For the second month in a row, Ontario is leading the nation in job creation!

In May, Ontario added 42,000 jobs, bringing the two-month total to over 84,000 jobs.

That's how we protect Ontario.

[Stephen Lecce @Sflecce]

Nothing says "change" like bringing back Justin Trudeau's top confidant and chief Minister to import the very policies that cost Canada hundreds of thousands of jobs, drove up costs for families, undermined our global reputation and national unity.

We cannot afford Trudeau 2.0.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

Marit, this is false, and you know it.

Not a single dollar has flowed to Honda, because of the conditions we have in place.

We explained it to you today.

And yet, you continue to spread hysteria for clicks instead of dealing with facts.

How far the NDP has fallen.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Doug Ford gave Honda $2.5 billion of your tax dollars.

Now Honda is halting production and 1,000 jobs could be gone.

Did Ford attach any conditions to that money? Any strings? Any accountability? No.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

This from the same party who:

❌ chased 300,000 manufacturing jobs out of this province

❌ said NO to every single investment we've made to protect manufacturing jobs

❌ didn't mention manufacturing once in their platform

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

If the Ford government wants to brag about the rare months jobs go up in Ontario, they need to own significant job losses like this.

Ask anyone who is searching for a job and how difficult it is right now.

This government is out of ideas, out of gas, and out of touch. #onpoli

NEW - The Ontario Liberal Party confirmed MPP John Fraser as Interim Leader today. He will again hold that role until a new leader is chosen. The party also announcing that full details of the leadership race, including key dates and rules, will be announced by February 9.

[Stephen Lecce @Sflecce]

The opposition would kill Ontario's nuclear expansion, turning their backs on 80,000 workers and nearly $800 billion lift to Canada's economy.

We won't let that happen.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

How much does rural Ontario matter to the Ontario Liberals?

They didn’t even show up to committee to ask about Rural Affairs.

Not one member.

[Victoria Mancinelli @vcmancinelli]

It’s a long one. But important.

Since the Leader of Opposition @MaritStiles believes she can speak for LiUNA in QP, let us be clear; we will never be ashamed of strong, historic investments in Ontario’s skilled workforce and training programs, like the ones made in our Members who show up every single day to build and strengthen our province.

For weeks, resources have been spent on slandering the Skills Development Fund in its entirety and smearing those it supports with false claims of favouritism or corruption.

Who pays the price? Workers. Do they really not see this? Backtracking now is nothing short of disingenuous.

It's shameful.

A slap in the face to everyone across labour and industry working to strengthen Ontario's workforce and its future.

For the @OntarioNDP and @OntLiberal, "investing in workers" has become nothing more than a talking point - empty words without integrity or understanding.

They're more interested in scoring cheap political points than recognizing the real, life-changing training partnerships created through the Skills Development Fund - programs that are building Ontario's workforce and shaping its future.

Not once have they reached out to learn about them. Not a phone call, not an email. Nothing. Because truth doesn’t seem to fit their agenda here.

The hypocrisy is staggering. They attack government for not supporting unions - yet when historic investments are made in union led apprenticeship, training, and worker-focused policy, they call it nefarious?

Give me a break.

It's no wonder Ontario's workers have stopped listening. They say they want jobs, yet oppose the projects that create and sustain them. They claim to stand for workers, yet reject the very investments that protect and empower them.

Division and innuendo don't build Ontario.
Collaboration and strong investment in workers - in training, in skills development, and in career pathways - do.

And that's exactly what Minister @DavidPiccini and the @fordnation government are doing: building opportunity, strengthening our workforce, and securing Ontario's future.

We welcome the findings of the AG report that will strengthen SDF and continue to empower opportunities for the men and women who build, connect and strengthen every corner of our province for today, and for generations to come.

If the opposition and third party want to learn about the direct impacts SDF has made, they have my contact and I welcome them to reach out at any time for a respectful conversation, rather than belittling real investments in people, jobs and the future of Ontario.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

Let's take a trip down memory lane.

You used to fight with the Liberals for union endorsements.

Now? They've left you. Because you don't care about workers and their jobs.

You put politics over training for workers, even as you privately beg for SDF investments in NDP ridings.

[Ontario NDP @OntarioNDP]

Let's take a trip down memory lane.

The Auditor General on the Greenbelt grab: “not transparent, fair, objective, or fully informed.”

Two years later, on the Skills Development Fund: “not fair, transparent or accountable.”

The Minister of Favours jetted to Paris for a lobbyist’s wedding. That lobbyist’s clients got $7.5 million.

CTV found $100 million in grants went to lobbyists tied to Doug Ford.

Marit works for workers. Doug works for lobbyists.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

Wonder why blue collar workers and organized labour have left the NDP?

The NDP thinks that training over 700,000 workers is a "favour."

They think that over 100,000 people getting a job after receiving training is a "favour."

We'll keep working for workers. Marit won't.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

While Bonnie has clearly never been inside a Beer Store, we're delivering choice and convenience for people to get beer and coolers at over 5,000 new locations province-wide.

Not shocking, from the same person who pushed French and Chilean wines over Ontario-made product 👇

[Bonnie Crombie 🇨🇦 @BonnieCrombie]

With over 100 Beer Stores shutting down, Ontario loses:

• 100 places to work
• 100 places to return bottles & cans
• 100 places to buy local craft beer

Did Doug Ford think about any of this before handing alcohol sales to big grocers & convenience stores?

#onpoli

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

As we fight to grow our economy and pass legislation that would protect Ontario’s economy in the face of Trump's tariffs, the Liberals are putting theatrics over progress.

Every province, regardless of politics, wants to see nation-building projects built. Not Bonnie's Liberals.

[Cody Welton @codymwelton]

You lost your seat - so unless you’re sitting in the public gallery - no, you won’t.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

The NDP's answer to the housing crisis?

A $150 billion agency that will build *less* than what's currently being built.

While the NDP wants to waste time and taxpayer dollars, we’re focused on getting shovels in the ground and building homes faster.

[Ontario NDP @OntarioNDP]

To strengthen Ontario, we need to get Ontario building.

That’s why we’re putting forward Homes Ontario to a vote again. It's our to plan to build hundreds of thousands of permanently affordable homes.

Homes Ontario will unlock public land, finance construction, and work directly with non-profits, co-ops, and supportive housing providers to get homes built, faster and more affordably. And it will create good, union jobs along the way.

It's time to get the government back in the business of building homes and treat housing like essential infrastructure it is: Publicly Built. Permanently Affordable. Made in Ontario.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

I guess reading the graphic before you make fake promises was asking too much.

But here, we actually managed to make it past page one. No mention of the gas tax cut.

Billion dollar hole. Or are you continuing to lie?

[Ashley Csanady @AshleyCsanady]

Page one of Bonnie's plan: "The platform includes no tax increases and no new taxes, and it costs far less than Doug Ford’s fantasy tunnel project."

Wanna point me to where Douggie costs his $150 billion tunnel to nowhere that will bankrupt the province for a generation?

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

Hey Ashley, can you let us know on what page Bonnie's platform mentions the gas tax cut?

Or is there a billion-dollar hole in the platform?

[Ashley Csanady @AshleyCsanady]

Funny the PC war room was poking yesterday our very good and excellent meme when all they have left is literal lies.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

Bonnie wants to bring back the gas tax, which will increase the price of gas by another 10.7 cents per litre.

Why does she want to make groceries more expensive, and make it cost more to take kids to hockey practice?

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

Who is Bonnie "very proud" of?

See for yourself: https://t.co/0GhR3lkSbk

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

Last but not least, the Queen of the Carbon Tax.

Bonnie's supported a carbon tax for nearly a quarter of a century.

But now, days before an election, she wants you to believe that she's changed her ways.

Don't be fooled. She'll say and do anything just to win her own seat.

[Ontario PC Press @PCPressOffice]

Andrew Kania, Bonnie's hand-picked candidate in Brampton West, supported a carbon tax before it even became official policy.
