The Ontario government says it has no choice but to pass a bill preventing a strike, because kids need to be in school so they can grow up, get jobs, and have their Charter rights taken away.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

The news coming out of the United States is horrific. My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.

[Ms. Nellz @hypenhaze]

@patiodweller This is such a slap in the face to healthcare workers, teachers, and the elderly

[Lesley Smith @NorthWindPhotos]

@yeetordiexd The answer is both. Well, at least it is for me.

[Lesley Smith @NorthWindPhotos]

Was Chris Rock's joke tasteless? Yes.
Was Will Smith's reaction also tasteless? Yes.

I'm not on either side with this one. 🤷‍♀️

[Lesley Smith @NorthWindPhotos]

My fear as well.

[just jim @ottleyjam]

@wiredwoman I will, I work in a school.
My fear is the blow back from anti maskers, because now people wearing masks will be ridiculed and mocked in public, I can guarantee it. Maskers will be a minority sadly, I think.

@gwen_nels @4ever_days I wouldn't eat it there, but French toast made from banana bread is incredible! "Meat" seems a questionable addition if not a side.

I don't know, if Bill Maher, Russell Brand and Piers Morgan are disagreeing with you, I feel like you're probably on the right side of things.

[Antonio Foix 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 @Aho2ToMan]

I will prove that Canada is not a dictatorship in two steps.

1. Tonight there will be a vote in Parliament about the invocation of the Emergencies Measure Act.
2. It will be a question of confidence in the Government, so if the NO wins we will be going to elections.

DONE!

PSA: it’s possible to not agree with every way the government has handled the pandemic over the last two years and NOT support a racist, hate-filled movement at the same time.

It must be exhausting to have a brain thats constantly churning out conspiracy theories. Mine's too busy thinking of all the real-life stuff to spend time with negative daydreams.

[Steven Del Duca @StevenDelDuca]

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.

Serious Question: Can someone please tell me what defacing Canadian hero Terry Fox’s statue AND defacing the Canadian flag with swastikas has to do with vaccine mandates?

[Lesley Smith @NorthWindPhotos]

So... this schools opening thing is still happening tomorrow then? I was almost certain it would change. Ok. Good. I'm not at all afraid. *gulp* #onted #coopplacement #firsttimeinaschool #tryingtobeoptomistic

Actual footage from this afternoon's press conference.
As someone starting a college placement, I want children in class; to meet them & come up with lessons that involve play & movement instead of sitting in front of computer screens. But, I want them to return to school safely.

[Lesley Smith @NorthWindPhotos]

@CP24 I'll believe it on the 16th. Until then I won't get excited one way or the other.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Horrific News: Ava-Mae, a 5 year old Ontario girl, has died of COVID. Meanwhile, the number of children being hospitalized with Omicron is rising.

If your response is to ask if they had pre-existing conditions, please just stop.

No child should be sick. No child should die.

[Lesley Smith @NorthWindPhotos]

@MagnumKhan1 @KelcieMMorris He did not talk about this, no.
