Can I let you in on a little secret?
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Ford government ads show the ‘gravy train’ is still rolling, critics charge
Taking aim at record spending of $111.9 million on government ads last year, critics say Premier Doug Ford is more interested in polishing his image than in helping Ontarians.

In 2024 health spending was 6.5% more than in 2023.
But inflation grew 4.9%, population grew 3%, and aging added 0.6% in costs.
"When you crunch the numbers, the real dollars available actually shrunk by about 2 per cent. That’s an untenable situation in the long term – and even the short term"

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

When will Ontarians wake up and realize that #DougFord has never been for the"little guy". All he and his caucus do is for his builder buddies n party donors. Cancelling vehicle licence fees n $200 cheques were our bribes.
“I don’t get involved in these decisions,” the premier said. “I don’t believe in micromanaging. I like making big decisions… That’s why I have ministers, so I don’t micromanage. I hold everyone accountable, I can tell you that.”
Ford went on to say all the new speed bumps in Toronto must be blue.
