And I would add how the Premier mislead people over and over again that he would not touch the Greenbelt after this video became public. Promise made (many times), promise broken. #onpoli#GreenbeltScandal
We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.
Canada continues to repackage genocide and eugenics as *actually* friendly and helpful to Indigenous people. They've used the same approach to push residential schools, the sixties scoop, forced sterilizations, and so on. This needs to be identified and stopped NOW, not in 40 yrs
This #WorldAutismAwarenessDay let’s remember that in Ontario, there are more children waiting for autism services than can fit inside Rogers Centre.
A shameful @fordnation legacy.
The Ford government pats themselves on the back for a minimum wage increase that is far below a basic living wage.
An extra dollar won't make life affordable when minimum-wage earners cannot afford the average one- or two-bedroom apartment.

PLEASE RT: Ottawa Public Health & @OttawaPolice are issuing an alert to warn residents about an increased detection of xylazine and benzodiazepines in Ontario’s unregulated drug supply.

We don’t need million-dollar homes in the Greenbelt. The government’s own housing taskforce has debunked the claim that these lands are needed for housing.
We need homes that people can afford, in connected, affordable communities designed with people in mind. #onpoli
@duncanmccue Yup please make it law in Ontario to have winter tires. Got a lender car while our car was getting repairs from the dealership. WE had winter tires but THEY didn’t on the loaner. Middle of a snowstorm. Never been so scared SLIDING home in my life, it makes a HUGE difference .
I am pleased that both the Integrity Commissioner and the Auditor General have agreed to investigate Ford’s decision to break his often-repeated promise and open up certain areas of protected Greenbelt land for development. #onpoli
@fordnation@SylviaJonesMPP@CHogarthPC At no extra cost to us....on the surface. But they are billing someone for their time and the fine print here is that they are billing....Ontario, and taking from our health care system. I wish people would understand how this grift works
@fordnation@SylviaJonesMPP@CHogarthPC My GP as well as many others at the office and locally are all closing their practice at the same time . Coincidence? I think not. Ford is allowing our publicly funded Dr’s to be POACHED for privatization with all these changes !
This is the PC strategy – starve the public system of funding, demoralize nursing and personal support staff with the wage-suppressing Bill 124, watch wait times increase to record levels and sooner or later private delivery will look like a better option.
Doug Ford looks into the camera and says, “you’ll pay for your healthcare with your OHIP card, not your credit card,” much the same way he said, “we heard you loud and clear - we will not touch the Greenbelt.”

A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today.
When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.
Many of us work with cops everyday (especially in the psych wards) and if we could tell you how many times they actively escalated situations vs. using de-escalation skills it would be unbelievable.
On March 17, 2023, Canada will expand MAiD for mental illness without any plan to provide comprehensive access to mental healthcare for people who desperately need it. In other words, it will be easier to access MAiD than to access mental healthcare. This is beyond alarming.
