I love writing, improv, hiking, storytelling, being a mom, and knowing the news.

As Ford privatizes cataract surgeries, access for the wealthiest in Ontario has grown by over 20% while it has declined for the rest of us, and by 9% for the most marginal. Wealthiest enclaves are in yellow on this map – the rest of us in blue. It’s the inverse of universality.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

You are worthy & valuable regardless of whether you are exactly what a specific person or organization wants, needs, finds attractive, finds entertaining, or finds socially or financially useful.

Regardless of what your trauma programming is whispering in your ear right now.

Ford's Cons: working for Enbridge.

Cons to introduce legislation forcing existing customers to pay for pipeline expansions overriding an Ontario Energy Board ruling that expansions are a rip-off for customers and bad for the environment.

Fun fact: When the Conservatives waived $500 MILLION in Developer's Fees, that $$$ is now paid by municipal tax payers (PS - That's YOU!).

As your property taxes rise and your municipal services decline, think about how Doug Ford makes YOU pay for HIS well-connected friends!

It's 5:03 p.m. in Ontario but we've got BREAKING NEWS: The Narwhal has learned the Ontario government is mulling changes to environmental laws that it believes will block lawsuits from landowners and fast-track highway, energy and transit projects. #onpoli https://t.co/r44T3iT3WA

Not everybody understands the strong link between complex trauma and chronic pain. Or difficulty sleeping. Or dysregulated eating.

The "complex" in complex trauma isn't just about its origin. It's also about how that trauma shows up in our bodies, lives, and relationships.

All I want for Christmas is for everyone in Ontario to call their MPPs and say NO to bulldozing Ontario Place West Island to build a giant spa. Save these trees and save Ont taxpayers’ money, by relocating or cancelling Ford’s misguided spa project.

Profits at the Grocery Stores are the reason your food bill is so high. Not Trudeau. #Greedflation

Conservatives forced a 30hr voting marathon consisting of 135 votes, where they voted against essential supports for Canadians.

Not only did this political stunt cost taxpayers money but Conservative MPs didn’t show up to vote for a good portion of the time.

Rape is always wrong, whether used in conflicts or outside of them. Rape is always used as a weapon, a weapon that says I hold the power while you hold none. Rape is always dehumanizing. Rape happens every day throughout the world.

Except that your government is proving the necessity of the Federal Impact Assessment by not having the best interest of Ontarians or the planet at heart! We don’t need a massive parking lot at Ontario Place, and we need an environmental assessment of West Island. #onpoli

[Friend of the Golden Horseshoe @GGHfriends]

Due to public outcry, cost of infrastructure and tainted decision making - over 7000 hectares, 17,000 acres of farmland destined for sprawl reversed. Now its time to #stopthe413, a $10 billion #sprawl inducing highway crossing the headwaters of three rivers, 100's of #wetlands

[GASP4Change @Gasp4Change]

Public business on a personal phone.

That is not under dispute.
Ford and the House Leader admitted he does this in the legislature.
This is the House of the People.

Release those records, be open and accountable to the people of Ontario.

@KingaSurmaMPP It's not what Ontarians want. It's that simple. The near century lease with a foreign company is secret and Ontarians don't trust you.

[Rob Gosse @RobGosse1]

@KingaSurmaMPP The easiest way to fix this is cancelling the unnecessary destruction of the Science Centre, move the Therme spa to a more suitable location, and suddenly we don’t need a $650 M underwater parking garage at the already successful Ontario Place.

Simple, and everyone wins.

[coolermama 🇨🇦 @Coolermama]

@KingaSurmaMPP I like the Ontario science centre where it is, thanks, where people from across Ontario can get to it just off the 401 without having to fight our way in and out of downtown Toronto.

[Kate @DrKateTO]

@KingaSurmaMPP We all know that the only reason you are even talking about moving the Science Centre to Ontario Place is to try and justify the massive half billion $$$ cost of a MegaSpa parking garage to taxpayers. No thanks! #NoThermeTO
