From 2016: “if Ontario were to replace the Top 10 imported fruits and vegetables by growing them here instead, $250 million could be created for the economy producing 3,400 jobs.” - McMaster economics professor Atif Kubursi

🔥Headline story on @CHCHNews tonight: @MaritStiles —“We can use our provincial power to support this sector. ”
@USW1005 #HamOnt #NationalizeStelco
Earlier today, I wrote to Doug Ford, asking him to work with the Prime Minister on a plan for public ownership of Stelco. We don’t make this call lightly, but this is a unique moment in our history. One that demands bold, ambitious, and urgent action. We must put ideology aside and put Ontario workers first.
Ontario cannot stand on the sidelines while our industrial capacity is dismantled. Inaction has already resulted in hundreds of layoffs across the province. If we wait any longer, we don't just risk losing good-paying, unionized jobs, but also decades of expertise and industrial capacity.
The best time to act has passed. The second-best time is now. Doug Ford needs to put his money where his mouth is and protect good Ontario jobs.

Yet in Toronto, the Premier of the province is spending 48 million to destroy bike lanes.
I don’t ride a bike, but I know that 50 cyclists commuting take way less space on the road than 50 cars.

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com economist.com/international/…

“by most measures B.C. has enjoyed one of the most successful economies in Canada in recent years.”

.@jamiewestndp just ripped a strip off of Ford’s government.
We see these Protect Ontario ads, where is the protection of Ontario workers?
350 layoffs in #HamOnt at Stelco and 413 healthcare layoffs including over 100 nurses at Hamilton Health Sciences.

If we don’t have solid universal health care in every province including Ontario and Alberta and now lose the right to strike with Bill-39, what do we really have left ?
Oh wait, clean water and environmental protections are on the chopping block too.
@DonDavies
We need Marit’s surveillance pricing motion to prevent this gauging.
Wab Kinew passed it.
Ford voted it down.

Staples wins! A case of paper teachers could previously purchase for $49.85 is now $84.49 on the Staples portal. Duotangs were listed at 96 cents each, compared with 38 cents. A package of 20 notebooks was listed at $35.63, compared with $17.25.

Ford has “pretend” interviews in Ontario. When will he allow #HamOnt reporters to actually ask him about the Elfrida land grab?
This is #Ontario farmland he promised Hamilton city council would have the power to protect.
It is deplorable to see @fordnation choosing to do interviews on American networks while consistently ignoring Canadian journalists. Elected Canadian officials need to answer to the Canadian public. #DougFord represent Ontarians/Canadians, not American viewers.

We saw the same with the urban boundary expansion.
Ford promised to back off and yet he circled back with legislation to allow developers to expand parcel by parcel at the OLT, undermining the promise to let municipalities/ regions decide.
“For-profit services do nothing to address the major crisis in labour force supply, do nothing about public costs and do too little about public access to care. In fact, they do the reverse; they drain the public system of both people and money.” —Marjorie Cohen

The federal Liberals are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Promise progressive outcomes and then govern like PP.

“Canadian workers’ retirements are far more threatened by wildfires and war than they are by the risk of a slightly lower alpha (the excess return generated relative to the broader market).”
Canadian workers have accumulated $3 trillion in retirement savings, yet have almost no democratic say over how that money is invested.
Why are our pensions financing fossil expansion and foreign capital instead of a livable future? canadiandimension.com/articl…
🚨Doug Ford said the party with taxpayers' money was over. Then 20 of his MPPs billed Ontarians $121,409 for downtown Toronto hotels. One MPP lives 7 subway stops from Queen's Park.

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.
