Yesterday, an Ontario arbitrator upheld a policy mandating vaccination. Paragon Protection and UFCW Local 333 (Arbitrator von Veh).It reads exactly as most every credible lawyer predicted. Workers need to know this so they can make informed choice
#COVID19#MandatoryVaccination
It is critical to remember that for the Human Rights Code to apply, a person must have a protected characteristic that is negatively impacted by a rule, policy, or requirement. A personal desire not to get vaccinated is not protected by the Human Rights Code.
#Pride Special:
Pop-up Community #COVID19#Vaccine Clinic
Saturday, June 26, 11am to 5pm
At The 519 [519 Church St.]
Low-barrier drop-in clinic for folks aged 12+. Prioritizes LGBTQ2S folks and allies, and essential workers who live/work in the Church-Wellesley corridor.
Your country has just dug up the bodies of over 1300 children that died in its "schools"
Your country is fighting against the survivors of those "schools" for compensation.
There is nothing to celebrate this July 1.
Beginning May 1, the Ontario government is providing up to four hours of free legal advice to victims of sexual assault. The province-wide expansion of this program, which has been available as a pilot in Ottawa, Thunder Bay and Toronto 1/2
Playgrounds open. Ok so if this is how it’s going to be.... Keep up the pressure, Ontario. We still need:
💉vaccination priority for essential workers/hot spots
💉paid sick & vaccination leave
💉support for those unable to work
💉public health action not police state
#onpoli
I have been contacted by 6 people today who have already been detained and questioned by the police for doing such reckless things as walking (for some fresh air) or playing with their child. I am here for you and will help protect your rights. DM me for free legal advice.
To recap #newssaturday: Ontario playgrounds to remain open (other outdoor facilities still closed) and government is backtracking on new police powers to stop people outside and ask why they’re not at home & demand address, after widespread repudiation from police forces #onpoli
Warehouse worker, truck driver, construction worker... not one of my COVID patients today acquired this at the park. They are angry and they have no voice. Shameful.
