Public schools have never been a priority for the Ford Conservatives other than for cuts. The fact they handed private schools 175,000 free #RATs last fall while telling public school students and parents "no" is unforgivable. #onpoli#onted
WE PAID FOR THESE TESTS.
They were used to keep wealthy children healthier than poor ones, to make sure huge companies didn't have to pause OR PAY as they made huge profits.
We paid for them. You and me.
Good news if you want to defeat Doug Ford. I checked all the ridings here https://t.co/YYLMZKtZdb and am surprised to report that the following PC-held ridings see OLP either ahead or very close in polling:
Ajax
Burlington
Don Valley North
Eglinton-Lawrence
Eglinton- Centre

BREAKING: #HamOnt public school board has voted to defy the province and keep masking for students and staff until April 15. One trustee described it as "staring down the ministry" while another said removing masking on March 21 was "irresponsible." Watch @TheSpec for story.
On @metromorning re. Ontario government dropping mask mandates:
@CBCIsmaila: Is this a political or scientific decision?
Dr. Peter Jüni, Scientific Director, @COVIDSciOntario: Well it’s not supported by science.
The protests in Russia from brave citizens there, risking true life and liberty to voice their opposition to Putin’s war with Ukraine, make the “convoys” protest in North America over “freedum” seem truly ludicrous.
My Senate speech on the Emergencies Act was too long to upload to Twitter. So here’s a link to the speech, posted to Facebook. We’ll post the speech to YouTube tomorrow AM and I’ll share it again. But for now - you can watch it here. #SenCa#cdnpoli https://t.co/uhjgerelZ3
I will begin referring to the CPC as the CPC/PPC because the CPC has moved so close to the fully whacked out PPC that they are becoming indistinguishable from each other in their politics and presentation.
Imagine a party that sees the PPC and then aspires to more like the PPC
It's time to tell some hard truths about what is happening to our country and to our democracy. We can't afford to be complacent any longer.
My speech from this morning's debate on the Emergencies Act. #cdnpoli
PSA: Putting a bouncy castle on scene for optics doesn’t negate the fact that you knowingly put your children in a harmful situation with the explicit intent of using them as shields and then weaponizing their distress to manipulate public perceptions.
I never thought the Conservative Party of Canada would support overthrowing a democratically elected government but here we are. They’ve lost their fucking minds
