From NDP MPP Wayne Gates:
We have crises in health care, affordability, & education across the province - but Doug Ford has recessed the legislature until October.
He thinks he deserves a four month long summer break. I think we should be here, working for the people of Ontario.
Shameful.
From Clare Blackwood (actor/writer/satirist):
Doug Ford announcing a 19 week vacation the day before the TTC strikes and shuts down Ontario’s largest city is just stunning honestly
Yeah, Ontario, we told you he was corrupt, we told you he only cares about money, not nearly enough people listened. Like the Sue Medley song goes... "Maybe the next time..."

Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something. Because #DemocracyIsSomethingYouDo...
Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman's links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer. Also write to Veterans Affairs Minister, Ginette Petitpas-Taylor to request our government do more for our veterans
If you live in New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, or British Columbia, why not look into what you can do to help with the upcoming elections by either supporting a candidate or working at a polling station.
With the current strain on our health care professionals, do the right neighbourly thing to keep our hospitals unclogged and be sure to get your summer COVID boosters. Also check whether you are up to date on your MMR vaccinations.
Finally, support your fellow Canadians by donating to the Red Cross Wildfire Response.
