How many of you learned what little you know about Indigenous People's history, like the horrible legacy of residential schools, outside of school and on your own?

Please RT. Trying to prove a point about the Canadian education system.

In case you missed the news conference by the Minister of Long-Term Care Merrilee Fullerton, you can get the flavour of it from this transcript of her answer to my first question. #COVID19Ontario

Here is the list of the 55 Conservative MPPs who voted against giving Ontarians #PaidSickDays today. I am deeply disappointed #Nepean’s MPP @MacLeodLisa voted against this. We desperately need #PaidSickLeave to help get this pandemic under control. #WeCanDoBetter #onpoli

🚨 ONTARIO HAS 1.2 MILLION #COVID19 VACCINES SITTING IN FREEZERS RIGHT NOW & VACCINE CLINICS ALL OVER THE GTA ARE SAYING THEY HAVE NO VACCINES! 🚨

The City of Toronto has decided to serve people living in parks with a Notice of Trespass for April 6th.

Instead of building solutions, the city is criminalizing people who experience homelessness in the middle of a pandemic.

Reverse the decision. Now.

In recent days we have:
-- shut down the Parkdale community fridge
-- fined people who have visited temples and gurdwaras for Diwali (and followed social distancing guidelines
-- sent a warning letter to a man trying to build shelters for the homeless

And now this:

[Ward 4, Parkdale-High Park @gordperks]

Dear, @fordnation you had one job. You blew it. Resign.

[Mike Schreiner @MikeSchreiner]

Nearly 1,400 new cases today - a record.

But Ford doesn't want to be the bad guy. So he's loosening restrictions and passing the ball to municipalities to prevent the spread on their own.

That's not leadership.

Sheffield Matthews was a 41-year old Black father who was shot 7 times by the Montreal police during a mental health crisis last week.

Our hearts go out to his family & friends. We really need change

25 yrs of unsafe water.

5 yrs of inaction by Justin Trudeau.

Children left with blisters after showering.

The people of Neskantaga being evacuated from their homes during a pandemic.

Justin Trudeau, what don't you get?

Water is life. Do something.

[Alyssa Valente @AlyssaValente]

@JustinTrudeau stop standing by, we need real action taken to protect the Mi’kmaq people and their land!

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

This is terrorism.

The Mi'kmaq people desperately need help now

No more empty words, @justintrudeau. This must be stopped.

Do you see this? Do you see who the police are choosing to protect? What happened to protecting “private property”? Or does it only matter when White settlers are the ones needing help?

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

They were followed, threatened & barricaded

Their vehicles were torched & their livelihoods destroyed

A mob threatened to burn them out

The response? RCMP stood idly by & Justin Trudeau tweeted but offered no solution

L'nuk (Mi'kmaw) fishers deserve justice & dignity now

[Alyssa Valente @AlyssaValente]

Take action: Toronto’s schools are underfunded & in disrepair because the Ontario government has let developers off the hook. That's why I just used @progresstoronto's tool to demand Ford make developers pay their fair share & fund our schools: https://t.co/zOThd7LbN2

[Doctors For Defunding Police @DrsDefundPolice]

The first public schools have already closed down due to outbreaks and our LTC homes are a complete mess that are understaffed & unprepared.

Yet...

@fordnation @Sflecce this is ridiculous, how can you say you care about your people in this province and not care about the children who are getting an education.

[Doctors For Defunding Police @DrsDefundPolice]

So indoor gathering limits are 10 people but there are classes that have more than 35 kids?
