LIVE Official Opposition NDP Leader Andrea Horwath responds after the Ford government’s announcement. #ONpoli #COVID19ON

When it comes to PSWs and the people they care for, Doug Ford has never wanted to spend the money or time not even to record a new video once a year. For #PSWDay2021 and every day, PSWs deserve better. In 2022, let’s fire Doug Ford & give it to them. https://www.ontariondp.ca/resign-ford

COVID-19 has taken thousands of lives away from us. Ontarians deserve justice, accountability, and action. That's why we're demanding a full inquiry into Ford's response. Demand a full inquiry here: www.ontariondp.ca/full-inquiry

Official Opposition NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is joined by NDP Tenant Rights critic Jessica Bell to discuss Ontario’s re-opening

"Halima, who asked to be identified by her first name only, has managed to keep a roof over her head by cutting back on groceries. As a part-time worker, she has no benefits and no paid sick days." Care workers deserve better, full stop.

Ford still hasn’t distanced himself from his friend Charles McVety’s hateful and harmful track record. Support our motion to demand the Premier stand with the communities of Ontario, and stop supporting hate through McVety and his college.

This weekend we started our candidate nominations for the next elections - and we're equipped to win. Congratulations to York South-Weston's Faisal Hassan NDP for being our first candidate officially nominated.

In a province like Ontario, secure and affordable housing should be the standard. Yet our housing market is pushing people out of their neighbourhoods, putting renters at risk of unfair evictions, and creating chronic homelessness in our communities. Our Homes You Can Afford plan will make housing work for everyone.

Long-term care homes in Canada have been devastated by this pandemic. And while other provinces have learned from the first wave and started preparing for the second - Quebec started an ambitious hiring program in June, British Columbia announced funds for 7,000 new staff in early September - Ontario has been all talk and little action.

Turning our ambitious plans, like the Green New Democratic Deal, into reality take a lot of support. For a limited time your support can bag you exclusive gear that highlights our vision for a better Ontario. Orders close Sunday, and are 50% tax deductible or more. ontariondp.ca/merch

Today, on Trans Day of Remembrance, we are holding space for all of the trans folk who cannot access the health care they need. We're committed to providing full coverage for gender affirmation surgeries, transition drugs, and PrEP so that LGBTQ+ Ontarians can receive health care promptly.

Ontario has set new, horrifying records in COVID cases this week. Our Premier was caught lying about listening to health experts and pushing forward with a dangerous plan. We deserve better from this government.

Tomorrow we have the opportunity to legislate minimum standards of care in long-term care homes - the first time ever in Ontario. It has never been more important to make sure the Ontario NDP's Time To Care act is passed. Add your name to support Bill 13:

"I will not stop until these families get justice" This is what Doug Ford said when the devastating revelations of long-term care were released. Instead, he's protecting the negligent operators from families seeking justice.

Local restaurants need every support available. Delivery apps take cuts up to 30% away from small businesses, and out of the local economy. Support a cap on delivery app fees that cut into struggling restaurants’ tight margins.

"We have heard that long-term care homes were forgotten in the initial provincial plans to control the spread of COVID-19 until residents started dying, and pleas that this not be repeated when this crisis is over" We are in a second wave and still, the Ford government is moving too slowly. We're bringing the #TimeToCare Act to Queen's Park on Wednesday, it is crucial that it passes.

For months Ontarians have been asking for rent relief, paid sick days, supports for Ontarians with disabilities, small business supports, smaller classrooms and more. Instead of these, in a series of Bills meant to be about COVID-19 his government is making back room deals to advance their own agenda and help out their friends. We are in a pandemic, Ontarians deserve the supports they've been asking for, preventing municipalities from using ranked ballots and granting favours for noted bigots like Charles McVety under the guise of 'pandemic response' is harmful and disgraceful.

Students and staff COVID-19 cases continue to rise under Ford and Lecce's dangerous back to school plan. Add your name to demand smaller, safer classrooms immediately: https://www.ontariondp.ca/cap-all-classes
