This why we can't trust the Liberals to deliver on their promises. They helped the Conservatives break the healthcare system. Vote Jen Deck in #Ptbo! 🍊👍

Peterborough NDP @ptbondp.bsky.social · Feb 26

Liberals 🤝 Conservatives. They broke our public healthcare system.

🧡 The Ontario NDP will fix it! Starting with a family doctor for everyone.

✅ Vote Jen Deck in #Ptbo — Kawartha

Fantastic candidate! It would be a crying shame if we didn't elect someone like Jen Deck here in #Ptbo.

Hey #PTBO, remember when I said less parking for apartment requires improving transit? Not approving your cycling master plan and not hiring more transit drivers is EXACTLY NOT THAT.

Taylor Clysdale @taylorclysdale.bsky.social · Jan 30

This is a great change, but it will be even more effective with increases to active transportation and transit. Making Ptbo walkable and bikable will help actively reduce the wasted space of parking lots.

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past.

We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.

Ontario NDP Leader Announces Plan to End Encampments and Tackle Homelessness

After seven long years, Doug Ford’s legacy is encampments in every single town and city in our province.

Seeing tents in parks is a stark reminder of how utterly Ford has failed Ontario – on housing, health care, creating good jobs, and making life more affordable.

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past.

We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.

✅ Build 60,000 supportive housing units: safe, permanent homes with wraparound supports like mental health care and addiction treatment.

✅ Upload shelter funding to the province: cities shouldn’t be left scrambling to fund shelters while Ford hoards money.

✅ Expand housing benefits: moving people out of shelters into homes, freeing up shelter space, and helping more Ontarians get back on their feet.

✅ Prevent homelessness before it happens: protect renters, stop illegal evictions, and double social assistance so more people can afford to stay in their homes.

As we already know, Peterborough-Nogojiwanong is a very engaged community. Here is some data from the #PTBO Bluesky feed that demonstrates how engaged we are.

However, it saddens me to see that outrage at the actions of our city council is what causes this chart to spike.

Doug Ford says one thing when he’s in front of the cameras, and another when he’s behind closed doors.

That’s who he has always been.

Great opportunity to learn about heat pumps and greener home heating (and cooling) from @ptbogreenup Feb 13

Our family went to a heat pump a couple of years ago and not only less Green House Gas emissions but cheaper too!

The council meeting last night broke me.

Until about halfway through the night, while things often happened around the horseshow I didn't like, I was able to keep some hope that council was 11 people trying their best and worth engaging with in good faith.

I was wrong. #ptbo

Huge success on the doors today despite the frigid weather. The working class neighbourhoods in Lansdowne St near the mem centre and the streets near Del Crary are now solid orange with signs and supporters 🍊

Message us to request one and show Doug Ford the working class in #PTBO wants change!

It’s official: Doug Ford quit on Ontario today. So I’m here to apply for his job.

In the next few weeks, we can turn the page on seven long years of failure, corruption, and bad deals.

You deserve a better government. With your support, I’ll be a Premier that’s on your side.
