Thanks to Luke from StopGap Fdn and Janet from @Disability_WP the meeting .
We talked about the daily barriers Ontarians with disabilities face—and the urgent need to tear them down. Accessibility isn’t a luxury. It’s a right. Everyone deserves equal access to every space.
One of the joys of my life is building and celebrating community at @marketlaneps. Huge thanks to @torontolibrary, @BookBankCanada, @charliesfw, @MLSELaunchPad, @TOHousing, @PizzaPizzaLtd @nofrillsCA @COBSBread @LoblawsON, Metro, volunteers and staff for a fantastic Fun Fair!
As a parent and cyclist, I’m thrilled to build a community partnership between @marketlaneps1 and Charlie’s Freewheels @charliesfw ! Thank you @LanrickBennett and fabulous team for joining our annual Ready for Summer Fun Fair! 🎉
Excited to have @charliesfw invited to Market Lane Public School’s Fun Fair. We’ve got our mobile repair team here until 6pm. Drop by and say hello!

Ford continues to ignore Ontarians' concerns for his #OntarioPlace plan. The potential harm the plan can have on the environment is truly reckless!

Thank you for this excellent thread, @heymrsbond. I have been turning EXACTLY THIS set of challenges over and over in my brain for years. How do we reimagine non-patriarchal relationship and family structures? And how do we do so collectively?

Could not agree more with @shawnmicallef re: cycling on Adelaide. Incredibly dangerous, so much so that even though I live on downtown east side, I’ve sworn off this vital corridor indefinitely. There is currently no safe cross-downtown option. @TOCentreCyclist @CycleToronto

Teaching children about homelessness is crucial for building empathy and compassion. Let's start the conversation and inspire kindness and inclusivity in our society. #homelessnessawareness #teachthemyoung

The @cityoftoronto cites the Sam McBride ferry’s capacity as 736; according to TPS source cited by @CTVNews, 918 people were on board when the ferry crashed. What explains the surplus 182 people on board? @JohnTory @joemihevc

BREAKING June 7: A week into #PrideMonth2022 #LGBTQ #2SLGBTQ in Ontario and no statement of support from @fordnation? Hoping you retweeting this might get him to say something...

Anyone surprised by the news that fraternities were holding "slave auctions" in recent years should read @eternitymartis's seminal book They Said This Would Be Fun. Race, Campus Life and Growing Up. #OnPoli

Ford at a presser today: If you're in a crowded room of 15 people, put a mask on, it's common sense.
Somehow he doesn't extend that 'common sense' to schools though... #ONPoli

Never have I had more friends, colleagues & acquaintances calling me for advice after their children brought home #COVID from school.
Kids are missing school.
Parents are missing work.
The vulnerable among us are at higher risk for exposure.
Masks should stay on in school.
Maureen Larkin retweeted
It would be one thing if we prevented mask mandates in schools because we didn't know what the virus does to our bodies.
But we DO know.
Preventing mask mandates in schools is purely a political/ideological move. I refuse to accept this.
7/7
