70% of Ontarians now think it's time to fire Ford. No wonder he is hiding from any form of accountability until Oct 27th. #onpoli #onted
NEW: As 70% of Ontarians say itβs time for a change in government at Queenβs Park, Premier Doug Ford calls a five-month timeout.

I asked my fellow Ontario Liberal MPPs to name Doug Fordβs biggest failure this legislative session.
Turns out picking just one wasnβt easy.
Hereβs what they had to say. π #onpoli

PM Carney: 75% of grocery stores are the same five large retailers. Those retailers dominate the supply chains and they leave independent grocers with fewer options and higher costs.

The Ford government is escalating its fight to cancel all summer meetings of the committee responsible for vetting PC appointees to provincial agencies & boards, now taking the dispute to the Speaker.
Critics say itβs βastonishing the lengths theyβll go to not be held accountable.β
But the government argues historically, this committee has never met during breaks.

Would you trust someone under four police investigations with your hard-earned money?
Ontario taxpayers deserve answers.

For those claiming "who cares - there is no election until 2029, earliest", just wait for the fall when teachers, students, parents and the majority of Ontarians join together in solidarity against Ford's increasing cuts to #onted. #onpoli

#BREAKING βΒ but not surprising: Doug Ford's approval rating fell 10 points to just 21%.
In the last few weeks, we put forward real plans to lower grocery costs:
β
Remove the tax on groceries
β
Ban surveillance pricing
β
Stop grocery giants from blocking competition
Doug Ford voted them down.
Then he bought a $30M jet, changed the law to hide his phone records, sold out Torontoβs waterfront to American billionaires, and took a 21-week vacation.
When you vote against relief and choose yourself and insiders instead, people notice.

Second day in a row a colleague of mine has left school with a migraine due to extreme heat. Imagine being a student, trying to learn.
We can't work from home.
Teaching conditions are learning conditions!
Please share and support @jamiewestndp.

Doug Ford closed Queenβs Park for 5 months, THEN promised committees would keep working.
So why did I drive in from Niagara Falls to do the work, only for his PCs to fight like hell to cancel summer meetings?
Is there a promise Ford wonβt break? #onpoli

Tensions ran high & frustrations were palpable at a TDSB parent budget meeting Tuesday night, where parents pressed for answers on hundreds of staff cuts and program reductions planned for this fall.
But the Ford government-appointed TDSB Supervisor didnβt answer questions during the meeting & declined an interview with me afterward. Watch:
