Doug Ford is now exempting himself, his office and his cabinet from Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. FOIs are a basic way journalists hold governments in Canada to account. This crosses the line between a healthy democracy and a decline toward autocracy. This cannot stand.

"Power is not given. Power is built." At #AMPA2026, #OSSTF President Martha Hradowy reminded members that our power comes from solidarity and the 60,000 teachers and education workers who fight to protect public education every day. She also delivered a clear message to Premier

Kathleen Wynne did this a decade ago. The Ford Government paused it. You've been paying more for your tickets since 2018 because of Doug Ford.

This Thursday, the Ford government will unveil its provincial budget. While billions of taxpayer dollars are earmarked for highways, tunnels under the 401, and luxury spas, schools across Ontario are struggling with rising violence and complex student needs. In this clip from a

NEW: The Ford government is moving $4B in taxpayer money from a tariff relief program into a private investment fund. The finance minister argues it will spur economic growth & create future jobs. But critics say it is public money desperately needed in schools and hospitals.

Doug Ford's message to the people of Ontario: tough luck. My thoughts on a budget that prioritizes the wealthy and well-connected over everyday people across Ontario:

Let’s stop pretending this is normal. A sitting Premier threatening a woman for running for mayor? That’s not politics that’s threatening and intimidation. Doug Ford has gone full Trump-style, and somehow people are just… letting it slide. Where are the women’s rights groups

BREAKING: "TDSB is cutting 40 vice-principals - so some schools will have to share" - Toronto Star. Does Ford and his subjectively appointed Board Supervisors have ANY CLUE of the role of School Vice-Principals?! We need MORE resources to support underfunded schools not less.

As of yesterday, Ontario is out of compliance with the Canada Health Act because Doug Ford's government missed the federal deadline to fund nurse practitioners. Now Ontarians are being forced to pay out of pocket for primary care. 2.5 million people don't have a family doctor,

NEW: The supervisors the Ford government appointed with direction to bring order and financial restraint to Ontario school boards are billing the province substantially different sums — with one charging almost $240,000 for six months of work. globalnews.ca/news/11770269/… #onpoli

Doug Ford has plowed through local opposition to appoint supervisors who are railroading local democracy and ignoring educators' advice. Now, these supervisors are racking up bills that would make them some of the most highly paid public employees in the province. This isn't

Equal Pay Day is April 14. Women are still paid less for work of equal value, and that inequality follows them throughout their lives, from paycheques to pensions. Teachers and education workers know that fairness at work matters. Equal pay isn’t optional. It’s a right.
