According to @OntarioFarms, agriculture is one of the largest sectors of the provincial economy, generating more than $47B every year and supporting about 10% of the province's workforce. How is the destruction of local food sources helping Ontarians? #onpoli #FightForFarmland

Pierre Poilievre presents himself as a hard-scrabble populist. Away from the cameras, the truth is very different.

He’s been consorting with corporate lobbyists at about 50 extravagant private fundraising events since being chosen party leader. #Opinion https://t.co/aP9QczXnmS

2.5 million Ontarians are trying to find a family doctor…

@fordnation is spending millions of dollars to advertise his website telling you where you can buy booze.

Doug Ford’s priorities are just messed up.

@dieworkwear @c_kletzer You're a gem and I've learned a lot about fashion culture. I appreciate your research and writing.

The policy insanity of liberalized alcohol sales is that the profits are private corporate convenience store chains and the health and criminal justice harms are public - borne by taxpayers. What happened to “Respect for taxpayers”? - 1/2

[MichaelHurleyCUPE @HurleyOCHUCUPE]

Meanwhile, more patients (1,350) are on stretcher in hospital hallways than ever before, rural ERs close routinely, only 2,500 new LTC beds have been built of 30,000 promised, private surgeries are extending wait lists and are 3x more expensive.....

[Ontario Nurses' Association @ontarionurses]

Ontario has the lowest number of registered nurses per capita in the country and ranks dead last in the amount spent on health care per person. Underfunding and short staffing are the @FordNation approach to public health care.

#BayofQuinte friends this is why this By-Election is so damn important.
Ford was handed a fragile system from the liberals & has dismantled it further!
Regardless of who you are or what you earn - health care is a priority! That’s why @arobertsonBoQ is my choice!

[Raghu Venugopal MD @raghu_venugopal]

Just stop for a second and think if it's appropriate for the Premier of Ontario to openly promote drinking alcohol. In Ontario, it leads to 6000 deaths/year, 22,000 hospital admissions and 194,000 ER visits/year. @fordnation

The Wilmot farmland grab has been shrouded in secrecy from the beginning. The Ford government forced the Region to sign NDAs and are funding the purchase/expropriation that threatens to force farmers from their land. #ONpoli #FightForFarmland

[Mike Schreiner @MikeSchreiner]

People are still waiting for Ford to fulfill his promise to end hallway healthcare. But, hey, you can buy a cold one at 7 am. #onpoli https://t.co/Ky5LLuQ9Xu

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

False. This is a giveaway to big foreign booze companies that will undermine an already crumbling healthcare system and lead to more violence and crime.

The fight for farmland continues in Wilmot Township. When Ford takes farmland, he takes food and threatens our $50B farming economy.

Ontario Greens will stand with farmers and communities members working so hard to protect the land that feeds us.

Sometimes before moving Forward, it is wise to have a look back. Today let's look at Pierre Poilievre's biggest moment of his 20 years as an MP - his so called 'Fair Elections Act' - which was in fact the antithesis of 'fair'. But it certainly reveals the real Poilievre. 1/6

[Dr. Adil Shamji 🇨🇦 @ShamjiAdil]

The families of nearly 10,000 Ontarians who died last year waiting for diagnostic imaging don’t see this as “a little bit of fun”.

What’s unprecedented is @fordnation’s failure to deliver on healthcare - especially when he underspent by $1.3B last quarter.

Alcohol is a major carcinogen (cancer-causing substance). It’s the second highest substance in annual deaths in Ontario (after tobacco) and costs the most: $7.11 billion currently in direct health and social harms.

The @AnnualReviews has kindly just released what could be considered James Scott’s last brief autobiographical notes.👇

Thanks @margaretlevi for making this happen. I took the liberty of adding Scott’s picture.

I just found out that Councillor Frances Nunziata’s campaign cheated in the last election - the one I lost by 94 votes.

Here’s a my editorialized summary of the Integrity Commissioner’s report and some of my thoughts…1/2
