The Ford gov't has just passed #Bill23, despite massive protests. It's not just the sprawl, it's not just the pollution, it's the #corruption. And the outright lying and promise-breaking. Voters will not be able to trust anything these folks say. It ain't over.
Ford gave Tory MPPs $16k raises this year.
But 25% of these workers use food banks. Their avg salary is $39k/yr.
If they strike, let’s back them up. If they defy back-to-work laws, let’s back them up.
It’s time for this Premier to get schooled. https://t.co/Mi5SlalTkm
A thought as I watch smoke billowing from the salute to Queen Elizabeth II: we are in a global climate crisis and scientists are saying the time for action is now, so perhaps we could curtail unproductive activities that pollute the environment-airshows, nascar, fireworks...
It seems obvious that Environment Minister and Northumberland - Peterborough South MPP @DavidPiccini does not care about the environment. Ontario Government has confirmed that the new Highway 413 route threatens 11 at-risk species.

Scoop alert: Documents obtained by me and @njaved of @TorontoStar show that Ontario has quietly confirmed at least 11 species at risk are living along the planned route of Highway 413.
Including two central to a federal review of the project. #onpoli https://t.co/KiEy3d0pqW
NEW: Premier Doug Ford names 43 of his MPPs to be parliamentary assistants, which gives them each a $16,600 bump in pay above the standard MPP salary of $116,500.
Added to his 30-member cabinet, this means 73/83 PCs have extra duties & extra pay. #onpoli
