Ontario's NDP says the pace of upgrades to Highways 11 and 17 in Northern Ontario isn't moving fast enough, as the Ford government grows more politically sensitive to the safety issue on two of Ontario's longest highways. #onpoli

STILES: Doug Ford’s luxury lifestyle is costing taxpayers From @MaritStiles #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/stiles-do…

Doug Ford uses his phone for government business. The courts ordered him to release his phone records – so now he’s changing the law so he never has to. What is Doug Ford hiding?

Ontario's FOI system could be dramatically altered once the Ford government passes the budget this week (as early as today) But documents already show how bad the system already is. #onpoli

La motion du député @john_vanthof pour déclarer les routes 11 et 17 d'importance nationale a été adoptée à l'unanimité : « C’est une victoire durement gagnée pour les communautés du Nord qui réclament depuis longtemps la sécurité qu’elles méritent », a-t-il déclaré. #onpoli #onfr

BREAKING: Marit Stiles’ motion to ban the predatory practice of surveillance pricing in Ontario was voted down by Doug Ford’s government. These are the faces of our elected officials who voted to side with corporations over working people. Remember them. Doug Ford, days after being caught buying a $30M private jet on the taxpayers dime, didn’t even bother to show up for the vote. Shameful. The Manitoba NDP government passed a similar bill, the Saskatchewan NDP is proposing it, and Canada’s NDP proposed it before it was shut down by the Federal Liberals – and now the Ontario NDP’s motion was defeated. It’s clear that the NDP is the only party fighting to make life more affordable for people. More to come.

Speaking of not going to fly, watch to the end of this clip to hear Doug Ford say exactly that.

In March 2026, NDP MPPs @john_vanthof, @BourgouinGuy & @solmamakwa travelled Highways 11 and 17 throughout Northern Ontario to speak to those who live with the dangers of these highways every day. Here is a documentary showing what they saw & heard youtu.be/4IlK8n46KxU?si=S0Qj… #onpoli

Thanks to @john_vanthof, @tedhsu, @BrandenCPC, @TrevorJonesCKL for joining our #MarchClassic. Your support helps Ontario farmers thrive.

OFA welcomed @john_vanthof, MPP for Timiskaming-Cochrane & Critic, Agriculture, Food, Agribusiness, onto the #OFAgm25 stage this morning to talk about the importance of food processing and the grocery code of conduct. We always appreciate your dedication to helping #ontag be the best it can be!

Thank you @john_vanthof for voicing your strong support for supply management today at Chicken Day 2025! #Iheartchickenfarmres #ontag #onpoli

The Minister needs us to "shout"

The latest: A company awarded $37M by the Minister of Favours David Piccini, whose lobbyist’s Paris wedding he attended and whose executives he joined in box seats at a Leafs game, has been referred to the Ontario Provincial Police after an audit into misuse of Skills Development Fund dollars. I’ve written to Premier Doug Ford demanding he fire David Piccini.

While Doug Ford dodges and distracts, northern workers pay the price. They're trying to get his attention because 2,500 jobs are on the line. His housing failure hit their sawmills. Letting Kap Paper close might be one hit too much. #KapuskasingStrong

BREAKING: Ontario’s Auditor General says Ford’s Skills Development Fund process was “not fair, transparent or accountable.” Add it to the pile. Greenbelt: “Not transparent, objective or fully informed.” Ontario Place: “Not fair, transparent or accountable.” Doug Ford has no respect for taxpayer dollars — and while 800,000 Ontarians look for jobs, he only delivers scandals.

Iroquois Falls showed strong support at our Community Open House! We were joined by Mayor @ToryDelaurier, MPP @john_vanthof and CAO Brian Finner. Thank you to everyone who participated - leftover food was donated to the local high school to support students.

The “confusion” was that he clearly & explicitly asked the federal government to deny First Nations the right to clean water, and continues to do so. First Nations have rejected the insincere & disrespectful non-apology, and continue to call for his resignation #onpoli #cdnpoli

Ontario leadership says it will spend $125-million for 20,000 knee and hip replacement surgeries starting in 2026. This at privately owned surgical clinics when these could be managed at existing public hospitals. Plus there is no requirements for outcome data to be shared.

We cannot accept the false narrative that private clinics will improve our health crisis - they will drain money & resources and allow profiteering to enter the public health space. We need to oppose privatization of our health system like our health depends on it!
