@MikeJef52847703@globalnews Lol I can assure you, A guy who gives the go ahead for multiple pipelines during yet another hottest year on record while people literally cook to death in their homes does not have a green obsession.
Ontario burns as @MarkJCarney and @fordnation both chase deals with foreign nationals to build more pipelines and tear up our forests to extract more critical minerals Canada would be better off if we replaced rhe entire cabinet with citizens using random selection.

In 2019, we went to the doors, schools, and townhalls of my neighbors in the Jane and Finch community to ask what was wrong and what we could do. Today, I'm a part of the 211 crisis pilot project that's going city wide. Tsk, and they say we didn't win 😉

Looking at the salaries of; a minimum wage transit rider $31k, Doug Ford $208k, TTC CEO Rick Leary $473k, Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster $838k, it looks like the more detrimental your organizations effect on public transit = the more you make. #ttc#onpoli#transit#accountability
This evening I hosted a townhall discussion where all viewpoints were welcomed.
Democracy means listening to other opinions, and treating people with respect.
That's why I had the four people who disagreed with me arrested, and dragged out of the hall.
Watch here:
It *is* possible that one or two of the 2668 billionaires on the planet became that way without the use of slavery or stolen land. But considering our ENTIRE economy was built on the backs of slavery and colonization; it's REAL unlikely.
A huge win for the good team!
Never forget the power of loud public dissisdence! That said, it's a disgusting embarrassment that Indigenous people had to endure the @RCMP's documented violence while they defended THEIR land from the Canadian government for nearly 20 years.
An important Victory! 🔥🎉✊ Ontario abandons its plans to open up #GrassyNarrows’ traditional forest to commercial logging for the next 10 years. Thanks to those who joined the community in this fight by writing letters and making calls!

Spending $76 million dollars on complaints by air travelers whose vacations weren't ideal while families starve and thousands of homeless people are waiting their turn to die on the streets is the dystopia we were all warned about. We need to stop bailing out the privileged.
#BREAKING: The Canadian Government announced Tuesday it will provide close to $76 million over three years to the Canadian Transport Agency (CTA) in an effort to reduce the recent backlog of a 'record number' of air traveller complaints.

I became homeless when I got pneumonia, then shingles, then pneumonia again, and @Manulife refused to pay my insurance. I lost everything, everyone treated me like garbage, and the only reason I'm alive and able to house myself for 6 years now is because a farm family took me in.
An Ontario woman’s decision to hire a man experiencing homelessness to work on her farm on a whim is showing the power of kindness and the ability of community to change lives. https://t.co/dpsJd8qMaa
@JoshDehaas@CTVNews The Mississaugas actually only received 34 Million, $20,000 x 1700. The other 111 Million remains in the hands in the government 'in trust' for future generations. So yeah..34 Million for the land Toronto sits on....hell of a steal, eh?
The right changes can't happen unless we te them what needs to be changed. Please consider sharing your ideas to make this city a better, safer, inclusive place to live, for everyone's sake.
People's Budget TO wants to hear YOUR thoughts on the City of Toronto's 2023 Budget. What do you imagine when you think of a budget that is truly reflective of your needs?
Take the survey by Feb 10th! Do YOUR needs match The City of Toronto’s priorities? https://t.co/EvqCXv1Qqg
I left politics to persue social work and community mental health because the students of @WestviewCentSS told me first hand what they fear more than anything: The police. There is NO room for police in our schools, it's a precursor to trauma, I promise you. #onted#TDSB
Fwiw, this is the amount of immigrants that have enriched Canadas cultural tapestry over the years. The increase in immigration isn't really news and shouldn't be an issue to anyone with half a brain.
#ImmigrationMatters
Those who can afford to, thrive. Those that can't; get stuck in an abysmally underfunded education system that lowers the glass ceiling substantially. This is what conservative governments do.
Ontarians are sharing single dwelling units and a quarter of us are going hungry while @fordnation decides to help their landlord buddies raise rent so *they* can cope with rising inflation. This is going to be a long 4 years.

@VladpVP@Ecohesian@birgitomo Or maybe that time the @liberal_party called a snap election during a pandemic when no one was allowed to leave thier home?
Voter suppresion is real and its working.
@VladpVP@Ecohesian@birgitomo Aside from the word Gerrymandering being literally invented to describe one of the many ways politicians suppress voters, there's many articles proving voter suppresion like this one, when politicians called voters and gave them false polling station info
