Hey Ontario! Stay tuned for details tomorrow… Our Government for the People will make an announcement about expanded retail hours for alcohol sales. #onpoli
I feel strangely comforted that Doug Ford isn't the only one who randomly cancels elections because the wrong people would win https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/13/communist-challenge-exposes-cracks-putins-power
#news #politics #russia #onpoliAn unexpected victory for an opposition candidate has panicked an unpopular government into cancelling the contest altogether
Doug Ford is getting rid of Drive Clean, one of the reasons that car companies were forced to improve emissions standards. We are going to get our own environmentally based Walkerton soon. People will get sick and die because of the ideology of one man. #DriveClean #onpoli
Received a note from my daughters school advising they found unacceptable levels of lead in the water.
School boards can't fix these infrastructure issues alone. We need provincial leadership & funding. @LisaThompsonMPP

If you’re the parent who reports a teacher for making sure students know about consent, cyber bullying & LGBTQ people, you’re a parent who is purposefully leaving your kid & others in the dark about something that could literally save their lives.

Ford says his campaign never promised to keep the basic income pilot (the Star and CBC report that they did), Ford says his campaign said it would review the program. Here’s some background on that story https://ipolitics.ca/2018/08/02/ford-government-says-breaking-a-promise-on-the-basic-income-program-is-fake-news/ #onpoli https://ipolitics.ca/2018/08/02/ford-government-says-breaking-a-promise-on-the-basic-income-program-is-fake-news/
The new government has decreed that this fall students will learn the 1998 sex-education curriculum, predating Google, same-sex marriage, and high-speed Internet. A revamped lesson plan will come after further consultation. #onpoliThe old curriculum dates to 1998 while the modernized lesson plan covers areas such as same-sex relationships, gender identity, cyberbullying, and the dangers of sexting.
First-Past-the-Post isn't a problem because Doug Ford won the election. It's a problem because one party received 100% power from just 40% of the vote.
The Liberals winning in 2014 with less than 39% was a problem. The NDP winning in 1990 with less than 38% was a problem. #onpoli
Don't be fooled by Doug Ford and his cronies. #onpoli #canlab #DougFord #FordNation #healthcare
