@SharronMatthews @fordnation @oliviachow @JustinTrudeau The 519 has some if you need them ☺️

@TTChelps It’s already hard enough to get around the city via transit, walking or cycling. In the rain, made extra challenging. I even walked up to the door and knocked. The bus driver shook their head and left me.

[Megan Poole @PooleMegan]

@TTChelps when you stick busses and they don’t make all the stops how is anyone supposed to get anywhere?? Your temporary stops aren’t marked obviously and your bus drivers pass each other. Now I’m stuck in the rain waiting for a bus that may never come. Excellent.

[Megan Poole @PooleMegan]

@TTChelps 501B - I was at the stop and the driver was at the light and refused to let me on the bus choosing instead to pass the same bus I just missed.

[Megan Poole @PooleMegan]

Oh and they’re also empty.🫠🙃

Tory campaigned and won for not being Rob Ford.

“Ms. A was not provided a ‘safe work environment..Mr. Tory put his private interests first.”

As mayor, he also exercised “improper use of influence” by voting on two city council FIFA items.

No cis person's life is affected by trans people having rights and protections. Attacking trans people is and always will be a distraction tactic by right-wing politicians who know they have no viable solutions to the actual problems that people are facing.

[Megan Poole @PooleMegan]

Honestly the crumbling nature of our city’s infrastructure makes getting around the city nearly impossible. With transit wait times exacerbated and subway closures announced at the stop- how are people supposed to get around? I walk, cycle, transit and drive. All seem impossible

Children are not chattel.

The perversion of Saskatchewan's premier in using the notwithstanding clause to trample the human rights of children for parental approval is wicked and incomprehensible.

@HeyBishop @clareblackwood They were there, just later. 2SLGBTQ+ allies were over 2500, which was great. (With about 1,000 bigots)

[The 519 @The519]

🚨EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION🚨

Join 2SLGBTQ+ communities, labour groups, and allies in sending a strong message that hate has no place in Ontario.

Join us in a peaceful counter-protest on September 20, 2023 at 8:30 a.m. We will meet in Barbara Hall Park and march to Queen’s Park.

It’s a hard truth that some kids live with parents who are transphobic. No province should forcibly out gender nonconforming kids to these parents, writes Julie Malbogat. https://t.co/yzWC0VoZa9

[Megan Poole @PooleMegan]

This is not ok. We cannot allow faith-based conservative ideologies dictate bodily autonomy, freedom to live as we choose free of danger or how and when (if) we choose to share that. Canada is not immune. Ontario certainly isn’t given the disaster of the Ford government.

[Shayna S-W @shaynasw]

What those who sound the “parental rights” dogwhistle always seem to conveniently forget is the right of children to be protected from abuse, which is too often the result of forcibly outing trans kids to unsupportive families. #ONpoli #OntEd

[Canadian Association of Journalists @caj]

Residents & officials across NWT can't access reliable news about wildfires on Facebook, esp. as evacuation efforts get underway.

This is unacceptable.

We urge Meta to reverse its decision to prevent Canadians from viewing news on Facebook/Instagram.

Meth is a smart way to stay awake and avoid assault or theft on the street or in a shelter. However, most services restrict people using meth, and meth use among unhoused people is criminalized/overmedicalized when the underlying issue is lack of housing. https://t.co/3dECA0Af6U

[Progress Toronto @progresstoronto]

Toronto is in a housing and refugee shelter crisis, but Minister Freeland says her government is not going to help.

Join us Friday at 12pm in front of Minister Freeland's office to call on the feds to give support and fulfil their responsibilities - RSVP:

What’s happening at 129 Peter St is disgraceful. Where are our Federal representatives??
