If taxpayers are paying for the audit, taxpayers should be allowed to read the results.
The Ford government allowed hundreds of millions of public dollars to flow unchecked for years. Now, they’re refusing to release the findings of the very audit the public has paid for.
"Trust us" isn't good enough. Look where that trust got us. Stop hiding the truth. #onpoli

We are talking about $385 million lost to potential fraud under the watch of the Ford government. The people of Ontario deserve answers.
MPP Tyler Watt and I called on the Auditor General to investigate the oversight of OSAP spending at seven private career colleges. The Ford Conservatives voted it down.
The Auditor General needs to get involved now. #onpoli

Paul Calandra billed Ontarians $23,000 community BBQ, $5,700+ in hotels, $1,700+ in legislative dining, & $2,200 for strawberry pancakes as Calandra weaponized a $15 milkshake for political distraction from Ford & Lecce systemic underfunding of schools.

Watch. Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra stated that he doesn't know the exact cost of the government's current education advertising campaign which allegedly didn't protect eight school boards from the 8 supervisors Paul Calandra appointed.

🚨 #BREAKING: MPP @tylerwatt just exposed the real reason Doug Ford gutted OSAP.
Introducing Doug Ford's $1B OSAP scandal:
How Ford let one-fifth of Ontario's student grants go to just SEVEN private career colleges, ignored years of warnings, then cut grants for EVERY student.
We've asked the Auditor General for a full audit.

Doug Ford’s next billion dollar scandal.
Seven private career colleges received $385 million in OSAP grants in 2024-25, amid serious questions about suspicious activity and government oversight.
Now students across the entire post-secondary sector are paying the price for the government’s mismanagement.
The @OntLiberal party and I have asked the Auditor General to investigate.
It’s time to fix OSAP ASAP. #onpoli

🚨 A $3.9 BILLION education shortfall!
Yesterday, @InfoFAO released a report showing that the Ford government’s education funding plan doesn’t even keep pace with the cost of maintaining current services.
Education spending would need to grow by 2.1% a year just to maintain current service levels.
The Ford government is planning just 0.6%, the slowest three-year growth rate since the Harris government.
That adds up to a $3.9 billion shortfall over the next three years.
Students and education workers deserve FAR better.

Time for a forensic audit. Who was Ford's cabinet ministers "entertaining" in meetings across 2024 & 2025 as they spent $354K on throwing axes, oysters, luxury beef dinners, bar tabs & golf paid by riding association funds that received "tax credits" given to political donors.👇

‘Silencing the people of Ontario’
Ontario MPPs, unable to perform a critical function of their jobs at Queen’s Park, are expressing frustration as the extended summer break at the provincial legislature drags on until late October.

The Ford government keeps talking about “historic” education funding.
The reality is that Ontario schools have been shortchanged by a cumulative $6.5 billion since 2018.
That’s what happens when funding fails to keep pace with inflation, while schools are asked to do more and more.
Students deserve better.

Doug Ford, who took a 4 month summer break last year, followed by a 3 month winter break, then another 5 month summer break this year, announces a new school attendance policy for students. Tell us more about how attendance matters, Doug. 🧐

We’ve already reached the ridiculous point where teachers are expected to shop for their own classroom supplies.
But wait - it gets better.
They can’t even walk into Staples and get the cheaper deals. They have to use the Ford government’s mandatory portal and pay more.
Teachers shop. Taxpayers pay. Staples wins. 🙃 #onpoli #onted
Ministry of education teacher portal price on left, in-store Staples price on right. Make it make sense. #OntEd
