Kingston NDP

Official Twitter account of the Kingston and the Islands NDP. We are fighting for progressive change in Kingston, in Ontario and in Canada.

Our executive has discussed it. We are concerned that with the decreased commitment to Twitter's content moderation may come an increase in hatred toward the people the KATI NDP commits to championing. We want to make sure we are protecting our people. (1/2)

@BayofQuinteNDP @Twitter (An additional reason for suspending our account is the awful treatment of workers.)

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Ford's use of the notwithstanding clause didn't just target education workers, it put the bargaining rights of all workers at risk - whether you work in a school, a factory or on a construction site.

So what did the Labour Minister do to stand up for workers? Nothing.

Not a dollar more to support patients and healthcare workers.

No money for affordable housing.

No money for education despite a $6 billion shortfall.

No increase to OW and ODSP rates.

Doug Ford isn't on your side.

With this in mind, we invite you to follow our Facebook page, as well as our brand new Instagram page. We will continue to provide updates to our supporters (and to our committed detractors) on these platforms while the situation with Twitter becomes clearer.

Lively ATU picket line here in TO.

The days of 124 are numbered.

“When the workers don’t get it….

SHUT IT DOWN!”

Ford must immediately recall the legislature to fully repeal Bill 28, return to the bargaining table now, and negotiate a fair deal for education workers.

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

Retweet if you agree that @fordnation needs to recall the Legislature TOMORROW to repeal Bill 28.

Let's get this done NOW. #onpoli

[OntarioHealthCoal'n @OntarioHealthC]

Where IS the urgency @fordnation?

The horror of having hospitals at 185% capacity looks like this⤵️

(For the uninitiated that means for every staffed hospital bed there are almost two patients- they're stacked in hallways & emerg- & staffing was already not enough for one.)

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

Accordingly, Ford doesn't care about "the people." He cares about his people and the relationships he can build with them for his success. Of course he wants to help people. His people and himself. Spolier: you probably aren't one of them.

Loblaws profits — $1 million in excess profits per day in 2022 so far.

Corporate grocery stores are driving greedflation and hurting Canadians everywhere.

The result?

1.5 million visits to food banks in one month.

Enough greed. It's time to tax excess profits.

[Chandra Pasma @ChandraPasma]

Yesterday was a major victory for everyone who pushed back against @fordnation bullying low paid workers who support our kids.

Now the government needs to build back trust with education workers, parents and students who just don't believe a word the premier says.

I am proud of Ontario Workers, @CUPEOntario, the @OntarioNDP, and everyone who stood with education workers to force the Conservative government to repeal Bill 28.

[Fred Hahn @FredHahnCUPE]

This is all due to the strength and courage of school board workers across the province, the persistence of their bargaining committee, and the solidarity of our union and of the labour movement!

[Kristyn Wong-Tam 🇨🇦 @kristynwongtam]

Why wait a week to repeal an unconstitutional bill that should've never been tabled?

Ford rushed his draconian bill last week when he forced a 5 a.m. sitting and now is taking his sweet time to repeal.

@OntarioNDP is ready to repeal Bill 28 today. Recall the house now.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Thanks to the determination of @osbcucscso workers & the historic show of solidarity from workers across the labour movement, along with parents and students - Ford has no choice but to repeal Bill 28.
When we stand together, we can win. #onpoli

[Joan Jardin @JoanJardin]

Another great demonstration of strength on the #ygk #CUPE line. @osbcucscso
Look who I met at today 'on the line' @davedoran78 and his brother-in-law. #Solidarity

[Joel Harden @JoelDHardenNDP]

From day one, you wanted to bully education workers.

And you just got schooled. That’s your legacy in #Ontario.

Enough spin. Get a fair deal done.
