NDP Leader @AndreaHorwath: Can Ford explain to the woman driving a school bus in Etobicoke for $30,000/yr why she has to forego increases that keep up with the cost of living. While Ford's campaign insider Ian Todd gets a 25% pay hike making $350,000/yr working for the Ford govt?
Horwath: Todd just one example. When it comes to Ford's friends and Conservative connections a seat on the Ford gravy train with six-figure salaries and hefty pay packages are par for the course.
Horwath: Ford tells a working woman who spends her day travelling to provide home care the $32,000/yr she earns is too much. Ford asks that personal support worker to tighten her belt, while handing former PC Party Pez Reuben Devlin a $375,000/yr consulting gig. #onpoli

NDP Leader @AndreaHorwath: Yesterday, we saw the preliminary boundaries for Ford's reckless scheme to eliminate 25 public health units, which will see large cities like Ottawa & Kingston now share a public health unit.
Who did Ford consult with on these boundaries? #onpoli
Horwath: Chief Medical Officers in #HamOnt & Niagara are still struggling to figure out how the merger of their regions will even work, much less the impact on services. Why is the Ford govt keeping public health units in the dark while they force through risky changes? #onpoli
Horwath: Ford's attack on regional health care systems will impact every part of Ontario. Waterloo Regional Chair Karen Redman: “I have grave concerns...the farther you move away from local decision-making, the greater the opportunity for less responsive & accountable decisions."

NDP Leader @AndreaHorwath: On Friday, the Ford govt announced Grants For Student Needs cuts, and school boards are confirming what we already knew: Larger class sizes, fewer teachers and fewer courses available for students. #onpoli #onpoli
Horwath: The TDSB says they’re facing a multi-million dollar shortfall. In Peel course options lost. Toronto Catholic Board Chair says they’re losing $655,000 in grants and eliminating 95 jobs for at-risk youth.
These are very real cuts affecting Ontario students. #onpoli
Horwath: Ford's Education Minister keeps denying it, but no one believes her anymore: The Ford Government is making cuts to classrooms and our students are paying the price. #onpoli #onted #studentssayno

NDP leader @AndreaHorwath: In Peel, where 369 lay-off notices have gone out to teachers the superintendent of human resources says this is not normal. This is not routine. This is real and it is bad. Does Ford think he’s not telling the truth? #onted #onpoli
Horwath: Students & their parents just don’t believe Ford.
They see the plan for larger classes & fewer courses. They hear his overheated rhetoric and they don’t see a plan for education.
They see a recipe for cuts in the classroom and chaos in schools. #onted #onpoli
Horwath (unable to get an answer from Ford, turns to Minister of Education): Does the Minister of Education consider it a job loss if a teacher is laid off from a full-time position but is offered occasional supply teaching instead? #onted #onpoli
