NDP leader @AndreaHorwath to Ford: Water report highlights the multi-billion dollar school repair backlog.
The backlog was $15.9 billion under the Liberals, now $16.3 billion under Ford.
Hardly surprising since Ford cut $100 million from school repair budgets. #onpoli
@AndreaHorwath .@BissonGilles: At Timmins High and Vocational School, in the Timmins District School Board 56% of test results showed levels of lead that exceeded regulations. What does the Ford government have to say to the students at @timminshigh, and to their parents? #onpoli#Timmins
@AndreaHorwath@BissonGilles@timminshigh .@SuzeMorrison In Toronto Centre, Inglenook Community School has a 25% failure rate of lead in water. The WHO confirms that there is no safe level of lead.
What is Ford going to do to make sure that no more lead tests at @InglenookCHS come back over mandated limits? #TorCen

A timeline of Merrilee Fullerton, Doug Ford’s Minister of Long-Term Care, downplaying how many seniors are getting sick and dying in long-term care, playing a callous numbers game to avoid having to spend money to hire staff and implement infection control measures. 1/6
On Sept. 22, there were 58 resident cases:
“Ninety-nine per cent of our long-term-care homes have no resident cases.” - Merrilee Fullerton 2/6 hansardindex.ontla.on.ca/hansardespeake…
On Oct. 5, there were 136 resident cases:
“98% of our long-term-care homes have no resident cases.”
- Merrilee Fullerton hansardindex.ontla.on.ca/hansardespeake… 3/6
Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Christine Elliott lied when they said their decision to cancel many public health protections was based on expert advice.
A TIMELINE OF LIES brought to you by Doug Ford's Conservative government:
Doug Ford, Nov. 3: “This framework was developed in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the Public Health Measures Table, local medical officers of health, and other health system experts.” #FordLied#Covid19#Covid19Ontario
FACT CHECK TIMELINE: As Ontario reaches yet another record high number of new #COVID19 cases, Doug Ford needs to explain why he and his govt have been minimizing the impact of COVID’s second wave on Ontario families, and cutting back on public health measures...
1/6
October 6 — 548 new COVID-19 cases reported in Ontario.
Today, the courts ruled against Doug Ford’s cut to OHIP coverage for Ontarians when they’re travelling.
This makes SEVEN court battles lost by Doug Ford and his PC govt, wasting precious public dollars defending his cutting agenda. #onpoli
There’s a lot to unpack here, first of all, the ‘free market’ would not have the business opportunity to operate COVID-19 tests at a high price if the gov’t was on top of testing – but they’re leaving people behind.
Everyday Ontarians are waiting hours in line to get their COVID-19 test. While the gov’t has been saying for months that “they’re hammering away at testing” but experts disagree: ontariondp.ca/news/fact-chec…
If testing was as easy and accessible as it should be with a public health system, there would not be a market for $400 testing kits for those that can afford it. Demand the gov’t invest in testing now: ontariondp.ca/demand-covid-1…
