If Canada cares, we’ll lower our flags. We’ll have a national week of mourning. We’ll stop fighting Residential School Survivors in court. We’ll act on Truth & Reconciliation.
If Canada cares, we’ll accept this genocide isn’t just our past, but our present too.

There will be two barrier free vaccine clinics next week in downtown Toronto. No registration, no OHIP/ID, no address necessary. Just a name and DOB. All info in this pic.
(Not involved and can't take any credit. Simply sharing the good news🙏)
Ugh. One of my immunocompromised patients who was infected with COVID after receiving both vaccines passed away over the weekend 😔 He WANTED to be immune. But his body couldn’t mount a response (antibody negative even after infection).
HE is why EVERYONE needs to be vaccinated.
Okay kids! CONTEST TIME! I want to see your best indoor playground, fort or obstacle course while the outdoor playgrounds in #Guelph are unfortunately closed for the next few weeks! I got a $50 gift certificate to #SimplyWonderfulToys for the best one! Stay safe!
Operation Remote Immunity has successfully offered first & second doses to all 31 fly-in First Nations communities & Moosonee
Thank you @NANComms, @Ornge, Indigenous leadership & the dedicated frontline workers for working together to stop the spread in these at-risk communities
Disagreement is not an attack.
Questioning is not an attack.
Challenging is not an attack.
Correction is not an attack.
Debate is not an attack.
If you can't encounter any of the above without feeling attacked, maybe the public square isn't for you.
Together, Canadian volunteers contribute over 155 million dollars worth of their time every day of the year.
Volunteers strengthen communities.

Today marks 1 year of the #COVID19 pandemic. Elders in LTC & racialized people were hit hardest.
We may have all weathered the same storm, but we were not in the same boat. Some were in yachts thriving. Others in rafts barely surviving.
Inequity is the heartbeat of injustice.

A huge thank you to all @yrp members including all first responders working on #familyday so others can enjoy time with their family. Please stay safe everyone.
Today, I will join a group of incredible advocates from across Canada for a panel discussion with @JustinTrudeau on the #COVID19 vaccine.
People experiencing homelessness = 5x more likely to die from the virus. I'll be calling on the PM to prioritize this group for vaccination.
If we are going to make Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) more accessible for Canadians, we have a duty & moral obligation to make housing, harm reduction services, mental health & income supports, more accessible too.
My latest in the @TorontoStar 🙏🏾.

Ontarians shouldn’t have to choose between self-isolating & putting food on their table.
That's why I signed the $19B Safe Restart Agreement, which includes $1.1B to cover the cost of 10 days of paid sick leave due to COVID-19.

To paraphrase Enrique Peñalosa:
A plowed and salted cycle track is a symbol that a child on a $30 bicycle is equally important as an adult inside a $30,000 car.
