The Skills Development Fund has been tainted & trust has been lost. Ford's Minister of Labour has been compromised. Our economy is at a standstill. We can't afford to waste the potential of the SDF by a Minister who has been compromised. Time for the Premier to fire him. #onpoli

Our democracy is worth fighting for. It does not end at the ballot box; it lives in open debate and public participation. We wear poppies to remember the fight for democracy, and they are also a reminder to stay vigilant and protect the privileges that came with great sacrifice. #onpoli
