$1 million taxpayer dollars for a thoroughly debunked business case for demolishing and diminishing the Ontario Science Centre. We can’t afford this Ford government! thestar.com/business/ontario… #onpoli #topoli

Ford Math:
$1 M Tax dollars spent on a sham business case to tear down the Ontario Science Centre and move it into a new building that's half the size with no parking
Promising $450 M Tax dollars for an underground parking garage
We can't afford Ford!

Ontario awarded nearly $1 million in contracts to various companies to write a business case on moving the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place on Toronto's waterfront, The Canadian Press has learned.

Ponder this:
The leader of the Conservative Party refuses to get security clearances so he can properly assess the level of threat our democracy is facing.
Willful ignorance is willful irresponsibility.
This man is not fit for public office.
Poilievre is the sole party leader forgoing access to classified report on foreign interference, @MariekeWalsh reports. theglobeandmail.com/politics…

A reminder to Canadian women, "It's settled law," they will say of abortion rights, and "No one wants to reopen that."
They will tell you that you're being "hysterical," when what you are being is vigilant.

Pierre Poilievre has been my MP since 2004, when he was an arrogant student with only 2 yrs of university under his belt.
In 20 years, all he has done is rage farm.
He gets $299,900/yr, a mansion complete with a chef and driver, and travels the country campaigning. That's it.
20 plus years in politics, and zero accomplishments... 😐

After all the crisis Ford has caused in healthcare and the harm to nurses with his privatization scheme to profit PC Party pals by paying 3X more with our tax dollars to nursing agencies this post is repugnant. The attempt at gaslighting is...sick. #onpoli #cdnpoli #onhealth #ON

For Canadians watching in horror at what is happening to women's rights in the USA, you need to be equally concerned for your rights here.
Pierre Poilievre says he will pick & choose who has rights. Now his MPs are targeting women & their right to healthcare. It can happen here!

Nice graphic. Wish it also included the "creating" side of media literacy, e.g., Making media (including social media posts) that are ethical and effective for format and audience.

Premier Ford: your acknowledgement is important but your policies and laws are clearly anti-nurse, and thus it is galling would pretend to be on their side. You took Bill 124 all the way to Appeals Court and you lost. You are no friend of publicly funded nurses. @fordnation

If there was any doubt, this settles it: Highway 413 scheme is just a $10 billion subsidy for its "friends" mcmansions.
If this were about "traffic congestion", Ontario'd achieve more, faster, slashing 407 truck tolls.
When @MaritStiles moved to do that, @FordNation voted NO!
Just like John Tory's insistence that we "couldn't" provide cell service in subway stations or stop cars blocking the King Streetcar...
@FordNation's insistence we "can't" save billions by shifting traffic to the 407 simply means "my 'friends' don't want me to".

This is Fascism folks. Now is the time to see it and reject it whole cloth while you still can. If you haven't learned from history America you are doomed to repeat it. And that risks the world.

Doug Ford will do anything to move @OntScienceCtr:
Override municipal protections. Heritage protections. Environmental protections.
But he can’t override our spirit.
Today, we told @fordnation that this is *our* Science Centre, and it’s not going anywhere.

Greenbelt scandal involved 7,400 acres and $8.3B in gains.
Hwy 413 is at least 3,300 acres, which would be at least $3.7B using the same math.

Poilievre spreading lies to cover up his complicity in the former Harper government’s actions. No surprise since we all know that he lies whenever it suits his purpose. When will we find out what’s in the secret FIPA deal that Harper signed with China? #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon

Couldn't have said it better ourselves!! Thk you @Wayne_Gates
Operating rooms in public hospitals across the province are sitting empty or underused - meanwhile, Doug Ford is increasing funding to private clinics by over 200%.
The Premier is tearing apart public care so private companies can get rich.
We must defend public care. #onpoli

Ontarians are being told the “the Get it Done Act” will save them money from license plate renewals, driver’s license fees, tolls on highways that don’t even have tolls, and carbon taxes.
This is not what the bill is about.
It’s really about Sprawl 2.0 and giving huge gifts to developers like the De Gasparis family.
By weakening Ontario’s environmental protection rules, the Conservatives are looking to ram through huge infrastructure projects like Highway 413 and the Bradford Bypass without proper study, and open up huge swaths of rural land to sprawling development.
We fought them before on the Greenbelt and urban boundary expansion and won. And we will do it again.
