Doug Ford approval falls to ‘worst’ level since taking office, poll finds

It’s great that the Min of Transportation and the OPP acknowledge they are aware and are monitoring the increase of people living in parking lots... But, is the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing aware? #onpoli #HousingCrisis

@Thetrilliumca Shoutout to @isaaccallan and @ColinDMello for uncovering that the Ford government has started 19 forensic audits — serious internal probes into issues like potential fraud — in the past five years.

That story sparked this one.

Another police investigation connected to this government. Another audit they refuse to release. Another question about what happened to taxpayer money.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern.

Ontarians deserve answers.

NEW: As 70% of Ontarians say it’s time for a change in government at Queen’s Park, Premier Doug Ford calls a five-month timeout.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Opposition parties are calling the Ford government's reason for an extended legislative break "BS."

The government house leader, who oversaw the slashing of Toronto City Council in 2018, now claims the PC don't want to "interfere" with municipal elections.

It is a travesty of democracy that Doug Ford’s Tories now spend far more time away from the legislature than they do on the job at Queen’s Park. AWOL MPPs will not return to their desks until close to Halloween. Thursday's column https://t.co/AcpR1g7lMH

Doug Ford has no respect for the people of Ontario. He talks a big game about fighting Donald Trump in front of the cameras, then turns around and hands hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars to American companies behind closed doors.

The Premier thinks the people of our province are his personal cash cows. $30 million for his personal luxury private jet. $5 billion for an airport expansion that benefits Wall Street. Then he cries poor when it's time to fund OSAP, healthcare, or make your life more affordable.

This isn't Doug Ford's money. It's OUR money. Ontarians have every right to know why it's going to these companies, and how much they're getting.

From his phone records to taxpayer funds, it's time for Doug Ford to come clean with the people of Ontario.

What a shock! An American bank, JP Morgan Chase, has all along owned the Billy Bishop Airport terminal, has employed four lobbying firms staffed by ex Liberals, Conservatives and NDPers. All lied on their lobbying registration forms by not disclosing the ultimate beneficiary, the American bank JP Morgan, of their lobbying efforts.

Now Toronto will fill in its lake for a bigger runway to land more and bigger jets so an American bank hidden behind a downtown law firm address could reap in millions. All unknown to anyone.

What a charade of a democracy we have! We don't even know who owns our airports.

How bad does the polling have to get before Poilievre resigns?

#NEW: Doug Ford votes to keep groceries expensive

[Mary-Lou Schagena @radiogirl985]

Hey @fordnation! Breaking ground & breaking promises (again)! "...just $24 million for tackling priority repairs to keep the OSC open for several years to come." The price tag for reimagined OSC is 1.4B. So, how is this being fiscally conscious? 💸💸

Today the Ontario legislature will be debating #LydiasLaw, my private members bill to deliver justice to the survivors of sexual assault. Here's a reminder of how we got to this point. #onpoli

Rural communities in Ontario have been shortchanged by the Ford government's obsession with tunnels, jets and islands in Toronto.

The Ontario Greens support increasing funding so that rural communities can thrive. If you do too, join us: https://t.co/szFxrl2HbP

The fellow who caused the homelessness crisis by freezing shelter allowances as rents doubled sure doesn’t like the minuscule protection the law gives to its victims. https://t.co/3cyZTYoCYM

Of course these Workers are Employees. I look forward to more of these Workers gaining the rights that every other Worker (who hasn’t been *intentionally misclassified* as a contractor!) is entitled to having!

Mark Zuckerberg's massive yacht arrives to Seattle the same day Meta cuts their local workforce by 20%.

Can’t make this up. Billionaires really despise their workers and want them to know it.

#BREAKING: The Ontario PC Caucus voted to keep the tax on food and let grocery giants keep ripping you off.

The Ontario NDP is the only party fighting to put money back in your pocket.
