We sat for only 23 days this year - but Doug Ford is choosing not to have the House sit again until October 20th. Meanwhile, we have 2.3 million people without a doctor, ERs & UCCs around the province closing their doors, & families struggling to make ends meet. Shameful.

This is horrifying. Let's be crystal clear - hate has no place in Niagara or anywhere in Canada. I completely condemn this ugly display of hatred in our community. Niagara is for everyone.

Enough is enough. The lack of public transparency or accountability isn't going to cut it. It's long past time that the remaining animals are moved to appropriate sanctuaries, where they will be kept safe and heathy, and that the park is repurposed without animals. #onpoli

Let's get serious. When we are building local infrastructure, we should be using local workers, local product, and local business. It's a no-brainer. When it comes time to re-build the Skyway bridge, Ontario tax dollars should go to Canadian steel and local jobs. #onpoli

Once again, Doug Ford has failed on the housing file. We have a housing crisis across the province, hurting seniors, families, and young people alike - and Ford is choosing to sit on his hands and do next to nothing. We need urgent action. #onpoli https://t.co/n2RjRiyTCo

Because of a lack of regulation, costs for seniors for care & food have increased as much as 60% over the last few years. It's no wonder more & more seniors are experiencing homelessness in Ontario. Ford and his Minister have allowed this to happen. They must take action now.

Several dozen First Nations in Ontario called for the resignation of the province’s environment minister Wednesday after he asked the federal government to not reintroduce a bill that would enshrine clean drinking water rights in law. https://t.co/NuInUEkG1A

At least 10,000 workers have been laid off under Doug Ford - and he refuses to support education with the funding needed to protect jobs. Billions for a private spa and a tunnel under the 401 - next to nothing for working people or public services in Ontario.

NEW: $6,000 per surgery, and the ability to offer patients "uninsured upgrades." That's part of the package private health facilities will receive if they're greenlit by the Ford government this summer. Critics are calling for more patient protection. #onpoli

Ontario announces $125 m for orthopaedic surgeries in "community " clinics. Expect costs to double, waiting lists to grow, wealthy people to get preferential access and hospital employment to sag as staff leave for private clinics.

I was deeply saddened today to hear of the passing of Buzz Hargrove. Buzz was a lifelong champion of Canadian workers. He was brilliant, fierce, determined, and had a passionate belief in making life better for working people across our great country. Rest in peace.

Ford government to bury the historical inspection record in #LTC. Tonight’s news story by @CBCToronto, with comments from myself and @Wayne_Gates 👇

Dr. Stamatopoulos and MPP Gates stands up for the many who don't have a voice, for the public interest and for the public's health. The Ford government should admit a mistake and allow LTC records to stand and not hide them. @DrVivianS @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP @Wayne_Gates

Once again, Doug Ford is prioritizing private interests over public accountability. Let’s not forget - we lost over 6,000 seniors in LTC during COVID, most of whom in private, for-profit homes. Now Ford is trying to bury those records. It’s wrong, period. #onpoli

No one - no patient, no family member, no doctor, no nurse, no worker - should have to pay to park at a public hospital in Ontario. Politicians don't pay to park at their workplace - so why should doctors, nurses, and front-line workers who are saving lives, day in and day out?

BREAKING: Ford's Conservatives have rammed through Bill 5, which is a direct threat to our ecosystems & our democracy, without any form of consultation from Indigenous communities or respect for treaty rights. And the Premier couldn't even show up. Shameful. #onpoli

Congratulations to @Prof_Savage & @stephross_mac. Their award-winning book is essential reading for anyone who wants to make sense of the shifting landscape of labour & working-class politics in Ontario and across Canada. #canlab #onpoli

It's great to see multi-partisan support for caregiving issues at the @lao_english. 66% of Ontario caregivers face financial hardship. Thank you MPP @Wayne_Gates for shining a spotlight on this critical issue. https://t.co/mDbbnOjWdF #CdnCaregiving #CanPoli @james_janeiro
