This is why we need high-performance buildings! @PassiveHouseCan
This should be headline news. While there is heat warning from #medicalofficers all across- no one is talking about 100s thousands students in school

A wonderful idea and just in time! Now let’s hope all communities with unhoused people living on the streets can copy it quickly enough to save lives. Bravo #cityofgatineau
An out of the cold solution for the homeless approved by the City of Gatineau the way it’s supposed to be. Fireproof tents with heaters, camp beds and electric blankets and room for 2 people per tent. With access to washrooms and showers. Good job! cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/de…
This is my Canada, my Prime Minister. -#StopTheHateNow #IStandWithTrudeau
Brilliant speech by Mark Carney. Please listen well. He’s bang on.
Mark Carney, "When Brexiters tried to create Singapore-on-the-Thames, the Truss government instead delivered Argentina-on-the-Channel."
Calm, measured, enlightening. This speech by @MarkJCarney at the Global Progress Action Summit is a must watch #GlobalProgressAction23 👏
Mike, you are absolutely right. Wish more Canadians understood our system of government. We really are a bunch of poorly educated spoiled brats, blaming the wrong guy for things others are doing. And being fully exploited, thanks to our ignorance! 🤦♀️
A reminder:
Almost all of the problems people are upset about today are under provincial jurisdiction with little to nothing the federal govt can do about them.
Trudeau is taking all the fire for the fuck ups and absentee leadership of provincial premiers.

@cbcasithappens you had a perfect opportunity just now to ask why Pierre Polievre as leader of the opposition doesn’t want security clearance. What is his reasoning? Your guest’s answer was lame. You should have probed!

And today the Globe and Mail said that rental evictions are soaring. Are we now going to have families living in cars? I hope our civic leaders take this seriously. It’s a desperate situation.
A one-bedroom rental in TO costs $30,000 a year, yet the annual net income of a minimum wage earner is $23,013. Housing affordability is not a problem w/ individuals, but of a system/policies that refuse to enact a war effort on housing, build public, and guarantee decent income.

I watched a mother with a stroller really struggle to climb a mountain of snow to cross Avenue Road today. It’s not a “world class” city when we don’t even have winter sorted! 🤦♀️
This brings to light once again the city’s resistance & inability to prioritize a safe and accessible city when it comes to snow clearing. It’s not acceptable that a Canadian city cannot deliver snow clearing adequately & competently. Enough is enough.

The Greenbelt Giveaway was garden-variety corruption. They could also add density to many areas of Toronto, without monstrous high rises. Remember: “he who pays the piper, calls the tune.”
Ontario has enough land for 2 million new homes without touching Greenbelt. This is the 2nd report to confirm this. The first report to confirm this was the Premier's own Taskforce on Housing. So now we have it from all sides of the political spectrum.

I’ve seen several posts this week suggesting that PJMT is related to Justice Rouleau. This should set the record straight. For those who care about facts…
The judge who led the Public Order Emergency Commission into the invocation of the Emergencies Act, Paul Rouleau, is not related to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, despite social media posts alleging a family connection. ctvnews.ca/politics/fact-che…

Good point. But now with the climate crisis we need to build high-performance buildings @PassiveHouseCan that are affordable to keep and won’t add GHGs. It can be done. Just needs political will. Sadly getting the polarized governments together is the biggest issue.

@CP24 a whole bunch of people are stuck on the Bloor UP Express to the airport. We’ve been on the train for over an hour. Signal issue. No one can leave. Literally prisoners. Can’t leave as tracks are “live”. This is a nightmare
We’re stuck on the train. Over45 minutes!! We have a flight to catch. What compensation is there for this? We’re literally prisoners.

A very good reminder…
Chris Goodnow is a world-renowned immunologist. Before catching COVID in May, he was also an avid cyclist and surfer, the director of a major medical research institute, and my boss.
And then, like many other COVID patients, the virus hit his heart. abc.net.au/news/health/2022-…
Please read this incredibly important information before you cast your vote on June 2nd. Ford has already sold many gov’t services to US agencies and if he gets in again things will only get worse. Without any media coverage, we can only use Twitter as our bullhorn. Please share!
I was contacted by an ODSP employment provider in Ontario who asked me to help get a message out about Ford's privatization of our social services and healthcare, so they could be anonymous. It's important and will be a big thread. These are their words: #onpoli
I think people need to see what’s going on. All these de-listed health services! Where’s the media? Why no report? Very few people on Twitter. Vast majority won’t realize this until after the election. Please continue to spread the word!
86$ dropped at LifeLabs today thanks to @fordnation taking cancer screening blood work off the list of OHIP covered test. 86$ for some people would make the test unattainable. Imagine finding out you have cancer & being the person unable to afford the blood work. FU @fordnation
