Hallway healthcare is normalized in Ontario. It’s tragic. You don’t have to be a nurse, doctor, MPP or reporter to know. Patients and families experience it and witness it daily. The Ford government underfunds our hospitals and magically think it’ll go away. An affront to human dignity with poorer patient outcomes. @karenmccrimmon

The number of people suffering through hallway healthcare have INCREASED 50% since the Ford government took over in 2018. He said he’d make it better but he made it significantly worse!

It’s a sick joke that these Ministers are still using the phrase “Under Premier Ford’s leadership.”🙄 This is not leadership. It’s corrupt grifting. Since 2018.

We’ve completed the removal of bike lanes along 1.2 kilometres of Bloor Street West, restoring vehicle lanes in both directions.   Under Premier Ford’s leadership, we're fighting gridlock, supporting local businesses and getting drivers moving again.

The more important question is: What exactly are we getting for all that debt Ford is ringing up? Housing? Nope. Better health care? Nope. Better education? Nope. Then what?

Doug Ford plans to bury Ont under $600 BILLION of debt by 2030. He is planning to nearly double Ontario’s debt since taking office in 2018. This is the most fiscally IRRESPONSIBLE government.

#ONpoli Doug Ford blames a government from 8.5 years ago for his corruption in 2026!

Premier Doug Ford says Ontario needs private career colleges because the former Liberal government (which was in power eight years ago) "destroyed the health care system" and that -- the premier suggests is the "root cause" for why the PCs are reliant on the colleges. #onpoli

Is there one single person in the entire Conservative government that is paying attention to anything? 1000s of OSAP applications - fraud in the millions - one IP address!! Too bad our hospitals didn't apply for OSAP maybe they wouldn't have deficits?

Galen Weston wants Canadians to believe grocery giants have no control over prices. But higher markups at the big chains have cost consumers $18 billion since 2020. That's not just inflation—it's corporate profiteering. canadiandimension.com/articl…

Doug Ford is running another series of commercials (paid for by taxpayers) claiming he is making "life more affordable" with child benefits and tax cuts on gas WHILE Bethlenfalvy is scamming billions out the back door that we don't see. It is all a flim flam lie.

Billionaire who was literally caught controlling grocery prices claims he can not. He is also traumatized by his record profits... Sorry, I mean the "outrage" his record profits have created....

The vulnerable fill Ontario’s coffers with money they don’t have and can’t afford to lose. The Ford government destroys personal finances, fractures families, and devastates lives. Public safety is a casualty of provincial profit. By @DrGorfinkel thestar.com/opinion/contribu…
