A single NDP MP from Edmonton is a louder voice for Toronto residents than 23 mute Liberal MPs Carney destroying our waterfront would be a historic mistake for this city and the Liberal Party
Doug Ford is pushing an expansion of Billy Bishop airport against Torontonians wishes while Liberal MPs remain silent. Instead of answering why, the Minister mocked me for asking! (I am the NDP critic for Transport & the Minister knows this). @NoJetsTO @OntarioNDP

On the run from the law again - evading accountability. No wonder #Dougford called for a 21-week summer break until end of October 2026. 🧐👮🚔 #ONpoli #scandals #investigations #taxpayers #money #accountability
Doug Ford is hiding a FOURTH police investigation, this time involving the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility. It was triggered by one of 19 forensic audits this government has been forced to undertake. @stephaniesmyth is telling @fordnation to release the audit. #onpoli

We wrote about the "spa" over three years ago - in April 2023. We know a lot more now than we did back then. Now, for example, we know the chair of Therme is also prez of Palantir Canada. 😵‍💫 But even back then, the parking plans gave it away - it's not a bloody spa.
NEW: Ontario announces it has awarded a $198 million contract to design and build new parking structure at Ontario Place, to Canadian company Pomerleau Inc. after procurement process. Says it will include 3,500 parking spots, 680 EV charging stations and bicycle parking. #onpoli

I’ve lived in Clarington for over 40 years and have been involved in municipal politics for much of that time. I’ve canvassed for candidates, knocked on doors, attended meetings, asked tough questions, and participated in public debate. In all those years, the worst thing that ever happened was someone disagreeing with me or shutting a door in my face. Never, not once, have I personally experienced the level of attacks, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and toxicity that I have encountered on the Change for Clarington Facebook page during this election cycle. To be clear, I’m not a candidate, nor do I intend to become one. I’m simply a resident who believes citizens have the right to ask difficult questions of people seeking public office without being attacked, ridiculed, or silenced. Democracy isn’t about surrounding yourself with people who agree with you. It’s about answering questions, accepting scrutiny, and engaging respectfully, even when it’s uncomfortable. I will continue to ask questions of candidates, regardless of who they are. That’s not harassment. That’s civic engagement. If asking respectful questions results in attacks, blocking, intimidation, or attempts to silence residents, then we should all be concerned about the direction of our local political discourse. Clarington deserves leaders who welcome accountability, not fear it. Clarington deserves better.

Naming a school after a person who accepted envelopes full of cash is so on par for Doug Ford’s corrupt government.
Today, I am proud to announce that the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s newest elementary school will be named Brian Mulroney Elementary School, in honour of Canada’s 18th Prime Minister. Brian Mulroney was one of the most consequential leaders in modern Canadian history. He strengthened Canada’s economy, championed the French language and Francophone communities, led on the environment as the greenest Prime Minister, and earned international respect for his leadership on human rights and the fight against apartheid. I hope the students who walk through the doors of this new school will be inspired by his commitment to public service and nation-building.

Once upon a time, if a retailer wanted to advertise their product they had to buy an ad. Makes me sad most Canadians don't understand how profoundly they're being fucked by telco "news" and #CdnMediaColludes Bell running an ad for the Westons, badly disguised as "news". 👇

After Wab Kinew declined to sign a memorandum of understanding-MOU to explore an east-west pipeline from Ontario to Alberta citing no Indigenous consultation, Ford flew to Alberta & billed Ontario taxpayers $53,830.92 to sign a MOU for east-west pipline that was DOA.
Watch. During a $189M snap election, Global News FOI found Ford, Lecce & Fedeli secretly billed Ontarians $100K to wine, dine & present Fortress Am-Can to U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington as Mike Crawley CBC couldn't find Americans in the audience. x.com/TDotResident/status/18…

Both our provincial and federal governments are misunderstanding how deeply passionate Torontonians (and many Ontarians) are about preserving the natural beauty of our waterfront cityscape. And to do it for the benefit of an AMERICAN BANK? Outrageous. Expect huge seat changes.

Doug Ford sat in the legislature for 29 days this year. He was on time seven times. We hold grade fives to a higher standard. His priorities? Buying himself a luxury jet. Hiding his phone records. Cutting OSAP. Taking over the Toronto Islands. My priorities? Scrapping the tax on groceries. Saving OSAP. Making life more affordable.

Watch. As Doug Downey said, "You should hear what Ford says in private." Ontarians, after 8 years, are only slightly scratching the surface of Ford's "quid pro quo" -preferential treatment -pay to play schemes -$2.5B alleged slush fund. -Serial grifting

Ontario, Harmon Brampton announced its closure two days after it didn't win the $140 million facade subcontract for Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital after MAGA Ford's regime awarded $140M subcontract to a U.S. company as 700,000 Ontarians were unemployed.

Ford’s credibility problem is his record: ❌ Greenbelt ❌ Rent control ❌ Hydro bill cuts ❌ Autism waitlists ❌ Hallway healthcare ❌ No education cuts ❌ No public health cuts ❌ Transparency & accountability Why should Ontarians believe anything he says? #ONPoli #dougford

Sylvia Jones needs to stop lying to the taxpayers. Yes Ontario is trying to privatize their healthcare so Ford and his buddies can get even richer. When do we finally throw corrupt politicians in jail?
'Absolutely not': the health minister has rejected claims that Ontario has entered a two-tier health-care system. As advocates rallied at Queen's Park, Sylvia Jones argued funding private clinics is about convenience, not privatization. thetrillium.ca/insider-news/…
