While workers across Ontario remain on strike fighting for community services, @fordnation just gave himself a 21 week summer break.
So picket line paid a visit 🛶🪧
We're heartbroken by the loss of three members of the wildlandand forest firefighter aviation community near Fort Simpson, NWT. Our deepest condolences to their families, friends, and colleagues. https://t.co/P3mQIhhWIc

NEW: Doug Ford Has Billions For Corporations, Little For Workers https://t.co/K6tznsKPB7
Premier, we brought bubbles, balloons, and face paint. Each of these striking workers is trained in de-escalation. They work with the most vulnerable people in Ontario. Give your head a shake.

Premier Doug Ford is asked about Ford Fest:
Ford says he was “disappointed” that OPSEU dropped off bus loads of people and accuses protesters of using “vulgar language” in front of young children.
(That was not quite the on the ground experience)

The Ford math still ain’t mathing.
What’s sad about this is having a premier who claims to be working for workers but can’t acknowledge workers literally standing in front of him.
All dynasties fall Doug.

Aerial images taken from Ford Fest were colour corrected to adjust an “orange hue,” the government claims, after union organizers accused the Progressive Conservative party of doctoring photographs to make protesters appear like supporters.

We heard Doug Ford was holding a press conference in Toronto.
Striking community, health and social services were there to greet him with a clear message: fund our services, deliver stolen wages, and end the strike. #WorthFightingFor
Ford Fest security tells an anti-Ford protester riding on another's shoulder to get down as Premier Doug Ford ends his speech.
The protester refused until the crowd fades away.
I can’t love this enough.
@fordnation has stifled #Ontario voices for 8 yrs - ramming thru undemocratic policies, decimating pub healthcare, education, and many other services, and lining the pockets of himself and his buddies.
More of this, please:
Hey @SteveClarkPC members from OPSEU local 441 finally found out why they can't reach you in Brockville. You were voluntold to clap on Doug at Fordfest. And Brockville members showed up to let you and your boss know how we feel.
Time to stand up and do your job.
People whistling, waving flags & chanting are a threat @fordnation?
Try working in a school or hospital. More likely to encounter violence in the public instit you are starving.
Yet brave educators & healthcare workers go to work everyday, despite the risks & minus armed cops.
