@raghu_venugopal What happens when kids that are riding them underage end up in the ER as a result of an accident. Are police informed? Are parents charged?
@raghu_venugopal I wish the police or the government would launch a campaign to educate families about the laws around e-scooters and e-bikes. I also wish they would post signs telling people where they are prohibited so people know where they are not allowed to ride them.
Right? Why does @fordnation need to hide records going back decades? Are he and former Premier Harris afraid of something? We the people have a right to FREEDOM OF INFORMATION in a democracy!!

It's #EarthDay! Let's remember that environmental progress is built through everyday action—from communities protecting ecosystems to innovators advancing solutions. Clean air, safe water, and climate resilience aren’t optional—they’re essential. Every action we each can do counts!
“While the Ford government ultimately rejected Minister Calandra’s initial plan to eliminate all democratically elected trustees — a reversal achieved through months of sustained advocacy by ETFO and its education partners — this legislation (proposed education bill, the Putting Student Achievement First Act) removes the essential powers trustees need to genuinely represent families and students,” says @ETFOpresident David Mastin. #onpoli
In response to proposed changes to #onted board governance, @ETFOpresident said, “Families deserve trustees who are democratically elected to make decisions, not CEOs with business credentials installed to manage public education like a corporate enterprise. The fallout from this govt’s poor decisions belongs to this govt alone. Trustees are not elected to serve as a buffer for your reckless decision-making.” #onpoli
Doug Ford’s OSAP changes won’t make education “affordable” they’ll push fewer students into colleges and universities, or force families to take on even more debt.
Parents are already struggling just to keep a roof over their heads. Now they’re expected to finance what used to be accessible opportunity.
This isn’t building Ontario’s future. It’s shutting people out of it. What is Doug Fords ultimate goal here?
After almost 8 years of @fordnation healthcare is far worse off than when he started.
2 million people don’t have a family doctor.
Waitlists continue to grow.
Record ER closures.
Hospitals are laying off nurses.
Doug Ford is out of gas and out of touch.
And families suffer.
It’s so easy for Doug Ford to screw young people over and over again. Remember this is a guy who never had to worry about housing, a guy who didn’t give a crap about post secondary education because he inherited Daddy’s multi million dollar company, a guy who’s never had to worry about healthcare and a guy who never had to worry about dental care (note his new veneers)
Don’t be fooled by Ford’s college and university funding announcement.
He’s just continuing to download more costs and debt on to students for the most grossly underfunded system in Canada.
