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.”

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

Ford Tracker | The Ontario Federation of Labour

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...

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.

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?

Ford Tracker | The Ontario Federation of Labour

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?

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.⁠

Sudbury family had to send their autistic 8-year-old five hours away just to get her help. ‘We can’t do this by ourselves anymore’ The only place for the girl with complex needs was Mississauga, a 400-kilometre drive away, making it hard for the struggling parents to even visit.

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.

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”

Canada named second safest country in the world from violent crime According to a new report by Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection, Canada is the second safest country in the world in relation to violent crime.

Why is the #misinformation spreading that Canada is crime infested?

Because scared people vote for strongmen and they want the false narrative to be baked in before the election.

We need to counter this now before it’s baked in.
