NEW: The Ford government is routinely making decisions before environmental consultations have concluded and under-resourcing public education about those consultations, the auditor general has found in her annual report. #OnPoli

This new Ontario SDF scandal is not to be confused with last month's Ontario SDF scandal, around career colleges
A web showing how... Faith Chipman, wife of the Minister of Labour, is a lobbyist for Career Colleges Ontario to secure money for PSW (personal support worker) training, which was granted Kate Bartz, wife of Monte McNaughton, the former Ontario Minister of Labour, is Executive Director of Career Colleges Ontario Natalia Kusendova-Bastha, avid member of a church in Mississauga that partnered with Mississauga Career College and received $4 million in grants for PSW training

The Skills Development Fund deserves to be the big hot scandal of the moment.

An auditor general's report found that MORE THAN HALF of the time, the Ontario Doug Ford government overrode higher-scoring applicants to give grants to lower-scoring applicants who had ties to the Conservatives

Here's the latest in "every person in the Ontario government is corrupt as hell" news
Simple chart showing that: David Piccini, Ontario Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development is married to Faith Chipman, a lobbyist and Faith Chipman specifically lobbied Piccini's office and Piccini gave a $900,000 Skills Development Fund grant to a company in Alberta called Technology North Corp and Chipman is a lobbyist for Technology North Corp

Who here remembers the Liar Doug Ford's first election campaign as leader? I do. At the time he was promising to "end hallway medicine", a thing I was, and remain, too familiar with. Still, I didn't vote for him because I always knew he was a lying sack of shit.

"Ontario recorded the highest number of wait-list deaths: 10,634, including more than 9,100 diagnostic-scan deaths where patients died before reaching the point of receiving or being scheduled for surgery."

I guess it's not "hallway healthcare" if you never make it to the hospital hallway.

Regulations Carney has ended, never mind Smith wants/says:
~ending consumer carbon pricing,
~ending energy efficiency retrofit programs,
~ending the proposed oil and gas cap,
~pausing EV mandates,
~loosen anti-greenwashing rules

Plus - power to override enviro regs & FN to build major projects

For an “AI-powered valuation tool ensures (dentists) know what (their) practice is worth & our extensive network of dental service organizations, private equity, dental partnership organizations & individual buyers means you’ll receive competitive offers quickly.”

$3.8 million tax payer $ #Corrupt
Maggirias was also a part of a “dental roundtable” that Ford arranged to chat with on June 10, 2024, according to the premier’s calendars and other records. Dentacloud was awarded the taxpayer-funded grant by former labour minister Monte McNaughton’s office. At the time, Maggirias worked closely with McNaughton’s wife as part of another organization that they were both involved with, as The Trillium previously reported. Kate Bartz, McNaughton’s wife, previously said in an email that she “never discussed the Skills Development Funding program and I never advocated on behalf of any recipient at any time.” Ford replaced McNaughton with David Piccini when the former labour minister left cabinet and elected politics in the fall of 2023. Piccini’s office then extended another $3.8 million in SDF funding to Dentacloud. The company ultimately declined the latter grant, however. Kwan, Dentacloud’s COO, said the company “decided to focus on other strategic priorities and did not take the funding.”
