🔥This is unprecedented. Tanner is at least the 8th GM of the city's shelter division during my career. While issues are systemic I have never seen this violation of human rights and disarray. Unhoused people deserve better.

I will acknowledge this day by sharing this brief passage from @BillyRayB’s brilliant novel A Minor Chorus

Health care is in crisis across the country, and here in Ontario @Fordnation has billions of dollars in reserve from underspending on care. What will it take for Ford to invest in our strained public health care system before it collapses!? #onpoli cbc.ca/news/health/ca…

Messages to Doug Ford

Maybe speak to your friend Galen Weston about the price gouging and price fixing of the big food chains? #Greedflation (while their profits skyrocket)

Doug Ford has flouted democratic principles for years. I'm supporting MPP Glover's motion to create an Ontario Democratic Charter of Rights twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The problem never was elderly patients, it is lack of staff. And the Ford government's wage cuts and lack of support are driving more and more HCWs to leave. thestar.com/politics/provi…

🧵: Victory and vindication for workers! Just a few hours ago, the Ontario Superior Court struck down Bill 124, the wage restraint legislation.

It's been just over two weeks since Suzette Mayr won the 2022 #ScotiabankGillerPrize for her novel THE SLEEPING CAR PORTER and we can't stop thinking about her beautiful acceptance speech. ❤️ #GillerPrize #CravingCanLit #CanLit

Rally on now. This strike is about building public education. Support the line on Monday

A good deal now! $39k is not enough
