@WestJet Thank you! Please make sure they are recognized!

[Lorna E. Rourke @LornaERourke]

Shoutout to the flight attendants on @WestJet Flight 17, Edinburgh to Toronto on October 5: Emmett, Justen, Sylvia, and Victoria. They couldn’t have been more professional, cheerful, or helpful. Bravo! #flightattendants #westjet

Did you know Air Canada’s flight attendants work thousands of hours for free?! They ONLY get paid when the flight is in motion. Join me and tell Air Canada: Unpaid work is a true crime. https://t.co/rhwgy4gpPQ

Sam and Jake work under a collective they run called The Uncommon Folk Collective. Last month their performance of "Let It Fall" from Ursa: A Folk Musical (filmed in a cave near Tweed, ON!) was chosen as an official selection for @folkmusicon's 'Folk in Film' Festival 2023.

Did you know that flight attendants do an average of 35 hours a month of unpaid work? In most professions this would never be allowed to happen. When you’re stuck on a plane during a delay, so are they—not being paid. :( #flightattendant #unpaidwork

[CUPE Ontario @CUPEOntario]

Unpaid Work Won’t Fly! Tues, Apr 25 is a Day of Action across Cda to end unpaid work by flight attendants. @FredHahnCUPE will join flight attendants from 10 airlines for a noon rally @ Pearson, T1 Domestic Departures, by the Inukshuk statues https://t.co/637oIXOn5V

How great is the Guelph Public Library?! Once again they’ve partnered with the @GToolLibrary (which is also great!) to give away free garden seeds. Thanks to the always-helpful David at the Scottsdale branch for telling me about this. 🍅 🌻 @GuelphLibrary #gardens

Make no mistake: The violence we're seeing on the TTC won't be addressed by having more police present.

We need more housing. More mental healthcare. More harm reduction services. More public washrooms. More warming centres.

We need a City of Toronto that's more compassionate.

[Lorna E. Rourke @LornaERourke]

@SStegemeyer I’m not trying to be mean at all, and I can totally relate to your comment, but what if that person reads your post? I think your twitter is open.?

[Lorna E. Rourke @LornaERourke]

Scary stats. Mask up, people! 🦠😷

[Céline Gounder, MD, ScM, FIDSA 🇺🇦 @celinegounder]

Testing wastewater from planes found that almost all flights had passengers with COVID.

Love the sarcasm here. Be nice to airline employees, people! It’s not their fault.

[Jeremy McLellan @JeremyMcLellan]

Remember if your flight gets cancelled most airports have a secret fleet of backup planes with lots of seats but they’re only available if you’re mean enough to low-level employees.
