The Ford Conservatives are delivering worse services at a higher cost with questionable ethics.

Are they so incompetent? Or is this by design?

Either way Ontarians are getting a bad deal.

Solidarity with local Ontario Nurses' Association members on their information picket in Parkdale.

For-profit long-term care homes are putting profit over care by keeping staffing levels low. Not only does this jeopardize resident care, it leaves workers burnt out. #CareNotProfit

A lot happened in #ONpoli this week, did you catch it all? Watch my one minute review and get up to date 👇🏼

More questions surrounding the secret 95 year deal with Therme, and still the Conservatives refuse to release the details of lease.

Therme's mega spa cannot run without hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies.

We deserve to know what Ford has signed us up for.

NEW: Financial audit reveals Therme's mega spa at Ontario Place is economically unfeasible.

➡️ Therme can't make money without major subsidies
➡️ No info on source of Therme's financing or capability of meeting commitments in 95-year lease

Time to scrap this plan entirely.

On #IDEVAW , I urge action from the Ford government.

The Renfrew County Inquest recommendations provide a roadmap to prevent intimate partner violence from escalating to femicide.

We can’t simply mourn when lives are lost, we must work towards a province free of gender violence.

Libraries are more than just books, they are spaces to build community and connect to resources. It’s a lifeline for many.

It was a pleasure to support the Toronto Public Library Foundation and share how Parkdale Library impacted my life.

We all have a library story, what's yours?

Cancer has impacted us all in one way or another.

This Cancer Awareness Month, I am proud to support the Canadian Cancer Society’s #HelpHopeBloom campaign for cancer research.

Thank you Bhutila Karpoche for demanding the Ontario Government follow their own laws and conduct an Environmental Assessment at Ontario Place! #topoli #onpoli

Ford’s Conservatives opened the floodgates for private, fee-based health care in our province while millions struggle without a family doctor.

That’s why the Ontario NDP and I are calling for an audit of private clinics charging patients to access primary care.

School boards are facing deficits, including $21M for the TDSB, due to provincial underfunding.

The Minister uses selective numbers and tries to paint a different picture.

The reality: Per student funding is cut again in Ford’s budget. It means more cuts to programs & supports.

This is no April Fools Day joke.

Despite Ford’s lawyers attempting to have the Ontario Place lawsuit thrown out, the courts have decided it will move forward.

Still the Conservatives will not halt their redevelopment plan on the Therme site.

Ford’s 2024 Budget wasn’t the only big #ONpoli news this week. Check out my one minute take ⤵️

Ontarians are opposed to the privatization of our public health care system.

In a packed town hall on health care, we discussed the state of and trends in our health care system and ways we can work to protect it.

Thank you to our panelists and all who attended.

MPP Karpoche will be hosting this healthcare town hall tonight in Toronto for concerned citizens with MPP Gélinas, the Ontario Health Coalition and local physicians. If we are to improve healthcare it will need citizen involvement and engagement. Bhutila Karpoche

Doug Ford's 2024 budget doesn’t even mention child care other than in a footnote. I asked why.

In response to my question, Ford's Minister of Education railed against the carbon tax, ignoring the concerns of Ontario families.

If you’re looking for change, Ford’s 2024 budget isn’t for you.

On housing, health care, social services and the environment, things are going to get much worse.

How do you spend so much money, yet deliver so little?
