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.

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

A deeply concerning story about rogue Canadian MP’s who seem to be on a mission to undermine Canadians’ confidence in our democratic processes. @globepolitics #democracy #Canada

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

Doug Ford ghosted Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy. He let them down. He let Ontarians down. And today he refused to take responsibility.

Despite the evidence that privately delivered surgeries have higher death rates, worse outcomes, higher costs and bleed staff away from the public system, the Ford government has introduced legislation today. Our job now is to battle like never before for the public system.

Conrad Black was convicted on 3 counts of fraud and 1 count of obstruction of Justice in the US, stripped of the Order Of Canada & expelled from the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada.
He was pardoned by TRUMP in 2019.
This is who endorses Poilievre.
Conrad Black: Pierre Poilievre is the future. His trouncing of the CBC proves it.

In health care it is not privatization to fear, it’s 'profitization.' We are told to welcome, not fear, more for-profit care; that more care is the cure for what ails us. This claim is neither new nor true, by @ArmineYalnizyan, Pat Armstrong thestar.com/opinion/contribu… @torontostar

As Ontario’s Premier, Doug Ford should be listening to local leaders, not land speculators. And local leaders have been crystal clear: they want real leadership on the housing crisis, and they want Bill 23 repealed.

It’s clear that this type of behaviour has become a pattern for Ford. Just like those conveniently timed Greenbelt land deals, something is not adding up.
The people of Ontario deserve transparency. #onpoli
BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford tells Ontario’s Integrity Commissioner that developers who he counts as “personal friends” attended a fundraiser stag and doe party for his daughter and son-in-law in August.
