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...

Ford's gravy train. $6.5 million taxpayer dollars went to Ford's friend to train staff at his nightclub. Meanwhile, $1500 per student per year is cut from the education budget. The Auditor General is investigating. #ONpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

The ONDP passed a Convention Resolution—Securing our Future by Investing in Post-Secondary Education. We need to reverse the decline of our colleges & universities. Debt should never be the price of education—and a progressive society must invest in its future. #onpoli #OntEd

🚨 People power works. After NDP pressure, 185 unsafe truck drivers have been pulled off the road and the Auditor General is probing commercial truck licensing. We need better training & testing, and adequate Ministry of Transportation enforcement. Families deserve safe highways. #ONpoli

While I was driving us to our Caucus retreat in Collingwood, my colleague @chrisgloverndp.bsky.social drove the point home about Ford's real plan for our public schools. Privatization.  We have to stand up now—for our children’s future, and for the trustees we elected to defend it. #ONpoli

Highways 11 and 17 are the lifelines of Northern Ontario; yet they remain some of the deadliest roads in the country. Ontario NDP are calling on the Ontario government to implement their Northern Highway Strategy and finally deliver progress on making highways 11 and 17 safer. #ONpoli

Ford refuses to provide a budget or timeline for Highway 413. It's a good way to avoid future embarrassment. They've never completed a project on time or on budget. #ONpoli globalnews.ca/news/1135200...

When Ontario jobs were at risk, the Ontario NDP stepped up. We pushed for months to make sure the TTC’s new subway trains would be built at Alstom in Thunder Bay. Today, that work has paid off. This is a win for jobs, for workers, and for Ontario's economy. #ONpoli

Friends with benefits, Ford-style. Ford tried to move Highway 413 to boost his friend Cortelluci's Greenbelt land value, handed him multiple MZOs, and sold him the 40-acre Hearn plant for $16 million (with no public process) when Toronto land usually goes for far more. #ONpoli

Ford's missing in action while Ontario burns. Wildland firefighters warned for years—they’re understaffed & underpaid. Instead of providing them with resources & respect, the government is still playing games with their livelihoods and leaving Ontario unprotected. #ONpoli

The Ontario NDP is reiterating our call for greater supports for Palestinian refugees. Canada must do more to help those fleeing the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe and genocide in Gaza. #StopGenocide #FreeFreePalestine

In Northern Ontario, where winter driving is no joke, lives are at stake. But instead of having the MTO conduct testing & licensing of commercial drivers, the Ford government has outsourced it — putting public safety at risk. #ONpoli www.snnewswatch.com/local-news/m...

Ford and his Ministers were visiting Thunder Bay and they still couldn't be bothered to open the $30 million Shuniah inspection station. Protect Ontario—What about inspecting transport trucks and safer highways? #ONpoli #TBSN

Ford talks about Protecting Ontario... 🔥1300 evacuated in July alone 🛩️Waterbombers grounded due to pilot shortage 💸$42M cut from wildfire response Ford’s legacy? A forest firefighting program that’s undervalued, underfunded, and a province unprotected. #ONpoli

Ford is pillaging Ontario's public assets. Next target: our Provincial Parks, starting with 645 acres of Wasaga Beach. This is just another example of the Ford government stepping over Ontarians and handing out public land to private developers. #ONpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ford PC's fundraising chair ”not only raises party funds from developers, but he personally makes money working with them." Why is this not a surprise? #ONpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri...

Northern Ontario highways move goods & people across this country. But for too long, they have treated as an afterthought. When there's an accident, everything stops. Goods stall. People's lives are lost. That must change. Make Highway 11/17 a national priority. #ONpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

While Trump blusters and Ford vacations, Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles hits Thunder Bay with a simple message: the North can’t afford to wait. “People are fighting for their jobs and communities — I’ll be their ally and we’ll get things done.” #ONpoli
