@DrKateTO Well said. Citizens need to fight back against this corrupt government.
English
Doug Ford promised to "protect Ontario" but instead spends his time meddling in local governments. Ford continues, seemingly on a whim, to remove democratically-elected officials, the very people Ontarians chose to cast their vote for. Councillors, trustees, who's next? #onpoli

BRAKING: Ontario has tabled legislation to slash regional governments in Niagara and Simcoe County. Councils will be cut to only mayors and an appointed chair
English
@OntLiberal @fordnation Dougie is just showing his true (corrupt) self.
English
Doug Ford is undoing democracy.
Now, @fordnation wants to handpick regional chairs — no more elections.
Giving ‘strong mayor’ powers to elected officials is one thing, but ‘strong chair’ powers to unelected appointees?
That’s a whole new level of undemocratic.

In @fordnation's Ontario, 67,500 children are on the waitlist for the Ontario Autism Program, with wait times now exceeding five years.
Five years. For kids.

@TheoMoudakis @TorontoStar Perfect Theo!! Happy Easter to you and your family.

@TDotResident Change can’t happen soon enough. Enough of Dougie and his corrupt ways.

This would mean the end of Doug Ford as Premier

@Garnet_2203 Disgraceful. Mismanagement and corruption—life in Ontario!
English
288 nurses cut.
40 vice-principals cut at the Toronto District School Board.
Public services stretched to the breaking point.
But somehow there’s room for this?
Since 2022, Kara Ford has seen her salary increase by over $83,000 a year.
While the rest of Ontario is being cut and starved?
Doug Ford, Ontario deserves better than this.
Coffey4Canada2@Coffey4Canada2
Kara Ford now makes $83,416 more than she did in 2022 at the same employer, when she was manager of public affairs, corporate communication and volunteer services. That’s what a 2 year Broadcasting Diploma from Conestoga College will get ya if your Dad is Doug Ford.

Today I asked: after eight long years, how can this out-of-touch Conservative government claim to “protect Ontario” while making life more unaffordable for students?
Instead of answers - the Minister talked about my TikTok and doubled down on OSAP cuts. 🤯 #onpoli #SaveOSAPASAP
English
Ford's corruption is staggering, shocking even the most cynical ones. This is what happens when there is no opposition and our systems delivers 100% power with 17% of votes. No way to have democracy circa 2026.

🚨 Breaking 🚨 NDP obtains a government document showing that 12 days before Ford signed the Ontario Place deal with Therme, a civil servant warned: "Therme has low liquidity, low equity value, and its financial strength appears weak." Therme lied about owning 6 spas in Europe when they owned 1 and claimed as equity money they expected to earn from a spa not yet built in Germany. #ONpoli globalnews.ca/news/11753811/…

@howllr Just another Lunchbag Letdown in the world of Ford corruption. A longer list by the day.
English
Doug Ford is in Texas today promoting Ontario to Trump ally investors.
At a time when many Canadians are questioning that direction, Ontarians are still waiting for transparency, accountability, and results at home.
Distraction much?

"Despite all the spin, the real reason for this sudden (FOI) clampdown is dreadfully obvious: The Ford government has some things to hide, and it's altering the law...to make sure those things stay safely out of sight - @Thetrilliumca thetrillium.ca/opinion/editor…

Hey you guys, I made the Maddow #nokings montage! The New York shots from atop One Times Square via Getty images. For someone with vertigo it’s pretty scary up there but what a view. Shot with my iPhone 17 pro max and a monopod holding my breath

@JamieLittleTV Time to update the tracks that this series runs on. Barriers cannot fail like that and gravel traps done effectively slow cars down.

My goodness, another big one at Barber!

A wild one for Scott McLaughlin in Barber.

@DerekDaly500 @markhughesF1 If only the tracks were as safe as the cars. Time for some serious updates to gravel traps and barriers.

What are you doing July 9-11, 2027?
Save the dates, because the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is returning to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in 2027!
We’re super excited that CTMP is one of only 11 tracks that will host the IMSA WeatherTech series next season - and the only international stop on the schedule.
Canada’s biggest sports car event will feature the LMP2, GTD PRO, and GTD classes.
Plus, the highly competitive IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge will return next year (with more series to be announced).
Thanks to the Featured Schedule Artist, Jeremy Smith 🎨🏁
PS- For those wondering, the 2026 IMSA races will be at CTMP as part of the Chevrolet Grand Prix, July 10-12

@BradMBradford No. You failed your current community. The rest of the city needs to be saved from you.

I’m bringing forward real, immediate steps to restore safety and confidence on transit — because empty promises aren’t enough, and people deserve to feel safe getting where they need to go.

did not have the pearl harbor reference while seated with the japanese prime minister on my bingo card.
in retrospect i consider this a personal failing.
English
@jaketapper Doesn’t make his comments any less forgivable. Absolutely shameful.

FWIW Prime Minister Takaichi was born 20 years after Pearl Harbor

Q: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…about the war before attacking Iran?" President Trump: "We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
