Ontario hospitals announce job cuts as nearly three-quarters try to climb out of financial holes Patients will feel the impacts of job losses at hospitals, NDP critic says cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Watch closely, this isn’t happening by accident. Doug Ford is following the same playbook we’re seeing elsewhere. Step by step, it mirrors what Danielle Smith is doing in Alberta and what the U.S. system has normalized for years. This is how it starts: Underfund public healthcare → create frustration → introduce “alternatives” → normalize private, for-profit care → bring in insurance-driven models. And let’s be clear the capitalist private insurance companies have been eyeing Canada for decades. There’s been pressure going back to the Harper era to open that door. Because once it opens, it doesn’t close. Universal healthcare isn’t just a system it’s a safeguard. And if people don’t pay attention now, we risk waking up to something very different. This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s a pattern. And patterns matter.


Ticketmaster Canada will no longer allow tickets for concerts, sports, and other live events in Ontario to be resold above their original price under Ontario’s newly passed Bill 97.

A dark day for democracy in Ontario. The Ford Conservatives didn’t just pass a budget - they rammed it through. Pulled it out of committee. Cut debate. Shut down scrutiny. And buried inside? Sweeping changes to the FOI system that shield the Premier’s phone records, his office, and Ministers’ offices from the public, even wiping out requests retroactively. This isn’t governing. It’s hiding. And Ontarians should be furious. #onpoli

Doug Ford went to court to keep his personal phone - the one he uses for government business - hidden from the public. He lost. So now he’s changing the law to dodge the ruling. That’s not leadership. That’s rewriting the rules to protect yourself from accountability. What’s on that phone, Doug? Another Greenbelt giveaway? Another Ontario Place deal? Another gravy plane? Ontarians deserve answers - not cover-ups. Enough is enough. #onpoli ctvnews.ca/toronto/politi…

Capitalism breeds innovation.

#BREAKING: Doug Ford was in such a rush to hide his phone records that his Freedom of Information changes quietly received royal assent this morning, on a Friday, with the Legislature not even sitting. I have sent urgent letters to: 1. The Secretary of Cabinet 2. The RCMP 3. Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner Each is being asked to act immediately to safeguard evidence related to the Greenbelt scandal before this government can destroy it. As Premier, I will reverse these changes and restore transparency, trust, and faith in our democracy.
