An email went out: an ER in Northwestern Ontario would close during the wildfire crisis unless a doctor could get there. Dr. @ShamjiAdil went north and worked a 30+ hour shift to help keep it open. He came back with a firsthand look at what Northern Ontario’s healthcare workers and patients are up against every day. #onpoli

@Garnet_2203 Ford & Alberta’s Smith are beyond hope. Privatization + a two-tiered health system is their end game. I’d like to know what Carney & the federal health minister (whoever that is) are doing about it. What’s the point of a Canada Health Act if the feds just look the other way?

Doug Ford is destroying our public health-care system on purpose. He must be stopped. Countries with a greater reliance on private health care generally spend more, not less, and too often leave people paying more out of pocket. Protect public health care before it’s too late.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

ICYMI: Progress Toronto filed an Integrity Commissioner complaint against Brad Bradford over undeclared conflict of interest. Brad voted to cut development charges while his spouse holds a senior role at developer set to receive a multi-million benefit. progresstoronto.ca/media-release-…

Would you board a plane if the Pilot’s competency standards were “Pending”? Why should Ontario families trust the biggest purchase of their lives, a new home, to a system where key competency standards for construction supervisors remain unimplemented? Ontario doesn’t just need more homes, it needs homes built right! @stcrawford2 @fordnation #ONpoli @OntarioHBA @housingON @ONmunicipal @OntarioNDP @OntLiberal @TorontoStar

Let’s be clear about the democratic record on Billy Bishop expansion: Nearly 87,000 people participated in the consultation. Eighty-seven per cent opposed expansion. Today, Toronto City Council voted almost unanimously to demand the return of parkland taken by the Province to facilitate it. Public participation and representative democracy are pointing in the same direction. The Province needs to accept the outcome, lick its wounds, return the parkland and move on.

Mayor Olivia Chow's motion to demand Doug Ford give the city back the land the province took for island airport expansion CARRIES 25-1.

Ford government decides Ontaians do not have the right to know what is being cut from our hospitals. Ford has demanded a 3 year plan for cuts but refuses a freedom of information request to know what is being cut. What is this government hiding? Under Ford: 🔻38 emergency rooms face permanent or temporary closures, 🔻 Emergency wait times are up 67%, 🔻 2.5 million Ontarians do not have a family doctor #onthealth #onpoli

700 tons of explosives. Israel detonated 700 tons of explosives beneath Beaufort Castle in South Lebanon, in the middle of the night. A 900-year-old Crusader castle that UNESCO just listed as endangered heritage.

I didn't delete the Shopify app when Tobi made his anti-democratic comments. I assumed he'd apologize. I deleted it when he tried to play the victim. I deleted it when Shopify's board circled the wagons, defended him, and tried to gaslight Canadians.

Gaza has no army, no air force, no navy, no tanks, no artillery, no missiles. Stop calling this a war.

Sounds like a plan

Can someone explain to me, like I'm 12 years old, why it's so hard to prosecute conservative party corruption?

What I find hilarious is Doug thought he was going to disappear on a 5 MONTH BREAK until Halloween, without being held accountable. Instead he’s faced an almost daily barrage of scathing scandals & explosive findings by reporters. And It looks good on him.

A study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found Ontario's iGaming expansion drove a 198% increase in people seeking help because of their gambling. Among men aged 15 to 24, the increase was 317%. thetrillium.ca/opinion/opinio…

Too many lives are being destroyed by this scourge. I'd like to see policy proposals from the Ontario Liberal and NDP parties on how they would mitigate or limit the damage inflicted by this odious industry.

BOOM: WAKE UP PEOPLE: James Talarico stood before Texas and said the quiet part out loud: Trans people are 1%, undocumented people are 1%, Muslims are 1%—we’re focused on the wrong 1%. Billionaires and their puppet politicians pick our pockets while dividing us. Texas is listening and rallying. Dr. King wasn’t un-alived just for being Black—he was un-alived for uniting poor people of every color against the same 1% that still thinks they own us. Our unity is the threat. Their division is the strategy. Texas just chose the facts.

NO ONE WANTS A DATA CENTRE NEAR THEM. Takes our water and now poisons it.

A massive data centre in Cambridge leaked an undisclosed chemical for days, possibly into local water, and the public still hasn’t been told what the chemical was. We’re expected to trust that everything is fine while the cleanup happens behind closed doors. These facilities

Enough with the secrecy - the government needs to be transparent about its process for allocating data centre permits. "The incident is also raising broader questions about environmental oversight as more AI-powered data centres are built across Ontario." #onpoli

BREAKING: One day after we asked for a special audit into Ontario's wildfire failures, the Auditor General confirmed a Wildland Fire Management audit is underway. Ontarians deserve to know if this government was ready — and why the warnings never reached the communities that needed them. #onpoli
