Manitoba just became the first province in Canada to legislate nurse-to-patient ratios — and this week their implementation committee released their first roadmap for how it rolls out. This is massive. This is historic. And every other province should be doing the same. When
Doug Ford gets an F.
The legislature sat for 29 days this year.
Doug Ford used that time to buy a jet, try to take over Billy Bishop, and restrict FOI requests to hide his records.
He didn't fix a single thing for people struggling with rent, groceries, or gas.
The Ontario NDP will keep fighting for solutions to make life more affordable.
Brad was John Tory’s protégé on City Council. Tory endorsed him to be the “same kind of councillor” as his predecessor, who also voted overwhelmingly in lockstep with the mayor.
Have Brad’s supporters already forgotten his history at City Hall? Or are they hoping voters will?
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.
We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.
Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬
You are impacting housing plans for 100,000 housing units right now by not saying no to jets. Say no to jets right now, Prime Minister Carney!! https://t.co/3Cv28KdSCF #cdnpoli#topoli
Community consultations are absolutely critical, but the choice facing the Prime Minister is clear. Premier Ford is in the middle of a land grab, and the federal government has both the power and the responsibility to stop this irresponsible and anti-democratic move.
The fact that Doug Ford seized the land from the City of Toronto in order to ram through a project owned and operated by American banking giant JP Morgan tells you all you need to know about who will benefit from his plan.
Prime Minister Carney ran on a promise to protect Canadians from Donald Trump and stand up for Canadian sovereignty. He cannot sit on the fence while Doug Ford hands more power to Wall Street.
Like Ontario Place, the Science Centre, and so much more, Doug Ford is acting as though Toronto is a playground for him and his CEO friends. It isn't. Toronto belongs to the people, and the people don't need or want the jets, noise, traffic, and pollution that this massive expansion would bring.

He fired his own caucus chair for raising concerns about the $30M jet.
While families struggled with grocery bills and hospital wait times, the Premier has spent the last 10 weeks managing his own scandals.
He works for the big billionaires of America.
Not you.
At Queen's Park, Tourism Minister Stan Cho yells that the Ontario Liberals had 15 years in government with "nothing to show for it but record debt."
In fact, Ontario's debt under the Ford government is set to cross half a trillion dollars next year under Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy

A 102-day summer vacation after sitting for only 29 days this year. If you were trying to avoid questions about your own corruption, this is what you'd do.
Doug Ford’s government said its FOI changes weren’t about hiding records.
Now those changes have killed a journalist’s request for records on the Billy Bishop expansion.
The records aren’t being released. The public may never see them.
This is exactly what he wanted.
In Doug Ford's Ontario, you need a credit card to see a doctor.
$80 per visit. $400 for a "membership."
For healthcare you already paid for with your taxes.
He's creating two classes of patients: those who can pay more and those who can't.
I wrote to Prime Minister Carney today.
Doug Ford said Canada wasn't for sale. Then he rammed through the Billy Bishop expansion – pushed by an American company tied to JP Morgan.
Toronto's waterfront is being handed to Wall Street.
The expansion can't proceed without federal approval. Prime Minister, don't approve it.
Actually @MarkJCarney and your Toronto federal MPs have to be the proponents of this nightmare because they control the Island Airport and all the laws regarding any expansion. @fordnation is just the stalking horse. #Cdnpoli#TOPoli
We have a message for politicians taking marching orders from JP Morgan instead of listening to the people: Hands off our waterfront! #topoli#onpoli#cdnpoli
PM Carney: STOP this madness.
Economic dev. is when cities retain and attract best people.
How?
Making living Healthier & Happier the easier choice.
Toronto needs the islands & airport as PARK.
Make it a National Urban Park.
Do what is right.
For now: STOP the airport expansion!
