The Ford government spent more than $12M advertising its Ring of Fire plans last year, new FOI records show.
That brings the province’s known 2025-26 advertising spending to more than $77M across four ministries.
The taxpayer-funded ads ran in Cineplex theatres, among other platforms.

This is a pretty damning example of why Ontario’s government needs to be more accountable over OSAP. Seven private career colleges received about $385 million in provincial OSAP grants in one year - roughly the same amount as students at all of Ontario’s publicly funded colleges combined.
Meanwhile, students at our public colleges and universities are seeing their grants slashed and taking on even more debt. Students shouldn’t be paying the price for the Ford government’s failure to properly oversee the system.
It’s time to fix OSAP and put students first.

Imagine a government boasting that nurses will finally receive $750 to buy hospital supplies, or police officers an allowance for essential equipment.
It would be an admission of systemic failure.
But when it’s teachers, chronic underfunding gets rebranded as generosity #onted
#DYK that if a cyclist is struck by a driver travelling at 50 km/h, their chance of survival is only one in 10?
Drivers, when passing a cyclist on the road, maintain a minimum distance of one metre, where practical, between your vehicle & them.

El mundial estaba siendo una fiesta del fútbol, sin polémicas y con buenos arbitrajes. Pues han llegado los de siempre y Messi y ya lo han ensuciado todo en su primer partido.

- gol dudoso anulado a Argelia

🚨🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: FIFA Referees Committee president Pierluigi Collina was reportedly considering an internal review of Szymon Marciniak's performance during Argentina's 3-0 victory over Algeria. However, according to emerging claims, the proposed investigation was halted after FIFA president Gianni Infantino became aware of the matter. 😳👀
“We suspect significant amounts of communication have already happened between federal/provincial govts, as well as 3rd parties regarding the airport expansion & what's happening now is 'window dressing' to make it look if there's actual real consultation & engagement happening."
The Toronto Port Authority has shared its early plans for the $5 billion expansion of Billy Bishop airport with provincial & federal officials, but is withholding this information from Mayor Olivia Chow and the public https://t.co/6Tz3OSaOHs #onpoli#cdnpoli#TOpoli
FIFA's World Cup 'hydration breaks' are a money-grabbing disgrace: Gianni Infantino is selling football's soul to broadcasters - and fans are paying the price, writes RIATH AL-SAMARRAI https://t.co/9J6MmXngMh
Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. https://t.co/y1BqbB62YC
Maybe the best solution for the Billy Bishop Airport is to close it entirely and reclaim the space for Torontonians to use as parkland. We could call it Toronto Place Park.
