Imagine if this was a "new, interactive map" of family MDs and nurse practitioners "across the province" accepting new patients; ERs with no hallway gurneys; and detox facilities ready to help people improve their lives. The things that matter more right now.

[Laura Walton @waltonmom]

Doug spends tax $$ on interactive maps to cross picket lines.
Here are maps I would like to see
-fully staffed ERs with minimal waits
-available family drs
-healthy schools w/air filtration, safe water & fully staffed
-mental health supports
-affordable housing
Get ‘er done

Ontario has cut 5,000 classroom positions since 2018. Yes, cell phones are a distraction. The real problem is the underfunding of public schools. #onted #onpoli.

How many positions has your school board lost? See the board-by-board breakdown below.

In all the wars I've covered, all the devastation I've seen, there's been one universal truth.

Grieving mothers all cry in the same language.

Today was AMAZING! LCBO workers are worth more than a measly .75% lump sum increase after years of 1% wage increases. With a cost of living crisis, this is a slap in the face. LCBO workers r taking their power back. We rallied inside a flagship store and just had a blast!

We knew Canadians supported the @psac_afpc, but it’s nice to see the data support it.

Still trying to get my head around argument from anti-union forces that bargaining for a raise below inflation “will drive up inflation” but record profits, exec comp won’t.

I know I only took a few graduate school level economics courses but this claim seems …. Questionable.

[PSAC-AFPC @psac_afpc]

We are fighting to set a standard in the federal public service and to set a standard for all workers.

@halleberry Thank you so much for the much needed amplification of this sickening, racist attempt at murder and the injustice that is continuing. The Go Fund Me link for Ralph's medical expenses is here: https://t.co/VPkojmMwwF

French authorities must ensure the safety of protesters and refrain from using unnecessary or excessive force.

A beautiful start to spring! AKA Best Day EVER! Helen Naslund – an Alberta grandmother, farmer and abuse survivor – today walked out of federal prison to begin her new life on day parole. She is home and with her kitties, Star and Jewel. It has been a long journey for Helen 🧵

BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Refugees have fled war and conflict.

Refugees have also fled persecution due to religion, ethnicity, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, and more.

They all have different stories and journeys.

They all matter.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Or, and hear us out, what if the government stepped in to regulate the giant corporations price-gouging food and made breakfast more affordable.
