From June 11 to July 19, bars and restaurants across Ontario will be able to extend alcohol service hours until 4 a.m. so fans can come together, cheer on Canada and celebrate the FIFA World Cup 2026™, no matter what time the game is on.

@lindahaslett @fordnation They have the entire week off not just today!
English
@fordnation While @fordnation & his PC MPPs enjoy a day with their family & friends on Victoria Day Monday, they insist 100s of 1000s of Ontario workers do not deserve that right. Many are single moms working in retail who had to struggle to find affordable child care today.

@whittakertp @ChapmanNeil1 @fordnation There is a blurry line between « his » pocket and Ontario’s pocket. He belongs behind bars.
English
Well @fordnation recently said he pays his own expenses out of his pocket. I guess that was BS.

NEW - NDP leader Stiles moves a unanimous consent motion to compel the Premier to pay the $190,000 in fees related to the private jet out of his own pocket. It gets rejected by the government benches.

A day after the Premier’s office released documents related to the $28.9M private jet purchase and sale, Premier Doug Ford is not in question period.
His front-row seat is filled by backbencher Billy Denault #onpoli

Ontario Liberal MPP Tyler Watt said it was hypocritical for Ford, who recently bought and returned a private jet, to comment on how students spend their money.
“The hypocrisy is unbelievable,” he said in a statement.
“This is the same premier who cried about students allegedly buying cologne while spending $29 million of taxpayer money on a luxury jet.” #onpoli #FixOSAPASAP

It’s official.
Ontario will start colorectal cancer screening at age 45.
I just received this guidance:

Doug Ford has spent years gutting public healthcare, undermining education, wasting taxpayer money, and handing public assets to private interests. The Greenbelt scandal. The Ontario Place/Therme spa deal. The destruction of the Ontario Science Centre. The private jet scandal. Hallway medicine. Underfunded schools. Crumbling hospitals.
We can’t keep normalizing this chaos and corruption. Ontario deserves better than a premier who treats public services like they’re disposable while insiders cash in. This guy has to go.

But it’s somehow more humane to risk infecting others, potentially landing them in hospital for severe illness or even risk death (⬆️40% fatality rate⚠️)?
Tedros is an absolute moron.
Anonymous@YourAnonOne
The director of the WHO, Dr. Tedros, justifies not having quarantined the infected and contact cases on the boat because it "would have been inhumane and useless".

@AndreaGrebenc If his mouth is open, he is lying. Despicable. Yet he accuses students who apply for OSAP of misusing funds… and starves healthcare and education. 🤬
English
So... he lied.
He spent our money on... nothing

BREAKING: The Ford government has just dropped the $28.9 million "gravy plane" documents showing the province did in fact incur overage costs including: - Acquisition support - Management services - Outside legal documents. #onpoli

Interesting how around the same time this government was announcing cuts to OSAP, they were also making installment payments on a luxury private jet for Doug Ford.
Students were told to tighten their belts while this government spent taxpayer money like it was nothing. #onpoli

The documents provide a timeline: Jan 16: Letter of intent sent to Bombardier (plane delivered to Montreal) Jan 19: LOI deposit $500,000 USD Mar 2: 2nd payment $1.195 M USD Mar 5: Final invoice for $22.035 M USD Apr 15: Government takes possession at 5:14 pm Apr 24: Bombardier purchase agreement $23.73 M USD

@whittakertp @fordnation Because he can’t keep his lies straight!
English
Everyday there is a different answer from @fordnation .
Richard Southern@RichardCityNews
WATCH - I ask the Premier again if he still intends to release the receipts for his $30 million private jet. “Absolutely” he says without providing an exact date. “The lawyers are just doing the paperwork” says Ford.
English
@MaritStiles Because the law isn’t doing anything to stop him! What is happening with all of these investigations? Or has he paid off everybody??? You’re right he does belong behind bars!
English
When records were about to come out, Doug Ford changed the law to bury them. When court cases started heating up, he changed the law to nullify them.
Is this Queen's Park or the Kremlin? Why does this Premier think he's above the law?

Meanwhile, there’s a blank cheque to destroy the Toronto Islands for a new airport we don’t need or want.

Premier Ford spoke of students buying "fancy watches and cologne" with OSAP after his student aid cuts.
Data suggest less than half of 1% of recent OSAP funding went to students who misrepresented themselves or misused funds.

Having not seen a case of head lice in the ER in the last decade or more I am truly looking forward to this initiative's stated goal of reducing the pressure in my department. Time to put my feet up and sip my latte.

Key reporting on the spike in waits in Ontario's ERs. Pharmacists aren't the answer. Calluses and corns, dandruff, dry eye, head lice, jock itch, mild headache, nasal congestion, ringworm and warts (expanded pharmacist prescribing) has zero to do with ER waits. @TinaYazdani

@AndreaOpdebeeck @jeffrey_canton @fordnation Neither do his caucus members. In Question Period, all they are able to do is read from their prepared scripts. It doesn’t matter if it has no relevance to the question asked. Some even struggle to read them. 🤦🏼♀️
English
I’ve come to the conclusion that @fordnation’s handlers think that the job of Premier simply involves photo ops and misleading videos. These videos are so pathetic and reinforce the fact that he doesn’t have a clue about his actual job, even after 8 years. 🤷🏼♀️
