Sustainable, predictable funding for:
🚇 Transit
🏠 Housing
🏪 Community support
Instead, this Conservative government has a very bad habit of taking money away from municipalities – and giving back less in little chunks.

Ontario could be losing good, union jobs in a key sector in the middle of a trade war. Doug Ford needs to fight for Ontario’s auto workers and the future of this sector. You can count on me to stand shoulder to shoulder with workers to keep good auto jobs in our province.

Something doesn’t add up 🧮❌
This government say that they have no money for students trying to go to school and build a better life.
But meanwhile, we’ve discovered that their Conservative donors are defrauding the OSAP system for themselves and their private colleges.
This simply isn’t right.

The Health Minister kept saying experts make these decisions. Then the experts said yes to Sabrina, and the answer was still no. Robin got thrown out for asking why. Maybe spend less time blaming the experts and more time approving her treatment.
Ford’s government denied a 31-year-old cancer patient her treatment after the experts said YES.
Dr. Robin Lennox called it out and got kicked out of the legislature for it.
Sabrina deserves a chance at life.

“She has lied and people have died.”
Moments ago at Queen’s Park: NDP MPP Robin Lennox is kicked out of the chambers for calling Health Minister Sylvia Jones a liar, following revelations that Ontario refused to fund Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment despite its own ndation.

NEW: Ontario’s own health agency recommended funding a 31-year-old cancer patient’s treatment in the U.S. Two clinical experts agreed it was medically necessary.
But a senior ministry of health official denied her funding anyway — and Sabrina Apitz-Grossman was never told about those recommendations, new FOI records reveal. thetrillium.ca/news/health/on…

When I drop my kids off at school, I know their teachers are key to them having a great day.
That’s why I was proud to stand with teachers this morning at Clinton Junior Public School, as we connected with parents about:
✅ A Fair Deal
✅ Investing in our schools
✅ A stronger rio
We’ve had enough of all the cuts – especially to education.
It’s time for better.

This Conservative government is more interested in advertising themselves, than they are in your kid’s school.
What tangible benefits do their multi-million dollar adverts have for students facing cuts in the classroom?
I asked them. Three times.

The Conservatives have put Ontario on track for $500 billion in debt.
⁉️ What do we get for that?
❌ Cuts to healthcare and education.
💸 The government’s Fall Economic Statement mini-budget pretends everything is fine - whilst they run up the biggest deficit in provincial history.

It’s too bad he’s been spending the last 8 years turning our hard earned taxpayer cash into trash.
On burning garbage, Premier Doug Ford says he wants to turn “trash to cash” by burning Ontario’s waste for energy.

Another day, another scandal, another Ministry, another audit.
⁉️ It's the same story wherever you look.
❌ This Conservative government simply cannot manage your taxpayer dollars.

NEW: Applications to the Better Jobs Ontario program are now being paused as the Ford government looks at “inconsistencies” in that sector as well.
That review was launched in the wake of the OSAP concerns at private career colleges

A two-year rent freeze would put $600 back into the pockets of 1.5 million households across Ontario.
In 2027. And again in 2028. That's not chump change.
It's a simple, practical solution.

I hear it all the time: young people in Ontario are giving up on owning a home and starting a family because life has gotten too expensive.
That's why we’re pushing for a two-year rent freeze and for the province to start building permanently affordable homes – at scale.

These texts are more than just texts: they’re a direct line from donors to the doors of power.
That’s how this Conservative government operates – we only have to follow the money.
The Greenbelt, the Skills Development Fund, the story goes on: is there any part of our province they are not willing to sell and trade-off to the highest bidder?

Two weeks.
That’s how long after Doug Ford’s government gave lobbyist “Mr. X” a special zoning order for his client before PC MPP Laurie Scott asked him to sell fundraiser tickets to “the ones we just helped.”
With Doug Ford, pay-to-play works fast.

Doug Ford pulled the rug out from under students and then blamed them for it.
His government was warned about suspicious OSAP activity at private career colleges as far back as 2023, and it kept approving them for funding anyway.
Now students are left with more debt, no OSAP grants and no idea how they’ll finish school.
Today I’m forcing a vote to make Ford come up with a plan, within 14 days, for the students paying the price for his government’s failure.
