Wong-Tam introducing panel discussion about to get underway. She says they couldn't decide at first what hashtag should be, but they settled on the old #StoptheOMB. "I can't believe but we're here to do it again," she says, asking residents to tag @SteveClarkPC and @fordnation
The city’s most vulnerable will have trouble finding legal help to fight evictions, says Jack de Klerk, director, legal services, Neighbourhood Legal Services at a press conference at city hall to protest cuts to legal aid.
Rexdale Community Legal Clinic will have to refer clients to city councillors and MPPs because they won’t be able to represent them due to provincial cuts to legal aid, says Yodit Endemariam, acting director, legal services.
One of the top "social and educational tools to succeed" would be a social and educational infrastructure that isn't gutted by Ford and the @OntarioPCParty#onpoli
Every day this government continues to assault Public Health with aspersions of fear mongering, while refusing to do *any* due diligence, insults not just Public Health professionals, but the memory of victims *who fought and died* for the public health system we have today.
