Doug Ford says he’s “tough on crime.” But after 8 years, Ontario’s justice system is overcrowded, understaffed, and falling behind. ➡️ Inmates mistakenly released and still missing ➡️ Jails operating far over capacity ➡️ Court delays caused by judge shortages ➡️ Violent offenders seeing sentences thrown out because the system is overwhelmed Instead of fixing the root causes of crime and doing its job, the province points fingers and blames the federal government while communities are left feeling less safe. Ontarians deserve safer communities and a government willing to protect Ontario. #onpoli #crime

NEW: Ontario’s opposition party is calling on the Ford government to fire its newly-appointed school supervisor in Peel Region, after an email was mistakenly distributed identifying teachers at risk of layoffs. Watch the heated question period exchange here:

I brought forward a motion calling for the timely opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge to support Ontario’s manufacturing, auto, and agriculture sectors. Premier Ford was happy to accept an honorary degree from a university in Michigan, while Ontarians need leadership focused on jobs, trade, and economic growth. Today, the government had the chance to back Ontario workers and businesses by letting this motion move forward, but chose not to.

There used to be a time when Metrolinx was able to communicate clearly and openly. It built trust for transit riders, but over the last few years, that's changed. Transit riders are asking for something that's very simple. A system that's reliable, but one that's also honest with them when things go wrong. torontotoday.ca/local/transp…

Metrolinx has one job. Make the trains run on time. If they can’t do that, then something needs to change. When issues happen, communicate clearly, openly and transparently. #everycommuterinthegta
We have a multi-day disruption at the country's busiest transit hub with no immediate and no one from Metrolinx can find their way in front of a camera?

Thank you @DurhampostC for your story on the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation being nominated for Canada's Kindest Community! Some kind acts from Mississaugas of Scugog Island included: One winter evening, a college student noticed an elderly man shivering alone at a bus stop. She wrapped her scarf around his neck, bought him a hot cup of tea, and waited with him until his bus arrived. Read more: durhampost.ca/durham-has-one… #Scugog #MSIFN @cocacola_ca #Community
