Mini rant: My son was at the rec centre yesterday enjoying some pool time. In the rec centre he has to wear a mask. When he left, just because he didn't really think about it, he kept the mask on. Sometimes kids do that stuff. #yyc 1/
In emergency rooms and walk-in clinics, in doctors offices and pharmacies, in vaccine clinics right across our city. They keep us safe, always.
Today and everyday, stand with healthcare workers.
Treatment not threats. Health not hate.
We health workers refuse to hide. We health workers will never hide.
Access to healthcare in Toronto and across Canada should never be compromised! ✊🏾
I know this pandemic is frustrating. It’s frustrating that, after two years, we’re not done fighting COVID-19. But over the past few days, Canadians have been shocked – and, frankly, disgusted – by the behaviour displayed by some people protesting in our nation’s capital.
It takes a lot to get me angry. Stealing food from the homeless, dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, desecrating Terry Fox's memory, flying Nazi and Confederate flags in my province and at the nation's capital... Yeah, I'm angry and I know you are too.

The Legion strongly condemns those who jumped on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and disrespected the National War Memorial on Saturday.
The site commemorates those who fought and fell for the very freedoms that allow the right to protest peacefully and respectfully.
You still think this is a fight for freedom?
1. Disregard for the 5th anniversary of the Quebec mosque massacre
2. Display of the confederate flag & swastika symbol
3. Defacement of a statue of Terry Fox
4. Desecration of the National War Memorial.
As of today, it’s official: Conversion therapy is banned in Canada. Our government’s legislation has come into force - which means it is now illegal to promote, advertise, benefit from, or subject someone to this hateful and harmful practice. LGBTQ2 rights are human rights.
@CityCynthia This thread breaks my heart. My mom’s cancer surgery was delayed because of the last shut down. It ended up spreading to the point where they couldn’t operate. She died 8 months later.. we went from so hopeful to completely broken in 9 months. It’s so unfair to do this to people
Message from @JustinTrudeau tonight:
It’s been a difficult year for everyone. The folks out protesting, they had a difficult year too.
But we need to meet anger with compassion. That’s who we are as Canadians.
Day one of the Federal Election may be a good time to remind you that @erinotoole and the @CPC_HQ voted that climate change isn't an actual issue, nor should they care about it.
