NEW: In his first year running Ontario's largest school board, the Ford government's TDSB supervisor logged more than twice as many meetings with the board's $20B real estate arm than he did with parent groups, calendar entries reveal. The FOI records offer a rare glimpse into the supervisor’s day-to-day work, raising concerns that parents have taken a back seat under provincial supervision. Story: thetrillium.ca/news/educatio…

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 It looks like Ford is planning a major sell-off of schools. Through the TDSB, Toronto taxpayers own 612 properties worth $20 billion. Ford changed the rules so his Minister of Education could sell any school to anyone he wants. Ford's TDSB supervisor met twice as often with the TDSB's property management arm as with parents. #OntEd #onpoli

There were over 46k Bike Share rides in Toronto yesterday, more than the average ridership of the Queen streetcar. The cost to the city to operate that streetcar was over $50k/day in 2015. Bike share costs the city $8k/day. 6x as cost efficient. Smart cities invest in cycling.

SCOOP: the TDSB is actively fighting a city policy meant to protect school lands from mid-rise development. Critics say this is concrete proof the Ford government is looking to sell off active school properties to developers “to address a funding shortfall of their own making.”

One of @fordnation's chosen contractors in the Ontario Place consortium has a track record of kickbacks and deposits to Swiss bank accounts. Is Ontario’s missing $65 billion in a numbered account in Geneva?

"These guys wanna spend over a billion - that's with a 'B' - of your hard-earned tax $ to build a new Science Centre, when donors offered to fix the old one for free? It's like they think $ grows on trees!!!" 🤨 - Doug Ford, if Lib/NDP did this. #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provinc…

🚨 Breaking: Disturbing documents reveal the Toronto Police Service authorizes mounted unit officers to strike horses, inject drugs, & shoot severely injured horses—without veterinary oversight. Horses don’t belong in policing 🐴 #TorontoMountedPolice #OnPoli

Doug Ford and Kinga Surma claimed the roof of @OntScienceCtr was at risk of collapse yet it's standing strong after the largest one-day snowfall in our history. Meanwhile, they're living large tonight at a $750/plate fundraiser. How do people so wrong have such nerve? #onpoli

And bear in mind, this is the same government that decided they would count every new LTC bed as a new home too.
NEW: The stats for 2025 are in - and Ontario had the worst housing construction rate in the country. The province saw just 62,561 housing starts last year. Its target was 150,000 for this year and next year that will rise to 175,000. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/11622486/…

Bob Rae on Doug Ford: "He's getting all agitated about [Chinese EVs] and not getting agitated enough about what his former buddy Donald is doing to the industry... the real challenge we're having is with the United States on cars it's not with China."

NEW: 40% of grants from the Skills Development Fund's latest round went to for-profit businesses — up from <15% in 2021. In the SDF's Piccini era, 70/109 recipient companies have PC-donating leaders. They've received 80% of the $224M given to for-profits. thetrillium.ca/news/the-tril…

NEW: Premier Doug Ford's office says it is taking Keel Digital Solutions — owner of Get A-Head, a company it's paid $32.7M+ to, including from the Skills Development Fund — to court, seeking $25.9M back to the provincial government. Its claims are untested. More to come...

I’ve seen the video. Don’t believe this propaganda machine. The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice.
Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism. An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers. The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.   This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement who are facing 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.  This is an evolving situation, and we will give the public more information as soon as it becomes available.
