From 12:01 through til morning, MPPs will be debating #Bill31. Unlikely any PC MPPs will speak, so opposition will keep debate from collapsing. To the folks from Durham Region, send me your unanswered letters. I'll read 'em to your MPPs. jfrench-qp@ndp.on.ca #notwithstanding

Doug Ford's #Bill31 wag the dog distraction #2: Doug Ford stops finance regulators from banning mutual funds that hurt investors. It appears that for the people means allowing dangerous and hard to understand investment products. For the rich. #onpoli ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…

While Doug Ford is distracting Ontarians with #Bill31, he just cut $22.7-million in new money earmarked for fee subsidies for low-income families. Who knew that for the people meant only the rich? The rest of us are f**ked. #onpoli #cdnmedia

"By working overnight on behalf of the people, we are sending an important message," Premier Doug Ford told the legislature around 6:15 a.m. "We will do whatever it takes to get the job done." #ONpoli #Bill31 thestar.com/news/queenspar…

More items agreed & enacted than any other gov’t? What the what?: Is Toronto council inefficient? Maybe not compared to other levels of government thestar.com/news/toronto-e… via @torontostar #TOpoli #onpoli #Bill31 #Bill5 #NotwithstandingClause

If you’re interested in why the Legislature is not sitting today (given the rush to pass #Bill31) so that MPPs can attend the annual Plowing Match, follow my colleague @fitzpatrick_m (I’m staying put today.) twitter.com/fitzpatrick_m/…

Huge line to get into Queen's Park for the midnight second reading of #Bill31, the revamp of #Bill5 that includes the #NotWithStandingClause, that allows the government to override a judges decision. #ONpoli, follow @robertbenzie for updates! pic.twitter.com/q627IBuhlw

It’s time the association representing Ontario municipalities realized that what Premier Doug Ford is doing is about far more than the size of Toronto council. #ONpoli #TOpoli #Bill31 #Editorial thestar.com/opinion/editor…

In an alternative universe, Queen's Park rose today--at a less ungodly hour--as Premier Andrea Horwath passed into law universal dental-care coverage.
In our own timeline, we're up at 2am dealing with an attack on local democracy
Let's get it right in 2022, folks! #Bill31

The gradual erosion of local representation.
1994: 96 councillors, including Metro Council
1997: 56 councillors
2000: 44
2018: 25

Protesters chant "Let us in" as people that were in the public gallery leave after the gallery was cleared during the second reading of #Bill31, a slightly different version of #Bill5 that includes the #NotwithstandingClause. #onpoli pic.twitter.com/CP7kMRkHz9

Now that a higher court has reversed the first ruling, will those who demanded that Ford respect the courts follow their own advice? I have my doubts.

How many millions of dollars in outside legal costs, travel costs for MPPs, overtime for Queen's Park staff and security, overtime and salary for political staffers, etc have Ontario taxpayers spent to save Toronto taxpayers $25 million? #Bill31 #onpoli

Premier @fordnation & our @OntarioPCParty Caucus spent the campaign consulting Ontarians face to face. They told us they wanted smaller, more affordable gov't that works for them. That's what we promised and we're delivering it with the Efficient Local Gov't Act #onpoli #Bill31 pic.twitter.com/tkcFnw3G86

While you were sleeping: Ontario's MPPs spent seven hours debating the Doug Ford government's #Bill31, which would override a court decision and cut the size of Toronto city council, just weeks before municipal election day. #onpoli

For the sake of consistency, I'm sure we'll see @fordnation appeal today's decision on #Bill5 because this judge was also appointed and not elected. Right? #ForThePeople #bill31 #dougford
