Doug Ford’s donors give millions. Doug Ford’s friends get millions. All while his party wins “majorities” with only 40% of the vote.
When power is handed to a minority, accountability disappears.

Speaking of strikes, Ontario College Support staff represented by #OPSEU have been striking since Thursday. College management rejected an offer without even looking at it. If you've been to college recently, you know management has ballooned while instruction and support have contracted. #Ontario
