Canada now has full-time workers living in Highway 401 carpool parking lots.
They're not unemployed. They're not refusing to work. They're working, showering, sleeping in trailers, and hoping to save enough for first and last month's rent.
Meanwhile politicians celebrate population growth, record housing targets, and labour shortages.
The reality is working Canadians are being priced out of their own country.
LISTEN UP ONTARIO:
Something big is happening in Ontario, and almost no one is talking about it.
Premier Ford has quietly passed a law that opens the door to water privatization across Ontario - and he's hoping you won't notice.
The Water and Wastewater Public
Corporations Act lets the government seize your local water system and hand it over to a for-profit corporation without your consent.
History is clear: when for-profit corporations control our water systems, the results are disastrous:
Bigger bills!
Bad service!
Dirty water!
Water is a human right not a commodity. It's not too late to stop this.
& Tell Premier Ford our water is NOT for sale. Take action now!
“I find it extraordinary that $30 million could be pulled out of the sofa cushions and found for this plane when we don’t have money for emergency rooms or hospitals.” @steffanwatkins
Ford says Gravy Plane scandal is old news. Like hell it is 🔗 https://t.co/nkAySbxSJC #Onpoli
Bullshit. People across Ontario are feeling the impact of 8 years of your expensive scandals where hundreds of billions of our hard earned tax dollars are secretly going to your Gravy Class pals through bogus lawsuits, contracts and schemes. Don’t try to gaslight us. #Onpoli
$30 million = 3,000 summer jobs for young people.
Doug Ford spent it on a jet. Says he returned it. Won't prove it.
The story keeps changing. What is he hiding?
How do you lose track of a $30 million jet?
Ford says he returned it. Then says the return is still being finalized. Then won't show the receipts.
Show us the receipts or admit you're lying.
We still don’t know enough about this story — and that’s exactly why it deserves scrutiny.
A massive public college, huge taxpayer and student dollars, and a sudden $3M+ golden parachute with almost zero transparency? Here’s what the Toronto Sun is reporting. Buckle up. 🧵 1/
Doug Ford’s government has refused to answer our questions about how much taxpayer money Metrolinx paid a development group tied to a close friend of the premier.
The company had asked for $500M. The transportation minister said it's a private settlement https://t.co/ywb9dTnQVZ
We pressed Premier Ford on why he hasn't released the receipts regarding the purchase & sale of his government's private jet. He argues Ontarians are more concerned about other issues. Watch the exchange here:
Rogan: Why would your name be redacted if you are not a victim? None of this is good for this administration. It looks terrible. It looks terrible for Trump when he was saying it was all a hoax. It is not a hoax
Trump on Epstein Files: Now that nothing came about me—I think it’s time for the country to get on to something that people care about.
Collins: What would you say to the people who say they haven’t gotten justice?
Trump: You are the worst reporter. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile.
Collins: I’m asking about survivors
Trump: You know why you’re not smiling? Because you’re not telling the truth. Your dishonest organization should be ashamed of you.
McGowan: We want things like health care and education and new roads and bridges… And we're going to spend 700 billion to buy an island that isn't for sale?
Leigh McGowan said it best: if what’s in the Epstein files brings the whole house down, let it fall.
Democrats. Republicans. Princes. Hollywood. All of them.
Because right now it looks like a protected class that doesn’t answer to law.
