Update RE: Motion in the attached Thread 👇🏾
Staff at @HWDSB have released suspension and expulsion data. I am deeply concerned about what the data reveals and I know many of you will share the same sentiment.

Looking forward to presenting some preliminary analysis from my virtual posthuman ethnographic doctoral study. 2:25 this afternoon. #NNDR23#disabilitystudies#posthuman
So let me get this straight: The City of Toronto was ok with the Toronto Police using $337,000 of our tax dollars to create a podcast barely anyone listened to...but wasn't ok using $400,000 to fund a 24/7 warming centre to prevent hypothermia & death?
Where are our priorities?
BREAKING: Today Poilievre is meeting with The frontier Centre, a homophobic, racist organization that tells lies about #LGBTQ+ and #IndigenousPeoples
In case you were wondering about his politics...
The Ontario government is letting our public healthcare system collapse to make you frustrated. To make you think a private for-profit healthcare system would be better. To make you want to give up on an equitable healthcare system for all...Don't let them fool you!

JUST IN: The City of Toronto is actually planning to spend $$$ to hire private security guards to patrol parks 24/7 so that unhoused people, who have nowhere else to go, don't use them.
The surveillance & criminalization of people experiencing poverty continues.
So. Cruel.
Ontario’s kids, families & education workers deserve to be safe. With classrooms quickly becoming COVID hotspots, our @OntLiberal team calls for responsible mask mandates in essential indoor settings such as schools, pharmacies & grocery stores. #onpoli https://t.co/vk7qHcW05C
So let me get this straight. During the first 10 months of Ontario’s rapid test program, private schools got more taxpayer funded rapid tests than paramedics, daycares, shelters & jails combined. And only 1/5th of the rapid tests went to COVID hotspots?
Outrageous.
🚨Doug Ford to private schools “here is all the rapid tests you need to keep kids safe” 🚨 Doug Ford to public schools “here’s your box of 5, spend all weekend dividing them up so kids can get 2 each”.
Our paper 'Abnormal-becoming-normal' is now available. We employ poststructuralism and disability studies to explore how childhood disability is understood and addressed in children's rehab textbooks. @BarbptToronto

People who say “YOU can mask but let ME do what I want” are missing the point that public health is not about you or me, it’s about WE.
If we don’t all mask, then we increase risk to our most vulnerable - kids, elderly, immunocompromised - who make up a large chunk of society. 1/
