Keeping lobbyist from taking government appointments the people who are picking judges on a Monday are then actually making money by lobbying the government on a Tuesday that’s a strange look that’s a bad look something Reed thinks the government needs to keep in check it gets into problems when it’s a little
Too kind with its cronies and Pals that’s what was behind the green belt and right here this is taking them down the same path the NDP still wants the government to resend their appointments to that judicial committee leader Mar Styles says she hasn’t seen the premier this worked up since right before he

Work to track down those who may have been exposed and I’m Pat foren coming up on consumer alert as the temperature drops it’s important to be careful if you’re driving this evening but you’ll also want to watch out for Icy walkways and sidewalks thousands of people are hurt
Each year in slip and fall accidents we have some advice that story is just AE brief periods of lake effect snow off and on as we head into the early evenings so as Pat mentioned be careful as you head out on those sidewalks and walkways temperature- wise it only gets
Colder as well as we head throughout the evening but that’s just seasonal it’s just been a while since we’ve been this cold coming up a full look at your long range forecast and stay with us we’ve got another night of great shows for you right here on
CTV it’s been a day of wild swings in the weather and as the temperature drops tonight we could have slick streets and sidewalks every year tens of thousand of Canadians are hurt in slip and fall accidents so you want to be prepared for icy conditions here’s Pat forign and
Consumer alert Pat Nathan and Michelle it’s been a mild winter for many of us so we haven’t had to deal with a lot of ice and snow but that could change tonight you may want to be ready with salt and sand to get a grip and avoid a trip to the emergency
Room when the streets and sidewalks are covered in ice and snow it doesn’t take much to slip and fall you could end up with a sprained ankle or a much more serious broken hip Hillary patnik had to visit an emergency room when she broke her wrist the whole thing happened so
Fast one minute I was walking and the next I was on the ground Catherine mom green slipped on her icy driveway and is thankful she wasn’t seriously hurt all I know is that I hit my head really hard a good first step is using rock salt or ice melters on your walkways and
Driveway around your home before a storm lay down a thin layer of salt then another layer during the storm it can make it easier to shovel and clear away snow and ice but there are some downsides as salt can seep into porous pavement and damage walkways and driveways they’re all basically one of
Three compounds sodium chloride magnesium chloride or calcium chloride and they work slightly differently but in the end they’re all salts and they can all cause the same damage salt can also harm plants and your pets Paws the best way to minimize damage is to try and use less mix it in abrasive like
Sand for added traction and don’t put a lot of stock in ice melts claiming to be environmentally or pet friendly ice melts with a coating on them may claim to be less damaging once the coating wears off you’re just left with salt anyway a better plan is to set up a
Rinse tray at your entrance so you can wash salt from your pet’s Paws and when you go for a walk choose to write Footwear such as boots with non-skid rubber treads for even more traction consider a pair of ice cleats also known as ice spikes campons and micro spikes
They attach to your shoes with rubber harnesses or straps and have spikes or screw heads that dig into the ice to keep you from slipping which could save you from taking a nasty tumble and Ice spikes are great for traction especially if you’re into winter running or hiking but they can
Seriously damage flooring so remember to take them off before you step inside on your side I’m Pat forign if you have a consumer store story idea email us at alert Cv.com that was the end of it yeah we went from 16 degrees down to six in the span of I think it was about 17 or 18 minutes it is intense and it’s going to continue we’re now looking at lake effect snow making its way into the GTA
ALS oo impacting the drive in addition to the wind weather is brought to you by train the most reliable heating and cooling brand it’s hard to stop a train the number of different kind of forecast that we experienced today continues and now we’re looking at a few Lake Effect
Flurries continuing to make their way in and that wind is still Wicked we topped out today at about 16.5 degrees and we are now nowhere near that and the good news is we’re getting towards the tail end of it but we’re still dealing with those really strong wind gusts we’re at
Minus – 4 it feels like -3 Ottawa the outlier right now they’re still warmish it’s 2° but it feels likeus 5 Northern Ontario those wind chills into the mid-30s the wind gusts now have dissipated a little they were at 91 kilm an hour maybe 20 25 minutes ago now
We’re at 74 still very windy and this continues right through to the start of the day tomorrow temperature wise as we head through the overnight this is seasonal we should be about – 6 – 7 so this is back to where we should be but
With the wind chill and the wind gust it feels so significant and this is where that chance for Flash freezing takes place more so out towards St Peterboro bankra and Kingston they’re looking at those windshield values in that mid minus 20 range for us it is still very
Significant that minus5 is nothing to play with now as we get into the day tomorrow seasonal we have the lake of f flurry is a chance of them in the morning then we get a bit of a break into the afternoon and right across the board we return to a much more seasonal
Daytime High the bulk of this low pushes its way in towards Quebec but it’s behind it that we see this trough that’s going to extend over the Great Lakes that’s prompting these Lake Effect FL flurries and that carries us right through the overnight thanks to a strong Westerly or northwesterly wind as we
Head through the rest of our evening Lake Effect flurries are going to impact us getting into the day tomorrow we could see a little sunshine that chance of flurries into the first half of the day and then Sunshine we start to see a really kind of beautiful second half to
Our day and then by Friday 8 degrees on the positive side of things so we really go from zero to 100 real quick both ways and then as we get in towards the weekend not bad but yesterday just to give you some context we got up to 21.4
Degrees the last record set back in 200 14 so getting into the day tomorrow very seasonal as we head in towards Friday we kick off March 8 degrees for the high three for the low 10 a piece across the weekend a few showers but then really we

Make sure that she’s a safe as she can be the potential is there for Toronto residents to have been exposed to measles at Pearson Airport it’s known to spread through the air and what that means it can stay on surfaces like door handles and light switches but it ALS
Also can stay in the air and it can stay in the air for up to two hours after somebody who’s infectious has left that space if your child is younger than 12 months and so has not received their measles or MMR shot they can still get it we recommend getting a dose before
