Ontario, Canada's most populated province, was just hit with their worst snowstorm in years.

It led to school closures, traffic jams, and police warning people to stay home.

It also led to the most amazing acts of kindness you’ll ever see.

The ultimate in proving his point. My @UBCNursing colleague @BernieGarrett has his book on deceptive healthcare practices scammed by a fake author. And for the moment, Amazon is listing both. #ScamAlert @nnp_bc @canadanurses

Going through my MA @RoyalRoads was one tough journey... you think you have the funds until you get in. I was blessed to receive bursaries & awards that supported me to successfully complete. In 2019 I established the https://t.co/rBm3x6xbzf to give back. @b1614 @jen_chu7

McDonald’s worker in the US: $9/hr

McDonald’s worker in Denmark: $22/hr, 6 weeks of annual vacation, a union, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and pension.

America must join the rest of the industrialized world and ensure that our working class can live with dignity.
