Hey @WalmartCanada. Your seller sent me the wrong mattress. I have a physical disability. I have nowhere to sleep. I’m being told to wait 2-3 days for the seller to respond. This is a medical hardship. Why are you forcing a person with a physical disability to sleep on the floor?

Earlier this week, my friend’s autistic and Jewish child had to walk past police officers to access his youth program hosted at a local synagogue. The synagogue was being protested. It’s in my neighbourhood.
Any sort of protest outside of a special needs centre is particularly vile.
How much longer are we going to tolerate this filth, Canada?

Minister Parsa,
Every single letter I’ve written to the Ministry of Children, Community & Social Services since 2019 has been ignored.
My child is currently living 5 hours away from us in Mississauga since Nov 3rd 2024 in a Foster Care facility.
WE ARE IN CRISIS! @MichaelParsa

🚨 JEWISH MUM ATTACKED AT TORONTO DAYCARE
A mum was waiting for her child at a Chabad daycare. And BOOM! A man punches her in broad daylight — and runs off.
Police have provided his picture.
He's allegedly canvassed the daycare the past week.
WE MUST IDENTIFY HIM. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY.
Amsterdam isn't coming to Canada. It's in Canada.

'”Ontario parents are surrendering their children to the province, not because they've abused or neglected them, but because they cannot find the services and support they need to keep them safe at home.”
This is the darkest timeline.

We got a breakdown of autism program spending through an FOI request. $307 million (less than half) of what the govt spent on the program last year went to core services. $58.9 million went to urgent response services. More here via @Thetrilliumca

Today marks the 33rd birthday of Shiri Bibas.
This is that last known photo of the mother of two.
On Oct 7th she was kidnapped from her home and dragged outside whilst surrounded by dozens of Hamas terrorists.
She was seen on video pleading with Hamas not to harm her two children and desperately clutching them in her arms.
She was dragged to Gaza with her sons Kfir, who was 8 months at the time and Ariel, 4.
As she turns 33 today, she has spent the last 198 days of her life in captivity- living in harrowing conditions in the tunnels of Gaza.
Her husband Yarden, also remains captive alongside her children.

Happy World Autism Awareness Month! In April we celebrate our community and their dedication to awareness, acceptance, and action. Autism is lifelong, and so should be the necessary support. #AutismIsLifelong #onpoli #onted

No one deserves massive debt to get Autism treatment for their kids, to wait 20 hours in an ER, to be forced to freeze and starve on the streets. Ontarians don't deserve what Ford and PC government has wrought. No one could've anticipated this level of cruelty and greed. #ONpoli

Canada’s Jewish community makes up just 1% of the population but remains the most targeted religious minority for hate year after year…and these past months have been especially extreme.
Law enforcement & elected officials at all levels must act to stop this rising #Antisemitism.
