Ontario Liberal Party candidate for Milton. Indie's dad, Brenna's husband, Director, Conservation Halton Foundation Board, Constituency Manager, Charles Sousa.
Doug Ford is spending more of your money than any past premier ever has, but he isn't spending it in the areas that matter.
Our healthcare, education, and public transit systems need real investment and they need them now.
Doug Ford may see himself as a decisive fiscal conservative. His record paints a different picture.
Every incident of policy reversal is an opportunity to see the merit of consultation and planning, but his government never seems to do so.
#StarEditorial
In 40 sitting days, the PCs rose 272 times to ask about the Carbon Tax. They rose just 2x to ask about healthcare and 2x to ask about the environment. Doug Ford doesn't care about you. He cares about taking care of his wealthy insider friends and picking fights with the feds.
Ontario Liberal Party | Parti Libéral de l'Ontario
Faced with record emergency room closures and more than two million Ontario families without a family doctor, the Ford Conservatives have chosen to cut healthcare spending in the budget.
The sad reality is Doug Ford has no intention of making life better for families.
#onpoli
@jillpromoli
@GalenNHarris
On CBC just now: Ontario conservation authorities say the provincial government has cut their funding for flood management programs in half.
After the worst years of healthcare system performance in our province’s history,
@fordnation
chose to increase health funding by only 0.59%.
After getting a $2B Canada Health Transfer top-up, this budget only spends a quarter of that.
Where’s the rest of it?

Today's the day, Milton!
I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to hear from so many of you about the issues you care about. You deserve a voice in Queen's Park and if tonight goes my way I'll make sure you have one
Fingers crossed for tonight. I can't wait to get to
Our healthcare and education sectors are in crisis, but Doug Ford is focused on alcohol AGAIN. $225m in taxpayer money flowing in the wrong direction yet again. Shame.
BREAKING: The Ford government is spending $225 million to speed up the implementation of beer and wine in corner stores.
After Sept 5, all convenience stores province-wide will be able to sell beer and wine.
After Oct 31, all grocery stores will be able to opt-in.

I am humbled to have the support of Member of Parliament Adam van Koeverden.
“Nobody has been more consistently engaged in our community than Galen Naidoo Harris.
Doug Ford does not deserve a representative in Milton — he and his former MPP have ignored our needs for too long.”
Thank you so much, Milton.
It's been a whirlwind of a month and, even 48 hours after the polls have closed, I feel myself welling up with emotion.
The primary emotion Thursday night and the primary emotion now is gratitude.
I'm grateful to the incredible leader of the Ontario
And then what happened? This guy has doubled staffing costs for the premier's office and dropped the largest budget in Ontario's history without investing in affordability, healthcare, or education.
Doug never cared about you. He only cares about his wealthy insider friends.
They call this the sunshine list, but for hard-working people of Ontario, there is nothing sunny about it. Liberals insiders and fat cats are getting raises while real folks in Ontario haven’t gotten a raise in years.

This is just classic Doug Ford
✅ Only move on an issue when it's in his own self-interest
✅ Under invest
✅ Blame the feds
✅ Try to take all the credit.

Cancelling school two weeks without any effort to make the schools safer, then sending students and educators back an even less safe environment than before? Makes perfect sense.
Thanks
@TheFrankDomenic
! So nice to meet you today. I really appreciate the support! I'm going to do everything I can to flip this riding progressive and send Doug Ford a strong message this Thursday.
SIX-THOUSAND DOLLARS PER CHEQUE!?
Ford can find money for self-promotion no problem, but when our schools, hospitals, and cost-of-living are underwater, there's not a penny to be found.
Make it make sense.
Another Ontario government promo: We found the giant cheques used to promote Building Faster Fund cost a less eye-catching $6,372.24 to print and to ship.
By comparison, each Hwy 413 sign that was replaced cost around $16,000.

So we've now reached the point where Doug Ford and his government are wasting our tax dollars in the vain hope of convincing us that they aren't wasting our tax dollars.
Ontario awarded nearly $1 million in contracts to various companies to write a business case on moving the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place on Toronto's waterfront, The Canadian Press has learned.
Thanks to Minister
@AnitaOakville
for procuring my dose.
Thanks to
@VaxHuntersCan
for letting me know where it was and that it would go to waste if no one arrived to receive it.
But most of all, thanks to Josleyn for administering it and thanks to all of our frontline workers.
Thank you,
@GalenNHarris
, for representing Ontario’s Liberals in Milton. Your drive to help Ontarians and their families is unmatched, and we look forward to continuing our work together.
@Travisdhanraj
Spoiler.
What will work: all the advice the Ford government has deliberately ignored
What won't work: literally every one of their new measures from last Friday
It’s clear Doug Ford has no intention of stopping the Campbellville Quarry, and is instead more interested in looking out for his rich friends who stand to benefit from bulldozing our greenspaces.
@GalenNHarris
will be Milton’s local champion.

You're right, voters want a responsible Ontario government that works to help them get ahead and they're not getting that with Doug Ford.
If elected I'll fight every day to hold him accountable.
I’m knocking at doors to elect
@GalenNHarris
as the next MPP for Milton. Residents here tell me they’re sick of Doug Ford wasting tax dollars on Highway 413 & an Ontario Place spa. They want Queen’s Park to focus on priorities like education, healthcare & housing affordability.
So nice to have
@BonnieCrombie
out to knock some doors and hear from folks in Milton today!
Local families have been clear that they want someone in office who will tackle the affordability crisis and make needed investments in healthcare, education, and the environment.
Another example of Doug Ford taking care of his insider friends while the rest of us continue to struggle.
If you're in Milton, join me in sending him a strong message that this isn't okay on election day- Thursday May 2nd.

Doug Ford doesn't deserve to have another MPP elected here in Milton.

Voting is on until 6pm today at the Milton Mall and from 9-9 in your neighbourhood tomorrow.
Doug Ford needs to get serious about addressing the housing crisis.
Ontario Liberals are builders.

All while Doug Ford is flushing taxpayer money down the drain to build the 413 and open a spa at Ontario Place to the benefit of his insider friends.
