29 days until election day Feb 27.
The timing of this election is suspect; is he trying to capitalize on a combo of our inability to pay attention to EVERYTHING and to have to get to the polls on a cold winters day in Feb? Does he want low voter turnout? #yourvotematters #ontariovotes #onpoli

It should never have been sold; taxpayers built it, cons sold it off to fudge their budgetary numbers!
1/ Tired of the heavy traffic congestion on the Highway 401, and the insane tolls on the 407?
@maritstilesndp.bsky.social and the ONDP are pledging to legislate the sale of the 407 back to the province so they can remove ALL tolls!
Smart policy.

3/ I really hope voters pay attention this election. In 2021 we were distracted with the pandemic and just trying to get by. Now we have a chance to elect an NDP government that will re-invest heavily in healthcare and education, reverse the privatization efforts of the PCs, and govern responsibly.

Think your ER & specialist wait times, out-of-control rent, underfunded schools, & tuition+ interest costs are Trudeau’s fault?
They’re not.
In Ontario these are Doug Ford’s Conservatives.
This SNAP election is over a year early costing $175 Million #ontariovotes2025 #ontariovotes

“A digital marketing firm abroad ran two of the largest anti-vax, pro-trucker groups, feeding disinformation into the movement while posing as grassroots supporters. Foreign propaganda is threatening our democracy.”

Pierre Poilievre’s rage-baiting and empty slogans aren’t what Canada needs
Canada risks electing dubious Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre based on little more than catchy slogans and voter fatigue.

Did you know that in February 2024, the AB UCP restructured its approach to early childhood education by transferring responsibility from the Ministry of Children and Family Services to the Ministry of Jobs, Economy, and Trade (JET).

Gifting our hospitals to religious zealots or destroying our public science centers for the engorgement of the rich.
It should be painfully clear at this point they are not interested in bettering our lives. Only theirs.

Hold your premiers accountable for their regressive policies, divisive rhetoric and inability to lead on crucial issues under provincial jurisdiction, like healthcare and education. At the very least, our leaders should have empathy and trust science.

As an Albertan, I grew up thinking that Liberals hated Alberta, I hated Ontario, and the horror that Ottawa had visited upon our beautiful province. I admired Preston Manning (The guy who created the party that would become the CPC). Then I met a Political Science Prof at MRU
