NEW: The Ford government takes over two more school boards, bringing the total to eight. The education minister says “both Peel & York Catholic are facing serious challenges they cannot resolve on their own.” Of note: the new supervisors have no background in education.

Doug Ford doesn’t want another Robyn Doolittle moment: Doug Ford watched his brother Rob get absolutely torched by one relentless investigative reporter, Robyn Doolittle at the Toronto Star. She caught the mayor lying about crack cocaine, and it nearly destroyed the whole family. Now look at what’s happening: Tina Yazdani, one of the only Queen’s Park reporters who actually grilled this government, gets fired by CityNews. Two of her toughest Ford stories? Quietly scrubbed from the website. And right on cue, Doug’s rushing through changes to bury his own phone records and exempt his office from Freedom of Information retroactively. He learned exactly what happens when a good journalist gets too close to the truth. He doesn’t want to live through it again. This isn’t about modernizing anything. This is a Premier trying to make sure nobody ever exposes him the way his brother got exposed. @CityNewsTO @fordnation

Toronto journalist Tina Yazdani axed from CityNews and the blowback was immediate blogto.com/city/2026/04/t…

A female journalist challenges Doug Ford. Asks tough questions. Does her job. And then she’s gone. We don’t have all the details yet. But when reporting holds political leaders accountable, and the fallout lands on the journalist instead of the people in power… people are going to ask questions. Because this isn’t happening in a vacuum. Women in journalism are already: Targeted more. Doubted more. Attacked more. So when one of them disappears right as things get uncomfortable you don’t get to tell the public not to question it. No one is above scrutiny. Not journalists. And not politicians either. If everything is above board, transparency shouldn’t be a problem. @CityNewsTO @fordnation

Ford has a history of making news folks disappear if they are critical of him.

For no reason I was thinking of this pic today @Rogers 👀

Poilievre still blaming “backroom deals,” for the LPC majority. As if he didn’t get his own seat through a backroom deal after losing in the election. Shocking lack of self reflection from a leader who lost 4 members of his caucus, and a party that’s lost 4 elections in a row.

This is insane. One of Ontario's best reporters @TinaYazdani was fired from @CityNewsTO and they won't say why. They also removed a couple of her stories that showed her challenging the Ford government's garbage.

Definitely time to boycott @CityNewsTO !

This isn't the first time Doug Ford has got journalists fired because they displeased him. In fact Doug and his government routinely get people pulled from the air. It's all part of a corruption web Doug has created with his cronies on corporate boards with developers. It's why we need a full, lengthy and expensive public inquiry into Doug's corruption as soon as the PCs are booted from power. It will take years and a lot of public money to hold Doug and his cronies accountable but it's necessary to rid this province of corruption and build a better system of govt with the checks and balances Doug removed.

NEW: CityNews has cut ties with Queen’s Park reporter Tina Yazdani, @policornerca has learned, while at least two of her stories about the Ford government have quietly vanished from the web without explanation. policorner.ca/p/scoop-the-fi…

Ford is flooding the zone with announcements to hide his cell phone records? That doesn’t sound good

Watch. Did Tina Yazdani get fired by Trumper Ford after Tina Yazdani reported schools with Ontario Science Centre roof remained open. A pissed off Trumper said, "thank you for that."

Keep sharing Tina's posts please. Shame on @CityNewsTO

The real version

Funny, here’s Stephen Harper supporting floor crossing when it benefited him and the Conservatives. So was it fine then, but “authoritarian” now?

This was in 1999 She was a fucking Escort working for Epstein and Donald Trump was married to his 2nd wife Marla Retweet so that the truth spreads

🇨🇦 | Canadian doctor: “We saw everything with our own eyes, Israel is lying. Be brave and declare that this crime is a genocide!”

I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?
