Ontario's PCs won't even explain what they mean when they say the Ring of Fire minerals are "the most ethical resources on earth." "Think about it," says Wildlands League's Anna Baggio. "they’re claiming that the rocks on the ground are ethical..." https://t.co/j2AwfN75DS

Doug Ford only pays attention to the North when he needs to make shiny announcements, but won’t lift a finger to do anything about the only LifeLabs location in Sudbury closing up shop, leaving thousands without the services they need. Communities across the North relied on this

I don’t know who on Rob Ashton’s team approved this campaign email but it deserves an award for how poorly it’s worded. Thanks very much for giving me minor cardiac arrest, anxiety and a bit of indigestion 😒
