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.
NEW: Brett Ellerman's steady presence at wide receiver, and the emergence of new offensive weapons, have the @WesternMustangs poised for a strong @OUAsport playoff run. @francescadenob has more ...

The two biggest existential issues facing #Canada at this moment are the #ClimateEmergency & justice for #Indigenous peoples. The question for journalists is whether we will use our platforms to press the parties and their leaders on these critical issues during #Election2021.
Myles Manalo, star linebacker for the @WesternMustangs, overcame injury, navigated a virtual Combine, and waited until the @CFL draft's final pick to hear his name. Now, he's prepping for his @Ticats debut. @francescadenob has more:

A third school found the remains of Native children buried under their school.
Think about that. Hundreds of bodies of children are being found. That’d be massive news if it wasn’t Native kids. Where is the outrage? Where is the support? Why doesn’t anyone care?
My Dad rarely spoke about residential school. However, one thing that stuck with me was his account of how the older boys would position themselves closer to the door in the dorms so the younger boys wouldn’t be chosen when the priests came to get them at night. #215children
We couldn't be prouder of our A&H Dean, Michael Milde, who is the inspiring teacher that @theJagmeetSingh references here. The positive impact a great teacher can have on a student is powerful! #ThankATeacherDay#WesternUniversity
When you were 11 did you hand-write 3 chapters of the first book of a planned trilogy and then completely forget about it until you discovered the notebook as an adult and were horrified or were you normal
I'm currently studying for my Canadian citizenship test (don't even get me started), but I think Canadians really need to know the kinds of rhetoric shared with newcomers. The section on residential schools is a paragraph long and describes them as "schools to educate".🧵
The Ford government, who repeats at nauseam they are “for the people”, has voted 21 times against something that is supported by 83% of people in Ontario. During a pandemic. Think about that. #PaidSickDaysSaveLives#PaidSickDaysNow#VoteFordOut2022#onpoli
A publicly funded university in Ontario just declared bankruptcy.
Terminated 100 faculty members, even more support staff. Ended over 65 academic programs.
The Ontario PC government just sat down and watched it all happen. Did nothing.
Let that sink in for a moment.
What is happening @ Laurentian University is HORRIBLE for Northern Ontario. The Midwifery program is the only bilingual program of its kind & the only one in the North. Northern citizens deserve barrier-free access to education!!!!!!!!
Student outbreaks. Don’t blame it on students. Blame it on landlords renting one house to 9 students who share 1 modem & 2 bathrooms. Profs, ask your students about their housing situations. If we don’t know because we didn’t ask, are we less complicit somehow? I don’t think so.
