Last year, @fordnation spent $2B on OSAP grants & loans, with less than 1% wrongly issued to students who were ineligible. Like poor people, students are being slandered as "social assistance thieves" based on rare cases.
Meanwhile, Ford misspends billions in public money.
Still no timeline.
Premier Doug Ford says the government’s $28.9M jet was sold at no loss to taxpayers, but won’t say when he’ll release the documents to prove it.
Plus: recapping the rest of the premier’s first press conference in two weeks.
NEW: The Ford government tried to quietly close the public feedback period on its new education bill, changing the deadline to submit comments from May 13 to May 4 without notice. They reversed course after we asked why they were limiting public input:

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:
As a disabled person, I believe the right to a dignified death is vital, but it can only truly exist alongside the right to a dignified life, accomplished by policies like universal head-to-toe public healthcare.
Without the right to live, death turns from choice to obligation.
Doug Ford’s primary justification for the private jet is ‘I need to get to the north’
Given that you only sit at Queen’s park 50 days or less each year, you have time to fly economy, then get in a car and drive the rest.
That’s how the rest of us do it, and we actually work
It shouldn’t be possible to lose a court decision and then afterwards change the law to retroactively render your actions legal. It means that in matters of provincial jurisdiction there effectively is no binding law for those that govern us.
RFK Jr. out here calling Gardasil “dangerous” and saying it increases cervical cancer risk…WTF. Gardasil can literally prevents cancer.
Oh, and since we’re sharing information, let’s not forget the money you made tied to litigation against Merck over Gardasil.
Because apparently that part doesn’t make the headline.
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
We are deeply troubled to learn of Ontario's government's decision to reduce oversight of the province's MAiD Death Review Committee.
Any erosion to any oversight is a misstep when MAiD is already on a slippery slope trajectory. MAiD Track 2 needs to be repealed in the meantime reducing oversight makes a bad thing worse.
“Oversight bodies are meant to critically evaluate systems, not align with the communities they oversee.”

I hope all Canadian healthcare workers are paying attention to the inquest in Niagara. A young indigenous woman died of sepsis after seeking treatment 2 times & being classified as "social issues".
Medical racism is real. Listen and learn.

I remember back in 2024 when JD Vance said grandparents should be providing childcare. But how are they supposed to do that when they’re working DoorDash just to afford cancer treatment?
Eric Swalwell is an alleged rapist and should not be in government.
Donald Trump is an alleged rapist and should not be in government.
If you agree with one and not the other then you are a hypocrite.
So.. Donald Trump has been photographed with the Chair of Roger’s…
and Tina Yazdani was just fired by a division of Rogers Sports and Media…
and Doug Ford just gave that chair the Order of Ontario in February.
Strange bedfellows ?
