Ford's fictional 413 scheme is a 10 billion dollar waste of money. This highway will not reduce congestion. Even top Ontario business execs like @mj_chamberlain agree. #StopThe413 #StopSprawl

Let's call this what it is: corruption. 83% of the lands removed were of the highest agricultural qualities in the world... Sacrificed to help a select few PC donors - to the tune of $8.3 billion. The AG Report confirms what we already knew: this was never about housing. #onpoli

Every government initiative should answer YES to this question: “Is it in the public’s interest? ” Staple’s kiosks? —NO Greenbelt Grab?—NO Privatize Health Care?— NO Spa/Garage at Ontario Place? NO Ford and the Conservatives need to say YES to the public interest.

From today's media release: Over the past few weeks, a devastating, destructive plan has come to light in our community. While the current project does not directly implicate our farm, the effects are far reaching for the farming community and our family farm business. 🧵1/9

Hamiltonians are breathing in a cigarette a day worth of cancerous pollution. We don't know the long-term issues this may cause our most vulnerable people. I'm calling for immediate action from Ford. We MUST remove air quality exemptions on industry to lower emissions. #ONpoli

The final session of the Ontario legislature. It is a great honour to represent the residents of Hamilton West Ancaster Dundas While I have no idea what nasty surprises Doug Ford's government has in store for us - I do know that he only has 95 days left. #hamont #onpoli

“This isn’t about good planning, and the government’s own documents prove that,” Shaw, the Hamilton-area NDP MPP, said. “It’s time for Doug Ford to tell us who is making provincial housing policies.”  #HamOnt #onpoli

New investigation from @fatimabsyed and me: Internal provincial docs show the Ontario government expanded Hamilton’s urban boundary in large part because of requests from unnamed “third parties” — and despite warnings from public servants. #onpoli

DEAR DOUG: 😡 Your cruel #Bill7 let for-profit LTC operators admit seniors without their consent! 😡 You let hospitals charge a $400 daily fee to seniors who refused to be sent to a LTC against their will! SO on #NationalSeniorsDay you should really just zip it!

Our seniors are the backbone of our province & our country. On National Seniors Day and every day, let’s celebrate our seniors and let them know how much we love & respect them. Thank you to seniors across Ontario for all of the contributions you have made to improve our lives.

🚨Quickly imposed end to livelihood of generational farming families on some of Canada’s best soils through expropriation thanks to Ford. What is going on in this province? Years of planning to conserve farmland down the tube. #WilmotFarms @CFifeKW #KW #onpoli

EXCLUSIVE: When Ontario Premier Doug Ford first took office in 2018, his first environmental minister was given a simple yet central task: get climate legislation out of the way of business. Here's Ford's environmental mandate. #ONpoli

Today I rose in the legislature to speak against the cuts to Hamilton services and downloading to city hall. #HamOnt is in the dark and fearful of the result of millions being pulled out of child care programs and public health including addictions counselling services. #ONpoli

NEVER think that an Opposition Party can’t force the Government’s hand. Both Bill 134 (Greenbelt) & Bill 150 (Urban Boundary) would NEVER have happened without our Official NDP Opposition’s request for Auditor General & Integrity Commissioner reports.
