@mlangester Don’t block them! It’s people with so much hate in their heart that bully children that need to hear it. If it’s a pile of shit it’s their mess not yours!

Who knew suggesting we not bully a little girl would make my mentions into a hot pile of dog shit on a thanksgiving holiday Monday.

@BeechingTyler @mlangester Thank you :) Have a wonderful thanksgiving!

@MelanieOCYA @mlangester Look here, the stupidest thing I’ll see all day!

It’s pretty disgusting how some Albertans are talking about a 16 year old kid.

@mlangester Kids are a lot smarter then most of us give them credit for. If they could vote the world would definitely be a better place.

@mlangester Agreed! I have two daughters and one is a teenager.I worry about them in this sea of hate that has been created by fight back politics.The posts saying she’s being controlled by adults must have never raised a teenager.The adults are the ones being controlled by politics.

@PhilCarlton4 Thanks you Phil and the Network for bringing everyone together! Lots of great connections and work to celebrate!

This is appalling. Beware those who think populist government is about the people and for the people

Axing of provincial child advocate role called dangerous, deplorable. More on the implications of losing Ontario's #ChildAdvocate here: thestar.com/news/gta/2018/… via @torontostar @OntarioAdvocate

On Nov 20, we will celebrate National Child Day in honour of the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This year's theme is a child's right to an identity. #NCD2018 #righttoanidentity #nationalchildday #childrenhaverights @NatlChildDay #BuildingStrongFamilies

2/2 Yet now that @MacLeodLisa is Minister of Children, where is her voice in defending the most vulnerable children of the province? The decision to repeal the Provincial Child Advocate's Act is an egregious violation of children's rights and must be stopped @OntarioAdvocate

In the wake of the Ontario government's decision to close the office of the Ontario Child Advocate's office, it's important to recall @MacLeodLisa's statement in strong support of the advocate's office when she was in opposition. 1/2 #PARA695" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ola.org/en/legislative… … @OntarioAdvocate

The actions by the Ontario government to close the office of the Child Advocate must be stopped. Call the Premier and your MLA and speak up for kids! #OntarioAdvocate #YouHaveAVoice #childrenfirst @OntarioAdvocate @children1stca @childrenrights #onpoli
