Millions from Ontario training funding went to dentists’ brokerage with ties to then-labour minister’s wife Dentacloud received more than $2 million through the Ford government’s Skills Development Fund

This just keeps getting worse. The Ford government gave $2 million to a dental brokerage run by a PC donor connected to the minister’s family.

Doug Ford’s Skills Development Fund keeps looking more like a friends-and-family plan.💰 #onpoli

Eby - BC is leading 🇨🇦 with major opportunities to deliver prosperity to all of Canada.
We have billions worth of private sector & First Nations led projects, that are ready to go and will create thousands of jobs.
Alberta’s fictional bitumen pipeline achieves none of these things. #cdnpoli

“The stunt driving records come after Global News revealed minister vehicles had also been caught by automated speed cameras 23 times in the past three years, including going 70 in a 40 zone in one place.”

30 km/h OVER IN A SCHOOL ZONE, near retirement home or a park.

Time to recap what Doug Ford supports:

- easy access to booze
- an end to speed cameras in school zones
- no trustees or livestreaming of school board meetings
- funneling Skills Ontario money to PC insiders

Ontario - we deserve so much better. #onpoli #onted

Watching the inevitable critics of Carney's performance with Trump today, I am reminded of the two bits of advice I used to give clients: Don't antagonize people who can inflict serious harm on you. Don't start fights with crazy people. There are other routes to success than confrontation. #cdnpoli

Now you know why!
A number of vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have racked up a combined $3,300 in automated speed camera fines.
The data comes as the Ford government looks to eliminate the use of speed enforcement cams. #cdnpoli

Hi, it's Lisa Desjardins ( @lisad.bsky.social ), PBS News’ Capitol Hill correspondent.

Did you know we have a weekly politics newsletter? It's called Here's the Deal.

It's an email rooted in some basic beliefs: Complicated can still be clear. And, chaos can be understood.

Just another CONservative scamming Canadian taxpayers. Hasn’t done anything remotely useful during his entire 20-year career in politics.

Investigate this abuse of taxpayer dollars. Actions have consequences. Fiscal CONservative my eye 🙄
