I am thinking today of all the women who had to fight so hard for things to be better when they were young, only to find themselves having to fight for the same things now that they are old, and how tired they must be, and how grateful I am to them for their energy then and now.

Canada's wireless costs 'continue to be the highest or among the highest in the world':

We need a Digital Allowance for folks on ODSP/OW in order to access vital prog's & svcs.
It's not a luxury, it's an absolute necessity & a matter of #equity.

[Decent Work and Health Network @DecentWorkHlth]

The MAJORITY of workers in Ontario don't have access to adequate paid time off to isolate AND they rely on schools as care for their children in order to go to work.

A #SafeReturn must include 10 PERMANENT #PaidSickDays for all!
