Premier Ford said today that ed unions are seeking injunctions to keep schools from reopening. We have made no such threat, no legal action pending & have not heard from the gov't since the move to remote learning. More absurd rhetoric from the Premier. #OSSTF#OntEd#OnPoli
Let's review. The RCMP are investigating Vaughan Working Families who have close ties to @fordnation. The OPP are assessing a criminal negligence complaint involving ltc homes. Ford is under scrutiny how he handled Rob's estate. Now we learn $4.4B of federal funding is missing.
.@fordnation's claim that #Ontario's 3rd wave of #COVID19 was driven by our porous borders is simply untrue—this was caused by re-opening in early February against scientific advice.
Also, to date just 1.6% of Ontario's #COVID19 cases were travel-related: https://t.co/MAZxXjzKwV
Of the > 30 people I have seen die of #COVID in ICU and >100 I have treated with this disease, none had returned to Canada on a private plane...or any plane for that matter.
Most got #COVID at work, from a close contact or due to lack of access to timely vaccination.
If the Ford government truly wanted to “limit mobility” they would have done a real lockdown at the beginning of the third wave. Dragging us in and out of half-measured lockdowns that aren’t even based on evidence has hurt our health & economy. #onpoli

NEW: NDP leader @AndreaHorwath calls for @fordnation government plan to speed up 2nd doses. "People should not have to wait 4 months, until the very last second...We need a second-dose play book that’s far less chaotic and less sloppy than the first dose rollout has been” #onpoli
I have to say that Doug Ford is very obedient to his handlers and other big wheels in the Conservative Party. When they tell him to shut up and disappear because he's ruining the brand; he does exactly as he is told. Play dead Dougie! Good boy! #cdnpoli
So to recap,
The Feds snatched highway #413 right from Doug Ford's grip and will now pay for public transportation lifting so many in the GTHA and helping climate😂😘
All while screwing the Ford donors😂❤
I have been around a bit. I have never seen an elected official abandon his responsibilities like @fordnation has. Ontario is in big trouble with this lack of leadership.
Some of you may need to hear this. This may come as a shock to others. @fordnation is not your friend. Doug Ford’s personal wealth has gone from $3 million to $50 million dollars since being elected. How many people of Ontario have seen these kinds of profits for themselves?
The science table advice was clear:
👉14 paid sick days
👉make our schools safe
👉close non-essential businesses
👉vaccines in hotspots
Doug Ford could have made these necessary investments to avoid a longer, more brutal lockdown — but he didn't want to spend the money. #onpoli
Getting vaccinated shouldn’t be a scavenger hunt, where people have to crowdsource lifesaving info.
As #COVID19 vaccine supply grows, Ontario must urgently create a real 2nd dose playbook with a plan to re-book millions of appointments & get folks their 2nd shot faster. #ONpoli

Thank you, Tyler, for your continued efforts to protect Ontarians from COVID-19.
