We all know how crucial caregivers are to our communities. But for far too long, care workers, both paid and unpaid, have been taken for granted. This has to stop. Hear Joy from @CUPE2484 and Dorine from @iamawcanada share their stories. #CLC2023 #LiftingEveryoneUp #CanLab

Replying to @fordnation
@fordnation's inadequate COVID sick days are expiring in 30 days. CUPE2484 supports health workers & community organizers at Queen's Park today demanding: 10 PERMANENT #PaidSickDays for ALL Ontario workers. No more $$$ to corporations for Band-Aid fixes! #Justice4Workers #OnPoli

Since 2020, #UofT contracted out cleaning in an additional 27 buildings at the St. George campus, cutting good jobs and creating more poverty-wage jobs. Does that sound like "equity, fairness and justice?" #PractiseWhatYouTeach @cupeontario @fairwagesnow @decentworkhlth

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli

I feel sorta bad for Doug Ford. He’s got 28 days in a row of campaigning ahead of him and that’s 26 more days in a row than he’s worked in the past four years.

Controlling women’s bodies is a coping mechanism for a lot of mediocre men.

Let’s remember that Doug Ford could have signed the $10/day childcare deal LAST YEAR Instead, Dougie made families pay thousands of $$ extra so he could make this announcement right before the election

So let me get this straight: Ontario's COVID-19 Science Advisory Table wasn't consulted before the Ontario government announced they were going to remove mask mandates? What's the point of having a science advisory table if they aren't going to be allowed to…advise?

5.5 billion dollars intentionally unspent by the conservative government, at the expense of human lives, in every sector. During a pandemic. Can't move beyond this deliberate cruelty.

So let me get this straight: The Ontario government literally underspent by $5.5 billion this year (including $1.3 billion unspent on healthcare & $1.1 billion unspent on social supports like ODSP) during a COVID-19 crisis, overdose death crisis & a housing crisis? Enraging.

Idea: a captcha before you post a political view but instead of finding buses, you have to correctly identify on a blank map where the country you want to tweet about is located

You can’t expect tools used to maintain white supremacy, to protect you from white supremacists.

I’ll say this for @jkenney - no matter how low your expectations of him, he always manages to be even worse.

If you can afford to travel across the country taking weeks of work while literally building saunas in the street, you aren’t oppressed & are very much free. #cdnpoli

If you point to Denmark dropping all COVID restrictions, the responsible thing to do is also point out the main reason they’re doing it is because they have ample health care and hospital capacity. As usual, context matters.
