Ford said he'd move heaven & earth to do what was right, to help these people. "But since that day, anger about Ford’s handling of COVID-19 in long-term care has snowballed. Of the 4,188 lives lost to COVID-19 in Ontario as of late December, 2,537 lived in long-term care." #onpoli

Ontario’s vaccine rollout is a mess. ICU numbers are rising daily. Surgeries are canceled. People are dying. The lockdown is a mockdown again. Ford refuses to provide paid sick days to support workers. And the man who calls himself a nation says we’re doing pretty well. #onpoli

Don't be fooled. Creating a two-tier health care system is not protecting public health care. Huge profits for private insurance will drive up cost & decrease accountability. #ontpoli #cdnpoli

No one is asking that vaccines be mandatory. But it is reasonable to make vaccines a requirement for health care workers. Your choice, no vaccine? Don’t expect to work in health care. #onpoli #FordfailedOntario

Here is Premier Ford on why he won’t make vaccines mandatory for health-care workers: “I think it’s their constitutional right to take it or not take it.” #onpoli

The Premier of the province is promoting a private company on the CPC propaganda station paid for by taxpayers. Where do the Conservatives draw the line? Who gets promoted and who doesn't? #onpoli #cdnpoli

@Mikeggibbs @Peleewinery Why is the Premier shilling for this company? Why is he telling us to buy this wine? How do other businesses get Premier and MPPs to give them free advertising too?

The covid deaths in Ontario’s LTC were avoidable - Some plain speaking from David Moscrop ”Anyone who came anywhere near this mess should quit or be dismissed, starting with Minister Fullerton and, quite frankly, Ford himself.” I fully agree. #onpoli

@fordnation Just resign my friend. You’re in over your head. Ontario deserves better leadership than you are capable of, especially during an out-of-control pandemic.

Ford PCs sue to block release of cabinet letters- “Mandate letters should be made public because they lay out the priorities of a government. But Doug Ford doesn’t want you to know what his priorities and plans are, because you won’t like them." #onpoli

Why did Premier Ford transfer this incompetent MPP instead of sending her to the back bench? Or better yet, ask for her resignation? #onpoli #cdnpoli

Ford government’s vaccine rollout “It’s reactive instead of proactive,” said Abells. “The biggest mistake is that we knew the vaccine was coming three to four months ago and three to four months ago they should’ve started to effect a plan.” #onpoli #covid

Don’t be fooled! 4 years ago Mr Scheer was part of the Harper government that added $150B to Canada’s debt. And since that time he has offered nothing except attacks on the Liberals and no plan to tackle Climate Change. Don’t be fooled. #cdnpoli

“When the NDP asks about the future of ambulance services, the premier replies by boasting about his “buck-a-beer” strategy, bemoans “illegal border-crossers,” and decries the “job-killing carbon tax.” Cue the standing ovation! #onpoli #cdnpoli

Andrew Scheer refuses to place restrictions on handguns even though research shows strict gun laws with bans reduce gun violence. He will make gun ownership easier & may strip the role of the RCMP in gun classification & give it to a partisan elected board. #cdnpoli
