We know that it's a tough day for many young people.
You're worried about the future, and about the state of the world.
You may want to give up; to succumb to the anger, the fear and the despair.
But you don't have to feel this way. #onpoli 🧵
Last weekend 700 New Democrats participated in @theONDY Youth Convention and Campaign School! Doug Ford’s call for an early election is no surprise because he’s been inching towards it for some time, and has finally found an excuse to try to lock in power.
NEW: 700 voters gathered for the Ontario NDP Youth Convention and Campaign School to organize, train, and build momentum for the next provincial election. Be part of the movement: https://t.co/2bJRHxUvbB
Over a hundred young organizers and activists gathered in Toronto today for @theONDY's first in-person convention in years, electing @MikhailDamian and Emma Hartviksen as our co chairs. Young people are ready for change and a government that fights for students and workers.
Had a fantastic day at @theONDY Convention yesterday! Thank you for letting me be an honourary youth for the day! ✨️
Absolutely inspired by their passion, organizing, policies, and the future they envision for Ontario! The kids are alright! 😊🧡

The fund is split between ONDP candidates 25 or under in the next provincial election. 1/2
Throwback to our meeting with @JessicaBellTO @YSWtenants and @HOUSECanada_
It was a great event with lots of important discussion, thanks to everyone who showed up!
When young people tell me they’ve given up on ever owning a home, it breaks my heart. Homes Ontario is about changing that—building homes that people can afford, so no one has to give up on their dreams.
Rigged process. Misuse of government funds.
Kinga Surma, the Premier’s hand-picked Infrastructure Minister, put billions of Ontario taxpayer dollars at stake while gifting a 95-year lease to a private Austrian company to build a luxury spa.
From the Auditor General Report:
The opioid crisis has consistently escalated since 2016, with 7 people dying/day in 2023 for opioid-related deaths. Despite this, there was no data, planning, or public consultation provided to justify closing CTS sites.
Irresponsible.
Shame on the Conservative and Liberal MPPs who voted to close lifesaving supervised consumption sites yesterday.
This move ignores science and morality and puts the lives of so many in our communities at risk. Shame. #onpoli
How did your MPP vote today on Doug Ford's anti-science Bill 223 that will do nothing to help the health and well-being of Ontarians, and will not make our communities any safer?
This government keeps making decisions that ignore data and reality. We deserve so much better.
While the @UONDP was mainstreeting for @JoelHardenONDP petition to increase provincial transit funding, the LRT broke down. A lot of angry students very enthusiastic to sign the petition
