Today’s announcement proves that the mounting opposition to Ford’s cuts is working, and it shows that we need to continue to push back until these deep cuts to frontline services are reversed once and for all. #onpoli
@Milbank Dear friend: what you fail to see is "blaming" corporate greed and some billionaires for inequality is not hateful at all. It is an important factor that must be addressed and has been largely neglected by Democrats and Republicans in recent history.
On #Budget2019 – we know better is possible.
Universal pharmacare for all
Radical shift towards a green economy
Making corporations & the rich pay their fair share
Half a million units of affordable housing
We would make different choices that actually prioritize people!
On Trudeau's interference scandal:
We knew the halls of power were rigged for the ultra-rich – it has been for decades in the PMO.
What Ms. Wilson-Raybould revealed in detail is just how far that rigging has gone to put the needs of the corporate elite over everyday Canadians.
If anyone in Toronto still thinks we are not facing a homeless shelter emergency - look at these pictures. We must do more. We are simply not moving fast enough.
Wishing everyone the best for this New Year and beyond. May we all develop greater kindness and inner peace and thereby create greater equality and justice in our world.
Today, I encourage all Ontarians to take a moment to reflect on the peace and freedom we have as a result of sacrifice and vigilance of those women and men who served, and serve, our nation. https://t.co/Y9xL7TYrPH #CanadaRemembers
Congratulations to @PhilTrotterNDP and Etobicoke-Lakeshore Faith Leaders Forum for being recognized by @NMCLC1 for exemplary grassroots interfaith work.
Doug Ford is now vowing to make things even worse for Ontario's workers.
His comment about rolling back labour laws was troubling to every mom who counts on those sick days, & every worker who earned vacation time with their family. Taking things away from workers is wrong. 1/4
I’m calling on the Minister of Education and the Ford government to come clean about their plans for public education, and to clearly reject the risky privatization experiments outlined in their report. #onpoli

@MaiteeSaganash@JustinTrudeau@RomeoSaganash is a man of integrity. I could see his integrity when he used the f word. If our PM (who has also sworn in the house) had this kind of integrity & honesty, greater progress could be made between the Feds & Indigenous communities.
#TheOfficialOpposition with @AndreaHorwath as she sets the NDP vision forward: stopping Ford and replacing with change that is truly for all the people!
Doug Ford is suspending Charter rights all for a personal vendetta against his political enemies at City Hall.
Our democracy includes an independent judiciary & a free media to protect ppl from politicians who believe an electoral majority is a mandate to trample people’s rights.
