A family of 5 in London, ON were deliberately struck by a motorist just for being Muslim, 4 have died.
Don’t tell us #Islamophobia doesn’t exist in Canada. Don’t tell us racism doesn’t exist in Canada.
Don’t tell us that the hate we feel every day for just existing isn’t real.
Stay safe out there #Etobicoke, we love you!
The Delta variant is 50% more transmissible & now represents 25% of all new #COVID19 cases.
Meanwhile, Peel Region has 20% of the province's cases & it receives only 9% of all of the vaccines.
We must divert 2nd dose vaccines to hotspots ASAP to protect Ontario from a 4th wave.

I’ve requested the Speaker allow for an Emergency Debate on the discovery of the graves of #215children
We grieve for these children and demand accountability from the federal govt
This govt must end all legal actions against Indigenous children & residential school survivors

Our #COVID situation will improve faster if we aim for a 2-shot spring for high risk/elderly & high exposure risk individuals and a 2-shot "by end of summer" for everyone else.

We have an octogenarian husband & wife in hospital who acquired #COVID 2-months after Pfizer #1 (story shared with permission).
Their shot #2 isn't scheduled for >1 month from now.
Those with high risk for severe disease and high exposure risk need timely access to shot #2.
I don't know who needs to hear this but Ontario needs to open up second vaccine doses to older adults and those most vulnerable to #COVID19, ASAP.

In our fight against the MZO, we have experienced first-hand how the Government ignores its duty to consult. Now they are facing lawsuits from FNs & coalitions of environmentalists about Bill 197 which will further threaten environmental protection in ON.

Kayaking has become a necessary reprieve for many Torontonians.
@mcpalassio gave us a tour from her inflateable kayak.
