This morning, I called on @SylviaJonesMPP to explain why the gov believes it is fiscally responsible to spend ~3x more to hire nurses thru agencies - giving those agencies a healthy profit - instead of repealing Bill 124 & directing that $ straight to healthcare workers. #onpoli

All across Ont, hospital funding to priv nursing agencies has increased significantly, giving profits to agencies instead of higher wages in the hands of nurses. The responsible thing to do, fiscally & morally, is to repeal #Bill124 & give that $ straight to healthcare workers.

The Ford government's deficit narrative is hurting Ontario's healthcare and education workers. We need to stop the disruption to our healthcare and education system by investing in the workers that are there for us when we need them most. #ONpoli #ONhealth

I had a bit of a “pinch-me” moment on our canvass yesterday. I met @Lightfoot365 , one of my favourite singer-songwriters of all time!!! It was heartwarming to chat and tell him how much his music means to me and my family. Thank you Gordon for all the good vibes!

I am disappointed that this Conservative gov decided to vote against #Bill50 re: #diversity on corp boards. This bill comes from a recommendation of this gov’s own task force, yet they haven’t moved on it. I’ll be watching to ensure they set a timeline to get this done. #onpoli

On Dec 12 I asked this of the Premier: “Who is telling him that paving over the Greenbelt is the solution to the housing crisis & are they the same people who stand to profit from this decision?” The AG confirmed they are indeed: a few developers will make $billions. #onpoli

Even if the #GreenbeltScandal was about housing ($8.3 billion in profit kinda suggests it isn’t), the ends does not justify the means. This is why we have rules around planning, lobbyists, MPPs, Ministers & their staff. Time for Mr. Clark to resign. #onpoli

Every day, it’s becoming more clear that all roads lead back to @fordnation in this Greenbelt Scandal. Why is the former executive assistant to Premier Ford working with an unregistered lobbyist to crack open the Greenbelt? See my full statement: #GreenbeltScandal #ONPoli

This Gov’s Fall Economic Outlook is a big disappointment for the people of ON, proving again the Gov is more focused on helping their rich friends than ON families who are struggling. And their new bank is the next step to privatizing our public services. #onpoli

Meritocratic appointments are critical to a justice system that people can trust. Appointing more #Fordfriends to these important roles erodes that trust. This is another blatant example of how broken it is under Ford rule. #onpoli #onpoli

Doug Ford's Housing Minister opened up protected Greenbelt land and now their closest developer friends could make $8.3 billion. The Conservative gov says they did it for housing—housing that won't be built for ten years, per the Auditor General. #onpoli

The Min of Ed is trampling our rights to protect the needs of children, he says. But he cut student support and edu programs 4 years ago. Where was his concern then? He talks about valuing workers & at the same time slashes their rights. HE can’t have it both ways. #onted #onpoli

Contrary to what they told the Integrity Commissioner (under oath), it seems @fordnation 's office may have known about and was more involved in the $8.3 Billion #Greenbelt scandal than they wanted the public to believe. What else are they hiding? #onpoli
