Happy New Year!
Our local @OntarioParks- @SpringwaterPP is closed until March 😢
We miss visiting the park but took our annual #FirstDayHike down the road to the @GanaraskaA Hiking Trail. The sun peeked out a few times and our four legged friend was very happy to be outside.
Today, we leaked a report @fordnation was hiding.
• 4.1M people aren’t signed up with a family doctor
• 3M more could lose theirs within five years
• 205 municipalities don’t have a single family doctor signing up patients
Doug Ford has failed us all.

Fellow Ontario tax payers - please like and retweet if you would rather $3.2 Billion be invested in public services, like education, healthcare, ODSP, support for autism families, than be dolled out in one-time $200 pre-election bribes by Doug Ford. #onpoli#onted#cdpoli
Municipalities cutting services because of less provincial funding.
Homelessness going up in WR.
2.5m Ontarians without a family Dr.
Sexual violence survivors denied justice due to court backlogs.
Meanwhile, Ford bribes voters with their own money.

Please do not use Teachers Pay Teachers for ANYTHING to do with #OrangeShirtDay. Not only is TPT NOT audited for equity and cultural appropriation, creators are literally making money off of Indigenous trauma. I will continue to share free vetted resources this month! 🧡🪶
Austria has installed CO2 Monitors in 1200 classrooms as part of a study.
Belgium has a ventilation plan for public spaces like restaurants, movie theatres, schools etc. Some public places in France have to be emptied until CO2 levels have improved. What does Canada do??
BREAKING: The Kamala Harris campaign just released their first ad. Retweet to make sure every American knows who Kamala Harris is and what is at stake this November.
We want a premier who prioritizes health care, education, housing and transit along with a green plan for climate change. What we have is a strange man obsessed with booze, online gambling, raising speed limits & giving good land to real estate developers

NEW: You may have noticed the Ford gov't's massive Highway 413 signs along the 401.
Turns out the promotional signs were rushed out, then replaced, then resized --- all at the direction of the Premier's office and at a cost to taxpayers.

NEW - Opseu is on the air with this commercial amid the LCBO strike. It features a supposed grocery CEO, who is clearly meant to be Galen Weston. The government also out with an ad featuring the LCBO CEO urging the union to return to talks.
Another morning of adventuring-while-sculling at our two week Youth Rowing program. Today participants practiced steering with follow-the-leader and then tipping in deep water.
We still have spaces for upcoming sessions. No experience necessary.

Apparently, Conservatives spent $8.5 million on ads last year while Liberals spent $380 thousand.
So it’s not just in my head when I feel like I see waaaay more Conservative messaging than Liberal. #cdnpoli. 🤷🏾♂️
🎯 "Half a billion for a casino in spa's clothing at Ontario Place, money to Staples and billion to break a booze contract causing first #lcbostrike ! DOUG FORD IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ONTARIO!" #Onpoli#ON#HamOnt#OTT

NEW - Liberal MPP Adil Shamji holds a news conference with Brian Rudy, Partner and Principal Architect of the firm that designed the Ontario Science Centre.
“The closure of the Ontario Science Centre was not a necessity, but a choice. Repairs can be performed easily” said Rudy.
We've mentioned it before: Ryan's Law requires that schools take action to protect students with asthma by reducing the risk of exposure to asthma triggers. This is one way to get AC into classrooms during a heatwave to protect vulnerable students. #onted#asthma
Watch this.
The NDP government in BC is building homes 2.5x faster than Ford.
Ford is failing you. He doesn't listen to the people. He doesn't listen to the experts. He only listens to his friends with money.
He wants an election.... bring it.
Let's make a deal - no A/C for the adults at the Ministry or Board offices unless there is A/C for the kids in the classrooms of Ontario. 🤷♂️
If we made that deal, imagine how fast things would change, for kids.
Doug Ford - invest in safe schools now!

So pleased that @Ptbohealth Board of Health, with the leadership of Chair @lalalalachica see the value for wastewater surveillance data for COVID & pandemic preparedness & has decided they will continue to support this work & partnership with Dr. Kyle @TrentUniversity locally.
