Politics in Ontario

Former QP/Ottawa Hill/Capitol Hill staffer sharing political news from Ontario. Tweet @OntarioPolitico for a retweet. #Onpoli

@SimmerAnand @fordnation Fair enough. Point is, his present actions should not erase past indiscretions. As a former political staffer, I would expect you to understand that.

[Simmer Anand @SimmerAnand]

Premier @fordnation heard that 90,000 masks were waiting to be delivered to Ontario's healthcare warehouse. Without telling his staff, he personally drove his truck on Sunday afternoon to pick up the masks and have them delivered. That is real leadership. #onpoli #FlattenTheCurve

BREAKING: Ontario lowering maximum gathering size to 5 and bringing in penalties of up to $100,000 fines and a year in jail for individuals caught price gouging #COVID19 #onpoli

@SimmerAnand @fordnation @JohnTory @JustinTrudeau I absolutely love this. This should be Canada's slogan #TeamCanada #ontarioshutdown #essentialservices @TheAgenda @spaikin @robferguson1 @robertbenzie @TheTorontoSun @globalnewsto @CityNews @TheHillTimes

A big day at Queen’s Park today as all parties united to pass tenant protection legislation licketty-split. Laura Stone from the @globeandmail reviews it all with us tonight at 8/11 pm on @tvo’s @TheAgenda #COVID19ON #onpoli @l_stone

My fellow Canadians:

Ask not what staying at home on the couch can do for you, but what staying at home on the couch can do for your country. #FlattenTheCurve #cdnpoli #onpoli #CoronaVirusCanada

Thank you for keeping us safe @fordnation @JohnTory @JustinTrudeau

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford is worried several disgruntled @OntarioPCParty MPPs are poised to defect to the Liberals, the @TorontoStar has learned. #onpoli

The @OntarioPCParty government's loosening of campaign finance rules will enable unions and corporations to donate through a back door. #onpoli

Congratulations to my friend, the Hon. @VictorFedeli, on delivering his first ever Fall Economic Statement for Ontario! We look forward to working with you and your team in the coming months and years. Keep up the great work! #onpoli @CdnClubTO @HydroOne

[Simmer Anand @SimmerAnand]

I wish @mppjimwilson the very best on his journey to recovery. It takes strength and courage to seek treatment. #onpoli @MacLeodLisa

[Kathleen Wynne @Kathleen_Wynne]

Thank you, Ontario, for allowing me to be your Premier for the past 5 years. This has been the greatest privilege of my life. Please know that every day I have been your Premier, and a minister and an MPP, that I have worked to think about your needs.

[Hilda Hardy @HildaHa05771304]

@OntarioPolitico @fordnation Apparently these 'thousands of members......" are more important than the 125,500 who were denied their right to vote, and Christine opposed an extension for them. She is showing that she does not give priority to the Party, the Province, or the goal of beating Kathleen Wynne.

"Buying back $4 billion in Hydro One shares is costly and “will not take one cent off electricity bills. What it will do is send billions to the stock market". So, your plan is to add MORE debt to an already DEBT RIDDEN province? 😂🤣 #onpoli

[Politics in Ontario @OntarioPolitico]

Let's be clear: The NDP plan to buy back Hydro One, at an added cost of billions more....And let's also be clear: buying back Hydro One WILL NOT lower hydro rates in the province. That is simply not how things work, sir. HINT: stick to being a doctor ;) #Onpoli https://t.co/XwxHL0Fk7B

[Dr. Atul Kapur @Kapur_AK]

@OntarioPolitico You should look at the Auditor General's and Financial Accountability Officer's Reports on how many $Billions the Liberal policies have cost and will cost if not reversed. THAT is reality. Hint: don't use examples that are so easily disproved. #onpoli

[Politics in Ontario @OntarioPolitico]

Fair argument, @Kapur_AK. But the fact remains: Andrea Horwath is simply not a good leader. The platform also has gaping holes in it. Take the party's plan to buy back Hydro One....Seriously? At what cost? Billions more? Just an example. We have to be realistic here #Onpoli https://t.co/ssesTy1EfI

[Dr. Atul Kapur @Kapur_AK]

@OntarioPolitico @OntarioNDP @Kathleen_Wynne @fordnation Sorry, but I don't subscribe to Strategic Voting because it's the "Lesser of Two Evils" argument and either way you're supporting an evil choice. I'll take the positive option. That's @AndreaHorwath and the @OntarioNDP #onpoli

[Politics in Ontario @OntarioPolitico]

The problem with @OntarioNDP is that they have a terrible leader, who simply does not resonate with Ontarians. Yes, she is likable; but people don't take her seriously.@Kathleen_Wynne is the only one who can keep @fordnation at bay. #onpoli https://t.co/evuVBgi15Y

[Dr. Atul Kapur @Kapur_AK]

@OntarioPolitico @OntLiberal @Deb_Matthews @jorgeagomezzz Thanks, .@OntarioPolitico but there was one better: #OntarioPCsforHorwath

[Politics in Ontario @OntarioPolitico]

The @OntarioPCParty is a perpetually burning dumpster fire. Between the events w/@brownbarrie, the disastrous and illegal nomination battles, the fractures between the so-cons and red tories in the party, and now the #PCPOLdr battle...I'm voting for @Kathleen_Wynne..Sorry #onpoli

[Politics in Ontario @OntarioPolitico]

Very. Well. Put. Perhaps the best tweet that I have seen ALL day!! CC: @OntLiberal, @Deb_Matthews, @jorgeagomezzz #Onpoli #Cdnpoli #PCPOLdr #ontarioPCparty https://t.co/BGUtMie757

[Dr. Atul Kapur @Kapur_AK]

Let me get this straight: @OntarioPCParty
- had online balloting,
- converted each ballot to pdf,
- printed out each ballot
- then SCANNED each ballot to electronically record each vote?
Good luck with that "finding efficiencies" in govt, folks 😂🤣
#DumpsterFire #onpoli #pnpcbc

[Politics in Ontario @OntarioPolitico]

@IndividualGal @celliottability @fordnation @OntarioPCParty The longer this dumpster fire continues to burn on, the worse off the @OntarioPCParty will be. The @OntLiberal is having a field right now. This party is unbelievably disorganized and fractured. They are not ready to lead, at all.
