"Confused about OSAP grants? Get up to $50,000 in government grants. Secure your future. No repayment, just opportunity!" These are the types of pitches dozens of student recruitment companies are making online. The Trillium has learned some private career colleges are paying these online recruiters for student referrals. Corporate records also link one recruitment group to a private college network at the centre of the Ford government's OSAP investigation. STORY w/ @jessiecatherine: thetrillium.ca/news/educatio…

There is no leadership under @fordnation, just a Trump clone.

Ontario parents: are you being asked to donate basic necessities to your kids’ classrooms? At my son’s school, parents have been asked to donate things like toilet paper, paper towels & Kleenex. Is this happening at your schools? I’m curious how widespread this is.

The Ford government has increasingly been staging official announcements without inviting the media, limiting reporters’ ability to ask questions during the extended summer break at Queen’s Park. The opposition says Ford is “running scared.” Full story: thetrillium.ca/news/politics…

The "Ford gang" brags about spending $25 million of our money on hospitals. What they don't tell you is they cut $300 million from the health care budget. It's an old shell game. They steal $100 bucks from your wallet then pretend they are a good Samaritan and give you back $5.
Construction has begun on the new and expanded emergency department at Hamilton General Hospital!   Supported by our $25 million investment, the new facility will feature 8,500 square feet of additional space and reduce wait times across Hamilton. news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

I wonder if Doug realizes we don’t believe a word he says. Showing up with his 2 clapping seal Ministers dressed up in their MNR Ontario branded clothing, standing behind their “Protect Ontario” sign, when they’re doing everything BUT protecting us.

#BREAKING: Days after resigning over $16,000 in taxpayer-funded hotels, new records show Stan Cho expensed nearly $100,000 in food through his riding association – every receipt filed as "meetings hosted," including a $6,970 meeting at a Blue Jays game, where the agenda ran nine innings.

NEW: we’re learning more about the cost of “Protect Ontario” ads to taxpayers. FOI records show the cost for just one ministry to produce & run them last year was nearly $10 million. The total the Ford government has spent across all ministries is expected to be much higher.

We are spending at least $500 million a day to bomb Iran. Imagine how many teachers we could hire, how many public housing units we could build, how many bridges and roads we could fix, if we spent that kind of money on improving life for working people?

NEW: The Ford government is moving $4B in taxpayer money from a tariff relief program into a private investment fund. The finance minister argues it will spur economic growth & create future jobs. But critics say it is public money desperately needed in schools and hospitals.

#BREAKING: Doug Ford gets an "F" for failing you in his latest budget. Wrong choices. Real costs. You deserve a credible plan to lower the cost of living, fix health care and education, build affordable homes, create good jobs, and spend your money responsibly. That's what Marit Stiles is fighting for.

It's pretty rich to blame Iran for using the only leverage they have during an illegal war started by the USA/Israel. A war Canada initially endorsed on day 1 The Davos Doctrine is dead (2026-2026)

I’m on my way to meet with transit workers right now, but I have to talk about this first.   This is bullshit. Doug Ford is changing the rules so that he and his ministers never have to answer to you. Ever.   Freedom of Information laws are how journalists, researchers, and regular people find out what the government is actually doing with your tax dollars. That's how we found out about the Greenbelt scandal. The Ontario Place spa deal. All of it. Now he wants to exempt himself, his cabinet, and their offices from those laws. Completely.    He's not trying to protect one document. He's trying to make sure you can never find out what he's hiding. An honest government doesn't do that. And we're not going to let him get away with it.
