NEW: The province will fast-track its controversial changes to FOI laws, bypassing public hearings over its plan to shield the premier, his cabinet and their staff from scrutiny. The move comes despite a relatively light legislative agenda. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/11806020/…

NDP: Ford’s underfunding sees 400 jobs cut at Ottawa Hospital From Catherine McKenney, @NickelBelt #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/ndp-ford-…

This week, the CRC and Local 18 were proud to welcome NDP Leader @MaritStiles, along with MPPs @RobinLennox and Sandy Shaw, to our Training Centre in Hamilton. Thank you, @MaritStiles, for recognizing the vital role unions like ours play in training Ontario’s workforce!

We don’t need million-dollar ads about Ontario healthcare paid for with tax-payer dollars. The Ontario NDP has proposed a province-wide physician recruitment and retention strategy to ensure our doctors are working where we need them most. #onpoli #health

Do you know what else was missing in the budget? ❌ No funding for mandatory nurse-to-patient ratios ❌ No funding to ensure wage parity between acute care and community nurses ❌ Nothing to reverse the 700 nurse lay-offs since Jan 2025 Our nurses deserve better.

🧵Searching for the Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Sylvia Jones. The government is going to miss a deadline to publicly fund all medically necessary services from nurse practitioners. So, reporters today wanted to hear an explanation from the minister. #OnPoli

NEW: In Jan. 2023, Ontario enacted a plan to allow pharmacists to prescribe for common ailments. A few months later, the health minister met with the then-president of Shoppers. The two sides have different memories of why the meeting was held. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/11736938/…

Ford’s approach to primary care: missing the deadline, making patients pay From @RobinLennox @NickelBelt #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/ford-s-ap…

🧵: Ontario's proposed FOI changes will likely kill a court order relating to Doug Ford's personal cellphone. They'll also probably end a high-stakes battle involving a former chief of staff and their potential use of personal emails during the Greenbelt. #ONPoli

Surviving serious injuries sustained in a highway accident in remote N Ontario requires local EMS to be staffed, the nearest ER to be open, and weather good enough for an air ambulance to land to transfer the patient to a trauma centre. And takes many hours.

Only the Ontario NDP can say they voted against the harmful legislation listed below Ont Liberals voted with the Conservatives on Bill 223 - closing 9 SCS last year. They also split their vote on Bill 6 which levies $10,000 against people living in unsheltered homelessness.

Overdose deaths are preventable, but only if we use every tool at our disposal to save lives - including supervised consumption sites.

Seems like a lot of effort just to hide Ford’s personal cellphone records 🤷🏻‍♀️ In all seriousness, this is a gross attack on our democratic right to know what our government is up to. We cannot accept this unprecedented level of secrecy. ➡️Visit ontariondp.ca/foi #onpoli

Reckless and ideological: Ford’s latest cuts to SCS will make our communities unsafe From @RobinLennox #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/reckless-…

Ensuring all Ontarians have access to team-based primary care means ensuring that all team members are fairly compensated and that we’re able to retain healthcare staff. #primarycare #onpoli

Immigrants didn't break health care. Politicians did. From 2005 to 2019 📈 Ontario’s 65+ population grew 56 % 📉 Hospital beds grew 3% This isn’t an “immigrant problem” ...it’s a planning fiasco. thestar.com/opinion/contri… via @torontostar

NDP: Latest FAO report shows Ford has given up on affordable housing From Catherine McKenney and @JessicaBellTO #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/ndp-lates…

Between 2011 (when I started high school) and 2016 (when I started uni), tuition under the Ontario Liberals rose by 22.2%. It’s rich hearing the OLP now cry out to “fix OSAP” when their gov’t underfunded postsec institutions and near doubled tuition during their years in power.

Caregivers are an essential but often invisible part of the health system. @CaregiverON’s new report explores how caregiver burnout is driving emergency department visits and why better support is critical for caregivers, patients & the health system: ow.ly/U38q50YihVu
