Still $1200 less per student than when you were elected 5 years ago. And boards are laying off staff as a result. Nice try but no cigar.

The Ontario Place privatization deal would steal 155 acres of public space and nearly 1000 trees from Ontarians… and it will take away $650 million of public funds. Sign to keep Ontario Place a public place open for all https://t.co/AM1wdGrObL

This week, RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group raided Wet’suwet’en land and arrested 5 land defenders. C-IRG continues to violate Indigenous rights to make way for environmental destruction. Sign the petition to #AbolishCIRG https://t.co/muq2P9K36c

Ontario's healthcare system is in crisis and @fordnation is using #Bill60 to funnel public money to American-style, for-profit clinics, pretending it's a solution to the crisis he created. Send a fax to voice your opposition. #ONPoli #healthcare https://t.co/7QOkFpd372

#TransMountain is begging for another $10 billion from Canada’s banks. Tell @RBC @TD_Canada @BMO @scotiabank @CIBC @nationalbank it’s a terrible investment. https://t.co/t1DoiLGayO

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

This is horrifying. Investigators just confirmed that Russia has taken thousands of children from Ukraine and put them into Russian re-education camps. Let’s demand their safe return, now! 🇺🇦 https://t.co/QdfXSKx3l7

Canada: make no mistake. We are witnessing the dismantling of publicly funded healthcare in Ontario in a deliberate and orchestrated manner by the Ontario government. There is no effective manner to stop this situation. It is hegemony.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

The CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil (ADNOC) will now run the upcoming climate talks at COP28 in Dubai.

"[This is] tantamount to a full-scale capture of the UN climate talks by a petrostate national oil company and its associated fossil fuel lobbyists.”

Liar. They’ve destroyed the health system, and lives, so that they could use this line. This was the plan all along.

It’s absolutely monstrous. And Doug and Sylvia didn’t do it in a vacuum. Lots of greedy people are helpful move healthcare privatization along.

@DianeNTherrien It sends me to the moon that Peterborough has no problem splurging on a $65-million twin-pad arena but only $7 million from ALL 3 levels of gov't, for the homeless. It's unconscionable.
