Ontario taxpayers paid for a 401 tunnel study in 2021. Ford refuses to release it. Now he’s handing a $9.1 million contract to a company that’s being sued by the City of Toronto. Doug Ford: ”We are the only party that's fiscally responsible." #ONpoli

Want millions in tax payer 💰 from the Skills Development Fund? Hire a lobbyist. Proportion of successful applicants using a lobbyist is up 60% Lobbyists include Labour Minister's wife, Doug Ford's Campaign Manager, Conservative Party President. #PaytoPlay #ONpoli

Doug Ford refuses to release a 2021 study for 401 tunnel that found a “potential for 401 roadway collapse” Now he’s spending another $9 Million of our 💰 on a do-over. #ONpoli globalnews.ca/news/1151529...

Ford gravy train stops at the strip club ▶️May 2021- Z. Starkovski hires Ford's Campaign Manager as a lobbyist ▶️March 2022- Conservative party paid Starkovski $31,947 for hosting fundraisers #ONpoli #Strippergate

Ford's gravy train stops at a strip club. $10 million of Skills Development Fund went to the owner of a strip club. Women refused to work and walked out because they were expected to wear fishnets and g-strings. This is where Ford is spending our tax dollars. #ONpoli

Another family stop on Ford's gravy train. Ford's campaign manager Kory Teneycke's sister in law scores $2.2 million in taxpayer funds to produce ads. Creative Currency has also been paid over $4.8 million since 2022 by the Ford Conservative Party. #ONpoli #FirePiccini

Accountability on Ford's gravy train? ▶️55 recipients that failed to achieve goals ▶️13 recipients that failed to report outcomes Received even more slush fund grants in later rounds of the Skills Development Fund. #ONpoli #firePiccini

The family rides on the gravy train. Conservative Labour Minister's wife hired to lobby for private colleges who received $900,000 from the latest round of the Skills Development Fund. 🚨 Piccini is still in charge of distributing another $260 million tax dollars!? #ONpoli

Ford's gravy train is a circular economy. Donate to the Conservatives, receive taxpayer money. ▶️FGF brands Donated $34k Received $1.25 million Tax Dollars ROI 3,806% ▶️Ontario shipyards Donated $18k Received $26 million Tax Dollars ROI 75,000% #ONpoli #GravyTrain globalnews.ca/news/1149929...

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

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...

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

Listen: Did he or didn't he pay for the hockey tickets? What do you think? Ford's Minister attended Leafs game with lobbyist who then receives $7.5 million from Skills Development Slush Fund. #ONpoli

Today's stop on the Ford gravy train: Ford's Minister tipped off donor about the #Greenbelt sell-off at fundraiser just before 2022 election. #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...

Ford's gravy train Company that failed to deliver medication to elderly and palliative patients received $18 million from the Skills Development Slush Fund. When taxes and contracts are given to Conservative donors—patients are left in pain. #ONpoli #OntHealth globalnews.ca/news/1148152...

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

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

Some people go to Paris for love. Others go for lobbyists whose clients got millions from their government. #ONpoli

We’re watching the dismantling of our democracy by Ford’s Conservatives in real time. A poll released yesterday found that a majority of Ontario parents support keeping their trustees. Ford needs to listen to parents and stop this madness. #ONpoli #OntEd

🚨Ontario’s Auditor General says Ford’s Skills Development Fund process was “not fair, transparent or accountable.” 800,000 Ontarians are looking for jobs—and Ford has turned the Skills Development Fund into a personal slush fund. #ONpoli

Ford says: "I’m tough on crime and a prudent fiscal manager.” Reality: 🚨273,000 traffic offenses withdrawn because of staff shortage in Ontario courts 💰$9.3 million tax dollars given to Ford's friend to train staff at the friend's nightclub #ONpoli www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

▶️Disruptive classroom shuffles ▶️Increase in class sizes ▶️Fewer supports for special needs students Decisions are being made by a Ford appointed supervisor working out of his law office. Ford's takeover of school boards leave parents with no advocate. #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/stu...

Ford's TDSB supervisor is responsible for responding to 240,000 students at 584 schools. Without elected trustees, parents & students have no voice. The seizure of our school boards is a real estate scam. Once Ford has control, he'll start selling our schools. toronto.citynews.ca/video/2025/0...

💰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 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...

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

Ford's gravy train ▶️Pace Law Donate $28,000 Receive $3.3M ▶️King animal hospital Donate $80,000 Receive $1.3M ▶️FGF Brands Donate $66,000 Receive $1.2M Ford is using the $2.5 billion Jobs Training Fund as a personal slush fund Auditor General is investigating www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

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...

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: Scale hospitality owners donated $10,000 to the PCs & received $17million tax $ to train their restaurant workers "despite its application being submitted late & scored low" Meanwhile, Ford cut $2billion from our public colleges and universities. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/poli...

Ford's gravy train... instead of using tax dollars to upskill workers, he's funneling money to PC donors. The Auditor General is now investigating the $2.5 billion Skills Development Fund. #ONpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

Doug Ford, stop blaming young people for your failures. Young people are looking for jobs. Your government isn't creating them. Ontario lost 26,000 jobs in August and has Canada’s 2nd highest unemployment rate. Youth unemployment is at 16.5% #ONpoli

Being a nurse is one of the most dangerous professions in the province—but it doesn’t have to be. The evidence is clear. Safe nurse-to-patient staff ratios improve care and retain nurses. We need to legislate safe staffing ratios in Ontario now. #ONpoli

When there is economic instability, people like to blame the vulnerable. This is the lesson of history. Our community is stronger when we protect each other. Let's unite to fight racism! www.torontotoday.ca/local/commun...

They say if you tell a lie once, it's a lie, and if you tell a lie a thousand times, it becomes the truth. Ford's Conservatives are forcing school boards to make funding cuts to our kids' education. We need to stand up for their future and for our elected trustees. #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...

As a mother and Torontonian, my heart was broken by the news of JahVai’s death and today I added my voice to those calling for stronger legislation on gun violence. @chrisgloverndp.bsky.social‬

#ProtectWasaga Thin edge of the wedge! Ford is starting with the sale of Wasaga Beach, then giving himself the power to sell off other Provincial Parks. #ProtectProvincialParks 10 million people visit Ontario Provincial Parks each year. Let’s protect them for future generations!

Ford had the chance to do this (but voted no) with the OntarioNDP's Choose Ontario, Strengthen Ontario motion which would have required grocery stores label products as "Made in Ontario" or "Imported from the U.S.". Now he's changing his mind? #ONpoli toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/14/o...

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

Why did Ford hide his 401 tunnel study back in 2021? The study showed: ➡️ A risk of road collapse ➡️Traffic nightmare during construction ➡️ It wouldn’t relieve traffic congestion #ONpoli

🚨60% of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park's Beachfront lands is at risk. The Ford government is proposing to amend the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act to remove this land from Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. #ONpoli

A big win for Toronto! A judge has ruled Doug Ford’s attempt to rip out bike lanes unconstitutional. The courts just confirmed what we already knew: communities deserve safer streets — not dangerous interference. #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/...

Over 650,000 Palestinian children under the age of 5 are at risk of dying from starvation due to Israel’s ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid. The Government of Canada must urgently call on Israel to end the starvation, lift the blockade, and allow the immediate and safe release of life-saving aid.

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...
