"We need the Ontario government on the job, fighting to protect the 500,000 jobs Ford says are imperilled. What we don’t need is a premier campaigning for his own job." Yup. thestar.com/politics/polit… #onpoli

Did you know Ontario Hospital Association CEOs and the Doug Ford Conservatives are intentionally understaffing public hospitals as they continue to funnel our public taxpayer money into private clinics? That's why we're demanding #NursingRatiosNow! #onlab #onpoli

VIDEO: Watch Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford saying today that he was "100%" happy that Donald Trump won the presidential election ... "but then the guy pulled out the knife and f--king yanked it into us." #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

It seems that Ford supported Trump because he thought he had something to gain by playing apprentice. He was never worried about protecting Ontario; he was just trying to benefit! We knew a Trump presidency would hurt Ontarians—his intentions were clear in November. #onpoli

Tune in to TVO's TVO Today | The Agenda at 8/11pm EST to catch JP Hornick on labour's role in the coming election: "Let's talk about policy, let's talk about why the Conservatives are more interested in shoring up one man's job, than dealing with the threat to 500,000." #OnPoli #OnLab

Anyone who says additional housing supply alone will improve affordability is choosing to ignore stories like this one. Why are they choosing to ignore these facts? Well, that is another story in itself. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Why we should talk taxes in this #onpoli election: #1 Ont raises less revenue relative to its GDP than most provinces #2 Ont raises less revenue than almost all provinces on a per capita basis #3 Income & sales taxes are rising as a share of revenue policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…

On housing, #onpoli has clear choices PCs & Libs: more support to private developers, little help to co-ops and non-profits, weak rent controls NDP & Greens: government-led housing development, support to co-ops and non-profits, strong rent controls policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…

New from @policyalternatives: In #Ontario, increased spending on private agency staff in hospitals is a poor use of #healthcare dollars. (In 2022/3 private agencies consumed 6% of labour costs but provided only 0.4% of frontline hours.) Report on how to change this: policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…
