Can we please start normalizing the idea that Ministers should actually be qualified for the portfolios they oversee?
What a radical thought.
Teachers need education degrees. Principals need years of experience. Yet the person running Ontario’s education system doesn’t need a background in education?
Paul Calandra’s background is in insurance, business, and politician, not education. So it’s a fair question: why is someone without professional experience in education making decisions that affect every student, parent, and teacher in this province?
The same standard should apply across government. If you’re in charge of education, have an education background. If you’re in charge of health care, have health care expertise.
Competence shouldn’t be optional. It should be the minimum requirement. #dougfordsucks
As we enter this heat wave, I want everyone to remember that @fordnation bulldozed one of the only beaches in Downtown Toronto that was accessible for free and he wants to do the same with the islands
@dan_wheeler@Tuesday_Antwi@ProgressiveGuy_ lmao it's 2026 and you're still blaming the wrong people. Holy sunken cost fallacy. I would say just admit you were wrong but everyone you've loved has probably distanced themselves from you and you will continue to sink into the abyss.
Doug Ford’s Conservatives are giving $360,000 of taxpayer’s money to a private golf club in Kapuskasing, while its only hospital runs yearly deficits as a result of chronic underfunding.
Textbook example of the deeply flawed priorities of this corrupt government.
I’m sorry: my tax dollars are being used to fund and support a private golf club?
This is insanity when hospitals and schools are underfunded by your government.
When will the NEEDS of Ontarians come before the WANTS of your donors?
Yep. He rents it to Michael Cooper who has a housing allowance paid by Canadian taxpayers. He pays his rent with that money and then Poilievre uses that money (taxpayers money) to pay his mortgage on the house. What a tidy convenient little taxpayer ripoff they came up with.
We are PRIVATE citizens, the government should know very little if anything about us at all.
They are PUBLIC officials, we should know damn near everything about what they are doing.
The cameras are pointed the wrong way.
Doug Ford is a like a kid who was told not to eat candy. He sneaks around the corner to eat it when nobody can see him. Well Dougy made a SECRET DEAL with Chartright to buy his plane and rent it back to him when nobody is looking. It only cost us taxpayers $200,000 in SECRET fees
Zionists committed a genocide that the world will never forget.
Black people were and ARE hated simply because we're Black.
Don't ever fucking use our Blackness as your human shield again, Jon Levine.
Just one day after Jeff Bezos criticized New York school spending
Zohran Mamdani announced that the city had recovered $9 million in unpaid fines from Amazon delivery trucks
They will NOT make a billionaire contribute to the basic needs of the community BUT they will make the whole community bear the electrical, water, and building costs of a data center owned by a billionaire.
