The opposite of logistics is 'illogistics' (he, him)

NEW: Most of the Ford government's 1 per cent boost to core education funding this year isn't new money.

$234.2M (about 74 per cent of the increase) comes from existing education dollars shifted from other funding envelopes, according to ministry data.

I fought for the City of Toronto to fund emergency water distribution to homeless people during heat waves and this would-be Mayor actively voted against it.

The good news is that I won anyway. No one who votes against basic resources for the most vulnerable people should lead.

Doug Ford made booze available in rest stops and increased the speed limits. What could possibly go wrong?!?

[Ontario NDP @OntarioNDP]

Doug Ford's housing record:

❌ 80 percent behind target
❌ Deadlast in housing starts across Canada
❌ Slowest home building in over 20 years

He can't build a damn thing.

Studied to death and Canadian emergency physicians have gone hoarse yelling from the roof tops. We are killing people and nobody gives a shit until it’s them or their loved ones

Note to @Fordnation:

If your goal is to "get it done" & "work for workers"
put the money into what Ontarians NEED

-Education
-Housing
-Healthcare

...& STOP using taxpayer $$$ to PROMOTE YOURSELVES

NEW: ‘Protect Ontario’ and other ad campaigns cost taxpayers $55 million last year across 3 ministries.

The latest FOI records we obtained reveal the Ministry of Finance spent $21.4M on ads last year.

We are still waiting for records from 5 other ministries.

[Iris Gorfinkel, M.D. @DrGorfinkel]

Doug Ford’s 'Protect Ontario' ads don't "protect" Ontarians.

They BLEED the province by throwing record-breaking tax dollars into self-promotion

...HIDING damage.

I met frontline health workers in Scarborough today, and the picture is grim: 20-hour ER waits, a $36 million hospital deficit, staff stretched past the limit.

So I'm calling on Doug Ford to do three things: fund Scarborough's hospitals, mandate safe staffing ratios, and let internationally-trained professionals get to work.

He has the money for jets and ads. He must find it for this.

[Iris Gorfinkel, M.D. @DrGorfinkel]

Who do you think PAYS for Doug Ford’s
'Protect Ontario' ads?

Ontarians.

MILLIONS of $$$$ are being SIPHONED AWAY from

NEW: I asked Premier Ford if he will correct or retract his “fake poll” claim after Angus Reid Institute sent him a legal letter demanding he “correct the public record.”

The survey ranked Ford as Canada’s least popular premier, with his approval at 21%.

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

New: the Ford government is defending its decision to award the contract for its $750 classroom supplies portal to a single vendor, arguing that consolidating purchases will drive down prices through bulk buying.

Teachers said a single supplier could limit choice & make it harder to obtain specialized materials. https://t.co/lsbLCwumRh

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

Premier Ford justifies spending millions of taxpayers dollars on ‘Protect Ontario’ ads: “if we don’t inform people, the only choice they have is to listen to the media.”

Watch the exchange here:

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

You can fake a photo. You can spend hundreds of millions on ads. But you can't hide what people see at the grocery store every week.

Doug Ford is selling a lie. Ontarians aren't buying it.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Okay, I can't let this one go. These OPSEU workers came to Ford Fest after being denied meeting after meeting. They care for our most vulnerable, and they're owed wages Ford took under Bill 124. His response? He literally erased them from the picture to make them look like supporters.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Imagine getting booed at your own party, then editing the photos so the protesters look like fans. Trumpian.

It's the same thing every day: pretend everything's fine while people struggle to afford anything.

This is a tired government, and it's time to get them out of the way.

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

High school report cards are getting a major overhaul this fall.

Attendance will count for 10% to 15% of a student's final grade. The rest will be split between mandatory exams (20-25 per cent) and course work (65 per cent).

The Ford government says the new formula gives teachers better classroom control, but critics warn the "cookie-cutter" approach could disproportionately penalize vulnerable students. https://t.co/Y5MO2mzy9s
