The RCMP needs to investigate Doug Ford and the Ontario Conservatives.

Nepotism at its finest.

Addressing the primary care crisis means diving deeper into the issues. For the expansion of primary care teams to be a success, we need to ensure we retain and recruit the family physicians and NPs needed for those teams to be sustainable.

There are tangible solutions to our health care crisis - if we invest wisely in our public healthcare system we can:

✅ reduce wait-times
✅ eliminate hallway healthcare
✅ improve primary care access
✅ ensure that patients get the right care at the right time

The Conservatives have failed to address the housing crisis. We need to get the government back to building affordable housing. We need rent control and protections for tenants. We need an Ontario NDP government.

The drastic cuts to hospital budgets imposed by the Conservative government are putting hospitals in an impossible position: cut jobs or cut services. A strong healthcare system means a healthier population and a stronger economy.

Housing is a provincial responsibility! If the political will was there, we could end chronic homelessness.

We know the solutions needed, we just need a government that will step up and implement them.

Reality check: Did Trudeau and Carney's immigration cuts make housing cheaper? Here's what actually happened — Toronto Star The immigration minister said Canada is seeing positive impacts and rents are trending down. But experts and some data point to other factors.

Echoing the report’s findings, Cukier said changes in housing prices cannot be explained by immigration trends alone, warning that this narrative contributes to misinformation and anti-immigrant sentiment.

The Orality Theory of Everything The decline of reading and the rise of social media are again transforming what it feels like to be a thinking person.

Literacy literally restructured our consciousness, and the demise of literate culture—the decline of reading and the rise of social media—is again transforming what it feels like to be a thinking person.

When I speak with friends we’re not asking for highway tunnels. We’re asking why it takes 1 hour to get to Toronto from Toronto. The parents I know aren't discussing the need for another spa; they're wondering why their kids' classrooms are overcrowded

Ontario's school board takeovers are weakening anti-racism fight, Black trustees say | CBC News The Black Trustees' Caucus, part of the Ontario Public School Boards' Association, sent Premier Doug Ford an open letter Tuesday raising concerns that moves in some of the supervised boards are hurtin...

At the supervised public boards, at least 10 Black trustees have been removed or sidelined and they have historically played an important role in monitoring race-based disparities and reviewing systemic discrimination, King added.

We need our elected trustees back—people who elected to serve students and parents—not a Minister of Education with no education experience brought in to privatize the system.

Why has the TDSB supervisor rescinded a class size cap? Trustees voted last March to cap class sizes in grades 4 to 8 at a maximum of 32 students. The TDSB’s supervisor rescinded that directive

Ford gave his Minister of Education, Paul Calandra, total control of the 600 TDSB schools and the education of 240,000 students.

Calandra just eliminated the maximum class cap of 32 students in Middle schools.

Get Ontario Building with Homes Ontario A bold plan to treat housing as essential infrastructure—and build a stronger, more affordable future for all.

To build housing, we need a government that:
▶️ builds not-for-profit housing
▶️ that leverages the value of public land to reduce costs
▶️ that partners with existing Co-ops to expand

ontariondp.ca/homes-ontario

Doug Ford’s housing plan:
▶️ Paving the Greenbelt
▶️ MZO's to insiders
▶️ Strong Mayor powers
▶️ Attacking Conservation Authorities

Great for making Ford's friends rich, but doesn't build housing.

P3s are just a pipeline for taxpayer dollars to be siphoned off to private corporations all while delivering unreliable service to the public.

Eglinton Crosstown LRT to open Sunday with reduced service, muted celebrations: ‘It’s too soon for a party’ Mandeep Lali said the Eglinton Crosstown LRT will open Sunday at reduced speeds and hours of operation.

15 years, $7.7 billion over budget, and devastating closures to over 300 small businesses.

That is the history of this public-private partnership—otherwise known as a P3 project.

Hallway health care metric one of several 'to be retired' from health agency’s public report The metric was not included in the latest Ontario Health annual report, with one emergency physician calling it ‘utter malpractice’ to not release the data publicly

Removing the hallway healthcare metric from Ontario Health’s public report doesn’t make the problem go away—it hides it.

In 2024, an average of 1,390 patients a day were treated in hallways because of lack of beds.

Now Ford wants to stop reporting on it

Don’t be fooled by Ford’s college and university funding announcement.

He’s just continuing to download more costs and debt on to students for the most grossly underfunded system in Canada.
