“Committees still sit,” Premier Ford said this week, defending the record-long summer break at Queen's Park.

But PC MPPs are now trying to cancel all summer meetings of the committee that reviews government appointments, calling it "routine" scheduling: https://t.co/LrItfUDO5S

Many people won't remember history. If you do you will recall that every dictator slowly gained power by changing laws to protect themselves, reducing opponents opportunities to debate and worst of all replaced transparency with controlled publicity. https://t.co/k9AQRTaCBF

Kyle Kulinski: “Jake Tapper wrote a motherfucking book about Joe Biden and his cognitive decline and the massive cover-up. Well Jake, why don’t you get to work on your Trump book now because I guarantee you the cover-up that’s happening with him is way worse and way more severe and they’re covering more extreme stuff. His body is failing and his mind is failing on a regular basis”

Marit Stiles on the Ontario Legislature rising for 5-month break: "We've had an extremely short session. 29.5 days, less than a month that the House has been sitting since January 1st ... there's really important work that needs to be done, it's outrageous."

Moments ago: NDP leader Marit Stiles demands an apology from Premier Doug Ford for “betraying the people of Ontario” during this 29-day session.

“He spent their money on a luxury private jet… sold out the Toronto waterfront… & changed laws to hide his cell phone records.”

[Lorraine Chilelli @lchilli]

@ColinDMello Such a corrupt disgrace. Wake up my fellow Ontarians before this undeserving piece of shit destroys everything we hold dear and bankrupts us in the process with his exorbitant grifts. The only people better off under Ford are himself and his millionaire buddies.

Attendance report card:

Data tracked by the Ontario NDP shows Premier Doug Ford skipped roughly one in three sessions of question period during the spring sitting and was only present for 7 full-length sessions.

Congratulations to Mike Myers on receiving the Icon Award at the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards. 

You’ve made Canada so proud 🇨🇦

We know the Conservative privatization playbook.

Step 1: Defund public services to the point of dysfunction
Step 2: Introduce privatization as a solution

We can’t accept this. We can restore and expand public healthcare with smart investments and innovative local solutions.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles is writing to Prime Minister Mark Carney, urging him to block the Ford government’s plans for Billy Bishop Airport, arguing he is the “only one who can stop this expansion.”

Doug Ford and Mark Carney claim $2.2 billion HST rebate on new homes will help renters become owners. Instead, it’s helping the wealthy buy more rental properties https://t.co/N6ljVY6KC8

Police budget has gone up more under Chow (+22.9%) than under Tory (+19.1%), despite Tory's tenure being roughly three times longer than Chow's (9 budgets vs 3)

🚨 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 🚨

Ford is running away.

When he has to face daily questions about his private jet, his destruction of public education and healthcare, and his undemocratic consolidation of power—his poll numbers go down.

So he's off to his mansion in Muskoka.
