Six donuts: no tax. Five: taxed. The logic falls apart the second you look at it, and you're the one paying for it. It's time to scrap the tax on food, like Manitoba's NDP did.

It's time to ban surveillance pricing. Companies are tracking what you buy, what you search, even how you move your mouse, to answer one question: what's the most YOU will pay? Not one price for everyone. Your price. And it could be costing your family $1,200 more per year on groceries alone.

Doug Ford REALLY wants you to scroll past this. Especially if you’re in Scarborough. Advance voting starts today in the Scarborough Southwest by-election and it’s time for Scarborough to get its fair share with the strong, driven, and relentless Fatima Shaban.

I asked Doug Ford to recall the legislature so Ontario can fight back against Donald Trump’s tariffs. He called that “gutter politics.” Here’s my response:

I wrote to Doug Ford today: recall the legislature now so we can pass emergency protections for Ontario workers and businesses.

It’s time to break up the grocery monopoly. There’s a clause hiding in grocery store leases that keeps your bill high, and most people have never heard of it. It’s called a property control, and the giant chains use it to block competitors from opening anywhere near them.

This is disgusting, and Doug Ford does not get to shrug it off. Spying on a woman who is one of your political opponents on her private vacation is creepy Trump-style politics that has no place here. Women already face enough barriers in politics without this kind of behaviour.

August is Emancipation Month. Slavery is part of Canada's history, and its legacy didn't end with abolition in 1834. Anti-Black racism still shapes lives in Ontario today.

Northern Ontario is burning. Today, I’m calling for immediate action: ✅ Declare a provincial state of emergency ✅ Remove barriers between jurisdictions so emergency assistance can be provided quickly ✅ Show up: house every evacuee, resource every fire crew, and rebuild every affected community

If you stepped outside today, that haze you're breathing is wildfire smoke. But the real story is up north, where it's coming from. Whole communities evacuated. Families fleeing by boat. Collins First Nation burned to the ground.

Minister Stan Cho lives in Willowdale, just a few subway stops from Queen's Park. No transfer required. He also has a taxpayer-funded car and driver. He still billed the public $16,203 for downtown Toronto hotel rooms.

I am thinking of the two lives lost and others who were injured and traumatized by the violence this evening on St .Clair West, just a short walk from my home. My family and I are safe, but I can’t imagine what the families of the victims are experiencing tonight.

I wrote to Prime Minister Carney today.   Doug Ford said Canada wasn't for sale. Then he rammed through the Billy Bishop expansion – pushed by an American company tied to JP Morgan. (1/2)

I've asked the Ontario Liberal and Green leaders to join me in calling for a full Auditor General investigation into Ford's $30M jet disaster. The good people of Ontario are looking to us to be united in pursuit of accountability and transparency.

I've called on the Auditor General to investigate the full cost of Doug Ford's $30M jet disaster. The purchase. The outfitting. The resale. The losses. Ontarians deserve to know how much this cost them.

A strip club. A luxury spa. A private jet. This isn't a bachelor party — it's Doug Ford's Ontario.

Finally got to meet Deputy Premier, Uzoma Asagwara. What a leader. Thank you for showing the country what an NDP government can deliver on health care: universal prescription birth control, thousands of health care workers hired, ERs and hospitals rebuilt, and patients getting care sooner.

Congratulations to @avilewis, for being elected the new leader of Canada’s NDP! The Canada we’re fighting for lifts people up, brings people together, and builds a future for everyone. That’s what NDP oppositions fight for every day, and it’s what NDP governments deliver.

A court ordered Doug Ford to release his phone records.   So he's changing the law to make sure he never has to.   Wondering what he's covering up? It starts with a leaked video.   Watch the full story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7esZ...

If I were Premier of Ontario, the first thing I'd do is address the underfunding of our public health care system, our schools, fix Northern highways, and ensure our kids could have a future in this province.    These are the priorities that a government in Ontario should have right now.

Doug Ford is obsessed with Toronto , but he keeps forgetting he’s Premier of the entire province. While he’s busy drawing up plans for a fantasy island, a new convention centre, and even adding jets, people in Northern Ontario are just asking for one thing: fix a single highway. (1/2)

I don’t want my daughters to have to carry pepper spray to feel safe walking home, neither should Doug Ford’s daughters - or anyone’s daughters. If he wants to keep our kids safe, he should look in his own backyard and address community safety as the Premier of Ontario.

At the end of the day, Doug Ford’s FOI changes are all about hiding his cell phone records from the people of Ontario and rewriting the rules to protect himself.   What is he hiding and why is he working so hard to keep it a secret?

You waited 15 years for a train. Someone got rich while you waited. 💰   Watch to the end to find out how the mess by Metrolinx cost you – even if you've never taken transit in your life.

Great to visit the Shreddies facility in Niagara Falls and see firsthand the people and innovation behind Ontario’s food manufacturing industry.   Ontario’s food manufacturing sector supports good local jobs, puts food on the table and keeps our communities healthy. (1/2)

In 1921, they told Agnes Macphail her nomination was a mistake. That she should step aside and let a man do the job. She refused. She became the first woman elected to Canada's House of Commons. She helped build the movement that became the New Democratic Party. (1/2)

When Doug Ford came for education workers, we fought back and won. When he came after the Greenbelt, we fought back and won. Now, he’s coming for students and we will fight back and win.

Thousands of students, parents, and advocates gathered at Queen’s Park with one clear message:reverse the OSAP cuts and invest in students. Doug Ford’s decision to gut OSAP grants isn’t just reckless,it risks our province’s economic future and pushes a generation of students deeper into debt.(1/2)

It's time for Doug Ford to see beyond his silver spoon and step up as the Premier for every Ontarian, not just the wealthy.    By cutting OSAP grants, Doug Ford is making it impossible for young people to get ahead, burying them thousands of dollars of debt before they can even find their first job!

Marit Stiles @maritstilesndp.bsky.social · 20/02/2026
Young people in Ontario are already stretched thin  and Doug Ford is making it worse.   He’s lifting the tuition freeze and cutting OSAP grants, forcing students to borrow more just to finish school.   You can’t build a strong economy on a generation buried in debt.

Doug Ford is a jobs disaster. Tens of thousands of workers have been handed pink slips while they wait for the Premier to finally come up with a jobs plan. If Ford won't do that, then the least he can do is demand that the Prime Minister stop taxing laid off workers' severance pay.
