. And the second group was not only on the same page, and he was, for a time, it turned into, he led by a thousand creditors to another general level of difficult creation. And in 1923, the JNF head was there. And in 1924, the second group turned into another party, called the African-American Party, or the progressive party. So what he basically had is two different parties from the U.S. and the World Revolution. And the CHP was very much influenced by what I would call an enlightenment fundamentalism. And it's the same idea of French revolutionaries that you need to learn to modernize. You need to create a homogenous nation. All ethnic differences should be swipe aside. You should highlight the mind of the language. You should get a religion and tradition, as we just became, because religion is by definition a backwards. And freedom is good, but unless you achieve this modernity, freedom is bad. So you have to post home freedom to the clients in which you convert everybody to what you want. And if you can turn people into new human beings, freedom is good. But I thought that until that point, you cannot move exactly more than what you want to do. That would see us here, which came from our general official office. And that was the second part of the more recent part. Well, they were not inspired by the inclusion. They were, first of all, not that much in focus on states as an Asian modernity. They were living in free markets. They wrote a book about it. There is an emphasis on free markets. There were more influenced by the British tradition of modernization. In which tradition and religion is not seen as an end, but it just continues on the way as you modernize and you can harmonize the institution and modernity. And they were interestingly and never interestingly interested in integrating the current in Turkey. In fact, in the first century, Charles Mperry, the leader of the party, wrote a published report in 1924. But this report occurs. And I would not move because I was interested in this. He said, we should integrate the current through any culture, through this posturing and through spreading education, and through emphasizing the common traditional values of the sport that occurs. Whereas the CHP was thinking about Turkey finding the current. And they did. In fact, what happened was that there was indeed a Kurdish rule in 1925 that encouraged both. And CHP, first of all, Russia revolved. And then closed down the second progress of the party, the Bolsheviks party, and established a single party regime as we call Turkey. Single party regime is actually using the current through its big military. And so, and not just this second party, but all the civil society is crushed.  And huge movements will be closer to go down. Feminists will go to it. Everything outside of state structure will be able to go down because they believe in the principle of that states should really guide the whole society. And in the 30s, this trend, this was return tradition, became even much more solidified because in the main, the 30s was a time where in which you had a very much return period, not a period of life, so when you was there, well, so many things didn't that seem to me. But it's highly implemented, and so on. And Turkey's TV, in the 70s, the first in the 70s, we took this but we were going to be able to take it. We had the but we were going to be able to take it. We took it there to be the C-grade of the army of the nation. And the size of the Turkish skull was fading with the process. So some of these races came into play there. Well, what happened was that these ideas didn't prevail that much, but their And it was through the very wide range of national vote. And the state thinks nationality is a great thing. National is all over the island. And the country is staying strong. And I think that states and its attorneys in that region still continues and continues all the way. But what happened was, I just said, the second line was a crush. The more conservative the national vote was, crushed in 1925, but didn't die out, of course. And Turkey had its first fair and free elections. Well, we had elections in the old time at the Republican time. The first of the free elections was held in 1950. And what happened in 1950? The part of which represented the conservative slash liberal line came to power with the motto, enough, the nation has the word. Because that's just because the nation has the word is an interesting phenomenon, because in the 30s, the CHP, the elites defined themselves as the governments for the people in spite of the people. That's different from what we in the American government, people in spite of the people. So the opposition, which was crushed, came back under the name of the Republican Party. And they came with a great vote. And the people were fed up with this conservative regime. And they would vote three elections in a row. All of the 1950s and 60s was under the democracy party. And Turkey tried. We got the first foreign investment. There was the Marshall Plan, where everybody came in. And Turkey just openly came in. There was NATO. The economy really became a great progress. And what happened about the 1960s, the military stage of military coup, because the republic was going in a wrong way. It was diverging from their original mind. They executed the prime minister, came to the ministers, that's for short trial. And they, again, restored order.  And this dichotomy between this authoritarian state commission and, of course, the part of society which likes that, because any kind of authoritarian regime, some people like it, because it's a big band of a fact. But the bigger part of society doesn't like that. So you have this psychology between this authoritarian state commission and the whole supply issue that's been speaking to you. And all the other men who have this conservative slash liberal, slash Kurds, slash parties and all of this big chunk of people who just want a more open system, a more open regime. Interestingly, liberals have been very influential in 2000, and they create the fire power in virtual world. They just read the ideas in which conservatives are getting more and more interested. And I think thanks to this tradition, right now we are having a very interesting synthesis of this kind of liberalism, which I think to prompt some more of the world. And that's not a issue which I do not want. But I think today, I don't know if it's very important in creating this synthesis of these things that I'm actually talking about. Okay, a lot of the questions we need to speak about these and maybe I should follow on the curve a little bit. And well, I think this background can give us an idea that these pieces could be on the Kurds. I think the Kurdish history is important because in the case study of this tertiary tradition, it's a case study that shows that how the tertiary tradition really far represents the modernization of creating a new building. The other part, over there, the local world, has been very important to us. I think currently, when I mentioned, we have a lot of students in the country, you're talking about the Kurds, they're students, they're going to be a part of the Kurds, they're going to be a part of it. They're going to be a part of it. They're going to be a part of it, so we get it all into the world and so forth, but that's not going to be about being about being about being about being about being about it. So that is the history of this kind of thing. And currently, we're talking about the tertiary here, but they were wrong. The term mountain, the mountain in trouble is off there. Today, the country is not only a number of local families, but it's a language, it's a state rock, but it's a country. It's a thing that's related to the Russo-German civilization and the ways that the country has to be. So in 2015, when I went to the Kurds, it was like when you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and you were in the Kurds, and you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and you were in the U.S. and the second one was theIntegri mountain. But there weren't any otherеньSerbians. I would trust any Ashurians it might be. I would say those are the major Beyonce people that the volcanos which was a big thing in the academic system. Everybody who wrote calls had 90% of the so-called intellectuals were reading, and thus they got all the information because they were sorry about Marxist, and what Reagan alone called the opium of intellectuals, was free, free of charge. And that Marxist trend created some Marxist theories for the feminist terror organizations, and one of them was heavily also influenced by the Kurdish identity. That was the PKK, which was part of the territory of the terrorist organization, and it's been in war against the government since 1984, and it killed so many people, so that's the territory of the organization. And to me, it's the anarchist movement. So, of course, the Kurdish state has some justification in this framework. I mean, yes, you talked about the population, and you created a problem, but then this doesn't justify terrorism, which is the influence of that. Okay, but seriously, you're not born in this point of energy. They always try to make it much better. Why do people think Marxist is beautiful? Why do you think Marxist is the one Marxist which ends in quite a bit? Both of them. Both of them think Marxist and Marxist, and the same thing for others. But obviously, I don't know what we're going to do with that, and how do you think our existence, based on things that we've created before, can be that critical, which can lead to a different moment in time. It can't be, you know, an opportunity to address the problem. The international state, since the election in 2007, this conservative slash liberal, the only party in the 80th century, 155% of the Kurdish vote, whereas the Kurdish nationalists, gained 25% of the votes, 20% of the votes in the 70s. We chose it not over the courage of the Kurdish nationalists to join today in the state, as many of them are Marxists, and many of them are happy in Turkey, which is liberal. But of course, that views is that, that party is now being trying to slow down by the constitutional court, which is it, which is the hair of that tradition, the state tradition, which Russia said it used to. That's going to have a change of time, but okay, great, thank you. Thank you. We have lunch now, and then after lunch, we'll have our first question, and then we'll discuss it.

Hi guys! My name is Shachi and welcome to my channel. This channel is all about productivity, fitness and lifestyle. Wish you all a very happy 2018 and welcome to the first sit-down video of this year. I'm recording this video pretty early in the morning and Bangalore has just been so cold this year, which is the reason why I'm all wrapped up and cozy in this red thing. One of the best ways to welcome the new year for me is by cleaning up my house. Basically, what that means is by decluttering and downsizing my positions, especially the things which I don't have in use anymore. I did try my hand at minimalism in 2017 with a few baby steps and loved the way it made me feel. So I definitely want more of that in 2018. So in this video, I have put together a 10-day step-by-step guide to minimalism. Now these cover different categories and each category has different items in it. So feel free to go about it in whichever order you want and at a pace that you are comfortable with. At the end of the 10 days, I guarantee you you will feel great and love the space around you. So let's dive right into the video and before we begin, I would just like to say that if you feel that this is a video which is going to help you out and add value to your day, then please show your support by hitting that subscribe button. So let's start with the first category that's personal belongings. Day one is for our bags and wallets. Isn't it annoying when you have to keep digging into a bag to find what we are looking for? So take this day to clear out your bags and wallets. I got hold of my wallet and cleared out old receipts, broken cards, expired credit cards and a bunch of other things which I had no use anymore. You can do the same and then even move on to your handbags and clear them out. Day two is for our clothes and our shoes. Now I understand that it's a big category and it might take you more than one day. That's completely okay. The idea is to go through a wardrobe and collect the clothes and shoes which we haven't worn in a year because let's be honest if there's something which you haven't worn in a year it's unlikely that you're ever going to use it again. So collect all these things and drop them off at a donation center near your house. Day three is for your beauty products and this includes your hair, skincare, makeup and perfumes. These are the things which somehow just get accumulated over time.  I found that I was holding on to way too many lip pumps and this was one of the things that I had to clear off. That completes category one and now let's move on to the next category that is our home. Day four is for your kitchen supplies. So take this day to go through your kitchen shelves and cabinets and I'm sure that you'll find things which are broken, which are unused or you simply didn't know that you have. So take this day to clear out all of this. I found that I was hanging on to way too many plastic containers. Some of them were even broken so I had to clear them off. Day five is for home decor and furniture. I used to love buying decor pieces and knickknacks but I don't do that anymore simply because I felt that it just added clutter and occupied so much more space. So take this day to go through your home decor pieces and you will find things which are tacky, which are broken and things which are simply not your style and do not bring you that same joy anymore. So this is the day to put them aside and clear them off. You can also take this day to go through your furniture and if you find that you're holding on to old pieces of furniture which are broken and not in use anymore then this is the day to let them go. Day six is for your food products. Take this day to go through your fridge and your pantry and collect those food products which are old, rotting, expire and which you know that you're not going to eat. Many times we buy food products but we end up not eating it and it just sits in our shelves crowding in. So take day six to clean it up. Day seven is for your junk drawer. We all have that one drawer or shelf in our house where things which do not have any specific use or place end up getting dumped and this drawer can be a mess. So when I cleared out my junk drawer it was actually pretty amusing because the things that came out of there most of them I had no memory of putting it in there and I had no clue that they even existed in my house. And now let's move on to the third category that's miscellaneous and day eight is for your books and your documents. So go through your book collection on day eight. Now I'm all for keeping books which are dear to you and which hold value to you but there's some books which you read once and you're never going to go back to it. So day eight is for clearing out those books, collecting them and passing it on to someone else who might find it useful. You can also use this day to clear out your documents and this was one of the biggest challenges for me because I always end up with a pile of unsorted documents. So take day eight to go through your document files, categorize them into different categories and get rid of the documents which are no longer useful. Day nine is for digital detox and I think this is something which we should do more often. So on day nine, catch hold of your mobile phones, laptops, iPads and clear out old photos, files and any other junk which is just occupying all that memory space and not useful. What you could also do is take one step further and get rid of annoying WhatsApp groups and subscribe from email lists and basically clear out anything which is just adding to the digital junk and not helping you anymore. And lastly we come to day 10 and this is my favorite. Day 10 is for you. You have gone through nine days of decluttering and organizing and you're about to begin a whole new year. So take this day for yourself. Do something relaxing, it could be journaling, meditating, going for a long walk, catching up with a friend, basically anything which will help you declutter your mind and feel more centered and relaxed so that you begin the new year with a clear mindset and a clear vision of everything that you want to. So that's it guys. These were the 10 days of minimalism and these cover just the basics so if you're in the flow feel free to add more days and add more categories to this list. I also have a printable guideline checklist for you in the description box below. This will basically help you go through these 10 days in a more organized manner. So feel free to check it out and print your copy. Thank you so much for watching. I hope this video has helped you out. If it did, show your support by giving it a thumbs up and hitting that subscribe button. Wish you a very happy new year. I'll see you next week. Signing off for now. Bye.


Hey everyone, it's Gabrielle with Oxmoor Auto Group here today at Oxmoor Toyota here with Chuck. Hi, Gaby. Hey, now it's a little chilly out here today so we're gonna go in and go over some of these details. Now this is the 2020, it's a Toyota Corolla, it's the hatchback, this one's an SE and it's in the night shade which is part of that sportier kind of blacked-out accent, right? Exactly. Okay. Yep, so they bought the hatchback back in the Corolla, it's a very sporty like you said, it's on TNGA, it has Toyota Safety Sense P2.0, so lane tracing assist, road sign detection, it has pre-collision system with low light pedestrian detection and bicyclist detection, so it's the highest level of safety that they have in the front end pre-collision system with Toyota but you'll notice the blacked-out accents, so like even around the lights like black accents, the grille, the blacked-out 18 inch wheels, so these are those low profile like bigger wheels that you would get normally on an SE, the blacked-out side view mirror, handlebars, and even the shark fin on top, you've got blacked out, you've got the spoiler back here, the rocker panels on the side, just everything, even the logo, Corolla, the Toyota emblem back here, SE, everything blacked out, really sporty look on this fun-to-drive Corolla hatchback. That looks really good, I like it. I wish it was not as exciting on the outside when we showed you the inside just sitting the heat, but we left to show this, it looks fantastic. It does look really, really good. I love it. Well, thank you so much, Chuck. Alright guys, if you have any questions, feel free to let us know. Best phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
