The P3 contract to build the 3-km Pape stretch of the Ontario Line comes in at a whopping $1.4 billion per km. The per-km cost of subway construction has more than quadrupled under the Ford government https://t.co/RhBnQvQc3Q #onpoli

Ford's Finance Minister is investigating government agencies to "protect taxpayer dollars."

Let's start with the Ford government itself:

💸 $190,000 expensed for Ministers' hotels, limos, liquor, and high-end restaurants
💸 Largest cabinet in Ontario history with 37 Ministers at a salary of $223,909
💸 Proposed $30 million gravy plane
💸 Proposed $5 billion Billy Bishop airport expansion to bail out JP Morgan, an American bank

Doug Ford is staging announcements with a podium, a banner, and no reporters allowed in the room.

Why? He's scared.

Scared of questions about the jet, the hotel bills, and how much these fake events cost you.

A premier who runs from the people has no business governing them.

A packed room and roaring support at our Hamilton East—Stoney Creek Campaign Kickoff event last night!

My mom's story is Scarborough's story.

I'm running to change it.

The Hot Days, Cool Homes Act helps protect tenants from extreme heat and ensures their homes are livable in warmer months.

We set temperatures thresholds to keep homes warm in the winter. We need the same to keep tenants safe in the summer too.

Hospitals are borrowing money to make ends meet in Ontario.

Why?

Because of a $2.2 BILLION drop in capital since 2020.

1300 jobs have been lost this year, deficits reached $500 million, and the Ford government still refuses to adequately fund our healthcare system.

Not to worry everyone! Doug Ford taught MPP Cho a lesson: Cho *volunteered* to stop being a Minister.
He’ll still be an MPP.
He’ll still be in the Conservative caucus.
He’ll still be able to continue doing this.

That’ll teach MPP Cho for messing with Premier Tough Guy!

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

NEW: Donors to the PC Party have funded thousands of dollars in meals, flights and hotel room costs for Willowdale MPP Stan Cho — a former senior minister in Premier Doug Ford’s cabinet who resigned amid a spending scandal at Queen’s Park.

Between 2023 and 2026, the MPP billed the office for pricey dinners at steakhouses and lobster restaurants, airline tickets, hotel stays at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier and even the cost of renting a vehicle from a limousine company.

This is the Fatima I know.

She carries her mom's story with her everywhere, and it's why she'll never stop showing up for Scarborough.

She's the real deal. Together, we're going to win Scarborough its fair share.

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

Ford cut 1300 staff from hospitals and tells them to make more cuts.

Ontario has:
🔻the lowest per capita hospital funding in Canada
🔻the fewest hospital beds
🔻2,000 patients being treated in hospital hallways

💸 The highest per capita spending on gravy planes and taxpayer funded ads telling us what a good job he's doing.

Enough is enough. The community is demanding answers, accountability, and a plan to end black soot fallout over our lower city.

I’m guessing *never*, as in:
“When will Doug Ford pay back the $200k tab he stuck Ontario’s taxpayers with when he was shamed into returning his #GravyPlane?”

[TheTrillium.ca @Thetrilliumca]

No update on when MPPs will pay back Toronto hotel expenses https://t.co/cubDZHwYsM

Our schools get hot!
Our kids deserve a safe place to learn or go to daycare. Our workers deserve protection from extreme heat when they're on the job.

If you would like to support Bill 123: and cooler schools, please sign our petition: https://t.co/M2lnHVC8gU

Don't play politics with my kid's future! @Fordnation is engineering a teacher's strike during the school year. Teachers have been pushing to bargain for months...gov is delaying.
As a parent of a K-12 child, I am livid!

Ford is choosing to underfund our hospitals (again).

[MichaelHurleyCUPE @HurleyOCHUCUPE]

With funding increases of less than 1/2 of rising costs, hospitals everywhere are forced to cut. A vital service being deliberately eviscerated.

Ford government won't release hospitals' cost-cutting plans, citing economic harm https://t.co/BH1kv86dON via @Thetrilliumca

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Nobody in this country should be told to show up, put on a uniform, and work for free.

Solidarity with WestJet flight attendants who are on strike today after years of working up to 35 unpaid hours a month.

[Ontario NDP @OntarioNDP]

Monique Taylor has a strong 14-year record of delivering for Hamilton, writing Katelynn’s Principle into Ontario law and forcing Doug Ford to reverse his cuts to autism services.

As our candidate in Hamilton East–Stoney Creek, she’s ready to join Marit Stiles and Hamilton’s Ontario NDP team to scrap the tax on groceries, protect Hamilton jobs, fix our hospitals, and hold the government accountable to Hamilton families.

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

Ford government decides Ontaians do not have the right to know what is being cut from our hospitals.

Ford has demanded a 3 year plan for cuts but refuses a freedom of information request to know what is being cut.

What is this government hiding?
Under Ford:
🔻38 emergency rooms face permanent or temporary closures,
🔻 Emergency wait times are up 67%,
🔻 2.5 million Ontarians do not have a family doctor
