Ford’s latest commitment to the Ontario people over Musk lasted less time than most hospital visits.
Once again “Flip Flop Ford” has shown when given the choice between Ontario and his rich buddies- Doug will always choose his buddies or those he wants to be buddies with.
Time to go Dougie!

This week, OFL President Laura Walton joined United Steelworkers District 6 members in Sault Ste. Marie to support the NDP’s Build Canadian, Buy Canadian plan—a strong response to Trump’s tariff threats and a bold move to strengthen our economy.

If Ford learned anything through the pandemic, it was how to capitalize on a crisis to enrich his buddies.
While he awarded big contracts to corps & developers to make record profits - he attacked workers through legislation.
Make no mistake he will do it again & use tariffs as an excuse

While Ford is off promising billions in “infrastructure spending” in southern Ontario - we are headed north to meet with workers & knock on doors.
An extra lane on the QEW will not help those without doctors, food or housing in Thunder Bay! Join us tomorrow and Monday!

So I'm standing in the grocery store parking lot and it's freaking cold.
A very classy old woman sees me and walks the entire distance across the lot.
"You give that man shit," she says.
Then walks away.
That's Canada.
The criminal might buy off porn stars.
He will never force Canada to bend.

MAGA is going to have to do a better job if they think they can con Canadians into selling out our birth right.
But morons like her and Kevin O'Leary are sure doing wonders for strengthening the Canadian back bone.
We will fight for our country, our values and a strong border.

A friendly reminder of the never ending costs of privatization of public services. Also a reminder that GFL was brought in by Ford - no not that one - his brother.
Privatization costs workers & their communities in so many ways

I nominate that @charlieangus104.bsky.social runs provincially under the Ontario NDP banner for the Timmins riding!
Damn. I think I'll move to Timmins just so I can vote for this guy. 🇨🇦
I'm from mining country.
I have spent countless hours interviewing old timers about this fierce culture.
I have written many books and songs about it and host the mining tours for the incredible Cobalt Mining Museum.
Here's my band underground in Cobalt, Ont:

Supervised consumption sites don’t “enable” drug use, they provide health care for people who are already using drugs.
You shouldn’t have to be drug free to access health care! My last overdose was at booth 5 and I’m now almost 12 years sober. That wouldn’t be possible without harm reduction.
