"Doug Ford's government spent $2.1 million promoting its Ontario Place redevelopment last year, as part of a total $9.38 million advertising spend by the tourism ministry.
Across four ministries, we’ve now uncovered more than $65 million in taxpayer-funded advertising." - Tina Yazdani, Journalist

The Premier Who Would Be Mayor - Doug Ford - is sticking his oar in where it shouldn’t be again.
Now expropriating Billy Bishop Airport with no limitations set for jet size. That should be popular with all those multi-million dollar condo users along the lake.
But priorities, people - folks from distant places elsewhere will be able to get to his chum’s Nordic spa at the former Ontario Place.

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT INTRODUCES BILL 33, CONCERNS RAISED
On May 29, the Ontario government introduced Bill 33 to legislation.
The Bill offers more power to the premier’s office over school boards while tightening oversight of children’s aid societies, colleges and universities.
The Supporting Children and Students Act, 2025, Bill 33, would amend four major laws—including the Education Act and the Child, Youth and Family Services Act.
First, Bill 33 introduces new administrative and fiscal oversight measures for children’s aid societies, such as providing information about the Ombudsman to children and youth, reviewing by-laws and making them available to the public, obtaining ministerial approval for financial decisions that impact approved budgets, and expanding the definition of “institution” to include maternity homes.
It also makes changes to the residing Education Act, where there will be more ministerial oversight and new cooperation requirements for Ontario school boards, with requirements such as: submitting to increased ministerial authority, where the education minister has more supremacy to investigate school boards, issue binding directives to the public and establish guidelines on board expenses.
Other requirements include obtaining ministerial approval for the name of a new school or changing the name of an existing school, collaborating with police services on school programming, and implementing internal audits conducted by the ministry to enhance financial accountability.
Scott Miller, director of education for the Waterloo Region District School Board, said the board will continue to work with local police and the community if the legislation passes.
“The Waterloo Region District School Board [WRDSB] prioritizes safe, inclusive and welcoming learning environments for all students,” Miller said. “As a school board, we work closely with the Waterloo Regional Police Service [WRPS] to support the safety and well-being of WRDSB school communities. Bill 33 is still under review but if the bill is passed, we will continue to engage thoughtfully with our community partners, staff, students, parents and families to ensure decisions reflect the needs and values of WRDSB school communities.”
Beyond K-12 schools, the bill also targets Ontario’s colleges and universities.
The Bill amends the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities Act, focusing on admissions practices, research security and fee regulations. They plan to implement publicly accessible, merit-based admission standards, with details to be defined through regulation, develop and implement research security plans to safeguard and mitigate the risk of harm to or interference with research activities, and comply with government regulations regarding ancillary student fees, which may restrict fee structures and affect funding for student services.
The Ministry of Colleges and Universities also received a new name: the Ministry of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security. This change, along with the new requirements for colleges and universities to develop and implement research security plans, reflects heightened governmental focus on research security.
“At this point, the university, along with our Ontario post-secondary education peers, is closely monitoring the legislative discussion of the proposed Bill 33 and its potential impacts on universities,” Aonghus Kealy, Communications and Media Relations Officer at Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) said.
Bruce Gillespie, President of the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA), emphasized that there are more risks involved in this bill than benefits.
“It centralizes control over admissions, enables ministerial directives for research security, and broadens authority over student fees,” Gillespie said. “Universities already publish admission standards and safeguard research; layering new directives and fee controls adds red tape and cost without fixing chronic underfunding.”
He added that the bill will burden staff and students at post-secondary institutions such as WLU.
“It increases compliance workload and puts student-funded services at risk, while the real issue-operating funding—goes unaddressed,” Gillespie said.
He also explains that if provincial rules destabilize student-funded services (from peer supports to transit and campus media), the unmet need doesn’t disappear; it shows up in classrooms and office hours. Faculty across ranks, and especially contract faculty, will end up doing more informal advising, crisis triage and support with fewer resources.
Gillespie said he opposed the bill, arguing it undermines the autonomy of admissions and fees, risks weakening equity initiatives, and expands oversight that bypasses normal scrutiny, without improving teaching, research, or student supports. He hopes that Bill 33 will either remove or substantially amend the bill to protect equity-based admissions in statute, avoid fee controls that destabilize student services, and provide transparent, consultative research-security guidance.
“On governance, the province should explicitly preserve Senate authority over academic matters and commit to meaningful consultation with students, not just anonymous surveys,” Gillespie said.
As Bill 33 moves through legislative debate, its impact on Ontario’s education and child welfare systems remains a central concern for educators, administrators and policymakers alike.

#DougFord & the #ProvincialConservative's fake Canada Day message is a joke. Don't spew your 2-faced patriotism when you sell out #Canadian crown lands to an unwanted 95-year lease to a foreign country. Hypocrites, all of them.

@Windspeaker #DougFord, leader of the #MostCorruptGovernmentInTheHistoryOfCanada tries to circumvent the law. Taking a page out of the playbook of #donald? Thinking that the #ABDanielleSmith fiasco will distract from his trying to override Treaties, a covenant between First Nations and the Crown? And of course, #CdnMedia, 2/3 owned by an American billionaire, does not care about anything but furthering his own republican agenda, which does not include advocating for Canadians or First Nations!

@Trillium Right! #DougFord is so conscientious, he will triple check the 95-yr lease he already signed with #Therme to make sure he dotted all the “i’s” before allowing #OntarioPlace to be decimated.

@mike One man’s opinion….. I don’t think Carney needed to throw out sound bites or match the #PP slick slogan, glib pronouncements attitude. Informed and concerned Canadians know the dangers facing us and recognize that Carney has the presence, the intellect and the experience to see us through this. He has also demonstrated his ability to stand up to #donald without the need for a #DougFord bully stance or the #PP and #ABDanielleSmith kowtowing. #VoterApathy is the danger.

@LexyCameron And still yet to come. #DougFord has destroyed #OntarioPlace to make way for another Therme spa fiasco.

Under our so called #Democracy #DougFord is close to an absolute ruler for 4 years. In reality there are no democracies. They are all #Oligarchies or worse. I think he is laughing while he is sticking it to us and his rich cronies will make sure he and his family will be well taken care of after he leaves politics. Like most politicians. Why is Brian Malrunnée not behind bars. By the way - another #Con!

“Ontario's AG reveals Premier Doug Ford directed Housing Minister Steve Clark to conduct “swaps, expansions, contractions and policy updates” related to the Greenbelt. Developers then had direct influence over which lands were removed.
Developers had direct influence over #Ontario Greenbelt land removal, ... The explosive report from Bonnie Lysyk into the government's dealings with developers comes after a six-month investigation.”
