BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.
They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.
Don't let them fool you.

Ontario’s four teachers’ unions have been without a contract since last August, and it appears they are nowhere closer to reaching a deal with the Ford government. toronto.citynews.ca/2023/01/…

NEW: Ontario voters seem to be pointing the finger at Premier Doug Ford, according to a new poll, blaming the Progressive Conservative government for the closure of classrooms in the fight with thousands of education-support workers.

Who else thinks that CUPE education workers should get the raise they're asking for? ✋🏽

Provinces should be put on notice: any use of the notwithstanding clause to limit rights, particularly in the pre-emptive, blank-cheque manner that Ontario and Quebec have been using it, will be met with the traditional instrument of federal rights enforcement: disallowance.

It’s shocking to me that we’ve got MPPs in power here in Ontario that think they deserve the $16,000 raise they gave themselves earlier this year but don’t think CUPE education workers deserve a raise of just $3.25 per hour so they can afford to put food on the table.

As you hear about CUPE strike action, never forget that @Sflecce took $465 million out of the education budget to pay parents, when $235 million would have avoided a strike.

BREAKING: Ford is going to fine CUPE for exercising their legal right to strike by charging those who make #39kIsNotEnough 10% of their yearly salary per day if they walk! @sflecce made $165,851.04 back in 2020. SHAME

There you have it folks, Ontario Conservatives are the first Canadian government to use the Notwithstanding clause to override Constitutionally protected Labour Rights.
Quite a day in Canadian Labour law and Constitutional history.
