Ontario born and raised liberal farm boy. Nurse who has worked in both US and Canadian systems. Trying to stop conservatives from destroying Canada.

Guelph, Ontario, Canada
All Ontarians and Canadians need to heed the words of @wendellpotter Our healthcare is at risk. @fordnation and @SylviaJonesMPP are planning to destroy our healthcare and make it unaffordable for everyone but their rich friends. Call your MPP.
Amid America's #COVID19 disaster, I must come clean about a lie I spread as a health insurance exec: We spent big $$ to push the idea that Canada's single-payer system was awful & the U.S. system much better. It was a lie & the nations' COVID responses prove it. The truth: (1/6)

THIS is blatant corruption by Premier Ford and his team. THIS alone is grounds for Ford to be fired by the Governor General. @GGCanada @LGOntario
ICYMI: Paul Godfrey alleged Premier Ford's office exerted "political leverage" over his son's company by promising it government funding while also seeking a favour from Postmedia, which the elder Godfrey used to run. Godfrey's full sworn declaration is here & @Thetrilliumca.

Many of us have been begging the @OPP_News and @rcmpgrcpolice to investigate @fordnation for years because he is blatantly crooked and corrupt. Will they now that there is proof of his quid pro quo ? Exchanging taxpayer funds for political favours is Trump style politics.

Three years ago, the Integrity Commissioner ruled @SteveClarkPC broke the law in the Greenbelt scandal. He should have been reprimanded by the Legislature, but never was. Today, I asked the Government to introduce the motion so that it finally happens. No one is above the law.

What I find interesting about this video is we don't see evidence of this Alberta flag anywhere. This is just more performative rage baiting by the separatists after a belligerent drunk gets tossed from a hockey game.

If you haven't checked the news this morning: Doug Ford's PCs used the Skills Development Fund to cash in a personal favour before the 2025 election, & an SDF recipient accused of fraud claims the government's lawsuit is a deliberate attempt to distract from their scandals.

A former Postmedia CEO alleges Doug Ford’s office used a government contract as leverage to get a pre-election letter published across Postmedia newspapers. That raises serious questions about how Ford’s government is using the power of his office to get what he wants. Ontarians deserve answers. #onpoli

Under Canadian law, NDAs are legally void if used to hide crimes or block police. While Ford’s Queen’s Park has faced heavy fire for overusing restrictive gag orders but they cannot legally stop the RCMP probe, OPP or whistleblowers. CC sec 149, 141, 122 & 425.1 #onpoli #cdnpoli

Drug Ford’s government makes students suffer and pay the price for his incompetence. Don’t forget he also spent tens of millions on ads to lie to you and tell you what a great job he is doing.

Let's get the timeline clear here: 1. Career Colleges Ontario warns the Ford government about suspicious OSAP activity in January 2023. Ford lets private career colleges abuse the system for years. 2. Earlier this summer, we learn that just seven private career colleges received $385M in grants, the same amount as all public colleges in Ontario combined. 3. Instead of holding bad actors accountable, Ford punishes all students who rely on OSAP. Young people are already struggling to get by in an economy stacked against them. Doug Ford needs to reverse these OSAP cuts, take accountability for his own mismanagement, and hold the bad actors responsible instead of punishing all students.

Canada - this is Dr. Paul Parks in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Alberta is a great, foundational province in this nation. But the struggle for average Albertans has never been more serious. Two-tier medicine is a grave threat to Albertans - and Canadians. Follow Dr. Parks. @PfParks
Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

Disgraced Guelph Police Constable Corey McArthur hasn't worn a Uniform in 7 YEARS. But has collected over $800,000.00 in salary none the less. Imagine being suspended from work AND getting 800K!! youtu.be/JjOsI6c6klk?si=gEd0…

Ford took a 4 month summer break in 2025, followed by a 3 month winter break in 2025/2026. Then sat for only 29 days in 2026. Now he’s nearing the end of a 5 month summer break facing scandal upon scandal. How long will he last before he goes on winter break?

While Hamilton Health Sciences is firing staff and going into debt @fordnation wasted 122 million dollars on ads to tell you what a good job he was doing and wanted to buy himself a 30 million dollar plane. Elections have consequences. Ontarians need to vote in province elections
Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is cutting 413 jobs, including 143 nurses, to help offset a projected $150 million budget deficit for 2026-27, which reflects a refined estimate of their financial position. chch.com/chch-news/hhs-to-cu…

Ford spent 122 million dollars of our money on these ads last year. And Hamilton Health Sciences had to layoff 413 employees. Think about that.

How Doug Ford's government works: 1) Monte McNaughton starts Skills Development Fund 2) Wife gets millions from SDF 3) Monte quits and Piccini takes over SDF 4) Wife moves to Career Colleges Ontario 5) Piccini's wife becomes lobbyist for CCO 6) CCO members get millions from SDF

Doug Ford just broke OSAP again. Today, Nolan Quinn pulled OSAP from every private career college student in Ontario and told them to turn to private lenders. The government was warned about this problem in 2023. Quinn knew. He failed to act, and for that, he should resign. Nearly four years later, the issue is finally being referred to the OPP. Instead of going after the bad actors, Doug Ford is now forcing thousands of students who played by the rules to pay for his mistake. That means thousands of well-meaning PSWs, early childhood educators, and dental hygienists who no longer have access to OSAP will have to go into debt or drop their studies. Once again, Doug Ford is taking a hatchet to a problem that needed a scalpel. πŸͺ“ #onpoli

Doug Ford doesn't even pretend to care about transparency. Fake press conferences, a five-month summer vacation to dodge questions, and even changing the law to hide his personal phone records. This is a Premier who thinks he's above accountability. He doesn't think he should have to answer to anyone; not the media, not the opposition, and certainly not Ontarians. It's long past time that Doug Ford remembered that he works for the people of Ontario β€” not the other way around. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Watch. Doug Ford blocked a court order to release his cell records by removing all gov FOI requests. Ford's Chief of Staff Patrick Sackville traded in a personal cell phone containing gov records, the phone was "reset" and the gov records were missing.
