Ford's $28.9 million dollar Gravy Plane won't put out Northern wildfires. Every summer, aging water bombers are grounded in Northern Ontario—because we won’t pay pilots properly. Meanwhile, Ford buys a private jet for himself with tax dollars. What are this government's priorities? #onpoli

Here's a story about a Premier who treats the public purse like a personal wishlist… rewarding friends, dodging scrutiny, rewriting the rules when the law gets inconvenient. It would be funny—if it weren’t costing Ontario dearly. #onpoli

So much for being "transparent and accountable." Ontarians won't know the scores of applications to the new round of the Skills Development Fund.

The Ford government's Bill 5 is being challenged at the Ontario Superior Court. The Special Economic Zones Act (SEZA) was passed last spring as part of the controversial Bill 5, which also weakened the province’s ecological and archaeological protections, sparking protests across the province.

Looks like the OntarioNDP's Northern Highway Safety Tour got the government's attention! We are very happy to see the government finally acknowledge the desperate need to improve the safety of our northern highways.

Behind closed doors, the Ford government weakened Canadian content rules—and Thunder Bay workers are paying the price.

I’m thrilled that Conservative MPP Lisa Thompson is opposed to the amalgamation of the Huron and Superior conservation authorities because it’s a project that ignores the science and ignores geographic reality. #ONpoli

Standing in the freezing cold at the Shuniah Inspection Station — closed again. We are risking their lives on northern highways while the Ford government looks the other way. Enough is enough. This station needs to be open — regularly, at least 12 hours a day. #ONpoli #highwaysafety

Building transit in Ontario works. Thunder Bay workers will assemble Toronto’s new subway cars—with 55% Canadian content and billions invested right here. This is what Canadian workers need amidst a shaky global economy: domestic projects, good union jobs, and local supply chains. #onpoli #tbsn

Good news for Northeastern Ontario with the return of the Northlander. Communities fought hard and won safer, more accessible rail. But let’s be clear: Northern Ontario is still being left behind. Thunder Bay deserves real passenger rail and real alternatives to dangerous highways. #onpoli #tbsn

There is a very serious proponent that has made two separate proposals to purchase the mill. And we do know that the United Steelworkers brought the proponent together with the government, and that the government has not replied.

Northern highway safety, the planned merger of many of the province’s conservation authorities (including the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority), the still-idled Terrace Bay mill and reforming the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board are all priorities in 2026. #onpoli

It’s time for the Ford Government and Minister Holland to step up and engage with the proponents interested in taking over the Terrace Bay Mill and make a decision. #ONpoli

OPP investigating Skills Development Fund recipient, Conservatives' Intimate Partner Violence Report written by AI, Ontario legislature won't return until March, establishing a Commissioner for Democratic Rights. Let's recap another week in Ontario politics. #ONpoli

Ford just fired the TDSB director. He’s consolidating power over our children’s schools — not to improve them, but to privatize them. #OntEd

Doug Ford is giving us the 102 day disappearing act—shutting down Queen’s Park until March 23 while Ontarians face a cost-of-living and jobs crisis A government that won’t show up for work sure can’t fix the mess it made. Ontarians deserve better than this. #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

When a company won’t even heat its own pulp mill in a Northern Ontario winter, that’s not ‘evaluating options’—that’s abandoning a community. Time is running out on protecting the Terrace Bay mill this winter. The Forestry Minister's response doesn’t cut it. #onpoli #TBSN

In 2025, Ford spent a record $112 million taxpayer dollars on ads promoting himself. For $30 million, he could have fixed the Ontario Science Centre's roof and kept it open for our children. #onpoli

When a single catastrophic fire can deliver a lifetime of toxic exposure in one day, it shouldn’t matter if you’re a rookie or a veteran—firefighters deserve protection. Full stop. The Ford government loves to praise firefighters. Easy to do at press conferences.

Ford has already told young people facing record unemployment rates to "get off your ass" and find a job. Now Doug is telling families facing evictions and homelessness with Bill 60 to "go find a job." #ONpoli www.cp24.com/politics/que...

Ford government is at it again. When grants keep flowing to well-connected insiders, that’s not “good government”—it’s corruption, plain and simple. Piccini should take responsibility for the mess he has created and stop the endless grifting. #ONpoli www.snnewswatch.com/local-journa...

🚂 On Ford's gravy train, the last are first: Lowest scoring applicants got the highest taxpayer payouts. #ONpoli #firePiccini www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

🚨OPP investigating Did Ford's Minister of Labour give $8.5M tax dollars to Get A-Head? A routine audit revealed "irregularities” with Get A-Head, a business owned by Keel Digital Solutions. #ONpoli

The Northern Highways Safety Act was voted down at Queen's Park last week. It's a matter of common sense, not partisanship. The Ontario NDP continue to call on the Ford government to take long overdue action to make Northern Ontario's highways safer for everyone. #ONpoli #TBSN

Latest on Doug Ford’s Skills Development Slush Fund FGF Brands and Ontario Shipyards both got millions in “training” grants—then executives sent a surge of donations to Ford’s PCs. That’s not job creation. That’s a circular economy of corruption. #ONpoli globalnews.ca/news/1149929...

Ontario is in the middle of a jobs disaster. Now, the Premier wants to make it easier for people to be evicted from their homes with Bill 60. Housing has never been more expensive; and now Ford is making things even worse. We need to build more housing and real rent control now. #ONpoli

A church, a night club, a dentist's office. What do they all have in common? They all got the friends and family special from Doug Ford. We deserve a fair skills development program that helps workers—not insiders. #ONpoli

Latest stops on Ford's gravy train: PC party vice-president got $1.75 million Losing PC candidate got $4 million Did anyone in the PC party executive not pocket money from the Skills Development Slush fund? #ONpoli

That $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for Labour Minister Piccini? Suddenly “cancelled.” Apparently due to a personal commitment—which sounds a lot like realizing Ontarians are done watching PC donors cash in on public funds. If there’s nothing wrong, why pull the plug? #ONpoli

The Ford PCs took a program meant to help workers and turned it into a donor rewards system. Most of Ontario’s latest “Skills Development” grants went to PC insiders. We deserve a fair program that helps workers—not insiders. #ONpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri...

Ford PCs have turned the “skills development” fund into a pay-to-play scheme. A Trillium investigation found that more than half of Ontario’s latest worker-training grants went to groups led by PC donors. We deserve a fair program that helps workers not insiders. #ONpoli

House resumes today Will we get answers or more diversions? ▶️Recap: Auditor General called the Skills Development funding program "not fair, transparent or accountable." ▶️Piccini attends the Paris wedding of a lobbyist who got $8.5M ▶️Piccini attends Leafs game with a lobbyist who got $7.5M #ONpoli

Labour minister Piccini says handing $100M in grants to friends and PC backers isn’t corruption—it’s “skills development.” With 800,000 Ontarians are looking for work, every Skills Development Fund dollar should go to workers—not lobbyists and PC insiders. #ONpoli www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

1.1 million Ontario jobs are at high risk of automation. Yet, there’s no plan from Ford’s Conservatives to protect these jobs or create jobs for the 800,000 Ontarians already unemployed.

Ford's gravy train Clients of Ford's campaign manager received $100 million from the Skills Development Slush Fund. The Auditor General called the fund "not fair, transparent or accountable." #ONpoli

🚨 Doug Ford’s friends are cashing in. Firm owned by Ford's campaign manager gets $100 million from the Skills Development Fund 800,000 Ontarians are looking for work—and Ford turned a job fund into a slush fund for insiders. #ONpoli

Two years since the #Greenbelt scandal broke, and it’s the same story: Ford’s friends get richer while Ontarians get priced out of housing, healthcare, and higher education. This isn’t leadership—it’s government by and for Ford’s insiders. It’s oligarchy. #ONpoli

Ford’s Ontario: ➡️ Labour Minister goes to a Leafs game with a company exec. ➡️ Months later, that same company gets $7.5M in public grants. This isn’t “for the people.” It’s for his pals. #ONpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

Ford says “it won’t happen again”, after a government vehicle was clocked 12 times driving 50+ km/h over the limit. Highway safety isn’t optional—it’s a responsibility. Because nothing says “For the People” like stunt-driving and zero accountability. #onpoli

Ford’s $2.5 billion Skills Development Fund gave public tax dollars to poorly rated projects—against civil service advice. 🚨Now Ottawa is investigating. 800,000 Ontarians are looking for work—and Ford turned a job fund into a slush fund for friends and insiders. #ONpoli

Once again, the Liberals are siding with big execs to privatize an essential public service. This will hit seniors, disabled people and rural communities the hardest. And it means cutting good union jobs. I am proud to stand with workers. Enough with the cuts. Protect public services! #ONpoli

🚨 Ford’s PCs turned Ontario’s $2.5 billion Skills Development Fund into a slush fund. Applications rated poor, low, medium got millions. Meanwhile: ⚠️ 800,000 Ontarians out of work ⚠️ 10,000 jobs lost at colleges This isn’t job creation—it’s corruption. #ONpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

🚨Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act is collapsing in court. 253,000 charges withdrawn in a single year—speeding, running red lights, careless driving. Victims left without justice, drivers without consequences. Highway safety shouldn’t be optional. #ONpoli www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

🚨800,000 Ontarians are looking for work. 🚨10,000 jobs lost at Ontario colleges and the Ford government is using the $2.5 billion Skills Development Fund as a personal slush fund? #ONpoli

💰Ontario for sale Interested in buying: -Greenbelt lands -Ontario Place -Schools -Provincial Parks -Healthcare system -Service Ontario contracts? Ford has 5 fundraisers this week. Meanwhile, the Legislature sits empty. #ONpoli

Ontarians aren’t buying Ford’s scapegoating of school trustees. A new poll shows most people know the real crisis in education is underfunding—NOT local accountability. Local voices matter. Cuts hurt kids. Tell Ford to fund our schools. #onpoli #onted www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Ontarians see through Ford's attempt to get rid of democratically elected trustees. 57% of Ontarians agree the main problem is underfunding. Tell Ford to fund our schools. #OntEd #ONpoli www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Ontario's deficit rising to $12 billion 2025-26. Ontario's debt rising to $549.3 billion in 2029-30. Ford can save money by cancelling the $2.3 billion taxpayer subsidy for a private luxury spa at Ontario Place and the $100 billion fantasy 401 tunnel. #ONpoli toronto.citynews.ca/2025/09/17/o...
