@MaritStiles OMG two destructive ministers who have decimated health care. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Imagine taking advice from one of the most highly controversial figures in Alberta politics, and one under investigation… oh wait… 🙄….. now that does make sense doesn’t it? 😬
Doug Ford chartered a private jet with taxpayer dollars to Washington so he could play Captain Canada for a day.
And he still couldn’t get a meeting with the U.S. administration.
So what did Ontarians pay for? A photo op? A headline? Another round of Ford pretending to be Prime Minister while families here are paying more and getting less?
Ontarians need their Premier focused on Ontario.
Doug Ford's Minister of Education spent the entire session standing in front of cameras across Ontario and even in London UK to announce fake funding for our classrooms.
Minister Calandra thought he could silence students and educators by performing accounting tricks on camera.
Instead, he got caught with his pants down after documents revealed his $750 for classrooms were all smoke and mirrors.
Another police investigation connected to this government. Another audit they refuse to release. Another question about what happened to taxpayer money.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern.
Ontarians deserve answers.
Tensions ran high & frustrations were palpable at a TDSB parent budget meeting Tuesday night, where parents pressed for answers on hundreds of staff cuts and program reductions planned for this fall.
But the Ford government-appointed TDSB Supervisor didn’t answer questions during the meeting & declined an interview with me afterward. Watch:
Local artist, Light Guerrilla, projected TAX THE RICH on Mark Zuckerberg’s $300M mega yacht. It is docked at Seattle’s Lake Union and the company is laying off 1395 employees in Washington state starting next month
Mark Zuckerberg, an outspoken critic of "man-made climate change", shows off his new $300 million, 287-foot mega yacht, powered by four gigantic diesel engines.
Yet another stark reminder that Net Zero is only for the peasants
“Committees still sit,” Premier Ford said this week, defending the record-long summer break at Queen's Park.
But PC MPPs are now trying to cancel all summer meetings of the committee that reviews government appointments, calling it "routine" scheduling: https://t.co/LrItfUDO5S
Premier Doug Ford says other North American leaders “think it’s a joke” that Ontario doesn’t have a dedicated government jet.
He made the comment Thursday while defending his use of chartered flights from Toronto to Ottawa, arguing that flying commercially can consume an entire workday.
“We’ve got to stop treating Ontario like a banana republic, because that’s what it’s being treated like,” he said. Full story icymi: https://t.co/AJI2vzyr0H
59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.
Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
NEW: the Ford govt has moved to cancel all summer meetings of the committee that vets PC appointments to provincial boards & agencies.
The move came after opposition MPPs questioned two nominees who had donated a combined $13K to the PCs.
Full story w/ @steve_cornwell to come.

Doug Ford showed up to more cash-for-access fundraisers than he did Question Periods. The only "work" Ford does is making backroom deals with his mega donors.
ICYMI: Teneycke is heavily involved in lobbying for the expansion of Billy Bishop.
As the largest beneficiary of the corrupt Skills Development Fund, if he lied on the lobbyist registry he must face full consequences - including a ban on lobbying and jail time. #onpoli#cdnpoli

@fordnation continues to hide from the public and the Opposition Parties.
All while he also hides all of his back room deals.
If anyone else had a record like this, they wouldn’t have a job.
