Cutting these times down should be the province’s priority, not removing bike lanes or whatever nonsense ford is planning.
Friday at midnight in Toronto. Wait times:
-Sunnybrook: 9h46m
-Toronto General: 5h40m
-Sick Kids: 5h40m
-St. Michael's: 6h44m
We have got to do better than this. Source: erstat.ca/ - @ERStat

Roman Baber is upset that people in Ontario don't have a doctor.
He's blaming Mark Carney instead of his pal Doug Ford.
You know, the guy in charge of Ontario's doctors...
.@MarkJCarney will admit:
- 380,000 new residents per year
- 370,000 temporary residents per year; plus
- 200,000 temporary residents to be granted permanent status (once)
Meanwhile 6 million Canadians don't have a family doctor.

I like that Avi pointed out that giving money to conservatives will mean nobody sees the money and he's right, Doug Ford has taken federal transfers and given it to his rich friends at the expense of the economy because corruption is ok in Canada

Doug Ford is running the biggest deficit in Ontario's history. Wait times are through the roof and our kids are crammed into packed classrooms. So where is all that money going? Because it sure isn't going to the people of Ontario.

If taxpayers are paying for the audit, taxpayers should be allowed to read the results.
The Ford government allowed hundreds of millions of public dollars to flow unchecked for years. Now, they’re refusing to release the findings of the very audit the public has paid for.
"Trust us" isn't good enough. Look where that trust got us. Stop hiding the truth. #onpoli

So many conservative governments across Canada and people cannot understand why healthcare and education is fucked.

NEW: Ontario’s Health Ministry spent $13.3M on advertising last year, new FOI records show.
That brings our tally of the Ford government's advertising spending to more than $90 million across five ministries.
The health minister's office says advertising remains an "important tool" for informing families about programs & initiatives.
Opposition says the government should be using that funding on life-saving treatments or relieving hospital pressures. thetrillium.ca/news/health/o…

Your OSAP grants got cut because the Ford government let spending at private career colleges double to nearly $1 BILLION in a single year - including $385 million going to just seven institutions now under scrutiny.
They were warned about the potential fraud in 2023. They failed to act for years.
Now they’ve frozen OSAP funding for ALL private career colleges, including legitimate ones that follow the rules.
Students are paying the price for this government’s incompetence. #onpoli

Let's get the timeline clear here:
1. Career Colleges Ontario warns the Ford government about suspicious OSAP activity in January 2023. Ford lets private career colleges abuse the system for years.
2. Earlier this summer, we learn that just seven private career colleges received $385M in grants, the same amount as all public colleges in Ontario combined.
3. Instead of holding bad actors accountable, Ford punishes all students who rely on OSAP.
Young people are already struggling to get by in an economy stacked against them. Doug Ford needs to reverse these OSAP cuts, take accountability for his own mismanagement, and hold the bad actors responsible instead of punishing all students.
BREAKING: The Ford government is halting OSAP funding to private career colleges and referring the sector to the OPP after KPMG uncovered "serious concerns" over application integrity.

This is 4 BILLION of OUR tax dollars that, instead of funding public services, is being used to destroy them
Privatization has worsened healthcare outcomes everywhere it’s been instituted.
Report: Ontario spent $4 billion over 8 years on private facility funding, which has been increasing faster than funding for hospitals. The effect on wait times? They’re rising. ctvnews.ca/toronto/article/w… @CTVNews

Doug Ford, stop pretending you rescued public education.
You’ve been Premier since 2018. During your time in office, Ontario has seen inflation-adjusted provincial operating funding per student fall. By 2024–25 it was the lowest it had been in a decade, according to Ontario’s independent FAO.
Your government tried to increase class sizes, a plan the FAO originally estimated would result in thousands fewer teachers than otherwise would have been employed.
Schools have been struggling with staffing, special education needs, EAs, classroom supports and rising costs while you announce a shiny $30-billion, 10-YEAR capital figure as though that erases the record.
Buildings matter. But buildings don’t teach children.
Teachers do. EAs do. Educational professionals do. Properly funded classrooms do.
Ontario’s children need more than Doug Ford’s announcements and photo ops. They need a properly funded PUBLIC education system.
Eight years of Ford is enough. Our children deserve better.

Doug Ford, who took a 4 month summer break last year, followed by a 3 month winter break, then another 5 month summer break this year, announces a new school attendance policy for students. Tell us more about how attendance matters, Doug. 🧐

Premier Ford can't get your kid a bus for the first day of school, but he has plenty of time to grandstand with this kind of low hanging fruit.
Sorry. It's just pathetic.

Dear Ontario voters: standing up for Canada is the minimum we should expect of our Premier. Any of the other leaders would do this.
Focus on his results from the last 8 years which can be visually described as a smoking crater.
Don’t be idiots. You get what you vote for.
