Ontario buys used $28.9M private jet for Doug Ford: sources A senior official confirmed that the province this week took possession of a 2016 Bombardier Challenger 650 executive jet.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Ford's Gravy Plane

Ford spent $28.9M taxpayer dollars to buy a jet for his private use.

Wondering why he wants jets at Billy Bishop Airport?

It'll cost at least another $1 billion tax dollars so Ford can land his jet in downtown Toronto.

Ford government planning to appoint regional chairs, give them sweeping new powers | Globalnews.ca The same legislation will shrink the size of regional governments in both Niagara and Simcoe County, providing chairs their own version of strong mayor powers.

Democracy or dictatorship?

T̶r̶u̶m̶p̶, I mean Ford is:
▶️Gutting Freedom of Information so he can defy order to release his phone records
▶️Applying Bill 5 so he can break any law at Billy Bishop Airport
▶️Now, will appoint 8 Regional Chairs with powers to override Council

Don’t 'engage in divisive or contentious issues of any kind,' says provincial memo on graduation ceremonies | CBC News The memo, signed by Education Minister Paul Calandra and addressed to educators and school board staff, warns that failure by school boards to meet those expectations “poses a real risk to student wel...

Ford muzzles students.

Graduates who are priced out of college or university because of OSAP cuts will not be able to mention OSAP at their graduations.

Ford's Minister of Education threatens Boards where students make any political statements at their graduations.

Transparency watchdog blasts ‘shocking’ Ontario plan to hide premier cellphone records | Globalnews.ca New policy will retroactively block the release of communications from the premier, ministers, parliamentary assistants or their staff through access to information requests.

“If records about gov't business can be shielded from scrutiny simply because they sit in a minister's office, public accountability is eviscerated.”

Ontario’s Privacy Comm. is warning about Ford’s plan to weaken access to information.

What is Ford trying to hide?

🚨 BREAKING: Doug Ford just gutted the law that allows Ontarians to request information about his government's policies

These Freedom of Information requests helped uncover the Greenbelt scandal

The ability to request information is why the Ford gov't is under RCMP investigation right now.

Original OSC had terraces, bridges and a ravine setting that turned science into a spatial experience.
New Science Centre is a maze of spin and broken promises.

#ONpoli

Claim: old Science Centre roof posed immediate risk
Reality: engineers said roof needed to be repaired over 10 years

Claim: new Science Centre will be better
Reality: new Science Centre is half the size

Original OSC had 568,000 square feet of space.
New Science Centre has 280,000 square feet.

Ontario Science Centre’s new home is smaller, worse and probably pricier None of the Ford government’s main claims about this new facility at Ontario Place appear to be true

None of Ford's claims about the new Science Centre are true.

Claim: estimated cost of new Science Centre is $322 million
Reality: current estimate is $750 million

Even the Godfather of AI, one of the world's most prominent scientists, is furious about Ford's Science Centre lies.

Clients of lobby firms connected to premier, his nephew given tens of millions in training funds Groups represented by a lobbying firm owned by the premier’s campaign manager got more than $100 million in grant money, a Trillium analysis has found

Ford to students:
“it's not a God-given right to take taxpayers’ money,” ...

Unless you are my family dentist, you get $2M;
or a friend who owns a strip club, i'll give you $10M;
or you hire my campaign manager as a lobbyist, you'll get $100M.

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.

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

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.

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.

That means standing with people like Charlie Angus, calling out collaborators, and making it very clear to corporate Canada: siding with Trump will not be “good for business.”

Donald Trump put a U.S. flag over Canada on a map in the White House. That’s not “trolling.” It’s a threat.

Canada's sovereignty is not up for debate. We take this as seriously as Americans would—and we will fight back.

How do conservatives keep getting reelected? With our money.

They get tens of thousands of dollars from donors and give millions of our tax dollars in exchange.

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.

Ontario court rules Doug Ford must turn over personal phone records | Globalnews.ca An Ontario court says it is reasonable to conclude Premier Doug Ford uses his personal cellphone to communicate and that he should make those records public.

Doug Ford has fought transparency every step of the way with your hard-earned taxpayer dollars. If there was nothing to hide, why the secrecy?

The Ford government has been in power for seven and a half years.

How is Ontario doing? The numbers tell the story.

Two weeks ago, the Conservatives passed Bill 33 giving Ford's Minister the power to sell any school to anyone he wants.

Supervised boards could close schools, Ontario education minister says, but rural schools safe Boards under supervision have been asked to look at underused sites and report back, Ontario education minister says in a year-end interview.

On the Friday before Christmas, Ford's Minister of Education announces he will be closing and selling schools in boards where the real estate is most valuable—Toronto, Ottawa, & Dufferin-Peel.

On December 1st, Ford began cutting the sewage pipes to allow for raw sewage to discharge along Toronto’s lakeshore and beaches.

It’s a shocking abuse of power.

Families deserve clean, safe beaches—not sewage dumps to support a $2.2 billion taxpayer-funded megaspa at #OntarioPlace.

#ONpoli

Ford just fired the TDSB director.

He’s consolidating power over our children’s schools — not to improve them, but to privatize them.
