Ontario's Minister of Emergency Preparedness went on CBC to answer questions about the wildfire response. Nine minutes in, she let her own staff jump in, live on air, and end the interview for her. Ontarians don't walk away when things get hard. Neither should Ford's ministers.

If you think this looks like a Zohran Mamdani fundraising video, you’d be right.

If you stepped outside today, that haze you're breathing is wildfire smoke. But the real story is up north, where it's coming from. Whole communities evacuated. Families fleeing by boat. Collins First Nation burned to the ground. For most of us, it'll clear in a few days. For the people up north... it's their homes. Their communities. Their lives. And it didn't have to be this way. It's the result of choices made by governments that keep looking away.

Hey everybody...I'm in Thunder Bay today to listen. Right now, there are so many families from in hotel rooms here, waiting to find out what comes next. I've spent the past week calling on the Ford government to act. Today is about listening. I'm visiting the donation centre supporting Whitesand First Nation, meeting with evacuees and wildland firefighters, and this afternoon I'll be standing with the Chiefs as they speak to the country. What happened here can never be allowed to happen again. The people living through this know exactly what they need, and I'm going to make sure their stories are front and centre.

Okay, I can't let this one go. These OPSEU workers came to Ford Fest after being denied meeting after meeting. They care for our most vulnerable, and they're owed wages Ford took under Bill 124. His response? He literally erased them from the picture to make them look like supporters.

Doug Ford mocked students for taking “basket-weaving courses” and blowing OSAP money on “luxury watches and colognes.” A new report shows less than 1% of OSAP funds were misused. Less. Than. 1%. He invented a crisis to cut student aid – then pulled $30 million from people’s pockets to buy himself a luxury private jet. I’ll keep fighting this government until the cuts to OSAP are reversed.

BREAKING: General Motors is bending the knee to Donald Trump by announcing massive layoffs in Oshawa. GM took hundreds of millions in subsidies from Ontario taxpayers and made a $10 billion profit in North America last year. Built on the backs of Oshawa workers. Here's what needs to happen: Doug Ford needs to stand up to GM. Demand accountability for those subsidies. And fight for a future where if companies want to sell cars here, they build them here.

Doug Ford, it’s time that your government reverses the Keffiyeh ban.

In a province as big as Ontario, there’s no reason a transit project like the Eglinton LRT should be on its 15th year of construction with no opening date in sight. I stopped by Little Jamaica to see for myself the real impact of these delays: 300+ businesses closing and a community that was once thriving now struggling. The project is now expected to cost double what was initially projected. And Metrolinx has 118 VPs getting paid an average of $243,000 a year. 118. That’s not a typo. Doug Ford’s government has wasted billions while communities like Little Jamaica bear the cost. The Eglinton LRT has become a case study of what NOT to do if you want to build transit.

Doug Ford's tsunami of cuts are hitting hospitals all across the province. Fewer nurses on every shift. Longer waits. Patients paying the price. It doesn't have to be this way. In Manitoba, Wab Kinew's NDP government legislated nurse-to-patient ratios and it's working. We've introduced the same thing here and the Conservatives keep voting it down. Our Shadow Health Minisiter France Gélinas is bringing it back this fall – and we're going to need your help to pass it.
