Ontario’s transparency watchdog is renewing her calls for the Ford government to scrap its controversial freedom of information crackdown, saying the changes will make the province “less transparent than even the federal government.” globalnews.ca/news/11766275/… #onpoli

@fordnation and @SylviaJonesMPP are simply trash- they need thrown out. #Thessalon #onpoli

Last week marked a new low in @fordnation’s failed leadership: He defied the Canada Health Act by missing the deadline to publicly fund nurse practitioners and end private billing. He said you’d always pay with your OHIP card, not your credit card. He lied. #onpoli

@SylviaJonesMPP How is Ontario the only province to illegally fail to enact the Canada health act by restricting nurse practitioners? An essential part of primary care when Ontarians everywhere struggle to find a family doctor. Pushing privatization. Kara Ford making more than family doctors.

Terrebonne, Scarborough Southwest, and University—Rosedale: this message is for you! Advance polls for your federal by-elections are this weekend. Make your plan to vote for your Liberal candidate: action.liberal.ca/my-vote-plan/.

And the @TheTorontoSun which famously calls Carney a dictator, ignores what @fordnation is doing in Ontario. This is why we need to stop foreign ownership of our news media. #ontpoli

New from me: When Doug Ford refuses to disclose records, loses in court, and then moves to change the law to avoid disclosure, it raises a simple question. What is Ford trying so hard to hide? canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/h…

Doly Begum is ready to build a stronger, more prosperous, and more independent Canadian economy. Early voting opens today in Scarborough Southwest and Election Day is April 13 — don’t forget to get out and vote.

We need a government in Ontario that can deliver for people while remaining committed to honesty, transparency, and integrity. Watch the full podcast: youtu.be/_C9_RItGqb4?si…

@stphnmaher Where do you get the idea PP has changed? He’s the same idiot who refused to resign after we voted him out of Carleton after doing nothing for 21 yrs. Women especially will always find him creepy. We’re not fooled by his constant makeovers. Why won’t he get a security clearance?

Doug Ford using a Christian holiday to preach “compassion, humility and hope” is peak hypocrisy. You’ve gutted Ontario’s public healthcare. You’ve gutted Ontario’s public education. You’ve slashed OSAP, leaving students with more debt and less hope for the future. How do you expect Ontarians to feel hope when your policies are taking it away? Compassion isn’t a holiday message. It’s how you govern.

“Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Pierre Poilievre — none of these men became household names on merit, they simply cried the loudest. The entire conservative movement is composed of insufferable cry babies aided and abetted by spineless corporate media.”

If you live in Terrebonne, or in Toronto—Scarborough Southwest & University–Rosedale, now’s your moment to make your voice heard! This long weekend, vote early and support Tatiana Auguste, @dolybegum, and Danielle Martin—strong voices for their communities.

A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing. His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.” This is the same man who called joining Trump’s war “buying cheap tickets for the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.” The French are not holding back.

I'm sorry... WHAT?!? "Eight of the province’s biggest regional governments in Ontario will have their leaders directly APPOINTED by the province." This is a Trump-style attack on democracy. This is NOT OKAY. globalnews.ca/news/11757173/…

NEW: Less than two weeks before Infrastructure Ontario agreed a controversial lease with Therme, the government was urged to “dig a bit deeper” into the private company’s finances. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/11753811/…

Doug often criticized Wynne for “outrageous salaries.” The new Sunshine List shows salaries in his office grew by 11% with a family member well paid at a local hospital too. This is now the most expensive cabinet in Ont. history. Tell us about outrage, Doug.

From non-compliance to open defiance. @fordnation and @sylviajonesmpp said that you wouldn’t need to pay for healthcare out of your own pocket, but they’re happy to let you keep swiping your credit card. Broken promises on a broken healthcare system. #onpoli

This keeps getting worse. Either Therme scammed Ford or Ford knew and scammed Ontario.

Pierre Poilievre, once again, is showing Canadians that he has no vision to create jobs and grow the economy.   For decades, Canadians have advocated for a modern, fast, inter-city rail network. Alto is a generational investment that will transform travel and connect communities. It will boost GDP by $35 billion annually, create over 51,000 well-paying jobs, and help Canadians work, study, and travel more efficiently.   Pierre Poilievre is turning his back on Canadians from Quebec City to Toronto and the communities in between. Investing in High-Speed Rail means building a more connected, competitive Canada, and proves Canada can get big things done.   The Conservatives, as usual, think small. Turning away from nation-building investments is the wrong choice, and one Canadians reject at a time when we need to build and grow.
