NEW: Premier Doug Ford has charged Ontario taxpayers more than $140,000 over the past year to charter private flights across Canada and the United States, according to publicly available records.

The Ford government confirmed we won’t be back at Queen’s Park for 102 days.
While I’m excited to spend the summer in Nepean meeting with residents, businesses, and community groups, Ontarians deserve a government that’s willing to show up and do its job.
After calling a snap election to “Protect Ontario,” it’s hard to understand why this government is taking 5 months off while families continue to struggle with the cost of living, health care, and housing. #onpoli
No money for schools, no money for healthcare but $5B to destroy and pollute a neighbourhood and some of Toronto’s only natural waterfront habitat remaining? Something smells @fordnation
Grocery prices have never been higher. ER wait times are up 67%. Over 1 million Ontarians needed food banks last year.
Instead of fixing these crises, Doug Ford is hiding phone records, covering up scandals, and wasting billions.
This is the cost of his corruption.

BREAKING: Doug Ford lost his appeal to hide his phone records. The court ordered him to release them. Will he comply or ignore the court? What is he hiding?
Healthcare in crisis and Toronto expects 1 million visitors for the FIFA games — during which Ford is allowing bars to stay open until 4 a.m.
How have Ford and Sylvia prepared for the impact of 1M on the already overwhelmed paramedics and ERs—increased staffing and funding?
Just a reminder.
School boards across Ontario are making huge cuts to staff and programs right now.
Not because they hate kids.
Because Doug Ford has stripped away their funding over the past 8 years.
Put the blame where it belongs.

god damn it.... son of a bitch... I just realized that Blueys mom works in airport security... and Blueys dad is an archaeologist.... Bluey's mom's job is sniffing, and Bluey's dad's job is digging up bones.... because they're fucking dogs.....
Just got wind that @fordnation's supervisor is cutting all but two outdoor beloved TDSB education centres. In addition to adult education centres and school crisis counseling.
If they are stripping schools and hospitals to the bone, where the hell is all our money? #onpoli
Interesting how around the same time this government was announcing cuts to OSAP, they were also making installment payments on a luxury private jet for Doug Ford.
Students were told to tighten their belts while this government spent taxpayer money like it was nothing. #onpoli
Bullshit. People across Ontario are feeling the impact of 8 years of your expensive scandals where hundreds of billions of our hard earned tax dollars are secretly going to your Gravy Class pals through bogus lawsuits, contracts and schemes. Don’t try to gaslight us. #Onpoli
In my entire voting life, I’ve never seen a premier attack, defund, diminish, and disrespect public education the way Doug Ford has.
Teachers, educational assistants, education workers, nurses, and health care staff have been pushed to the brink for years understaffed, underfunded, and blamed for a system his government has neglected.
At the same time, I’ve never seen a premier elevate policing onto such a political pedestal while public education and public health care crumble around us.
The message is loud and clear: some public servants are celebrated endlessly, while others professions dominated by women are expected to quietly absorb the cuts, burnout, and disrespect.
Ontario deserves a government that values education and health care as much as photo ops and tough-on-crime politics. Doug Ford needs to go.
Doug Ford gave Honda $2.5 billion of your tax dollars.
Now Honda is halting production and 1,000 jobs could be gone.
Did Ford attach any conditions to that money? Any strings? Any accountability? No.
The Premier got caught with his hands in the people's pocket, buying himself a luxury private jet with plush leather seats...you can't just 'move on' from that,
Minister, the people want answers.
#BREAKING: I've written to Prime Minister Mark Carney, urging him to intervene to stop Doug Ford's Toronto Islands land grab.
While emergency rooms close, grocery prices go up, and workers lose their jobs, Doug Ford’s obsession with Toronto is costing the province.
The federal government can end this today.
Watch closely, this isn’t happening by accident.
Doug Ford is following the same playbook we’re seeing elsewhere. Step by step, it mirrors what Danielle Smith is doing in Alberta and what the U.S. system has normalized for years.
This is how it starts: Underfund public healthcare → create frustration → introduce “alternatives” → normalize private, for-profit care → bring in insurance-driven models.
And let’s be clear the capitalist private insurance companies have been eyeing Canada for decades.
There’s been pressure going back to the Harper era to open that door.
Because once it opens, it doesn’t close.
Universal healthcare isn’t just a system it’s a safeguard. And if people don’t pay attention now, we risk waking up to something very different.
This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s a pattern.
And patterns matter.
Let me explain something. Our provinces receive billions of dollars of transfers from the Feds to cover healthcare costs. When 75% of hospitals are running deficits, this is because the funding is not being properly directed to the hospitals. The Province is solely at fault here.
