@CanadianPM That’s nice but our provincial govt (ON) isn’t doing enough for core services like health care & education & housing. We need your help to rein this in. They’re using federal $ inappropriately, step in.

From kids cheering on their teammates, to parents in the stands, to all of us uniting behind Team Canada – sport gives people a sense of belonging. Through the #SpringUpdate, the federal government is making a historic investment to expand access to sport. #a34" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">budget.canada.ca/update-miseajo…

Over 1 million people in Ontario used food banks last year. One in three were children. Food bank use has gone up every single year since Doug Ford was elected. If this government won't take action on the cost of living crisis, then they should get out of the way.

Today's Auditor General reports are damning: Fraud in commercial truck driver licensing – despite years of warnings and deaths on our highways. Failing supports for students with special needs. Massive delays at the Family Responsibility Office. The Ford government can't deliver basic services.

With all the secret deals, Gravy Planes, FOI laws and attacks on OSAP it’s easy to forget that Ford has also failed on healthcare #OnHealth #ONed #Onpoli

💯👇There’s a reason she’s called “minister of death”. Privatization is all the know It’s also the first admission that Jones is admitting she can’t do her job ! Who would’ve thought that a diploma in broadcasting wouldn’t prepare you to run healthcare in Ontario🤷#onpoli

@ColinDMello If she gets the info she’s hunting for it may come true

NEW: Premier Doug Ford says NDP Leader Marit Stiles stepped over the line" by suggesting Ford would be imprisoned. The premier, who isn't asking for an apology, called it "Trump-style" comments. #onpoli

NEW: Ontario Schools are failing to ‘consistently’ meet requirements of special needs students: Ontario AG. globalnews.ca/news/11845037/… #onpoli

@tylerwatt He’s very smug about how the PC elected members feel obligated to follow him down his illegal road

The amount of arrogance and smugness from the Ford Conservatives in Question Period today was truly sad to watch. After 8 years in power, this government is completely out of touch with Ontarians. People want answers, accountability, and action - not spin and arrogance. #onpoli

@isaaccallan Our doctor’s team does too

Ontario's auditor general says an AI tool for doctors that hullicaintes when transcribing appointments is already out there. In fact, Shelley Spence said a doctor she recently visited was using the tool. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/11844349/…

@tylerwatt How sheepish

FOI motion lost. Ays 31 Nays 59 Every Conservative present voted against transparency and to shield Premier Doug Ford from accountability. #onpoli

@jasonllevin Egg salad and I need to boil the eggs first and cool them first

If Donald Trump was having a heart attack, and you had 5 minutes to save him, what kind of sandwich would you make?

@merry123459 @JAMain62589705 FOI is definitely more long term important, that’s hidden so people don’t go to jail. But unless he’d like to pay for the plane out of his own including maintenance then show us receipts

Doug Ford didn’t return the jet. You can bet on it. He’s simply too defiant to do that. He’s just waiting for it to all blow over and be forgotten about.

@KarlMagnonMan @merry123459 @Garnet_2203 We can talk about 2 things. What Ford forgets is we have compiled a list, issues stacked one on top of each other . Things to remind others about

@merry123459 @Garnet_2203 Ontario never bought the jet. The info was leaked by an “anonymous” PC Insider to Robert Benzie of the Toronto Star. Thats how the story broke. ZERO evidence exists to the public to indicate it was ever purchased. But we sure talked about it instead of FOI didn’t we?

@DavidRo64445462 @merry123459 @csordoni This is affordability, we can’t affordability

@merry123459 @csordoni The NDP needs to stick to affordability issues. Not chase a wild goose jet case.

Dear Prime Minister Mark Carney (@markjcarney), I was on the Toronto Ferry last year staring at our majestic waterfront. I saw paddlers, kayakers, dragon boaters, sailors, windsurfers, fishers, paddleboarders, water taxis, and cruisers all sharing the space in harmony. When we docked at Hanlan’s Point on the Toronto Islands I was surrounded by hikers, joggers, cyclists, birders, picnickers, swimmers, photographers, beachgoers, frisbee golfers, naturalists, and thousands of tourists and locals enjoying this lush ecological paradise surrounded by our sparkling freshwater lake. Please don’t destroy this by paving Lake Ontario. Three weeks ago Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation) announced he will "seize" Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ) in order to expand runways into Lake Ontario (1), bring in jets against the legal contracts governing the airport (2), and nix 14,000 mixed-use homes slated to go up on the shore (which taxpayers have already spent $1.4B developing). (3,4) Although this decision is not his to make — Billy Bishop is governed by the City of Toronto and the federal government (5) — Premier Ford says he will overrule the City to "bring in jets one way or another." (6,7) Premier Ford says he has the "full support" of your federal government to do this. (8) Prime Minister Carney: It is not too late. Please say no to expanding Billy Bishop airport into the lake. We don’t need this, we don’t want this, and we can’t afford this. We don’t need this. We can already go anywhere we want to go. I live right in downtown Toronto. I can be anywhere I want in the world, tomorrow. I can walk to bus, subway, streetcar, and UP express stations from my house and I fly 40x per year. In the past year I have been to over 35 airports on 3 continents and YYZ is one of the absolute best. In fact, in the past month it has won "Best Airport Staff in North America" (9), been ranked 4th in all of the Americas in efficiency (out of 50 airports) (10), and won Best Large Airport on the entire continent (an award it's won eight times in nine years.) (11) Right this second, checking Uber, I can get from my house by car to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in 21 mins and to Toronto’s Billy Bishop Island Airport (YTZ) in 14 mins. Right this second, if someone at Union Station wanted to get to YYZ on public transit it would take 28 minutes (UP Express) and to YTZ would take 22 minutes (TTC streetcar). We are talking about a 6 minute time savings here. If we want to serve southwestern Ontario’s population with expanded jet service we simply need to use the 7000m of existing, high-capacity, under-utilized jet runways within 2 hours of Toronto at Hamilton (@flyYHM ), Waterloo (@flyYKF), and London (@flyYXU) versus entertaining a "special economic zone" to force a jet-strip into the most environmentally sensitive and densely populated waterfront in the country. We don’t want this. This tiny speck of ecological paradise provides critical respite from our dense and urban concrete jungle and is vital for mental health, community, and happiness. Over 400 peer-reviewed studies show urban forests and parks mitigate depression and anxiety and enhance overall mental well-being. (12) I know you agree because four days ago on March 31, 2026 you announced your "Force of Nature" strategy with the vision of "protecting, restoring, and valuing nature." This wonderful program declares a federal investment of $3.8 billion dollars into "protecting critical habitats and aligning industrial strategies with biodiversity conservation." (13, 14, 15) Also, I looked into the runway expansion into the lake that Premier Ford has promised. Right now the shortest jet runway in Canada is 1832m (YHM Hamilton, ON) and the shortest jet runway in the world is 1508m (LCY London City Airport, UK). There are also new Canadian Aviation Regulations (RESA) stating all runways need to add 150m on each end for safety. (16, 17, 18) Today the Billy Bishop runway is 1216m. (19) Even the most conservative assumption — building the shortest jet runway in the entire world! — still requires a minimum of 600m more runway to land jets. Here is a current aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport. (Photo 1 / attached) Here is an aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport with the smallest possible runway extension of 600m added. (Photo 2 / attached) (Of course this photo doesn’t include additional parking, hangers, gates, aprons, tarmacs, fueling stations, de-icing stations, blast fences, control towers, baggage carousels, taxi pickups … ) We can’t afford this. Premier Ford was first elected in 2018 as the right wing candidate (PC) with 40.5% of the vote (left wing side of NDP and Liberal was 53.2%) and campaigned as a fiscal conservative. (FN) He attacked the Liberals for their $6.7B deficit and vowed a "return to balanced budgets" that would "begin in 2019." (20, 21) Since then Premier Ford has won two more elections — with a nearly identical right / left vote split and record lows in voter turnout — and has now presided over 8 budgets. (22, 23) In order from 2019 to 2026 those eight budgets have been for *deficits* of $8.7B, $16.4B, $13.5B, $5.9B, $5.6, $1.1B, $12.3B, and, most recently, just announced last week on March 26, 2026, coming in at a 77% increase on his own 2025 forecasts, $13.8B. (24, 25) Since Premier Ford was elected he has *increased* Ontario’s debt from $338B to $485B. Ontario now pays $17.2B a year … just in interest payments. (26, 27, 28) Notably, Premier Ford’s most recent $13.8B deficit budget does not include any money for the projected $1-2B cost of expanding Billy Bishop airport. (Prime Minister, you and Premier Ford are both 61 and have a seemingly warm relationship despite wildly different education and business paths. (29, 30, 31, 32) Might you have time for some evening finance tutorials?) Prime Minister Carney: We don’t need this, we don’t want this, we can’t afford this. Please say no to this expansion plan. Please allow the legal agreements governing the airport to remain in the hands of those who legally own it — the City of Toronto and the federal government — and not with Premier Ford’s provincial government who is attempting to autocratically rule something in which it has no stake. At the Junos six days ago on March 29, 2026 you praised 82-year-old @jonimitchell and justifiably called her "one of the greatest artists of all time." (33) Joni warned us about "paving paradise to put up a parking lot" and now that’s exactly what Premier Ford is proposing we do. The Toronto Harbour, Toronto Harbourfront, and Toronto Islands are a crown jewel for the functioning of our great city, our great province, and our great country. Would New York City pave over Central Park? Would Paris put runways on the Seine? We absolutely should not pave the paradise of Lake Ontario to put up runways and parking lots we don’t need, don’t want, and can’t afford. It's not too late. Please say no.

Doug Ford lectured students about “misusing taxpayer money” to justify gutting OSAP grants. Now we know the truth: less than 1% of cases were flagged as ineligible, and not a single case was referred to police. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. This is the same Premier who cried about students allegedly buying cologne while spending $29 million of taxpayer money on a luxury jet. Students trying to afford school were never the problem. This government’s priorities are. #onpoli thestar.com/news/ontario/d…

Doug Ford didn’t “fix” Ontario healthcare. He systematically underfunded it, overwhelmed it, and pushed it toward collapse while pretending everything was under control. ER wait times are exploding. Hospitals are running deficits. Nurses and healthcare workers are burnt out and leaving in droves. Patients are suffering. This is what happens when a government treats public healthcare like a business expense instead of a public service. Doug Ford needs to go.

@MaritStiles @JAMain62589705 Or where is it parked.

How do you lose track of a $30 million jet? Ford says he returned it. Then says the return is still being finalized. Then won't show the receipts. Show us the receipts or admit you're lying.

@StandingHannah Plus high cost

glp1s have made the wellness people change the goalposts from “lose weight” to “lose it but only in a way that is hard/makes you suffer/keeps me employed”. It was never about health for these people.
