[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

A family of 5 in London, ON were deliberately struck by a motorist just for being Muslim, 4 have died.

Don’t tell us #Islamophobia doesn’t exist in Canada. Don’t tell us racism doesn’t exist in Canada.

Don’t tell us that the hate we feel every day for just existing isn’t real.

Stay safe out there #Etobicoke, we love you!

The Delta variant is 50% more transmissible & now represents 25% of all new #COVID19 cases.

Meanwhile, Peel Region has 20% of the province's cases & it receives only 9% of all of the vaccines.

We must divert 2nd dose vaccines to hotspots ASAP to protect Ontario from a 4th wave.

"A mass grave is a crime scene, it is not a historic site or a heritage site," Turpel-Lafond told Global News. Former BC Child Advocate calls for formal investigation

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

I’ve requested the Speaker allow for an Emergency Debate on the discovery of the graves of #215children

We grieve for these children and demand accountability from the federal govt

This govt must end all legal actions against Indigenous children & residential school survivors

Our #COVID situation will improve faster if we aim for a 2-shot spring for high risk/elderly & high exposure risk individuals and a 2-shot "by end of summer" for everyone else.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

We have an octogenarian husband & wife in hospital who acquired #COVID 2-months after Pfizer #1 (story shared with permission).

Their shot #2 isn't scheduled for >1 month from now.

Those with high risk for severe disease and high exposure risk need timely access to shot #2.

"I'm here to stand up to this behaviour... I'm proud of where I come from. I'm proud to be from Ochapowace First Nation. I'm not just doing this for myself. I'm doing this for all people of colour & for the next generation."

[MSIFN - Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation @MSIFN]

In our fight against the MZO, we have experienced first-hand how the Government ignores its duty to consult. Now they are facing lawsuits from FNs & coalitions of environmentalists about Bill 197 which will further threaten environmental protection in ON.

Amsterdam used 1970s oil crisis as catalyst for change. It took 40 years of consistent planning to become the cycling city we know today.

Kayaking has become a necessary reprieve for many Torontonians.
