While Ontario’s per-student funding hits a near 10-year low, Doug Ford’s ministers are bragging about $750 Staples gift cards. It’s time to listen to teachers, invest in our schools, and stop shortchanging our students.

For-profit private operators have been taking advantage of the system for years. Instead of holding them accountable, Doug Ford cut OSAP funding for every single student who relies on it. 1/2 toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/02/c...

"I see from my friends out here that nobody’s really getting housing” The Ford government is criminalizing addictions and homelessness and refusing to address homelessness the way we know would work - with housing. www.thestar.com/news/gta/for...

Ford government promised these health-care centres would be far better than supervised consumption sites. Are they actually working?
The province says more support is on the way, but delays in opening the hubs and a lack of access to housing have led to doubts about the strategy.
