Doug Ford may see himself as a decisive fiscal conservative. His record paints a different picture.

Every incident of policy reversal is an opportunity to see the merit of consultation and planning, but his government never seems to do so. trib.al/kmsTjM4

Our data/findings at mindenpaper.com/hospital-fundi… can be used to help answer Ontario's question regarding its own recovery of 'colossal sums' spent on private agencies.

People: These were OUR tax dollars spent on 3x staff without anyone stopping it. Our hospitals are nearly bankrupt.

Gas prices are up $0.14 today, and I want to be clear - this is price gouging.

I have been saying for years that the oil companies are gouging us at the pumps - today, the Premier called the price raise 'disgusting' and that it is 'gouging the people'. 🧵

One of my favourite headlines of all-time. Thanks to all its flip-flops, by the time you write about the Ford government, the news has changed.

'The Ford government is making it very difficult for me to write op-eds about the Ford government.'

As Maya Angelou said, “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”

Sadly, this is not the first time Ms Martin has shown who she is. But now we can add apparel police to her resume

Here’s the letter NDP leader Marit Stiles sent to Speaker Arnott last week, requesting the keffiyeh ban be reconsidered and for it to be made “clear to everyone who works in and visits our provincial legislature that all cultures will be treated with equal respect.”

When the Ontario Energy Board said Enbridge Gas and developers should pay for new natural gas connections, the province's rebuke focused on housing costs. Internal documents show other priorities were at play via Fatima Syed / @fatimabsyed.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/ontario-energy…

If the government was truly worried about students facing distractions in schools, they would be making investments to address increased levels of violence, chronic staff shortages, and the mental health crisis, instead of dodging responsibility at every turn.

The Ford government is refusing to give the TDSB more money to help dig them out of a $26.5 million budget hole, accusing the board of mismanaging its budget. But the board claims it has been underfunded for years & is now facing major cuts. Full story: toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/04/…

NEW: The anatomy of a Ford government reversal.

The backtrack on the UP Express changes serves as an example of how the Ford government seems to operate.

Thank you to everyone who sent in petitions on Wilmot. The Ford gov't has limited our ability to bring our constituents' voices to Queen's Park. Democracy is inconvenient for Ford. Despite his barriers, we will continue to ensure your voices are heard!

Enough already Ontario PC Caucus. Softball questions of which today there were 10, were all on the carbon tax at the federal level. But I guess when you don’t have anything of substance to promote, grandstanding against something totally out of your control is considered useful?
