The more the richest 40,000 Canadians (top 0.1%) tantrum about having to declare 66.7% of their capital gains *above* $250K/yr (while the rest of us have to declare 100% of our humble labour income), the stronger these poll numbers are gonna become. Please carry on!!

There are 2 million Ontarians without access to a family doctor. This is unacceptable to me, and it should be unacceptable to this Premier.⁠

International Day of Persons with Disabilities is a call to action! I call upon Doug Ford and Raymond Cho to take action to meet the goals for an accessible Ontario by 2025. Barriers still exist.

Minister Parsa and the Ford government are completely out of touch to think anyone can afford to live on current ODSP rates.

No Ontarians should be living in legislated poverty. Rates need to be doubled, not reduced.

Ford’s Conservatives have plunged our province into the worst corruption scandal in our history.

We need stronger laws to stop this and future governments from giving preferential treatment to their friends & insiders.
