A story in three parts about Doug Ford's integrity, honour, and resistance to the very real threats posed by Trump and Musk. Slow clap for Captain Canada. #OnPoli #JustSayNoToNazis #DougFordIsCorrupt

Top: Doug Ford wears a blue hat with white words that say, "I GAVE ELON $100M FOR STARLINK"

Middle: A headline reads, "Ford: Ripping up Ontario's contract with Starlink"

Bottom: Must Starlink deal with Ontario government back on hours after threat to rip it up

Ford’s latest commitment to the Ontario people over Musk lasted less time than most hospital visits. Once again “Flip Flop Ford” has shown when given the choice between Ontario and his rich buddies- Doug will always choose his buddies or those he wants to be buddies with. Time to go Dougie!

This week, OFL President Laura Walton joined United Steelworkers District 6 members in Sault Ste. Marie to support the NDP’s Build Canadian, Buy Canadian plan—a strong response to Trump’s tariff threats and a bold move to strengthen our economy. @waltonmomof2.bsky.social #OnPoli #OnLab #tariff

If Ford learned anything through the pandemic, it was how to capitalize on a crisis to enrich his buddies. While he awarded big contracts to corps & developers to make record profits - he attacked workers through legislation. Make no mistake he will do it again & use tariffs as an excuse

While Ford is off promising billions in “infrastructure spending” in southern Ontario - we are headed north to meet with workers & knock on doors. An extra lane on the QEW will not help those without doctors, food or housing in Thunder Bay! Join us tomorrow and Monday!

When faced with the threat of protectionist policies during the US-Canada FTA and NAFTA - we used to say - “If you want to sell cars in Canada, you need to make cars in Canada.” Time to bust it out again. #OnLab #OnPoli #Tariffs

MAGA is going to have to do a better job if they think they can con Canadians into selling out our birth right. But morons like her and Kevin O'Leary are sure doing wonders for strengthening the Canadian back bone. We will fight for our country, our values and a strong border.

Supervised consumption sites don’t “enable” drug use, they provide health care for people who are already using drugs. You shouldn’t have to be drug free to access health care! My last overdose was at booth 5 and I’m now almost 12 years sober. That wouldn’t be possible without harm reduction.

It’s easy to point fingers at the workers during a strike & buy the bosses’ narrative that this is all their fault. I challenge you to remember that without workers we have no economy. And anything we currently enjoy was not given freely by the boss @oflabour.bsky.social vm.tiktok.com/ZMkJTaNRJ/

I am happy to read that Minister Piccini took my words to heart. Currently fines levied against the boss due to workplace fatalities are seen as the cost of doing business. These minimums are the start. We also need to see #WestrayLaw enforced! #KillAWorkerGoToJail @oflabour.bsky.social

This is priceless…. The moment that Doug Ford realized he didn’t understand what Trump’s tariff promise actually meant. Let’s not forget Doug has given Donald his “unwavering support” for years. Tariffs, Trump & Ford - none are good for workers #OntLab #OnPoli @oflabour.bsky.social

This is on Doug Ford, and the numerous Ministers he has put on the Autism file, and that have failed families across Ontario. Children’s Aid is at a breaking point in Ontario - yet this government is preoccupied with beer and bike lanes in Toronto. #OnLab #OnPoli www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

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.
