NEW: Professors say new legislation from Premier Doug Ford's government amounts to “political interference” with the independence of universities.

Exactly. We aren't demanding radical changes. We are expecting reasonable protections in Ontario schools. Clean air is a reasonable expectation.

“The Ford govt is starving public hospitals and vastly shifting resources for private, for-profit clinics where we see the most extra billing and manipulative upselling of patients.” - Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition

Mike Crawley iGaming Ontario Gambling addiction has one of the highest suicide rates.

Considering the harm casinos are causing and the staggering revenues they should be forced to fund access for addiction treatment.

And for crying out loud, stop the constant ads on radio and TV!!

Going to amplify this for all my MD colleagues out there.

Some good moves in healthcare in .

And while many MDs make a good living, for those incorporated MDs who don't (looking at family physicians in particular) there's some pretty bad news in this years budget…

Operating rooms in public hospitals across the province are sitting empty or underused - meanwhile, Doug Ford is increasing funding to private clinics by over 200%.

The Premier is tearing apart public care so private companies can get rich.

We must defend public care.

The reasons why they don't have access are varied. An individual child's chances can be scuttled by family dynamics, skeptical pediatricians, lack of local gender clinics, or multi-year waitlists.

The vast, vast majority of trans youth have not had puberty blockers available early enough in puberty for them to make a difference.

The vast majority don't have any hope of hormone therapy before they reach adulthood.

Something that I think is too nuanced for almost everyone in this gender-affirming care discussion is that what's being lost, more than anything, is the hope for treatment among a cohort of young trans people.

Due to his own mismanagement and indecision, Doug Ford just effectively raised development charges in the middle of a housing crisis.

Listen to him rail against exactly that just a year and a half ago and decide if this is who you want leading Ontario on housing👇

The Ford government will never reach its housing targets.

If they say they will—stop believing them.

All they are capable of are flip-flops, walk-backs, and reversals.

They are quite literally too incompetent not to create chaos in the housing sector.

I’ve frequently seen people say, “My God! How can those MAGA nuts believe all of the bullshit stuff Trump says?!”

Forget all about that question. It’s irrelevant.

I would argue that many of these MAGA followers (though they’d never admit it) do not believe his “stolen”…

Would any person in PEI who recieves disability support from the province care to share the amount that they recieve monthly?
The government has cleverly hidden access to information.
This needs to be brought to attention in the public.
Thank you! poli
