Weeks before Ford called a snap election campaign with the threat of tariffs looming, his campaign director signed an 'exclusive partnership' with a Washington-based lobbying firm.

Doug Ford has one of the worst negotiating records that I've seen in a Premier. Just look at his Ontario Place deal: Why is every household in the province paying $400 each to subsidize a luxury spa in downtown Toronto?

The AG report found that the redevelopment of Ontario Place is a $2.2 billion mismanaged project.
❌ $2.2B which could have helped build 1.5M homes—enough to end Ontario’s housing supply crisis.
❌ The Ford government gave select bidders insider access.
Stay tuned as we uncover more grift.

Sudbury family had to send their autistic 8-year-old five hours away just to get her help. ‘We can’t do this by ourselves anymore’
The only place for the girl with complex needs was Mississauga, a 400-kilometre drive away, making it hard for the struggling parents to even visit.

Under the Ford govt (as of June 2024) of the 73,031 kids registered for the ON autism pgm only 14,113 were actually accessing it. That’s after 6+ yrs of waiting for them to “get it right”

My heart is already grieving over the lives we will lose to the Ontario's government's deadly decision to close SCSs. No other parents should have to know our pain. #saveOnscs #onpoli
Important document.
How can we make politicians like Ford read it?
Maybe he should read the obituaries of our children first. There will be more when consumption sites are closed.
Lethbridge, AB, where a consumption site was closed in 2020, now has the worst death rates in the province.
