Ontario ends COVID data collection: it's worth for advocates to complain to:

When #toronto cancelled reporting overnight shelter stats in March 2020, citing COVID workload as the reason, my complaint to @ombudsmanTO got them to restart.......2

I am making public the letter I sent to @TOPublicHealth today, asking for school intervention.

It's a targeted ask to recognize the risk to 1.1 million wholly unvaccinated children in Ontario next week.

It's not the only need, but it's the scariest.

We got rid of the last premier because she built too many windmills.

We replaced her with Doug Ford.

Let's get one thing straight: The Ontario government's decision to shorten the COVID-19 isolation period to 5 days without also providing workers with free N95 masks, rapid tests & adequate paid sick days is a business decision, not a public health decision.

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

Settlers, have you read findings of Truth & Reconciliation and Calls to Action? Have you read final report of National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Calls for Justice? Bear witness to these sacred stories & living history; become an accomplice.

More policing will not stop essential workers from getting sick at work. More policing will hurt racialized people, people who live in poverty, people who experience homelessness and those who experience other structural vulnerabilities in our society. /7

Those Canadians angered + frustrated by #ShutCanadaDown actions should really direct that anger + frustration at the root cause: Canada's continued + wilful support of mis-education about Indigenous-settler relations; ignorance facilitates colonial injustice in Canada.

All the land acknowledgments in the world cannot undo the RCMP and Canada’s dastardly defiling of reconciliation in their dealings with the Wet’suet’en and today after they arrested land resisters at Unist’ot’en. #Wetswueten

My daughter's school is on strike today, as part of an ongoing labour action by public schools in Ontario (that's part of Canada, my American friends). A thread on why this strike is different and why it matters in a bigger context:

"Segregated society at many levels all coming together in compounding effect of income, race & immigration status and creating what we called ‘segregated islands of wealth and poverty'

Poverty is racialized but #cdnpoli solutions are rarely anti-racist

Thank you @davidbabcock2 for speaking truth to power. Your words resonate with so many of us. Hopefully @fordnation and @LisaThompsonMPP are listening.

@LisaThompsonMPP @fordnation this course is a vital part of reconciling the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. ON has the largest Indigenous pop. in Canada. Our schools need to be at the centre of reconciliation. #CutsHurtkids

Today, I asked the Premier about the 369 teachers that were issued layoff notices at the Peel District School Board- the Premier responded by congratulating his friends in Alberta instead. #OntEd #ONPoli #Brampoli #BramptonCentre

[J Peden @Ms_Peden]

@LisaThompsonMPP @fordnation I thought you said no one would lose their job.

[J Peden @Ms_Peden]

@_E_And @CBCQueensPark @LisaThompsonMPP Yes, absolutely.

[J Peden @Ms_Peden]

With some passionate @DavidSuzukiSS students feeling grateful to be in these spaces learning and listening from powerful Indigenous voices. Feeling empowered to bring these conversations back to our classrooms #ISCPeel2018
