## Resource

While we face growing threats from Trump and his authoritarian regime in Alberta and across Canada, we cannot overlook the peril right here in Ontario. Premier Doug Ford represents a troubling Canadian version of Trump, as he aggressively takes control of our regions and school boards, and even pushes to commandeer the Toronto Island Airport. His retroactive ban on freedom of information requests, dating back to 1988, is a blatant attempt to silence transparency and accountability. Ford’s numerous scandals have only served to enrich his network of friends, the so-called Gravy Class, exemplified by the infamous Gravy Plane scandal. This is not just politics; it’s an assault on democracy and our rights. Join MPP Tyler Watt from Nepean and host Laura Babcock for an urgent and inspiring conversation about how we can take action. It’s time to #FireFord! We need to galvanize civic engagement using both traditional and modern tools to oust the PC Party in the next election. Let’s unite and make our voices heard by voting Province Over Party. Don’t miss out on this critical discussion filled with actionable tips and pro-democracy insights.
