#elxn43 leaders E are thread. Stay tuned

1 minute BS opening from “geterdone” Ford. The over use of only is irritating. Incorrect too.

Great poke at NDP/Libs by #ILikeMike

@StevenDelDuca crammed a lot of platform into 1 minute.

They will mute mikes. Excellent.

NDP talked a lot if words only actually mentioned $20 min wage. Word salad.

@StevenDelDuca talks about affordability pledge ( need to Google). He mentioned quite a few platform items again.

@fordnation wants to cut revenue wants to slash taxes wants to build build build.

@MikeSchreiner talks about affordable housing getting rid of speculation. Talks about getting rid of oil and lowering prices on EV. No paving on farmland. #IlikeMike

lib vs Ford. @StevenDelDuca says Ford is fighting the 2018 election again. More talk about the affordability pledge. Ford says DelDuca destroyed this province. Says they want to raise everything. Ford pikes so much BS into this. It is 2018 all over again.

DelDuca says you are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Boom.

Ndp vs green - one affordability concerns how it affects the most vulnerable. Brings up ODSP. Ford has frozen. #DoubleODSPNow. No more legislated poverty. Thanks ndp to amend their plan to double as well.

Ndp - you are right Mike but the best way is to vote ndp. Talking about young people not affording buying houses. Rent control. Gauging at the pumps.

Green - housing affordability is #1 issue. Building more supply without paving over farmland. NDP - we need to elect a government ahhh is going to defeat ford.

413 is the next issue - $10B. Green says this is an absolute disaster. Farming contributes so much and it puts it at risk to save commuters 30 seconds. Let’s build livable affordable connected communities.

Lin - $10b spent recklessly as does nothing for anyone but a few people. It affects his hometown. He stopped it before ford brought it back he will cancel it once for all.

Please excuse my typos. Fingers not liking the wowed of this here. .

Ndp - wry against this - libs flipped flopped it. They will babe only party fighting against highways only helping developers. .

Pc. So much nonsense crap - saving 30 minutes? Nope.

DelDuca - put money from highway into schools. Andrea talking over him. He agrees with mike. Cutting bud fares down to $1. He didn’t talk about rent control

Ndp argument over rent controls. She says libs took it off deal duca says they didn’t. All rent controls need to be back. Bill 124. And it’s Speedo g into private sector strikes are caused by this.

Ford says they have done more housing starts in history. Ndp/libs jump in and say they aren’t affordable and who can buy them? Ford says he is getting unions to support PCs.

Green - he says that Ford’s own budget says they will be building 13000 fewer housing starts than last year and instead they are building highways and paving over farmland and wetlands.

Ford - you’d build nothing, mike says I’d buy transit, I’d build communities, housing. Del duca jumps in with a housing plan. It’s getting messy now.

Welcome to kindergarten again.

Kindergarten kids are better behaved.

Healthcare - libs - shocked when health minister would receive surgical backlog by getting private sector to catch up. Libs will clear the backlog with increased money. 100k healthcare in public system (impossible number. I’ll show soon)

Ndp - story. We need to clear the surgical backlog that existed even when ford became premiere absolutely agains private health care

Green - invest in people. When overworked and underpaid they are burning out. Put people before profits in LTC fund mental health as health in Ohip. Get rid of bill 124. #ilikemike

Pc - blah blah blah blah invest this hiring that blah blah.

Ndp vs. Lib Healthcare is in disarray because of years of being squeezed. Libs gave hallway medicinal and ford made so much worse. Heroes need to be paid not just mentioned. Need to hire foreign accredited healthcare workers. Get rid of. Bill 124.

Lib. Huge backlog of surgeries after COVID. We need a full plan. We can’t have something abstract. Talks about own family healthcare story. Lib plan invest $1b over 2 years to catch up mri/surgery/etc. ndp talks about long waitlists when you left office. Lib we aren’t in 2018

Ford vs mike. - hiring thousand of healthcare worker. Attacking libs - 2018 fired nurses. They will pay for nurses tuition. $5000 retention bonus PSW $3/hr Permanent. More nurses and doctors coming online.

Mike - have you talked to a nurse lately. How overworked and underpai. How callingbthem heroes and then putting bill 125 out. They deserve to have opp for fair wages. Have you looked someone in the eye who lost someone in LTC. So much passion here #ilikemike

Mike - we can better her we can put people before profits. Put. People first. #ilikemike

Ford - the pandemic was the most challenging time of his life. Inherited broken system. They didn’t get everything right. But they used the best medical advice he had available they will make sure it never happens again

Mike - we need to prepare for the next Crisi - that meets investing in people. We should be writing prescriptions for accessing housing. The most vulnerable bore a disproportionate burden during the pandemic.

Del duca - ford didn’t listen to science many times in pandemic. Ndp - she thinks about what happened in LTC. Especially for profit LTC. As they saw so much mistreatment and death.

Gren - new solutions to old problems. Invest in people. Especially those who need our care. Poverty. 33B a year is the cost to our healthcare system. We need affordable housing. They don’t have safe or affordable housing.

Lib - mixing private care with elder care is wrong. $1b over 2 years to clear back log. Repeal bill 124. Expand community health Centers. Ndp - we should have learned that we can’t fire nurses and doctors. Would have sick leave and small classes if she was in charge of COVID

Ndp - no iron ring. Ford - deal duca you don’t restock PPE and left us with almost nothing. Kudos to Ontario manufactures to get them. Libs - ontario has a great capacity to rise to challenge. But what did you reopen to early but keep kids from parks.

Ford - ya we made something mistakes and then we apologize and fix it and move on it’s so easy to criticize when you aren’t in power. Holy this went to a yelling fight.

Ndp - covid is still on so much effect on people mental health.

Education. Green - we need stability after 3 years. We need lower class sizes and no mandatory online learning. Investments of repair back log. No highways. Fix schools.

Ford. We changed the curiculm to add financial literacy. We are short 300k jobs because we don’t have the right skilled labour.

Lib - the ford has been worst in education. It hits home with his kids. He will add back grade 13.

Ndp - says mike is right (again) - kids and teachers protesting for better classes small class sizes etc.

Lib 1 my kids have struggled learning through screens we will get rid of that. Frontline teachers not supported. Issues with education began shortly after they took power. Rapid tests not available to public schools but available to private schools

Green - what have libs learned from when they were in power and so many schools closed while they were in Pierre teachers bargain rights were removed. We need to learn from pandemic and libs need to learn from the lack of investment while they were in power.

Libs it hits home. There were more schools at the end of their reign than beginning. They will repair schools by cancelling 413. Green - we will build strong public schools where kids will thrive.

Ford - more bs. Closed 600 schools? (Where does he get this crap?) hvac? (Schools are not job creators. They are there for kids to learn and develop. Your value is not in what job you have. Ugh. Sorry)

Ndp - sorry my rant made me miss most of this. They are glad skilled trades are being invested in schools.

Ford. Hiring more teachers building more schools. He wants them to have good skills to get a good job out of school. Ndp - they need teachers in the classroom and mental health and smaller class sizes. Ford cut too much.

Violence in schools - ndp. We have to have investments and supports and kids need needs met. (Autism lies about waitlist. Damnit - don’t associate autism with violence in class. This is wrong abelist crap. Do better Andrea. Ugh. )

I’m really angry with what @AndreaHorwath said associating autism and violence in schools. Our kids are the VICTIMs of violence way more. They need support and acceptance. Please do better for #Autistics. This was really really wrong. I’m angry but this Is not the first time.

Green - mental health in schools is significantly missing and kids shouldn’t wait more than 30 days.

Ndp - cuts to education who does this during a global pandemic. We all disagree.

Ford - go read our budget. We are investing more! (His budget shows reductions). Everyone is hiring because Building new schools.

Lib - I’ve listened to him talk tonight. Has he spoken to teachers students other educational workers because he doesn’t know about how they are recalling suffering. Your record on education ford is something you should be ashamed of. You sir have failed this province.

Ford Lecce is the best minister of education ever anywhere. Libs have destroyed the province.

Green - climate action is job action why isn’t ford fighting for that and why is he hostile. Cancelled renewable contracts. Retrofits were cuts. We could have ramped up jobs in the trades. Local food - paving over farmlands. Fee tuition firn60k in the green trades.

Ndp Under this gov we had a university that shut down because he wouldn’t fund them kids are more in debt because of their education.

Unity- ford pandemic taught us about working together mayors, premiers - he is t talking about working with other parties.

Green - we have to address the rising level of hate in our communities and the strife in our political parties. Mike worked to build things with other parties to get things done including our London family act to get passed.

Ndp - thanked mike (again) about the London family bill. Doesn’t know why PCs didn’t work on these things.

Lib - premier is responsible for trying to work together with all parties all groups to find common understanding. He appreciates the work of green and ndp on some of these issues but PCs nothing.

Lib - PCs should have had more meetings with opposition leaders especially during COVID. There needs to be nonpartisan committees to find ways of being involved people together.

Ndp - libs in the previous government did not work with ndp after numerous attempts over the years. There is a real issue with racism@ and hate. But ford defunded the anti racism directorate. No one should go into the mosque afraid that someone is going to attack.

Ndp - there is a real problem with racist dog whistles in politics. Lib - PCs really made things worse with what they did to anti racism directorate.

Green - the rising levels of hate and white supremacy is biggest problem. Will you support the our London family act yo address islamophoba. And will you bring back the anti racism directorate. Will you stop dismantling environment controls?

Pc - we will not tolerate racism of any kind. We are putting $M so they can be safe in their mosques. I’m not a partisan guy. At least mike is honest and upfront and wish they would rub off on the other two. You can put the political stripes behind him I can work with mike.

Leadership - fiscal. You are all planning to spending $B. Ndp - we will not raise taxes on mid to lower income families we will be responsible for gov treasury. Fox the things that are broken. Make sure people have good jobs that bills. I stand with everyday people

Ford - I’m a firm believer of putting tax money back in peoples pockets. That way people & business thrive. Build roads, highways and schools

Green - the COVID showed the cracks in Ontario. We need to fix hospitals education system. Wont put taxes o lower middle but will tax higher income so we can fix foundation.

Libs - we put out a responsible platform and will balance the budget in 2026. Balance moderation and responsibility.

Ford - climate we are at 96% clean energy. We are attracting $14b into EV industry. Mining in the north. Ndp - she says ford makes stuff up again. Ford tore up ev stations. And he is now for it. Ndp has green new deal. Great jobs and retrofits green youth corp

Lib - ford made a claim - they have no plan to make a clean energy. There will be a huge increase in use of fossil fuels under ford. Over pastb2 years ford attendance absent 82% of time. You’d get fired in private sector.

Green - climate is our biggest crisis and biggest opportunity. Gas plants will increase emissions green plan will make ev cars and bikes new & used affordable.

Ford - Delfina sold hydro. Del duca responds - 82% again. Mike - you are really going to defend big oil in the middle of climate emergency? DelDuca - ford is only one not realize he was premier for last 4 years.

Ndp - libs don’t want to talk about 2018 because they are now 7 seats. Del duca - every time you attack me doug ford smiles.

Mike - regret is first time I ran as leader I did not run in Guelph. Ford - I wish I had ran 4 years earlier. Del Duca - you don’t always listen really closely to what people in your local community as to what they need. Andrea - I don’t think of things in term of regret - (argh)

Ndp closing - all starts with defeating ford and vote for ndp and start fixing things. Lib closing - I know you are struggling and will get through it together. I will work for you. Pc closing - very clear choice. Anyb3 of these parties & they will make life a lot more expensive.

Gren closing - 1 MPP has done a lot. He needs more like Diane and Matt.

And we are done. Advance polls begin May 19. Election Day is June 2nd. Get out and vote!!! #elxn43
