My advice to #MLBBroadcasters worried about adapting to faster pace: speak a lot less, not faster!! @MLB

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion. They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare. Don't let them fool you.

#InternationalWomensDay provides another important moment to reflect on my good fortune to have remarkable independent strong women in my life including my partner, daughters, granddaughters and mother-in-law!

Women are often told not to occupy too much space. We’re taught to ask for little. I want all women and gender-diverse Ontarians to expect more, and to occupy space, because we deserve more. Thank you to community leaders in London for joining me for my #IWD2023 brunch! #onpoli – at London, Ontario

While Doug Ford & the Conservatives fight in court to keep nurses wages frozen, more & more are leaving. That means nurses are even more overwhelmed then before. I'm calling on the government to start respecting nurses. Pay them a decent wage. #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…

Doug Ford's flawed paid sick days program expires at the end of the month, yet workers continue to get sick with COVID & many other illnesses. It's time for 10 PERMANENT paid sick days so workers can stay home if they or their children are sick #onpoli

I just voted NO to Bill 60, the Your Health Act, because it won’t solve the healthcare crisis. It puts shareholder profits before patient care, and it’s another chapter in Ford’s long history of underfunding and decimating our public healthcare system. #onpoli 1/2

Thanks to @maritstiles for holding @fordnation to account for his ongoing blatant disregard for the most basic tenets of moral purpose leadership. It's hard to keep up with the number of his conflicts of interest and blatant acts of cronyism.
NEW: Ontario's NDP has asked for an official ethics investigation into Premier Doug Ford over the $150/ticket family fundraiser -- stag and doe -- that included developers and lobbyists. The government calls it a "smear attack." #onpoli

New: as promised, the ON NDP have officially asked Integrity Commissioner to investigate Premier Ford for his stag and doe for his daughter which developers and lobbyists attended. Ford has denied any wrong doing. #onpoli
