This is the playbook! "The conservative message machine is no accident it's psychological warfare by design"
Hey @fordnation, you could learn a lot from Premier Kinew. I wish he were our Premier!
Universal healthcare is who we are as Canadians. It’s one of the things that sets us a part from the U.S. and we should be proud of that. Let’s keep it strong and make sure it serves everyone, in every region. It’s our heritage, our legacy and something we should all be proud of.
Ontario ranks the lowest in Canada when it comes to per capita hospital spending. We'd need $4.4 billion more to catch up to the rest of Canada. We need more home care, rehabilitation, LTC and primary care. Ontario can't squeeze hospitals more. oha.com/Bulletins/FINA…
The Federal Government must first get it in writing, from @fordnation and the likes before giving them more health care $$, and line by line what and how it was spent. No $$ for private Healthcare at all.
Fireplace chat notwithstanding: @MarkJCarney please don’t give @fordnation more money so he can profit his private sector pals at the expense of access to public healthcare
While Damien Kurek was MP for BRC from 2019-2025 he did not introduce or pass any bills to benefit his riding and actually betrayed them after an election. Pierre has been a career politician for over 20 years and also accomplished nothing ! Vote wisely Battle River-Crowfoot.
A thread explaining Doug Ford’s debt, which would make any leftie politician blush. Yet the fiscal conservatives don’t seem to care. We’ve never spent more to get less.
THREAD: Ontario’s debt is about to blow past $500 billion—the highest in provincial history. Doug Ford promised to balance the books. So why is debt exploding even as he’s cutting hospitals and schools? 🧵Let’s break it down: #onpoli
“Squatting in Stornaway because he’s entitled to it like he’s entitled to get seat in Battleriver-Crowfoot so he can come back to Ottawa just to shit talk Carney? Canada is in a serious trade war! Poilievre’s time is over if it ever was!” #Cdnpoli #AB 🇨🇦 youtu.be/JnSszsMHhvk?si…

Maybe the federal government needs to take back and manage the health care portfolio until a deep dive into how and why underfunding occurred. Where the money went needs to be disclosed.

Hey @fordnation @RestaurantsCA! The unemployment rate for youth aged 15-24 in 🇨🇦 is currently 12.4% per Statistics Canada & it's 15.80% in ON per YCharts. Hire Canadian youth instead! To @fordnation: immigration is federal jurisdiction. Your responsibilities ⤵️. #ONpoli
"The berries' packaging stated they were a 'product of USA.' It's possible the strawberries were packaged in Canada, but the CFIA told CBC News it would be inappropriate to use a 'Made in Canada' or 'Prepared in Canada' claim if a product was only packaged here." #grocery #stores
Big grocers are branding many in-store food items with a maple leaf symbol and, at times, declarations such as 'Prepared in Canada,' or 'Made in Canada.' CBC News has found that sometimes the Canadian connection for the products is unclear. cbc.ca/news/business/…
"Food labelling expert Mary L'Abbé: "Six months into Buy Canadian movement, shoppers' patience for grocer errors is wearing thin. It's important to Canadians. Grocers have a responsibility...to interpret regulations correctly. Retailers have to step up & get their act together."

Ontario NDP leader says Doug Ford must respect First Nations right to refuse development Marit Stiles is touring the north, warning that #Bill5 strips environmental and #Indigenous protections, while derailing local development. New from @JonSThompson: ricochet.media/indigenous/ont…
And, Ontarians are stuck with Premier #DougFord until 2029. We sure wish we had a premier like @WabKinew. #ONpoli @fordnation #healthcare #doctors #nurses #hospitals #negligence
Wish you had a premier like Wab Kinew. I know I do. I'm stuck with Tim Houston. I guess it could be worse. I could be in Alberta with danny smith.

As of Thursday, humankind has used up more natural resources than can be renewed this year. The Earth’s natural systems cannot keep up with our demands. Time to rethink the way we produce & consume - making sustainable choices. #EarthOvershootDay
Excessive pay. "Details of Lindsay’s contract show he will receive a base salary of about $687,000/year with a performance-based bonus of up to 20%. It's not clear exactly what he would need to do in a year to unlock his entire bonus. If achieved, he would take home $823,879.20."
NEW: Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay will be eligible for a six-figure performance bonus every year, on top of a base salary of roughly $687,000. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/11302674/…
