NEWS FLASH: Ontario’s nurses deserve so much more than just a one time payout, especially after all they’ve done to keep us safe during COVID…Nurses deserve the end of wage suppression. Nurses deserve respect. Nurses deserve so much more.

Who’s with me? ✋🏾

The people of Ottawa want their city back.

Retweet this if you stand with them.

So many of us want a #boostershot before the holidays so we could be around our loved ones and right now that doesn’t seem possible. I’ve been up for hours and I can’t find an appt anywhere.

#DougFord is the 2021 version of the grinch that stole Christmas. #onpoli

Retweet if you agree that our governments should send a package of rapid tests & N95 masks to every household, every week, for free.

Why is it that we’re two years into a pandemic and still systemically handling things like it’s March 2020? #onpoli #cdnpoli

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who stands united against Omicron. By moving up third vaccine doses for people 18+, providing rapid tests for free to all & acknowledging #COVIDisAirborne, we can get there.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

It's official. Starting today, people in Nova Scotia can pick up free rapid COVID tests at every single library in that province.

Meanwhile, in Ontario, 24 million rapid tests are sitting on shelves.

RT if you want access to free rapid tests now.

Can someone please tell me why we STILL don't have $10/day child care here in Ontario?

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

News flash: Paid sick days are not radical. Radical is denying your citizens the right to stay healthy during a pandemic.

@JustinTrudeau @theJagmeetSingh @jjhorgan Stop building the pipeline. Shut it down. We don't want. #WetsuwetenStrong

[Alex Folkes @afolkes]

@JustinTrudeau @jjhorgan @theJagmeetSingh I am calling on you to tell the RCMP to cease and desist, to vacate the Wet'suwet'en territory and to release any protesters who have been arrested.

[Alex Folkes @afolkes]

@JustinTrudeau @jjhorgan @theJagmeetSingh The RCMP has no right to be there, these are unceded indigenous lands. The Wet'suwet'en people on the other hand, have every right to peacefully protest the pipeline.

[Alex Folkes @afolkes]

@JustinTrudeau @jjhorgan @theJagmeetSingh I am extremely concerned about the violent actions of the RCMP currently taking place on the Wet'suwet'en territory. I am appalled that Canadian tax dollars are being used to arrest and mistreat indigenous people on their own land.

[Alex Folkes @afolkes]

Justin Trudeau & his Liberal government cannot claim to honour the spirits of children who died in residential schools when they continue to take Indigenous kids to court.

As settlers in Canada, we have a responsibility - both individually as people and collectively as a country- in reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. We're putting together a resource page at @oncanadaproject ➡️ https://t.co/ot0V5XLFGb

Hey @CHogarthPC I am so tired of being in a lockdown that achieves nothing. As my elected official I am asking you to vote for paid sick leave today. #onpoli #flipthescriptcanada

[Alex Folkes @afolkes]

I'm here to #FlipTheScriptCanada - I want my elected official to listen to the experts and take immediate action on the following steps forward by @COVIDSciOntario #onpoli @CHogarthPC

[Alex Folkes @afolkes]

@CHogarthPC I’m one of your constituents and I want to see paid sick leave, adequate ppe and vaccines for essential workers now. Let’s abandon the half-assed performative policies and start actually helping Ontario.

[Alex Folkes @afolkes]

This is why we need to get teachers vaccinated ASAP. Schools aren’t magical places where Covid can’t spread. That is a lie. Covid is spreading in schools and our educators deserve to be protected.
