Pierre Poilievre’s victory is NOT inevitable. There’s still a narrow but possible path to defeat him and stop his agenda—one that will harm millions while benefiting the wealthiest few. SIX ideas on defeating his agenda: 🧵

So… apparently Ontario residents are paying $400 per household to subsidize an expensive spa that most of us will never use. I’m SO NOT OKAY with this. How many Educational Assistants could we provide to vulnerable children with complex needs for this money in #OntEd?!?

A huge congratulations are in order for the 10k #LCBO workers who organized a first ever strike & fought back against a bully govt who undermined them every step of the way. This deal is a testament to the sheer strength of solidarity - organizing for power gets the goods! ✊🏻

Solidarity with @OPSEU workers ✊🏾Day 2 in #Scarborough was 🔥 Spirits were high and the honks in support from the community was amazing! One customer joined the line immediately when he heard about @fordnation attempts to privatize the LCBO. #scarbto #SupportLCBOWorkers #onpoli

Doug Ford is responsible for the 1st ever strike by LCBO Workers. An alcohol system that generates $2.5 Billion in annual revenue should have never gotten here. Contact your @OntarioPCParty MPP including @fordnation to let them know that you support the LCBO and its workers.

From day 1 these workers showed up with a plan for convenience that wouldn’t jeopardize our public services, & what did @fordnation say? Hell no. When you wake up to a picket line in your community, remember: #LCBO workers are fighting for the future of Ontario. Come join us!

So happy for this crew! 👏🏾

Solidarity ✊🏾

Doug Ford’s government appealed our 2019 Court decision that gave tens of thousands of women access to pay equity. Ford lost that appeal in 2021, and then was denied a 2nd appeal, this time by the Supreme Court. Stop fighting against working women; allow access to #PayEquityNow

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: I STAND WITH TORONTO TRANSIT WORKERS. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/i-stan… #TTC workers do so much for us every single day. Please take a minute to send a message. It will take a minute or less! They deserve a good deal ✊🏾 #TOpoli #onlab

The power of the people! They hear our demands loud & clear. The CAD gov’t, who shamefully cut off UNRWA funding, the leading relief agency in Gaza, making it complicit in the deliberate starvation of 2.3M Palestinians, is now reinstating funding. Keep using your voices, keep showing up. Join the movement until every one of our demands is met.

Very sad news that @OurTimesMag is closing. "Our Times was founded in 1981 by Frank Lento and Katie Pellizzari and friends as an alternative media for first-generation Italian-Canadian social activists in Toronto." ourtimes.ca/article/urgent…

Celebrating our member Tunika (Grace) Udoh for #BlackHistoryMonth !

The last time @UNRWA was able to deliver food aid to northern #Gaza was on 23 January. Since then, together with other @UN agencies, we have: 🛑 Warned against looming famine. 🛑 Appealed for regular humanitarian access. 🛑 Stated that famine can be averted if more food convoys are allowed into northern Gaza on a regular basis. Our calls to send food aid have been denied & have fallen on deaf ears. This is a man made disaster. The world committed to never let famine happen again. Famine can still be avoided, through genuine political will to grant access & protection to meaningful assistance. The days to come will once again test our common humanity and values.

Summer 2024: Calls for Vendors, Organizations and Entrepreneurs! Showcase your services at one of the farmers' markets happening right here in #Malvern.

The youth of today were born awake- they are fuelled by a desire to see a liberated Palestine, from the river to the sea! #T4P

More and more nurses are leaving their jobs every year since @FordNation Conservative government took office. Ford is boasting he’s hired 60,000 nurses—but at least 35,000 have left since 2018. Ford’s band-aid solution to the nurse staffing crisis isn’t working. #onpoli #onhealth
