Doug Ford is hiding a FOURTH police investigation, this time involving the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility.

It was triggered by one of 19 forensic audits this government has been forced to undertake.

@stephaniesmyth is telling @fordnation to release the audit.

So how much exactly did this trip without the event or policy payoff actual cost? And @fordnation flew private right? #onpoli

Ouch.
Huge U.S biz lobby cancels Washington meeting with Ontario Premier @fordnation at last minute.

[Lorenda Reddekopp @CBCLorenda]

NEW: the event in Washington that was supposed to happen with Premier Doug Ford and Ross Perot Jr. did not go ahead in the end

The US Chamber of Commerce tells @fitz_meagan "scheduling conflicts arose and this event was pulled down." Perot Jr. is its Chair #onpoli

Two years after promising to upload HWY 174 in #Ottawa - @fordnation still has no plan to get it done. But of course - the DVP & Gardiner is a done deal. #ottcity #onpoli

(1/2) Ontario will take ownership of the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway (DVP) in fall 2027.

“Arguing with each other…” otherwise known as debate and accountability. Democracy is just this old out dated concept anyways right Doug? #accountability #powercorrupts #onpoli #ottcity

"No one can question my work ethic" said Premier Doug Ford, as his government begins an extended 5-month summer break.

Ford argues his schedule is jam-packed over the coming months: "we're going full steam, rather than sitting here arguing with each other." Watch:

#BREAKING - MPP’s are leaving on what will be an almost 5 month break. The Ford government says the legislature won’t return until October 28th, a 148 day summer break. MPP’s though will continue to work in their constituencies and in committees.

[Ontario Liberal Party | Parti Libéral de l'Ontario @OntLiberal]

Ottawa isn’t a priority for @fordnation and his out-of-touch government.

Ontario Liberals will always stand up for the people Ottawa.

Moments ago: Premier Ford won’t commit to paying taxpayers back the $200K spent on private jet fees, calling the controversy an “old story.”

He says he’s already saved taxpayers “millions of dollars” by flying commercial over the years & only charters flights “when needed.”

[Stephen Blais @StephenBlais]

There are two transit realities in #Ontario. Fare cuts, massive investment and gold plated service for Toronto & the GTA. While #Ottawa continues to pay more to @OC_Transpo for worse service. @fordnation has abandoned #ottcity.

[Stephen Blais @StephenBlais]

The City of Ottawa with @Ottawapolice launched cameras on school buses 7 years ago - including fines for drivers. Now @OttSchoolBus is going to launch another pilot program to "gather data". Where has Leadership at #ottcity Hall gone? #ottawa

Later today, we will have 3rd reading debate on the Municipal Accountability Act, 2025. If passed, it will finally create a process to remove councillors & mayors for egregious behaviour like harassment, abuse and violence. It's not perfect but is progress and a long time coming!
