Imagine seeing a report that says it’ll cost $500K to fix the Science Centre, deciding it’s too much, and then spending over a BILLION instead to replace it.
That’s the stunning, reckless ineptitude of Doug Ford’s @OntarioPCParty in a nutshell.
guys the actual costs to remediate the high-risk panels at the original Science Centre and keep the building open was cited as $522,500 - according to the governments engineering report they used as an excuse to shut it down infrastructureontario.ca/49e…

NEW: Ontario’s own health agency recommended funding a 31-year-old cancer patient’s treatment in the U.S. Two clinical experts agreed it was medically necessary.
But a senior ministry of health official denied her funding anyway — and Sabrina Apitz-Grossman was never told about those recommendations, new FOI records reveal. thetrillium.ca/news/health/o…

Ontario needs more doctors like MPP Dr. Robin Lennox who will stand up for patients and rightly criticize the Ontario government for making decisions not in the best interests of patients. Today - you saw a profile in courage. @RobinLennox @OntarioNDP

Ford government ramming through data centres without adequate safeguards or transparency and in face of legitimate community concerns is not just bad policy, it’s terrible politics.
NEW: The Ford government will approve its first swath of new AI data centres “sooner rather than later,” even as the province faces mounting calls for a moratorium over environmental and data sovereignty concerns.

It's time to fire Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones.
-Worsening hallway medicine
-Worsening ER overcrowding
-Falsely accusing MDs of fraud
-Denying cancer treatment and lying
-Expanding profiteer medicine
This affects everyone regards of how they vote. @fordnation

Sabrina is 31 and fighting a rare, aggressive cancer. For weeks, Health Minister Sylvia Jones has said doctors decide whether patients like her get treatment outside the country.
Now we know two medical experts and Ontario’s own health agency said yes to Sabrina, and it was the Minister’s own ministry that said no.
Cancer patients shouldn’t have to fight their own government just to get care.
Doug Ford must reverse this decision and give Sabrina a chance at life today.
Ontario refused cancer patient's U.S. treatment and never told her its own health agency recommended funding it, FOI reveals thetrillium.ca:443/news/heal…

Sometimes being kicked out of the Legislature is the best way of emphasizing the gravity of the government wrong. It's temporary. The cancer isn't
“She has lied and people have died.”
Moments ago at Queen’s Park: NDP MPP Robin Lennox is kicked out of the chambers for calling Health Minister Sylvia Jones a liar, following revelations that Ontario refused to fund Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment despite its own health agency’s recommendation.

Ontario. This is the MPP you need. This is the doctor you need. MPP Dr. Robin Lennox rightly accused Deputy Premier Jones of lying in denying a patient treatment that her doctors and Ontario Health itself recommended. Dr. Lennox - thank you. @RobinLennox

NDP MPP Robin Lennox ejected from the Ontario legislature for accusing the Minister of Health of lying about denying Sabrina Apitz-Grossman out of country cancer treatment.
An FOI from Apitz-Grossman shows a ministry official didn't approve the funding despite being recommended

A 31-year-old cancer patient is taking her fight with the province to fund life-saving treatment only available in the U.S. to court.
Sabrina Apitz-Grossman says it's a fight that's bigger than her

The Ford government's decision to move the Science Centre to the waterfront came with an extra cost--changing the now awkwardly named Science Centre Station
The bill: $618,000
