Why is special education (already underfunded for PDSB by $45 million) being cut from $21.7 to $16.7 million?
Why is capital spending rising so much, leaving a $10.9 million deficit?
Why is this document only 13 pages?
Why was no one consulted?

Wait, so… you mean to tell me that maybe… just maybe… the problem was not mismanagement but rather the chronic underfunding of education under the Ford government?!? I’m shocked! 😳 #OntEd
After Ford billed Ontarians $1B for a Ontario Science Centre at Ontario Place, Tina Yazdani cited structural engineers that stated Ontario Science Centre remain open during roof repairs & cost less than $30M.
A pissed off Ford said, "thank you for that."
"Do not go to the emergency department for a sore throat" Premier Ford has said. I'm here to tell you to ignore this non-medical advice as not all sore throats are the same. A sore throat can be acute myeloid leukemia. 👇👇👇
With written, informed consent from the patient, my ER colleague and I have submitted for peer review and publication, the case-report of a healthy patient who came to the ER with a worsening sore throat and flu-like symptoms. The physical exam was concerning and bloodwork was diagnostic for acute leukemia.
The bottom line is simple. Doctors, nurses and politicians don't get to tell people when to and when not to go the ER. We rely on and trust the general public to define a medical emergency. That's the best way to ensure the ER is the medical safety net for all Canadians.

Just got polled about the upcoming Beaches-East York federal by-election and many of the questions were about the expansion of Billy Bishop.
Maybe @MarkJCarney@stevenmackinnon are finally starting to catch on that they need to act now and stop @fordnation's terrible plan?
Look at me folks. I’m in the U.S. hiding from Ont reporters who want to know my business. I’m showing off my new pamphlet called Fortress North America. I have no clue what it’s all about, but I love waving it around like this. -Doug Ford, Governor of Ontario
Rav has farmed this land for years and her message is clear: Highway 413 will destroy some of the best soil in the world and it's soil that can never be replaced. We're at McVean Farm in Brampton, standing on the kind of land we simply cannot afford to lose.
It's time to stop Highway 413 and create a Foodbelt to protect our precious farmland and support the farmers who feed us.

NEW: Most of the Ford government's 1 per cent boost to core education funding this year isn't new money.
$234.2M (about 74 per cent of the increase) comes from existing education dollars shifted from other funding envelopes, according to ministry data.

Watch Ford (spoiled man child) have a massive tantrum after Marit Stiles said, "Every day not only a new headline with more job losses....but another conservative insider maybe a STRIP CLUB owner or maybe not cashing in this this gov pay to play scheme."
Temperatures in Toronto and across Ontario could be in the low 40s this week. While Doug Ford is gallivanting around the United States, extreme heat is bringing grave danger not just for the unhoused, but also for renters without access to air conditioning, particularly seniors.
As global temperatures continue to rise every year, we need to make sure no one is fearing for their safety when the heat comes. With Homes Ontario, we will get affordable homes built at scale to end the housing crisis; and our Hot Days, Cool Homes Act will protect renters by mandating safe temperatures in rental units.
If Doug Ford is going to a conference that is beyond the scope of his office, it's a personal trip.
He should pay for every expense especially the private jet and the OPP security costs.
Doug Ford needs to resign. He's out of control.
Can we please start normalizing the idea that Ministers should actually be qualified for the portfolios they oversee?
What a radical thought.
Teachers need education degrees. Principals need years of experience. Yet the person running Ontario’s education system doesn’t need a background in education?
Paul Calandra’s background is in insurance, business, and politician, not education. So it’s a fair question: why is someone without professional experience in education making decisions that affect every student, parent, and teacher in this province?
The same standard should apply across government. If you’re in charge of education, have an education background. If you’re in charge of health care, have health care expertise.
Competence shouldn’t be optional. It should be the minimum requirement. #dougfordsucks
HOW TO GET RID OF A PREMIER?
Legally the Lt Governor has the authority to dismiss the Premier and call an election:
-extreme constitutional crises - Premier governs illegally
-the Premier commits an illegal act.
1) Ford's abuse of office to keep records secret
2) Ford corruption
If you have been tracking Doug Ford's vacation trips to the USA you will notice that all the states he is visiting are MAGA states. Keeping in mind that CUSMA is being stalled or blocked by MAGA. So tell my how Ford meeting with our adversaries is helping? IT IS NOT.
“This is the scandal that just keeps going! Other premiers fly commercial Ford has no excuse! He just wants to fly in luxury! He thinks he deserves it! Shows how completely out of touch he is with Ontarians!”

Highway 413 threatens 29 species at risk. I went to see what Ford is willing to destroy.
Tell Doug Ford to cancel Highway 413 now: https://t.co/aI7nI1PpEZ
Watch. Tina Yazdani reports Ford & Calandra's TDSB Supervisor, Rohit Gupta was actively fighting a Toronto policy meant to "protect school lands" from mid-rise development.
Critics say, Trumper looking to sell off active school properties to developers.
