“We need more Black queer women and femmes elected. We need to create safer spaces where people who are diverse actually feel accepted and responded to and not in a tokenistic way.” @JILLSLASTWORD talks being the first Black queer MPP in Ontario.

I'll be at QP Sat 12:01AM, to oppose @fordnation abuse of power!
Ford is fighting for FORD not you!

Instead of #notwithstandingclause power grab he should be helping our communities recover! Tonight, I'll be fighting for us #tostpauls!

TUNE IN!

When does internet following and therefore content uploaded by an individual make someone a ‘broadcaster’ to be regulated by CRTC? ⁦ https://t.co/H89e1iclqn

I get the need for due process but the fact that none of us know the outcome of a trial when we literally have the murder ON VIDEO means that no matter how this goes, this country is in need of massive change.

#PaidSickDaysNow
#TorontoStPauls too many of our essential workers are having to go to work sick because they fear losing income or worst yet losing their home! #Bill239

[The 519 @The519]

In light of the #Ontario’s government’s announcement today to extend the province’s #COVID19 lockdown restrictions, the government has also given the police and other provincial law enforcement officers enhanced authority to stop individuals in public.

As the Toronto Star recently reported: According to data from Toronto Public Health, a full 68 per cent of all workplace COVID-19 outbreaks so far have taken place in offices, warehouses, construction sites and food processing plants. (many open still!) #onpoli

.@fordnation doesn’t know how people of colour are affected by carding, because he doesn’t experience it. It’s how he approaches all policy. Bad on housing, because he’s never been in need. Bad on transit, because he doesn’t ride it. If he isn’t touched by it, he doesn’t get it.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

I have not heard ONE dr in an ICU or ER talk about people in parks as a major transmitter of COVID. I have heard them say workplaces, lack of paid sick days etc is a major transmitter/issue.

This government is in the pockets of big corporations, developers. This is gaslighting

[Dr. Jill Andrew, PhD (she/her) @JILLSLASTWORD]

@TorontoPolice Thanks for posting. However, can you unpack 'arbitrary' b/c carding and racial profiling have never been banned by @fordnation or the previous Liberal govt at that. Racial profiling and carding is still legal in Ontario. How can one 'know their rights' within this context?

[Alejandra Bravo @BravoDavenport]

Authoritarian government in effect #onpoli More police powers, prohibiting playgrounds

The people want #PaidSickDays but being anti-worker is their priority

Depriving young people of a life we owe them. My fury is mutinous

[NatashaGarda @gardanat]

@Althevite @sammvite @annpornel I don’t believe that bc I know for a fact she has a subscription

[NatashaGarda @gardanat]

@Althevite @sammvite Interesting. On that note, did you know his funeral has been ‘meticulously planned for decades, likely using the code name ‘Operation Forth Bridge’”?
