While it's unlikely kids will return to in-class instruction this school year, we need to plan ahead.

Labour day is just over 4 months away.

For teachers/staff to be fully vaccinated when class resumes in September, they need their 1st shot in the next 2.5 weeks.

[Nrinder Nann @NrinderWard3]

Please @fordnation take action that will make an actual difference: 1. Paid Sick Days. 2. Vaccinate all essential workers. 3. Redirect supply to vaccinate those in hot spots with highest rates and who face highest risk. NOW!

I’m sure I’m gonna get replies from nonbelievers but I’d like to ask my Christian followers out there: Why don’t we as a church explicitly address White Supremacy and racism on Sundays? Why don’t we engage the truths of America and how it’s values are antithetical to the Gospel?

My wife and I play this fun game during quarantine, it's called "Why Are You Doing It That Way?" and there are no winners

BREAKING: Ontario schools have been ordered to remain closed from March 14 through to April 5, 2020.

Signed! With my youngest I had an incomparable experience being cared for and empowered by my midwives. They are doing such important and much needed work! Please reinstate this necessary funding.

[Cait @cait_mp]

As a midwife, I'm heartened by groundswell of support for #midwifery - tens of thousands of Ontarians already signed petition calling on gov't to reinstate funding to College https://t.co/CA1Be8u6MX @OntarioMidwives @ONThealth #onpoli

Confession: I have been using my toddlers’ bright pink bubblegum toothpaste for the last week because I can’t get my ish together to get new adult appropriate toothpaste.

Attention #OurWard3. It’s that time of year! With 1000s of LEDs to brighten the night sky, the train is scheduled to arrive at 7:45pm. Be early for best viewing b/c there will be a big crowd. Don’t forget your healthy food / cash donations for @HFShare.

@cait_mp Also another day I didn’t fold my mountain of laundry.

[Bethany Stief @StiefBethany]

Discourse with multiple staff has been grossly inconsistent. Some staff have earnestly tried to help within your limited and flawed system, while I have simply been turned away by others. How can such a variance in support be justified? You need to do better.

[Bethany Stief @StiefBethany]

@ServiceCanada_E Why don’t you assign case managers to individual EI claims? There is no overlap or accountability between staff within multiple tiers Of your system. It’s almost as though it’s designed to make it extremely difficult for ppl to receive their financial support.

[Bethany Stief @StiefBethany]

Due to a mistake made on my claim I have not received parental leave support since August. It has been almost impossible to get anywhere within your system. I am fortunate that I am not a single parent and solely relying on this financial support for my family.

[Emma Reilly @EmmaatTheSpec]

Hi #HamOnt: I'm writing a story about how to cut back on the amount of STUFF that comes into our lives at Christmas (especially with kids in the mix). Anyone want to chat about how to (gently) tell your family to ease off on the stuff? Get in touch at [email protected].

[Bethany Stief @StiefBethany]

@LisaThompsonMPP You really don’t mean “every” student though do you? If you want to stop bullying then don’t implement a curriculum that is going to further foster the bullying of vulnerable kids in our schools.

[Bethany Stief @StiefBethany]

👌👌

[Bethany Stief @StiefBethany]

Reflecting on this as I think about how to fill the twins stockings this year. I can so easily get sucked into consumerism this season as a way to earnestly and foolishly try to make my kids feel special. Even though I know full well it’s not things that communicate love.
