I know we’re all used to getting our voter card before voting, but this is a snap election and you may not get it in time! You don’t need it. Go vote! #topoli #onpoli

Doug Ford cares so little about Ontario he has twice gone to suck up to Donald Trump during this campaign and people who support him are exactly the people who will support a referendum on separation to join 🇺🇸. Understand what is at stake in this election. #onpoli

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

Doug Ford has no friends rich or otherwise. He has people that know he is so dimwitted that they can easily take advantage of him for their own benefit. It’s been like this his whole life, and this is the fool voters put in charge of Ontario.

When the police tasked with initially investigating the corruption of Doug Ford then come out and endorse him, do not expect good results for Ontario if he is elected, he is now above the law. #onpoli

One major reason why your property taxes keep increasing is because the taxes you already pay to the province aren't going back into shelter/housing. Ontario remains the only province that forces municipalities to cost share homeless programs, all while enacting policies that increase homelessness.
