Doug Ford should give a huge thank-you to the @OntLiberal party for helping to ensure this victory for his second majority tonight.
@StevenDelDuca campaigned hard against the @OntarioNDP right to the very end.

I had a hunch that this was going on when I saw all the calls for strategic votingâwhich often just confuses progressively minded voters.
Small-C, conservative-lite, Liberals, will nver solve the problems created by big-C Conservatives.

Consider: of those who thought Ford was a great/good/OK premier, 13%/10%/33% of respondents were Liberal voters.

When it comes to preventing homelessness and supporting unhoused people in Ontario, âweâve known what the solutions are for a very long time,â says @JesseJenkinson (@MAP_Health). âItâs just whether or not anyoneâs going to finally do something about it.â #OnElxn #OnPoli [1/9]
The pandemic exacerbated homelessness but things were bad before. A 2021 Statistics Canada study concluded homelessness in Ontario has been worsening over time, affecting younger cohorts, and shifting to smaller but rapidly growing municipalities. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82-003-⌠[2/9]
.@AbeOudshoorn (@WesternU) says the increase in homelessness came as pre-2018 progress slowed and organizations ran out of capacity to re-house people. Simultaneously, the housing market took off, making it hard to find affordable housing. [3/9]
How many ways has Doug Fordâs government reshaped Ontarioâs environmental landscape over the past four years? Weâve counted 32. đ thenarwhal.ca/doug-ford-onta⌠#onpoli #ONelxn
1. The PCs prevented Ontarians from weighing in on policy by failing to follow the Environmental Bill of Rights
2. Slashed funding for Indigenous conservation efforts and other environmental initiatives
3. Accelerated plans for two highways through the Greenbelt

đď¸đĄIn recognition of rapidly rising rents, the four major parties in Ontario are promising some big changes for renters, including rent control and vacancy control. I talked to two housing experts about what impact those policies could have. #OnPoli #OnElxn [1/7]
Ontario units built pre-2018 are subject to rent control, meaning landlords can raise rent by only a set amount each year (typically between 0.5 and 3 per cent). However, landlords can apply to make "above-guideline increases" to recover costs. [2/7]
@ScottLeonTO (@wellesleyWI) and @NemoyL (@TorontoMet) says AGIs can help keep units in good repair, but can also lead to unaffordable increases. Leon suggests policy options such as grants to help repairs while keeping rents affordable (more on that in the article). [3/7]
đ§ľAt last night's Debate, Doug Ford was directly asked by @MikeSchreiner whether he would support Bill 86 (tabled by the NDP)-London Family Act-to fight Islamophobia and racist hate, notably, by the creation of an Anti-Racism Advisory and Advocacy Council. No response. #ONelxn
The Act developed after a the killing of a London, Ontario family last June. It also calls for a ban on Queen's Park protests that fuel racist, homophobic, transphobic or xenophobic hate, and prevent white supremacy groups from registering as societies. Ford diverted, saying...
that he has helped fund security outside mosques, after the meaningless statement: "there is no room for racism in Ontario." This is nothing without legislative action. #AntiRacism
We've seen the polls. Remember, those are almost always *province wide* polls.
We don't need to win province wide; we just need to win our ridings. And to do that, all we need to do is #UniteTheVote
But that means getting organized. Here's a thread𧾠of ways you can help:

First and foremost, if you're in #Toronto, you can pledge to #UniteTheVote behind the candidate best positioned to beat Ford's Conservatives in your riding.

Once again @StevenDelDuca giving us empty words after saying âtime for more action & less wordsâ.
No actual strategy or plan, just bashing @fordnation & the rapid test bias.
Make the connection, Del Duca⌠Black students are in structurally worse schools? #onelxn #onpoli

If I was asked to design an election process that would guarantee low levels of participation, I would include ten simple elements. First, I'd hold the election in the middle of the work week, unlike the dozens of countries that hold elections on a weekend or holiday. #Onelxn
2. I'd use a voting system that prevents new voices from emerging. That way, you might see only three parties electing seats in the legislature during a period of sixty years, essentially boring everyone into a state of apathy. #ONelxn
3. I'd make sure that legislative power was entirely centralised in the Executive branch. If everyone knows their representative has no real power and that each legislator's vote is whipped in parliament, that would likely reduce turnout. #OnElxn
I mean...jfc
Bears worth repeating that this photo exists, and that this is the company Doug Ford has been happy to keep.
1/2M living in ON donât qualify for OHIP b/c they are not permanent residents or Cdn citizens: their âfreeâ healthcare would cost ON taxpayers ~$2.5B/yr under NDPâs âsanctuary provinceâ & $Billions/yr more from influx once ON opens borders for âfree medical tourismâ. 1/3

Why are none of these $BILLIONS needed to make ON a âsanctuary provinceâ not costed in @OntarioNDPâs policy platform?
This will be a significant burden on our existing #ONHealth Crisis, esp as our senior popân is projected to grow by >68% over next 20yrs. 2/3

These $Billions are in addition to $7Billion math mistake already found in NDP platform
Patient care in ON is already significantly rationed to pay our existing $1B/mth interest on ONâs massive $350B debt. Iâm fearful for the future of #ONHealth 3/3

Went to an open house in my son's grade one classroom today (Ontario public school). We watched and participated as the teacher took the class through a math lesson. I have some thoughts. #onpoli #onelxn #ldnont
This morning, my team and I installed the first lawn sign of this 2018 election campaign in VaughanâWoodbridge!

I have been so lucky to reside in Vaughan for many years with my family. When I consider the things that we are investing in, I personally think about my daughters and other Vaughan families that I have been so honoured to represent.
I want to make sure they have the same degree of opportunity, if not more than I had growing up. The truth of the matter is that we have delivered positive results by listening to the community and by working together.
