NEW: The IESO, which manages the province's electricity grid, signed a contract with an American utility for power over the winter, despite the government's policies on shifting away from the US.
Critics say it undermines the Premier's buy Ontario / Canada plan.

Senior officials in a number of Ontario municipalities are pulling back the curtain on their working relationship with the Ford government, accusing it of employing a “divide and conquer” strategy and using municipalities as a political “shield." #onpoli

Hey Doug, remember back in March when you SEIZED Billy Bishop Airport without consultation and you said allowing jets was “just common sense and we’re going to get it done?” Well I guess it’s not common sense and you’re not gonna get it done after all.🤨

Zero justification but lots of blame for Toronto-area PC MPPs who billed taxpayers and party donors for hotel suites and expensive dinners.

Ontarians don’t get free hotel rooms to come to work. Why should Ford’s Ministers live on taxpayer dime?
NEW: A senior cabinet minister in the Ford gov’t billed taxpayers thousands of dollars for hotel rooms in downtown Toronto, despite living just a few kilometres away from Queen’s Park — public money that he’s now promising to partly pay back.

Ontario's NDP says the pace of upgrades to Highways 11 and 17 in Northern Ontario isn't moving fast enough, as the Ford government grows more politically sensitive to the safety issue on two of Ontario's longest highways.

Important piece by @LindaMcQuaig @TorontoStar harking back to privatization & the deaths in Walkerton : "[T]here’s a reason not to hand over aspects of these vital provincial responsibilities to private interests which are, above all, focused on making profits."

Ever since Walkerton fiasco left 7 dead, Ontario premiers have steered clear of water privatization – until now. #onpoli #canlab thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Ford fails again.
Auditor General reports Ford's failure to enforce child and spousal support payments has shorted Ontario families $2.1 billion. At this while struggling parents and their children are lined up at food banks.

“Doug Ford can’t blame what’s going on south of the border for this one. People were already struggling long before tariffs became his excuse for everything. Hydro bills were up. Housing costs were out of control. Groceries were already unaffordable.” - Catherine Fife #onpoli

Doug Ford mocked students for taking “basket-weaving courses” and blowing OSAP money on “luxury watches and colognes.”
A new report shows less than 1% of OSAP funds were misused.
Less. Than. 1%.
He invented a crisis to cut student aid – then pulled $30 million from people’s pockets to buy himself a luxury private jet.
I’ll keep fighting this government until the cuts to OSAP are reversed.
France Gélinas retweeted
When did Doug Ford start buying his $30 million luxury jet? January.
When did Ontarians find out? April.
For months, he was secretly taking millions from taxpayers. Does he have no respect for your money?
