Still $1200 less per student than when you were elected 5 years ago. And boards are laying off staff as a result. Nice try but no cigar.

Exciting news for students and parents in Ontario! I am proud to announce that our government is investing $71 million to boost and strengthen student achievement. This investment will fund the hiring of specialized staff, elevate training standards, and provide new resources to boost math skills. With this commitment, we are ensuring that students in Ontario have the tools and support they need to excel in math and achieve their full potential.

Ontario's healthcare system is in crisis and @fordnation is using #Bill60 to funnel public money to American-style, for-profit clinics, pretending it's a solution to the crisis he created. Send a fax to voice your opposition. #ONPoli #healthcare nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZxA5…

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.
They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.
Don't let them fool you.

Canada: make no mistake. We are witnessing the dismantling of publicly funded healthcare in Ontario in a deliberate and orchestrated manner by the Ontario government. There is no effective manner to stop this situation. It is hegemony.

The CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil (ADNOC) will now run the upcoming climate talks at COP28 in Dubai.
"[This is] tantamount to a full-scale capture of the UN climate talks by a petrostate national oil company and its associated fossil fuel lobbyists.”

Liar. They’ve destroyed the health system, and lives, so that they could use this line. This was the plan all along.
It’s absolutely monstrous. And Doug and Sylvia didn’t do it in a vacuum. Lots of greedy people are helpful move healthcare privatization along.

@DianeNTherrien It sends me to the moon that Peterborough has no problem splurging on a $65-million twin-pad arena but only $7 million from ALL 3 levels of gov't, for the homeless. It's unconscionable.
