This is a graph of corruption and incompetence. This is the reason Metrolinx and its 120+ Executives need to be charged and...
Ford needs to resign

[Adam ⚾️ @GradyTripp00]

This how you worsen a deeply inequitable justice system that already treats those with economic means far more favourably than those without.

You don't have to be a detective to follow the money and see the kickbacks. Staples got both the Service Ontario locations & the contract for school supplies. Doug, you don't even try to hide things anymore.

Remember, the last "integrity" commissioner was in Doug's pocket. 😂

David Wake covered for Team Ford (and especially for his staff) and when he retired Doug gave him the "order of Ontario" (lol).

Neither are the Russian oligarchs.

This is the major @fordnation story moving forward. We didn't vote for data centers in our communities, stealing our water, electricity. We know Ford does backroom deals with his donors while showing disdain for everyday citizens. This is not the Ontario we want! #onpoli

[Kate Dupuis @DrKateTO]

Premier @fordnation and @PaulCalandra announced their new purchasing scheme (which, no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention, is now routing public money through Staples), in March.

But the portal still isn't ready yet, 5 months later. School starts in 3 weeks! #onted

Against common sense and better judgement, I'm restarting account number 6 from scratch. Again.

Since 2020 I've had five Twitter accounts, with over 30,000 followers and well over 100,000 tweets between them. All gone now.

If you followed @corruptario please follow and share.

Ontario earmarked $1.25 billion of federal funding for surgeries & scans

...but won't say how much of it went to fund PRIVATE facilities

Nail in the coffin

Hey fellow women voters: Doug thinks it's okay to stalk female leaders around the world during their personal time.

Must-read from @maywarren11: Ont. govt. is selling Muskoka waterfront to a @fordnation donor being sued over a Vaughan condo project. A planner for the proposed resort says the govt. is guaranteeing an MZO to overrule local planning. Ford govt. denies https://t.co/btqIBKrsgI

[John Bowker @bowker_john]

After what it calls a “rigorous evaluation and assessment,” the Ford government sold publicly-owned Muskoka land, reportedly with the promise of an MZO, to a mysterious company led by a PC donor who is accused of fraud by Vaughan condo buyers https://t.co/mdvRuWdO7s #onpoli

It's time to retire the myth that Conservative governments are fiscally responsible. On the eve of three by-elections, Doug Ford wants to project an image of fiscal discipline.

He's not.

After 8 long years, Ontario is approaching half a trillion dollars in debt while taxpayers have paid for luxury hotels, a private jet, and insider-friendly spending.

Ontarians are paying more and getting less. #onpoli

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.

You can’t afford a house because houses stopped being homes and became investment vehicles for people who already have homes.

[Cheri DiNovo @CheriDiNovo]

FACT: Ford has the greatest deficit in Ontario's history and has never balanced a budget. The idea that Conservatives are more prudent with tax dollars is a complete fabrication. Pass it on....

🚨 A Kansas police chief used Flock license plate readers to track his ex-gf 164 times & her new boyfriend 64 more times over 4 months.

According to @Flock_Safety every abuse scandal is a success story. You're just overreacting. 🤷‍♂️

Amazon’s customers paid the extra costs of the tariffs, but Amazon, which is owned by Trump’s billionaire ally, gets the $640 million refund.

Do you see the scam yet?

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.

If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

Two months before she killed her children with exercise bands, Lindsay Clancy told her prescriber she was unable to determine what was real. Disoriented, forgetful, confused, disconnected.

They kept writing scripts.

Here's what she reported and what they gave her, in order.

Mid October 2022. A psychiatrist starts her on 25mg of Zoloft. Within days it's doubled to 50.

She reports she hasn't slept in 48 hours. Racing thoughts. Worsening anxiety.

20 October. She reports heart palpitations and says her mental health is getting worse.

They take her off the Zoloft and prescribe Ativan and Benadryl.

16 November. She goes to the ER with insomnia, anxiety and heart palpitations.

She's sent home with trazodone.

20 November. Her mother in law rings a perinatal behavioural health programme.

Lindsay tells them she's "very frustrated, scared" with extreme insomnia and racing thoughts. They prescribe Prozac.

24 November. She reports the Prozac is making her insomnia worse.

So they add Ambien, Remeron and Klonopin. Three more on top.

The very next day she tells the practitioner she's unable to determine what's real. Disoriented. Forgetful. Confused. Disconnected.

Nobody stops.

28 November. She's getting three hours of sleep. Disoriented and scared.

They prescribe Seroquel. Her husband testified last week that this is where "her big spiral started".

2 December. She reports she's suicidal and hearing things.

Three days later she rings a crisis hotline asking to be admitted. She's told she doesn't meet the criteria.

6 December. She and Patrick go back to the practitioner together. He tells them she's far worse since starting the Seroquel.

They increase the dose.

20 December. Back to the ER, suicidal. The next day she admits herself into a programme and is removed, because the doctor says she's just overmedicated and doesn't have a mental health issue.

She admits herself to a different hospital. She's discharged with trazodone.

10 January. A psychiatrist prescribes Valium, then amitriptyline.

On 24 January she reported hearing a male voice say: "This is your last chance. Kill the children so you can kill yourself."

Her kids were 5, 3 and 8 months.

13 psychiatric drugs in four months. She reported it was getting worse at every single stage and every single time the answer was another drug.

Not one person in that chain asked whether the treatment had become the illness.

This was not a mysterious psychiatric event appearing out of nowhere. It was a progressive collapse of brain function under postpartum stress, extreme insomnia, autonomic overdrive and relentless pharmacological interference.

The warning signs were explicit: racing thoughts, palpitations, worsening anxiety, disorientation, derealisation, suicidality and hallucinations. Yet every sign of deterioration was interpreted as a reason to add, switch or increase another drug.

Psychiatry cannot keep pretending that SSRIs, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, sedating antidepressants and hypnotics are inert tools with no capacity to induce activation, akathisia, paradoxical reactions, delirium, withdrawal states or psychosis. These outcomes are documented, and this is not the first case in which severe behavioural disintegration followed escalating psychiatric polypharmacy.

The most disturbing fact is not that one clinician made one mistake but that an entire system repeatedly watched her lose contact with reality and still treated the worsening condition as proof that she needed more chemical suppression.

At some point, the treatment became part of the disease. The establishment does not want that sentence said out loud, which is exactly why it needs to be said louder.
