Terrible betrayal of Thunder Bay’s Alstom workers. The Ford government has given $9 billion to Japan to build the new Ontario line by reducing the 25% Canadian content rules to 10%. No work for Ontario workers; no tax revenues; the very real risk of losing our world class plant!

This might not seem immediately relevant to people in the north but Ontario Place is supposed to belong to all of us. Tearing down 800 mature trees for a private mega spa, with taxpayers paying for the spa parking lot is yet another transfer of public assets into private hands.

Finally, forest firefighters have the protection they deserve with WSIB coverage. This is a significant milestone and a testament to the tireless advocacy of forest firefighters. There is more to do and this is an important first step.

Thanks to their determination, Ontario’s forest firefighters will soon have the same presumptive WSIB coverage that urban firefighters do. This change brings us a step closer to recognizing the risks forest firefighters take to keep us safe. Read more:

Chief Hare's speech was one of the highlights of the AMO conference, stating what so many want: the resignation of housing minister Steve Clark, the return of the Greenbelt and rescinding Bill 23. Thank you Chief Hare for standing strong for FNs and for the people of Ontario.

I was proud to stand and speak to Bill 118, the Injured Workers Day Act. Thanks to my colleague @jamiewestndp for his continued advocacy for workers and for bringing this bill forward. Injured Workers need to be recognized and respected. It is long past time to fix a broken WSIB.

The sudden idling of the Terrace Bay Pulp Mill will have a major effect on communities in the Thunder Bay region. All levels of government need to be at the table now to begin to come up with solutions. @OFLabour @jamiewestndp @DavidPiccini @BourgouinGuy

Great to meet with Northern members of @OCUFA today for a conversation about the lack of funding for post-secondary education. Ontario ranks dead last in Canada for funding. The Minister of Colleges & Universities wouldn't even meet with members at their Queen's Park Lobby Day!

The Ford government does not consult with Ontarians and it definitely Acts before it Thinks! Conservatives always say government should be run like a business. Well, this Ford "business" model is an unmitigated disaster. #OnPoli #Thunder

No one can spin a tale like Lecce but he let it slip that he want boards and teachers to do more with LESS. For years teachers have been paying for student supplies out of their own pickets. Lecce: helping private schools grow by wrecking public education.

If there's anything radical right now in the province of Ontario, it's your government cutting $1500 per student in education funding since 2018 & trying to strip collective bargaining rights from education workers. We are the ones on the side of students & workers in education

With David Onley’s passing we mourn the loss of a fierce an effective advocate for people living with disabilities. Visibility, inclusion, and demands for accessibility are part of his legacy. The work continues as we we push to fully implement AODA and double ODSP rates.

The rates for OW and ODSP need to be doubled. Calling the 5% increase an “historic investment” ignores the fact the the Harris conservative government drastically cut the rates in the mid nineties. In fact Ford rolled back the meagre 3% increase offered by the Wynne government.

While some of the lowest paid education workers, largely women and racialized workers, are trying to feed their families, the Ford govt is passing a bill to remove fundamental rights and legislate four more years of poverty for these workers. Who will they come for next?

It's frustrating to see the Conservatives voting against MPP Kernaghan's motion for public-built affordable homes. Let's stand together for affordable housing! Together, we can make sure housing is a right, not a privilege. 🏠🏡
