@RealAndyLeeShow These people occupied Ottawa for weeks & made life a living hell for residents. They broke laws with impunity, were treated with kid gloves & asked to leave many times. Post your home address - trucks clogging your street, honking & running their engines should offer perspective.
@Lawsome_ I hope you're in a union and Ford comes for you next. Do you think an underpaid EA or ECE is best for your kids? It's a really hard and often physically dangerous job. Shame on you.
@Sflecce CUPE members have kids too. They need to feed, clothe and spend time with them, and should not have to work a second job to survive. Get yourself back to the bargaining table. Offer a liveable wage.
@ONT_Dad@Sflecce Just read that by direction of the ministry daycare programs for school aged children are not allowed to run next week. So much for the million parents Ford was so concerned about… by direction of the ministry.
@Sflecce You've used kids as pawns to abolish the Charter Rights of 55,000 workers. This is an attack on every single Canadian.
If you genuinely cared about kids, you wouldn't be cutting $billions from schools.
“Ontario schools facing $12.3 billion shortfall over next decade”
@Sflecce Underfunding education and under-paying essential workers like ECE's hurts our kids. Draconian anti-strike legislation and premiers who refuse to testify and be held accountable before parliamentary committees hurt our democracy. Enough IS enough.
@ottawacity A rabble of ill-informed people who laid siege to our city (a convoy, be definition,travels) and were not properly or efficiently controlled by any level of government or police, must not continue to impact the movement of Ottawa taxpayers around this city.
@KenClar06191913 It was a siege or an occupation. A convoy, by definition, moves. Please post your address, I'd like to send semi trucks to park outside your house for 3 weeks honking their horns and running their engines so you can enjoy some peace.
@gmacofglebe It was a siege or an occupation. A convoy, by definition, moves.
noun /ˈkänˌvoi/ a group of ships or vehicles traveling together, typically accompanied by armed troops, warships, or other vehicles for protection. Language matters - it's like calling torture "prisoner abuse".
So let me get this straight: Canada’s largest corporations made record profits last year & avoided paying $30,000,000,000 in taxes but we've got People with Disabilities pursuing Medical Assistance in Dying because they can't access home care?
Where are our priorities?

I noticed you picking through the blueberries at 5am to ensure no moldy ones would reach my lips. For this tender care, and so much more, thank you my love. You amaze me. bhttps://open.spotify.com/track/6RNDeRnWsRMjPdNVgupZCs?si=1PkO8QnKS-6ocZ5dKpWwlQ
@NomeDaBarbarian ....the door swung open, a stranger walked in, analyzed the situation and made an appropriate split-second decision yelling: "Hey stop!!! I know him, that's P! Not violent -- diabetic." The MARS bar and P dropped to the floor as he had a seizure. Kudos to the quick-witted hero.
@NomeDaBarbarian Terrifying scene internat'l coalition meeting '92 Ottawa ..9-1-1 call: person in crisis, Mac's Milk, ground floor. Police surrounded and barked out orders, further confusing and agitating subject, escalating the MARS bar out of the situation, tension mounting, LF imminent...
