Ford consolidates power so he can get away with more corrupt deals.

Strong Mayors power are an assault on our democratic right to majority decision making. They allow a Mayor and 1/3rd of elected Councilors to overrule a vote by 2/3rds of Councilors.

Ford pushed ahead with this consolidation of power in spite of public feedback.

Why is Jivani taking pictures with a U.S. official who called Alex Pretti and Renée Good terrorists and defended their murders at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol gestapo?

He should explain himself.

@chrisglover @CowboyCoffey When is the RCMP going to finish their single investigation into the Greenbelt Land scandal? This is NOT a speedy investigation and it’s been since Oct 10,2023. If there are guilty parties involved they should know by now!
When do the other investigations start?

NEW: ‘Protect Ontario’ and other ad campaigns cost taxpayers $55 million last year across 3 ministries.

The latest FOI records we obtained reveal the Ministry of Finance spent $21.4M on ads last year.

We are still waiting for records from 5 other ministries.

Frankly, seeing a photo of that low IQ, entitled, fat assed, nepo, wearing blue collar work clothes is hilarious to me. Doug Ford has never done an honest day's work in his entire life. Born into wealth, high-school educated, hash dealer, Trump lover.

“Mean-spirited and abusive” is gentle criticism of Kristi Noem by U.S. Navy commander Phil Ehr - also on the Board of @NovaRedMining - there’s no place in Canada for a disgraced 51st stater like Noem. She needs to stay state-side.

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.

The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).

The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.

Here's the story:

For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.

So why isn't it open?

Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.

In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.

It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.

Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.

So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.

Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

Okay, I can't let this one go. These OPSEU workers came to Ford Fest after being denied meeting after meeting. They care for our most vulnerable, and they're owed wages Ford took under Bill 124. His response? He literally erased them from the picture to make them look like supporters.

NEW: The Angus Reid Institute says it sent a legal letter to Premier Doug Ford after accused them of putting out a “fake” poll.

The company says:

"I confirm the existence of a legal letter sent to Premier Doug Ford. Angus Reid Institute stands by its work and its long record of independent, non-partisan public opinion research. We do not intend to litigate this issue in the media, but we do believe the public record should be corrected."

We’ve asked the Premier’s Office whether Ford intends to retract his comments.

UPDATE: Opposition wins this round at Queen’s Park. The committee that vets Ford government appointees will keep meeting over the summer months.

The PCs had tried to cancel the meetings. House Speaker Donna Skelly ruled against their efforts to shut them down. #onpoli

Last year @FordNation spent a record $112 MILLION on government ads.

TAXPAYER $ that could have bought -

@TheJasonPugh Conservative MapleMAGA MP Jacob Mantle wrote a racist comment on Facebook during his Queen’s University years, then doesn’t even resign from his position as ASUS President.

CPC believes he represents Conservatives and reflects their values.

It’s a gold rush.

✔️ A senior Ford staffer is lobbied by a $45 billion gold gold mining company.

✔️ That staffer pushes through approvals for a controversial mine while ignoring Indigenous communities.

✔️ Said staffer leaves government to go work for the mining company.

Who’s @fordnation’s government really working for anyway? 🤔

[TheRationalHuman @beasmarterhuman]

@chriswarkentin This is a GOVERNMENT of Canada account Chris! You do not make libelous allegations against anyone on here, let alone the Prime Minister of Canada without consequences.

This is beneath the dignity of the office which you serve. Apologize and resign.

🚨#BREAKING: Despite our best efforts, Ford’s PCs blocked routine vetting of public appointees for a second time.

@fordnation doesn’t want you to know who he’s putting in Ontario’s most powerful positions.

How far will Doug Ford go to avoid accountability?

The RCMP announced a Greenbelt investigation in 2023.

It’s now 2026.

No charges. No public update. No explanation.

Ontarians don’t need a particular outcome.

We do deserve transparency.

What’s the status of the investigation?
