@fordnation @JustinTrudeau You have screwed up big time with this one, Doug. If you supported children you wouldn't gut healthcare and education and their future worker rights! Now go TESTIFY OR RESIGN.

Single people, paying rising mortgages and bills on their own, are going to be hit by the cost of living crisis too. Yet politicians, the news.. it’s always families. We never, ever get a mention. Just the occasional acknowledgment would be nice.

@lifebettergreen Congratulations!

@jackiantonovich It won’t just be two weeks, you are right to be concerned. Care less about work and more about you. Take the breaks you need, knit more, it’s okay to watch tv, eat comfort food and buy larger pants.

Good morning & happy Tuesday to everyone advocating for the Ontario government to distribute free COVID rapid tests to all. Making people spend $40 at Shoppers Drug Mart when other provinces are giving them out for free, just isn’t fair.

Make. Rapid. Tests. Accessible. Now.

@chelseaperetti planning what object he’ll destroy next.

@Smitty0066 @jean_yoon Yes, this is what is used where I work, English as an Additional Language (EAL).

@BaskingSnark Update: Sweater has been pulled out and I’ll start again tomorrow. Will be knitting in the larger size.

[Amanda Gray @ejgray20]

@BaskingSnark Currently on week three of wondering if I knit this sweater in the right size, or I may just be putting off finishing it. So I started a hat.

[Amanda Gray @ejgray20]

@BaskingSnark Saw this and it made my day. Count me in.

Things that annoy me about Canadian elections:

Fed parties making campaign promises on areas that are the jurisdiction of the provinces.

They know they can blame the provinces when the campaign promise isn’t kept.

Ontario desperately needs #PaidSickDays.

If you agree RT.

A must read by @SonjaEKnutson.

“If universities don’t grasp the fact that internationalisation is a process that transforms every aspect of the academy, their internationalisation policies are likely to falter or fail.”

@VaxHuntersCan Do provinces have a similar breakdown to show the vaccine allocation by region or Health Unit?

[Cheri DiNovo @CheriDiNovo]

The hashtag #WhereisDougFord is easily answered. He's taking a #PaidSickDay which is what every worker in #Ontario should be able to do!

Anyone else wondering if the 40+ broke @Rogers trying to book COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments? #rogersoutage

[Dr. David M. Kaplan @DavidKaplanMD]

In Toronto? Are you over 55? Book your AstraZeneca vaccine for TOMORROW at our @NYT_HP partner clinic. https://t.co/LJKFqhvGoy The evidence is clear - the AZ vaccine is highly effective at preventing severe COVID-19 and death & the risks are extremely rare. @VaxHuntersCan

@fordnation And now provide sick leave so those sick can stay home and not have to worry about lost wages #PaidSickDaysNow
