Ford on his 3500 spot concrete parking monstrosity: "We are going to have a massive sign that says Ontario Place. You watch, it's going to be the number 1 place where people take pictures." You can't make this up. #ONpoli

Doug Ford talks about Protecting Ontario... 🚨 Wildfire season started ✈️ 3 waterbombers grounded 👩‍🚒 100 firefighters short 💸 $42M cut from response Ford’s legacy? A forest firefighting program that’s undervalued, underfunded, and a province unprotected. #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

Ford's goal is to make money off Ontarians to access their own parkland. Ford promised Therme a $400 million taxpayer funded garage that will form a wall between Toronto and its waterfront. #ONpoli #SaveOntarioPlace

Ford says it's "none of his business" where Therme gets their money. He's giving $2.2 billion of YOUR hard earned money to a company that lied about their credentials. Cancel the deal at #OntarioPlace. Now. #ONpoli

Due to climate change, fire season lasts longer and is more extreme. Toronto had the worse air quality in the world earlier in June due to smoke from wildfires. Yet the Ford government cut Ontario's firefighting budget by $42 million. Ontario's wildland firefighters deserve better. #ONpoli

The Ford government wants to hide older long-term care inspection reports, limiting public access to just 3 yrs of data. This would shield bad actors from accountability and make it harder for families to choose safe care. Transparency shouldn't have an expiration date. #ONpoli

1 year since Ford closed the OSC, depriving a generation of kids of science education. The Conservatives' own notes stated that the OSC was being moved to Ontario Place "to dispel public/stakeholder concerns relating to cost and impact on the environment" of the Therme megaspa. #ONpoli

Ford insults First Nations fighting for their legal rights. The insults are a divide and conquer strategy to scapegoat First Nations. Bill 5 is an attack on not just treaty rights, but the democratic rights of all Ontarians. #ONpoli #StopBill5

Mr. Ford goes to Washington and the taxpayers got to foot the bill. During an election, the Premier is not allowed to use taxpayer funds for campaigning. Ford said he didn't, but he did. New documents show $100,00 were used for trips to D.C. #ONpoli

Ford hides his housing failure. Conservatives delete their online housing tracker because: ▶️Housing starts are down 17% ▶️Only 323 new homes are started each month—the second lowest in Canada #ONpoli

First, the Conservatives cut public health before a pandemic. Then they cut wildfire funding as smoke fills our skies again. This government’s timing isn’t just bad—it’s dangerous. #ONpoli

During the pandemic, seniors in for-profit care homes were twice as likely to get covid and die. The armed forces reported seniors dying of thirst and sitting in soiled diapers for days. Now Ford wants to hide the inspection reports of care homes. He's protecting profits and sacrificing seniors.

Today, I am meeting with MPPs @chrisgloverndp.bsky.social and @lisevaugeois.bsky.social to discuss the Ford government's plan to bury #LTC inspection reports. Stay tuned for more on that discussion.

Wildland firefighters have been sounding the alarm for years. They’re underfunded, understaffed—and now Ford has cut $42 million from Ontario’s firefighting budget for 2025. And fire season? It’s just begun and Ford is on a 4 month summer break. #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Private cataract surgeries bill taxpayers $1200 per surgery vs $500 for public hospitals. They also coerce seniors into paying thousands out of pocket in violation of the Canada Health Act. Ford is expanding them. #ONpoli www.thestar.com/business/the...

As wildfire smoke engulfs Ontario and the Federal government sends in Armed Forces to help. Ford cuts the budget for wildland firefighting and goes on vacation. Toronto had the worst air quality in the world this week due to smoke from wildfires. #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Ontario's unemployment rate hits 7.9%, the third highest in Canada. Who could've known that paving the #Greenbelt, billions in corporate welfare, and backroom deals wouldn't build a resilient economy? #onpoli

Just 23 sitting days—and now Ontario’s legislature is off until October 20? Doug Ford called an early election over a so-called “economic war” with Trump. But now? No urgency. No solutions. No Legislature. #ONpoli

Today, the Ford Conservatives passed Bill 5. This is an egregious attack on our democratic rights and the rule of law in Ontario. Now, we have to fight together to kill Bill 5.

Ford's latest assault on our democratic rights: No vote will be required at committee to pass Bill 5. If there is no Committee vote, "the Bill shall be DEEMED passed by the committee." Ford is passing legislation that assumes we have already voted in his favour. #onpoli

🚨 Doug Ford’s Bill 5 is an assault on democracy, Treaty rights and the environment in Ontario. Environmental defenders, civil liberties advocates, & Indigenous leaders are linking arms to stop Bill 5 before it wipes out the Endangered Species Act and take away our rights. #ONpoli

Not only do Ford's Conservatives refuse to build affordable housing, they veto Toronto's efforts to build when developers lobby them. Ford Conservatives scrapped 5,000 units of affordable housing requirements after pushback from three REITs. #onpoli www.thestar.com/real-estate/...

Personal email used to make secret deals. A developer sent maps of land that he wanted removed from the Greenbelt to Ford's Executive Assistant. Buys tickets to a Ford family fundraiser. The rest? You know the story. The developer thanked Ford's EA for helping with his "Greenbelt glitch". #ONpoli

Bill 5 allows Minsters to declare any community in ON exempt from all Municipal & Provincial laws. To the Minister: "Do you realize how profoundly undemocratic Bill 5 is to allow a Minister, by fiat, to override By-laws as well as our democratically created Provincial laws?" #ONpoli #TOpoli
