NDP Leader Marit Stiles says Health Minister Sylvia Jones has been lying to Ontarians about a cancer patient’s denied U.S. treatment funding. “She lied to the people of Ontario when she said that this wasn’t the advice of experts.”

Hey Ontario? Our Corrupt Part-Time Premier @fordnation is NOT telling the truth. AGAIN. Shockers, I know🙄 #FORDOFTHELIES #DougFordIsMAGA #DOUGFORDISCORRUPT 👇
Doug Ford is a filthy liar!! There’s no Doctor shortage, he’s dictating the amount of patients Doctors and Specialists are allowed to see. Why is Doug Ford punishing Doctors and patients?

Shame on the Ontario Ministry of Health. If they messed up such an obvious idiotic decision you have to wonder about the management of additional consequential issues like hallway medicine and ER overcrowding - which right now is awful pre-flu season. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/m…

Dr. Hicks recorded this in clinic last night. Evenings, weekends, whatever it takes. The Ontario government calls that a red flag. Doctors are being warned for too many days worked and too many patients seen. #onpoli

Ontario’s childcare sector is already in a staffing crisis, and now Ford is freezing workers’ wages for 2027. Ontario is a wealthy province. Saying we can’t afford an extra $1 an hour for the people who care for our kids shows exactly where Doug Ford’s priorities lie. Greens are calling on Ford to reverse this move. It’s time to put care back at the centre of politics.

How do you talk about affordable childcare, expanding spaces and getting parents back to work, and then freeze the wages of the people caring for our children? The hypocrisy is exhausting. You cannot claim to value childcare while systematically undervaluing the workforce holding the entire system together #onpoli

#ONpoli Check this out: The private American-owned college "Niagara University" (based in Vaughan, with ties to Doug Ford's favourite developer and wedding guest) offers an MBA in Healthcare Management... and they host debates on Private Healthcare.

#ONpoli This is wild... the Ontario government cut off OSAP for 3 Academy of Learning locations in July 2026, and yet they were STILL ADVERTISING OSAP in October 2026!

The Ford Conservatives voted AGAINST an independent Auditor General investigation into the billion-dollar OSAP scandal. My colleague @LFairclo and the @OntLiberal put forward this motion to get answers about what happened to nearly a billion dollars in OSAP grants flowing to private career colleges. The Conservatives announced they would vote against it before even hearing the debate. Students deserve answers. Taxpayers deserve accountability. #onpoli Sign my petition: tylerwattmpp.ca/fix-osap-asa…

🚨 #BREAKING: Doug Ford’s PCs voted down an Ontario Liberal motion that would have required Ontario’s Auditor General to audit the OSAP scandal. The Auditor General works for Ontarians. KPMG works for @fordnation and @nolanmquinn. Ontario is witnessing a cover-up. #onpoli

Another bombshell on the billion dollar OSAP scandal. Over 8,300 OSAP applications came from just THREE IP addresses. The Ford government was warned as early as 2023 and received over 220 tips, complaints and referrals since January 2024. They had the warnings. They refused to act until Oct 2026. Now students are paying the price. We need a full forensic audit. cp24.com/politics/queens-par… #onpoli

Don't forget @fordnation is paying for ads out of the federal funds that is allocated to healthcare and education in Ontario.

Again, we easily pay enough to have top level infrastructure, healthcare, cheap or affordable post-secondary education but we elect governments who burn the money and we refuse to hold them accountable. Where is the money, @fordnation?
Under this government, Ontario has become the second most expensive place on earth to build subways on a per-km basis ... and the public is not allowed to see itemized bills that might clue us in on where the money is going. Literally, 10s of billions are unaccounted for.

Minister Quinn said he will not resign in Question Period. He got a standing ovation from Doug Ford’s Conservatives. I guess they support thousands of students having their OSAP ripped away and nearly a billion dollars in public funding being wasted amid allegations of fraud. So much for “respect for the taxpayer dollar”. #onpoli
