Public money going for a strip club?
Welcome to public interest Doug Ford style.
He should at least tell us which members of his cabinet checked out the joint prior to handing over millions that could have been spent on dealing with the small town hospital crisis.

Ontario is in the middle of a jobs disaster. Now, the Premier wants to make it easier for people to be evicted from their homes with Bill 60.

Housing has never been more expensive; and now Ford is making things even worse.

We need to build more housing and real rent control now.

Labour minister Piccini says handing $100M in grants to friends and PC backers isn’t corruption—it’s “skills development.”

With 800,000 Ontarians are looking for work, every Skills Development Fund dollar should go to workers—not lobbyists and PC insiders.

"...the reality is that Toronto traffic is worse today than it was a decade ago. In another decade, it will be worse than it is today."

Anytime somebody says 'getting rid of bike lanes will reduce car congestion'. And then what in 5 years?

Ford’s Ontario:

➡️ Labour Minister goes to a Leafs game with a company exec.
➡️ Months later, that same company gets $7.5M in public grants.

This isn’t “for the people.” It’s for his pals.

🚨 Ford’s PCs turned Ontario’s $2.5 billion Skills Development Fund into a slush fund.

Applications rated poor, low, medium got millions.

Meanwhile:
⚠️ 800,000 Ontarians out of work
⚠️ 10,000 jobs lost at colleges

This isn’t job creation—it’s corruption.

Ford says “it won’t happen again”, after a government vehicle was clocked 12 times driving 50+ km/h over the limit.

Highway safety isn’t optional—it’s a responsibility.

Because nothing says “For the People” like stunt-driving and zero accountability.
