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
BREAKING: Ontario recorded its steepest drop in labour force participation since 1976 excluding the pandemic, with 71,300 people leaving the workforce in the first quarter of 2026 according to the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario — Global News
Premier Ford and his staff have flown on five separate private flights in a single year
The chartered flights cost anywhere between $1,800 to nearly $9,000 per person, depending on the distance, costing taxpayers a grand total of $143,498.16.

Thank you Leader Stiles for standing up for average Ontarians. The profitization of healthcare has never been worse than under Ford Conservatives. @MaritStiles
LISTEN UP ONTARIO:
Something big is happening in Ontario, and almost no one is talking about it.
Premier Ford has quietly passed a law that opens the door to water privatization across Ontario - and he's hoping you won't notice.
The Water and Wastewater Public
Corporations Act lets the government seize your local water system and hand it over to a for-profit corporation without your consent.
History is clear: when for-profit corporations control our water systems, the results are disastrous:
Bigger bills!
Bad service!
Dirty water!
Water is a human right not a commodity. It's not too late to stop this.
& Tell Premier Ford our water is NOT for sale. Take action now!
And thus marks the end of the legislative session.
Premier Doug Ford is asking the Lt Gov to come to the Ontario Legislature to give Royal Assent.
The legislature has only sat for 29.5 days and is wrapping up two days early.

The Ontario legislature is expected to rise today after seven weeks. MPPs have spent just 29 days introducing, debating and passing legislation.
Queen’s Park is now widely expected to take an extended summer break - with 5 planned sitting weeks to be erased.

🚨#BREAKING: Ontario Liberals are calling on @fordnation to reveal how much his close friend received in a settlement with Metrolinx.
You deserve to know how much the government paid a Ford insider for air.

The view and sounds from the Toronto Islands this afternoon as Doug Ford's Conservatives voted to cut Torontonians out of decision-making about the future of this public space (Doug didn't even show up to vote.) #onpoli
Thousands of protesters accused the Ford government of privatizing public hospitals at a rally at Queen’s Park on Thursday.
Given the government’s significant investments in private clinics, I ask the health minister if Ontario is now operating a two-tier health-care system:
Ford continues to waste time and taxpayer money, when he loses in court (again) and is ordered (again) to turnover his phone records.

BREAKING: Doug Ford lost his appeal to hide his phone records. The court ordered him to release them. Will he comply or ignore the court? What is he hiding?
Parking lot medicine. Did that last night. Dr. Milne and I have a serious concern about ER overcrowding. It's due to inadequate hospital bed capacity. Combine that with unacceptable public drug use and homelessness and it's true, ER doctors like me will be in the parking lot.
NEW: Flu briefings prepared for Health Minister Sylvia Jones. That’s the latest batch of documents blocked from release under the government’s freedom of information clampdown. #OnPoli
