My father said that I have fire in my eyes, and a devil on my tongue
He meant them both as a compliment
Be true to yourself and others, speak what you think, and have wild ambitions
This is a must read. The Ford government is out of control. Doug Ford was not crowned king of Ontario, he was elected to be an official representative reporting to the public. Ontario is not a PC Party dictatorship. Read and pass this on.
For the record, Premier Ford promised 30,000 new LTC beds and 28,000 upgraded beds by 2028. 6,700 have been built and 4,297 upgraded. That's a 47,000 bed deficit with 2028 coming up.
Toronto ER doc here. I'm less worried about World Cup measles, norovirus and Mpox than I am about the ER patient on a regular day who waits 8-10 hours to be seen, stays 2-3 days in a hallway stretcher or who sits in agony in a chair. We have our priorities backwards.
Tensions ran high & frustrations were palpable at a TDSB parent budget meeting Tuesday night, where parents pressed for answers on hundreds of staff cuts and program reductions planned for this fall.
But the Ford government-appointed TDSB Supervisor didn’t answer questions during the meeting & declined an interview with me afterward. Watch:
It's a simple scene, as so many of mine are, but I can't tell you how much my heart is lifted by the sight of fields full of wildflowers, scattered with barns. I wish you could have also heard the cuckoo calling and the bees buzzing as I stood here, and felt the sunshine on your face. Sometimes all you need in life is an old wooden gate to lean on, and the English countryside in June.

Why is Doug Ford interfering with our Prime Ministers job? He cannot even do his own job as Premier so he should stay in his lane.

We’ve got a jam-packed summer ahead.
From building homes, highways and hospitals to bringing in new investments and unlocking the Ring of Fire, we’re delivering on our plan to protect Ontario.
@tylerwatt@EstherReed19 Can we please get past the jet.
He's done his usual mea culpa, and all's forgiven. It's getting tiring.
Go after him about the FOI issue.
And KEEP at him. Please!
Ford is still really upset he couldn’t keep his $29 million luxury private jet.
Ontarians are upset they can’t afford groceries. #onpoli

Let's get one thing straight:
The only Premier of Ontario who faced very serious and significant security threats is Kathleen Wynne.
Nobody comes close to the security issues she faced, in part because of the bigotry and hate whipped up by the Toronto Sun and Doug Ford.
Doug Ford is not a Prime Minister. Prime Ministers are constant assassination targets who make decisions every day about where to allocate sensitive personnel into war zones and the like.
Doug Ford doesn't need his own air force one except for his own ego and inflated sense of importance.
There is no justification whatsoever for Doug Ford billing the taxpayer for private flights.
He should personally pay every dime back.

As we mark National AccessAbility Week, we recognize the ongoing work to build a more accessible Ontario where every person can live, work and reach their full potential.
Ford’s credibility problem is his record:
❌ Greenbelt
❌ Rent control
❌ Hydro bill cuts
❌ Autism waitlists
❌ Hallway healthcare
❌ No education cuts
❌ No public health cuts
❌ Transparency & accountability
Why should Ontarians believe anything he says? #ONPoli#dougford
Ford Fest is two weeks away!
Join me and our @OntarioPCParty team on June 19 from 5:00-9:00 p.m. at Thomson Memorial Park in Scarborough for an evening of great food, music and fun for the whole family.
For all my dear Twitter pals who are stuck indoors today, come and listen to the sound of much needed rain in Norfolk this evening. The odd rumble of thunder and flash of lightning is happening too - and the air feels so fresh!
Sylvia Jones needs to stop lying to the taxpayers. Yes Ontario is trying to privatize their healthcare so Ford and his buddies can get even richer. When do we finally throw corrupt politicians in jail?
