Why did Doug Ford close the Ontario Science Centre? Was it to divert attention from the $2.2 billion taxpayer funded spa being built next door? #ONpoli

@MikeLounds A perfect summary

@chrisglover They want to destroy public school systems, funnel $ to private (for-profit) schools their friends run, then have an excuse to close public schools and sell the land to their developer friends in the name of “affordability”. It’s one never-ending grift.

Ford removed Peel school board trustees because they were going to lay off 60 teachers. His supervisor is now cutting 300 teachers. It's clear that Ford is taking over school boards because trustees refuse to make cuts fast enough to keep up with Ford's provincial funding shortfalls. #ONpoli #OntEd thestar.com/news/gta/hundr…

@JDinthe416 Ford pays his supervisors $350,000/yr Peel trustees were paid $27,000/yr

@chrisglover More cuts mean more money for Ford's projects, etc. And how much are those supervisors making per year for 3 1/2 days work per week?

After years of waiting, Waterfront for All finally received a response to their FOI for the Toronto Port Authority's 2017 Environmental Assessment of the Billy Bishop airport's previous proposed expansion. A whole host of problems were found including increased public health risk, marine navigation difficulties, and socio-economic and tourism issues.

Doug Ford says he’s not trying to hide his corruption, he's just gutting the Freedom of Information Act to protect us from Chinese communist infiltration. Right... because the Chinese Communist Party is interested in the megaspa Ford is building at Ontario Place. #ONpoli

Ontario’s Privacy Commissioner is warning about Ford’s plan to weaken access to information: “If records about government business can be shielded from scrutiny simply because they sit in a minister's office, public accountability is eviscerated.” What is Ford trying to hide? #ONpoli

This is such an understandable feeling. A great way to make a difference so that we can continue to build our movement in time for the next election is to connect with your local @OntarioNDP riding association. Feel free to DM me your riding and I can connect you with local organizers near your!

@chrisglover @chrisglover Chris, what can we do on the ground as constituents? I know to write to our city councillors but with all the corruption & likelihood of incestuous relations btwn the levels, feeling pretty disenchanted about honest politics. Hate that for me

🚨 BREAKING: Doug Ford just gutted the law that allows Ontarians to request information about his government's policies. These Freedom of Information requests helped uncover the Greenbelt scandal and preferential treatment for a multi-billion dollar foreign-owned megaspa at #OntarioPlace. The ability to request information is why the Ford government is under RCMP criminal investigation right now. #ONpoli

I’m on my way to meet with transit workers right now, but I have to talk about this first.   This is bullshit. Doug Ford is changing the rules so that he and his ministers never have to answer to you. Ever.   Freedom of Information laws are how journalists, researchers, and regular people find out what the government is actually doing with your tax dollars. That's how we found out about the Greenbelt scandal. The Ontario Place spa deal. All of it. Now he wants to exempt himself, his cabinet, and their offices from those laws. Completely.    He's not trying to protect one document. He's trying to make sure you can never find out what he's hiding. An honest government doesn't do that. And we're not going to let him get away with it.

@chrisglover You all went along with the silencing & cuts to waste water testing, science table dismantled, lying about SARS-COV-2 etc. and you act surprised he's silencing and hiding more corruption, negligence? JFC. You can't have it both ways.

My office once filed a Freedom of Information request with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It took five years and over $1,000 just to get a response. That’s not transparency. That’s a system designed to keep Ontarians in the dark. #ONpoli

@Im_Him711 I'm an Ontario NDP MPP and this FOI overhaul is being done by the Ontario government. I believe you're mentioning issues with the federal FOI process and federal government transparency.

The one person whose job is to tell Canadians where their money goes was silenced. You let his contract lapse. You didn't name a replacement. The former PBO says it's a conscious decision to keep him quiet. You're spending $502 billion this year and you made sure no one can audit it. What exactly are you hiding and how much of it are you stealing?

"This is bullshit" Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles blasts an overhaul of Ontario's access to information law ctvnews.ca/toronto/articl…

Global News has been engaged in a years-long transparency battle with Premier Doug Ford's office over his cell phone records. The government has lost a battle in court. The government is now changing the rules to neutralize the FOI. #onpoli

In 1996, the Harris Conservatives privatized water treatment, 2300 people got sick, 7 died and the government paid $150 Million in compensation and cleanup costs. Now Ford has passed legislation converting public water utilities to arm's length corporations. Ford says this isn't a step toward privatization, but can you trust what he says? #ONpoli

GLOVER: Ford eyes Toronto’s waterfront while Ontario’s health care and education systems crumble From @chrisglover #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/glover-fo…

Instead of spending billions of taxpayer dollars on a luxury mega spa and a new convention centre, Doug Ford should be focused on the basics: healthcare and education. That's what an @OntarioNDP government would prioritize. #ONpoli

Ford has destroyed the Ontario Science Centre, Ontario Place, now he wants to destroy the entire waterfront—a major tourist destination that welcomes 18 million visitors a year. #ONpoli
