[1] On the topic of minimum wage:
Like many of you, I started working before I was legally employable. It was what I had to do. Many see my social media highlights of where I am now, but thatโs not without the consequences of the poverty that Iโve experienced.
Caron Butler, NBA player:
"Kyle Rittenhouse's trail verdict reflects the extraordinary racial bias that plagues the US criminal legal system. It serves as a rare glimpse into how white privilege impacts prosecution, conviction and punishment; a reality rarely exposed publicly."
A by-election must be called in order to serve the residents of Spadina-Fort York (#SpaFY). We urge MP-elect Kevin Vuong to step down immediately.
Here's our statement: https://t.co/W5TnxjWcXB
.@JustinTrudeau tried to protect a massive corporation from accountability through a deferred prosecution. Because lets "protect jobs".
How about we stop turning away when powerful companies break the law and acting like there is any benefit to workers in doing so. #SNCLavalin
Elected representatives are supposed to be leaders.
They are supposed to act with transparency, integrity & accountability.
Kevin Vuong has failed to do this.
He should listen to constituents in #SpaFY & do the right thing for survivors everywhere.
Kevin Vuong should resign
The truth is that Kevin Vuong has not earned the right to serve this community. And while I did not win, he forfeited his right to stand as our MP.
In the days ahead we must all demand a by-election to determine a new choice. A better choice. Our community deserves no less.
My @TorontoStar column for this week: The City of Toronto spent about $33,000 per person to kick people out of park encampments this past summer.
Itโs money that could have gone toward housing people. Instead, it was spent to evict them.

This is disgraceful, @KevinVuongTO. You point blank lied to party officials, including me, your campaign chair.
There is absolutely no trust for you to regain. In a few short weeks, you managed to demonstrate that you are not someone deserving of any.
Who knew we'd have #cdnelection2021 where so much happened and also nothing at all.
$600 million + wasted time & energy that could have been spent addressing our housing crisis, climate crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
We need a new vision of political leadership #cdnpoli
I just #voted, you should too!
#COVID19 proved more than ever that our elected representatives work on policies that change our lives today, and shape our futures for tomorrow. We deserve a voice in the discussion!
#Optimism > Cynicism

It's time for #elxn44vote ! I was up bright & early with @normsworld to talk to residents about the importance of voting. All you need is photo ID & proof of residence. Your vote & your voice MATTERS! @NDP
@SpaFY_ONDP @SpaFYNDP @ChrisGloverMPP #spafy#onpoli#topoli#cdnpoli
Norm Di Pasquale @normsworld is a strong, experienced, progressive voice - with the Lib candidate being tossed from his party due to sexual violence allocations - he is not only the best choice - he is the only choice #Election2021@CUPEOntario@OFLabour
Canada goes to the polls Monday.
There's one party that stood up for working people in the pandemic.
One leader who has the courage to make the wealthy pay their fair share so everyone gets the medication they need.
That's why I support the @NDP and @theJagmeetSingh.
