In 2024, @karenmccrimmon asked a simple question. How did @fordnation plan to deal with the next wildfire while actively cutting Ontario’s firefighting budget?
Two years later, wildfires are ravaging Northern Ontario, and the province is scrambling to respond.
If we properly funded wildland firefighting every year, Ontario could plan ahead, strengthen prevention efforts, and respond faster before fires grow out of control and harm so many Ontarians.
You’re seeing the consequences of those choices every time you step outside.

This week we learned hundreds of nurses in Ontario are losing their jobs due to 8 YEARS OF FORD GOVT HOSPITAL UNDERFUNDING. We also learned Ontario lost 16.7K jobs in June. So I was once again reminded what Doug said when he campaigned to become Premier⬇️
It's increasingly clear that the Ford government has no credibility, no ideas, or any interest in governing.
It's about power, deception, a lack of transparency, doing shit that doesn't matter, and trying to hide from criticism and negativity.
Something is rotten with the PCs.
Look closely at this post. The drink cans are labelled "Ford". The shirts, pants, flags, signs and hats are all labelled "Ford". This is not an "Ontario" BBQ. This is a Ford promotion for himself, paid for with out tax dollars. This is a disgusting abuse of power and tax money.
The self-proclaimed most transparent government in Ontario's history, folks.
"Premier Doug Ford's daily calendar will now be kept secret from the public, CBC News has confirmed, following recent changes to Ontario's freedom of information law — which no longer includes access to records held by ministers and their offices." #onpoli

Doug Ford: “one of the most transparent governments in the history of Ontario.”
Has blocked freedom of information requests for:
❌ his phone records
❌ the convention centre
❌ Billy Bishop airport
❌ the Greenbelt
❌ hospital budget cuts
❌ the Skills Development Slush Fund
❌ the Ministry for Seniors
❌ the taxpayer funded payout to his friend Carmine Nigro...

As cabinet approved Trumper Ford's $30M gravy plane, Trumper billed Ontarians $5.5B to allegedly bail out U.S. bank at Toronto Islands & Sylvia Jones intentionally missed Nurse Practioners OHIP funding deadline while billing Ontarians credit card.
Look at all the Toronto neighbours who joined us on Parliament Hill to call on Prime Minister Mark Carney to shut down the Billy Bishop Airport expansion proposal!

Doug Ford's Minister of Education spent the entire session standing in front of cameras across Ontario and even in London UK to announce fake funding for our classrooms.
Minister Calandra thought he could silence students and educators by performing accounting tricks on camera.
Instead, he got caught with his pants down after documents revealed his $750 for classrooms were all smoke and mirrors.
$200 million taxpayer dollars…for a parking lot… for a private company’s spa.
All the while, Doug Ford says there’s no money for healthcare or education.
“Momma, the politicians should come into the schools and ask the KIDS what we need. The adults always think they know what we need, but nobody ever asks the KIDS!” -12yo, on politicians
#OntEd@PaulCalandra
Rohit Gupta, @PaulCalandra personal friend & supervisor at the TDSB refused to anwser questions from parents on the budget, drastic cuts to staff & valuable programs. Let's NOT forget he has NO education experience but was a failed Metrolinx employee who was fired.
We should have been going to the polls a week ago.
Now you know why Ford changed the laws on fixed date elections. When a law doesn’t work for him he changes it.
This is who he is, who he has been - no “aw shucks, I made a mistake” is going to fix our province
@OFLabour
@TinaYazdani how can any school board across Ontario balance a budget when the Ontario Govt has under funded them for the last 3 + decades. you can't manage little to diddly squat. what does the Ontario Govt have against educating kids and others?

This terrifying story illustrates just how shortstaffed #onted elementary schools are. I feel for this mother because even the best safety plans come undone quickly when support staff are away with no substitute available. #tvdsb#cdned#edchat

The latest saga about how Billy Bishop bolted out of nowhere to the top of provincial and federal priority list is a good sign how wealthy funds owning our critical infrastructure will work. Scant regard for democracy. Army of lobbyists, insiders of all parties, work in the dark room to deliver what the richest owners need - even if it seizing an airport from the city.
The Toronto waterfront skyline is one of the most gorgeous city skylines in the world. I will never forgive any political party that kills the natural beauty of our beloved Toronto skyline at the expense of Canadian taxpayers for the benefit of an AMERICAN BANK!
It's traitorous!
