Well that was an effective use of taxpayer $$$ For all the researchers out there: how many jobs could have been funded in healthcare or education or social services with this money? How many houses built? Actions speak louder than words, especially words in tv ads. OFL

To be clear the Mango Menace was looking for an excuse. However Ford wasted our money giving him that excuse. Now they hide. This is been the pattern for 8 years. The people of Ontario deserve better than theatrics.

We’re bringing transparency & accountability BACK! On Oct 23 we went to Queen’s Park to present the results of our 2025 OAC Community Survey-about the reality of services access in Ontario. THIS is "for the community by the community". Full report here: ontarioautismcoalition.com/wp-content/upl…

For decades, CEOs wrote the rules. Corporate profits soared while workers' wages stagnated. It’s time to rewrite those rules. My Worker Power Plan puts power back where it belongs: in the hands of workers.

You don’t need an advisory board to know that cutting education funding, letting schools crumble, and undercutting teachers leads to bad results.

Thanks for having me! The OFL fights for workers every single day, and I am excited to work with and follow their lead as NDP leader.

The calendar year ends in 4 weeks. Behold the latest trial balloon around the dissolution of school board governance. And the projected pitting of public vs Catholic, French va English. The centralization of power continues. OFL
