Ontario’s childcare sector is already in a staffing crisis, and now Ford is freezing workers’ wages for 2027. Ontario is a wealthy province. Saying we can’t afford an extra $1 an hour for the people who care for our kids shows exactly where Doug Ford’s priorities lie. Greens are calling on Ford to reverse this move. It’s time to put care back at the centre of politics.

How do you talk about affordable childcare, expanding spaces and getting parents back to work, and then freeze the wages of the people caring for our children? The hypocrisy is exhausting. You cannot claim to value childcare while systematically undervaluing the workforce holding the entire system together #onpoli

#ONpoli Check this out: The private American-owned college "Niagara University" (based in Vaughan, with ties to Doug Ford's favourite developer and wedding guest) offers an MBA in Healthcare Management... and they host debates on Private Healthcare.

#ONpoli This is wild... the Ontario government cut off OSAP for 3 Academy of Learning locations in July 2026, and yet they were STILL ADVERTISING OSAP in October 2026!

#ONpoli Hey @MaritStiles @JohnFraserOS @tylerwatt - are Doug Ford and Nolan Quinn even enforcing their own OSAP ban???

The Ford Conservatives voted AGAINST an independent Auditor General investigation into the billion-dollar OSAP scandal. My colleague @LFairclo and the @OntLiberal put forward this motion to get answers about what happened to nearly a billion dollars in OSAP grants flowing to private career colleges. The Conservatives announced they would vote against it before even hearing the debate. Students deserve answers. Taxpayers deserve accountability. #onpoli Sign my petition: tylerwattmpp.ca/fix-osap-asa…

🚨 #BREAKING: Doug Ford’s PCs voted down an Ontario Liberal motion that would have required Ontario’s Auditor General to audit the OSAP scandal. The Auditor General works for Ontarians. KPMG works for @fordnation and @nolanmquinn. Ontario is witnessing a cover-up. #onpoli

Another bombshell on the billion dollar OSAP scandal. Over 8,300 OSAP applications came from just THREE IP addresses. The Ford government was warned as early as 2023 and received over 220 tips, complaints and referrals since January 2024. They had the warnings. They refused to act until Oct 2026. Now students are paying the price. We need a full forensic audit. cp24.com/politics/queens-par… #onpoli

Don't forget @fordnation is paying for ads out of the federal funds that is allocated to healthcare and education in Ontario.

Again, we easily pay enough to have top level infrastructure, healthcare, cheap or affordable post-secondary education but we elect governments who burn the money and we refuse to hold them accountable. Where is the money, @fordnation?
Under this government, Ontario has become the second most expensive place on earth to build subways on a per-km basis ... and the public is not allowed to see itemized bills that might clue us in on where the money is going. Literally, 10s of billions are unaccounted for.

Minister Quinn said he will not resign in Question Period. He got a standing ovation from Doug Ford’s Conservatives. I guess they support thousands of students having their OSAP ripped away and nearly a billion dollars in public funding being wasted amid allegations of fraud. So much for “respect for the taxpayer dollar”. #onpoli

"Can you explain why this member is getting a promotion after he ripped off the people of this province?" On the first day of the fall sitting, Premier Ford dodges questions about why Stan Cho, who resigned from cabinet this summer after charging taxpayers for local hotel stays, has been promoted to an education role with a $22K pay bump.

The Ford government's crimes have been absolutely unimpeded for over eight years now. They turned on the taps of the government coffers and let it flow into private pockets. They have written and passed democracy-ending legislation, with no media coverage or opposition.

The message we get from Stan Cho: - Spend tax money on luxuries ie. Hotels close to home. - Pay it back - Get demoted - Enjoy a few months off, answer no questions at QP - Get promoted! - Get raise for what you paid back! But those teachers...so spoiled! 🤨 #onted #onpoli
