Chilly and snowy day, but a warm reception at the doors for the @oflabour.bsky.social canvass to re-elect the Ontario NDP’s @jennkfrench.bsky.social in #Oshawa. Thanks to all the #OnLab volunteers that came out today. “Get up and get down - Oshawa is a union town.” #OnPoli

Conservatives are never more than one degree of separation away from self enrichment. Switch in Poilievre, Jennie Byrne and Loblaws for Ford, Teneycke and Capitol Counsel and it's the same story for federal conservatives. #cdnpoli #onpoli

Your life is busy, and news moves fast. Sometimes it can seem almost impossible to keep up with all of Ford’s cuts–but that’s exactly what he wants. Here's a swell website that tracks everything Dear Leader has done... #ygk #NeverVoteConservative #OnPoli ofl.ca/ford-tracker/

Gotta say it. My father, and an entire generation of Canadian autoworkers that are no longer with us, would be turning in their graves today. #OnLab #OnPoli

When faced with the threat of protectionist policies during the US-Canada FTA and NAFTA - we used to say - “If you want to sell cars in Canada, you need to make cars in Canada.” Time to bust it out again. #OnLab #OnPoli #Tariffs

Doug Ford has one of the worst negotiating records that I've seen in a Premier. Just look at his Ontario Place deal: Why is every household in the province paying $400 each to subsidize a luxury spa in downtown Toronto?

Doug Ford claims he is “getting it done” in Ontario. Getting what done you ask? The OFL has been keeping receipts. #OnLab #OnPoli ofl.ca/ford-tracker/

Given all the reckless and shady stuff Doug Ford has done since 2018 (see: ofl.ca/ford-tracker/) does anyone trust this guy not to sell out and sell off Ontario to appease his and America’s interests? #OnPoli #OnLab

Experts warn Trump dangerously close to figuring out where Canada is

The AG report found that the redevelopment of Ontario Place is a $2.2 billion mismanaged project. ❌ $2.2B which could have helped build 1.5M homes—enough to end Ontario’s housing supply crisis. ❌ The Ford government gave select bidders insider access. Stay tuned as we uncover more grift.

After six years under the Ford Government, Ontario is worse off. Here’s what we found in the Auditor General Report: ⁠ ⁠ ❌ Record spending on government advertising⁠ ❌ Mismanaging Ontario Place redevelopment⁠ ❌ Failing public health⁠ ❌ Failing public education⁠ Stay tuned as we uncover more grift.⁠

I don't think folks realize that #Ontario #postsecondary is in free fall right now. Programs being cut. Jobs being eliminated. I called it back in 2018 and every year has gotten worse and worse. #HigherEd #Education #onpoli #higheducation

What changed, Pierre? Your axe 🪓 is broken??? 🤨 #AxeTheTax #PierrePoilievreIsFullOfContracdictions #PierrePoilievreIsUnelectable #NeverTrustPoilievre #NeverTrustConservatives #cdnpoli

"US President-elect #DonaldTrump threatens a 25% tariff on Canadian products. Ontario, as the US's third-largest trading partner with billions in annual trade, is at the heart of this issue...

Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we join @ondp.bsky.social in demanding that intimate partner violence be declared an epidemic in Ontario. Read more: ontariondp.ca/news/ontario... #OnPoli #OnLab

This is on Doug Ford, and the numerous Ministers he has put on the Autism file, and that have failed families across Ontario. Children’s Aid is at a breaking point in Ontario - yet this government is preoccupied with beer and bike lanes in Toronto. #OnLab #OnPoli www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

With a spring ONTARIO prov election on the horizon, here are some facts we’d like to share: Under the Ford govt (as of June 2024) of the 73,031 kids registered for the ON autism pgm only 14,113 were actually accessing it. That’s after 6+ yrs of waiting for them to “get it right” #vote #50kIsNotOK

Yah, that’s a hard no. #OnLab #OnPoli

My heart is already grieving over the lives we will lose to the Ontario's government's deadly decision to close SCSs. No other parents should have to know our pain. #saveOnscs #onpoli

We are moving. So good to see a couple of my sisters join me under blue skies… Where is Annie?
