BREAKING: $618,000 in taxpayer dollars to rename Science Centre Station. Add that to: ➡️$700 million to build a new Science Centre. ➡️Millions spent on temporary science exhibits. ➡️Millions more to decommission the original Science Centre. And what is the cost to an entire generation of young people losing access to what was once one of the world’s greatest science centres? #ONpoli

The tragic irony is Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment costs the same amount. And Ontario's claim her treatment would set a precedent for $5 billion more is with zero evidence. This government has lost its way.

Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones are going down.
Despite the health minister's repeated assurances that decisions about cancer treatment funding are made by medical professionals, newly released FOI records show the final say in at least one case rested with a senior ministry of health official who refused funding, despite the government’s own health agency and two clinical experts recommending it.

We need to talk. The climate crisis is getting worse, yet politicians and business leaders are backing away from their commitments. Media coverage on climate is down 40% in recent years. That’s why Women Leading on Climate is launching #WeNeedToTalk—and we need your help to put climate change back on the agenda! Join us: womenleadingonclimate.org/co…

Without question it should!
I think this is the sort of thing that will end @SylviaJonesMPP tenure as health minister....

So @SylviaJonesMPP lied and then @RobinLennox was disciplined for calling her out? This is NOT what democracy looks like. Shame! #onted #onpoli #cdnpoli
New: NDP MPP Robin Lennox is removed from question period for refusing to withdraw an accusation that Health Minister Sylvia Jones is lying about OHIP refusals for patients seeking US cancer treatments. #Onpoli

Sabrina is 31 and fighting a rare, aggressive cancer. For weeks, Health Minister Sylvia Jones has said doctors decide whether patients like her get treatment outside the country. Now we know two medical experts and Ontario’s own health agency said yes to Sabrina, and it was the Minister’s own ministry that said no. Cancer patients shouldn’t have to fight their own government just to get care. Doug Ford must reverse this decision and give Sabrina a chance at life today.

Something to consider for those who have recently argued that Early Childhood Educators (whose already low wages have now been frozen) are “just babysitters”. Then Conservatives will complain about “low” EQAO math scores. #OntEd #onpoli

A YES vote does not mean that I want to walk away from my students. Quite the opposite. I want to fight for the conditions that allow me to give them the education they deserve. #OntEd

Ontario. This is the MPP you need. This is the doctor you need. MPP Dr. Robin Lennox rightly accused Deputy Premier Jones of lying in denying a patient treatment that her doctors and Ontario Health itself recommended. Dr. Lennox - thank you. @RobinLennox
“She has lied and people have died.” Moments ago at Queen’s Park: NDP MPP Robin Lennox is kicked out of the chambers for calling Health Minister Sylvia Jones a liar, following revelations that Ontario refused to fund Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment despite its own health agency’s recommendation.

Replying to @tylerwatt
Excellent point, @tylerwatt. I need this printed out to hand to every Conservative voter who complains about teachers “getting the summer off”.

BREAKING: Abdul El-Sayed is expected to require ALL Michigan Elementary school students to learn ARABIC numerals. As a Jewish American I still support this 100%.
