This is the kind of sleazy politics that turns people off entirely. @fordnation caught behind closed doors saying he will,“open up the #greenbelt”, then publicly saying he will “unequivocally not touch the greenbelt”, to now just opening doing it. It’s all around wrong. #onpoli

This is a disaster for all of Ontario. Doug Ford’s failure to properly oversee our Healthcare system, and his managed decline of it, will leave lasting scars. We need to stand up and fight for what’s left.

You won't see 90% of these PC Party MPPs at all
New today: the Ford government is taking an extended 102-day winter break until March 23. Critics say the premier is avoiding tough questions & “sees the legislature as a magnifying glass on his failures,” but govt house leader says there’s “important work” to do in their ridings

Are we sure it wasn’t A.I who just that interview with @RosieBarton and not @PierrePoilievre? One of the most robotic, scripted, disingenuous leader interviews in recent memory. No self reflection, no substance, just talking points and fumbles those too. @CBCNews #canada #cdnpoli
Anyon me watching Rosemary Barton Live on @CBCNews? Ick Skippy PP is lying his a** off. OMG get him off the TV!

Disaster!! Now they're privatizing hip and knee surgeries!! Costs will double and your wait time will lengthen, all so those with $$ will get faster service
Since privatizing cataract surgeries: wait lists grew, the wealthy significantly increased access (which fell for everyone else) and costs doubled. Privatization of surgeries is a disaster for the public and for the public hospital system. https://t.co/eZi4vwZcgv

Notice how he doesn't deny it. I call Doug Ford corrupt, and he's so corrupt he can't even deny he's corrupt.
New: Premier Doug Ford has responded to the opposition leader’s accusation that his government is corrupt: “I don’t hold it against her. Whatever,” he said. “She gets passionate. It’s unfortunate she uses that language, it’s unparliamentary… she does it to get headlines.”

This is a note for @fordnation & @Metrolinx who are on year 15 of building a 19km track across Eglinton. Nearly 1km/year at this rate. Not counting the yrs the Cons reversed already started construction in the 90s. Do they want #Toronto to have transit at all?🤔#onpoli #topoli
Toronto, this 10km LRT line in Turkey took 5 years to build, and it doesn’t have any wires (there is a third rail, but it’s off when there is no train; so you can walk right across the tracks)…right along the waterfront. Seems like maybe we should do something like this along

Like a lot of Ontarians, I'm fed up with Doug Ford's corruption. I'm not going to let him or his government keep getting away with it.

🚨LCBO revenues down $300 million 💰 that pays for schools, healthcare, infrastructure Canceling beer store contract cost $225 million ▶️Cost to Ontarians of privatizing alcohol sales: $300 M + $225 M = $525 million #ONpoli
NEW: For the first time in a decade, the LCBO is expecting to see less than $2 billion in revenue. That's something workers at the Crown corporation warned could happen after alcohol liberalization was introduced. #OnPoli

Sounds like an insiders gig to me. @fordnation and @PaulCalandra aren’t interested in saving money but helping their wealthy friends/donors while dismantling public education. #onpoli
Focus Ontario: Ontario's school board supervisors are being paid $1,000 for half a day's work -- is it exorbitant, or a cost savings? Global's Isaac Callan breaks down the numbers. #onpoli

Lots of credit to Chris d’Entremont for this interview, in what seems to be a very honest account of just how awful & insecure the #Conservative Party is right now. Threats, pushing, name calling, shake downs. No wonder Con MPs are running away from Pierre’s frat house. #cdnpoli

Folks, under the corrupt former Liberal government, pole dancers and lap dancers were not getting properly trained. That's why we're spending $10M to fix that. Thanks to David Piccini's rockstar strategy, Ontario's going to have world-class, Olympic-level Peelers, my friends.

Imagine being Bev Oda, who was vilified for months in Canada’s media cycle in the late Harper years for expensing a $16 orange juice on a trade mission. Only to see Canada yawning a decade later at ministers corruptly shelling out millions to “train” strippers and bartenders.
NEW: Millions from the Ford government’s Skills Development Fund is benefiting the owner of a new Toronto “adult entertainment club,” where strippers give lap dances & scantily clad aerialists perform while suspended from above by their teeth or hair.

The math isn’t mathing: 22 elected Trustees (each $24,000/year) replaced by 1 gov’t appointee ($350,000/year). Meanwhile, Ontario schools have been short-changed $6.35 BILLION. Enough is Enough. Fund Our Schools. #DemocracyNotBill33 #OntEd
NEW: the Ford government’s appointed school supervisors can spend up to $350,000/year, according to the education minister. That money will come from school board budgets, not the ministry of education. To compare: the TDSB’s 22 trustees made just over $550,000 last year.

Call it Strippergate and get more traction
You can’t make this up. Ten million dollars, money meant to train Ontario workers, handed to an adult entertainment club. It’s time for Doug Ford to show a shred of accountability and fire his Minister of Favours.

We need bold, effective policies that give Ontarians a real chance to get ahead. That’s exactly what our Buy Ontario First strategy was designed to do; to strengthen our economy, support local businesses, and create good, stable jobs for Ontario families. Ontario is in the
#BREAKING: Doug Ford’s Conservatives just voted NO to Buy Ontario First. In the middle of a trade war with the U.S., they refused to protect Ontario jobs and stop public contracts from going to foreign companies.

For Ontarians being bombarded with these [Ring of Fire] ads, they should ask: Why is the government promoting a plan for economic growth that they don’t yet have the legal standing to pursue? #onpoli
Why hasn’t the Ring of Fire project started already? The biggest problem: Ontario doesn’t have the right to the land. #cdnpoli
