🚨Physical spaces do not create child care programs🚨. It’s the people doing the work that do. No ECEs = no child care. There are ECEs out there who want to be in programs but can’t afford to, or are too burnt out to. The reasons behind the ECE shortage are not mysterious. 1/10

“‘Finding an early childhood educator seems like trying to find a unicorn these days,’ said Laurence. The industry is facing staff burnout, difficulties recruiting, and a lack of qualified workers, as waitlists continue to grow.”

#TTC workers are fighting to keep transit public and protect TTC service levels in Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough.

Across Toronto, transit riders are calling for a fair deal now!

Contact TTC CEO Rick Leary and decision-makers before midnight! https://t.co/y8saXa85Fk

Jay Williams, an educator at the Toronto District School Board and active leader in Toronto's Black community, died last Thursday at age 40.

He leaves behind precious legacy to Toronto's Black students. https://t.co/y2oYWKcl4p

Federal Cabinet Ministers will soon be voting on regularization! Join me to call on @JustinTrudeau & @MarcMillerVM to ensure equal rights and #StatusForAll 1.7 million migrants including undocumented people. Tell them to #RegularizeEveryone https://t.co/yeGlwcXGyq

[Joy Henderson @Joyhenderson78]

All of you "progressives" who uncritically support people like @MaritStiles and @MayorOliviaChow are what is wrong with the NDP.

You have a "feel good" knowledge of the issues affecting the most marginalized. You say "decolonize now" with no idea of what that means. #onpoli

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

Just now in Parliament, Canada once again REFUSED to call for a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s bombardment of civilians in Gaza, which has killed more than 1,000 children in just over a week. @cafreeland repeats that Canada “support[s] the State of Israel.”

[Chloe Brown @chloebrown4TO]

Tell @oliviachow @MayorOliviaChow to clean house NOW

No more fluffy, feel-good rhetoric and committees - how is this different from Tory?

Fire Gord Tanner, Rick Leary, and anyone else accelerating Toronto's decline with bad management skills #TOpoli

Minister, perhaps you need to be reminded of your own words.
Rather than musing about policy changes that would out #2SLBGTQIA+ kids, you would do well to combat the HATE they face EVERY DAY.
We can't promise every home is a safe one but we can damn well ensure every school is.

#BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford reversing his government's decision to open Greenbelt, saying it was a "mistake."

[Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi @birgitomo]

Nurses who steal medications, patient belongings, or hospital property are usually fired with a strong possibility of losing their nursing license. Yet, Premier Doug Ford claims to be attacked by Ontarians who are asking for accountability about the #GreenbeltGrab

Let's keep up the pressure. There must be consequences.

Here's a thread of all the #adhd symptoms & related traits I had as a child that were completely and totally missed:

[Green Cllr Scott @cllrLisaScott]

Spain, close enough to make us want to do something about the climate emergency? Nah, just carry on as we are.

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Time for every news story & @environmentca forecast about terrible wildfires & air pollution to include clear link to climate change: ‼️ "A warming planet leads to increased severity & frequency of wildfires across the world resulting in air pollution." https://t.co/plMLAqTN3D

[Jes Cerdeña, MD, PhD (she/her) @jes_cerdena]

My biggest takeaway from the Titan story is that we absolutely could have coordinated, multinational efforts to ensure no migrant dies crossing the sea and we choose not to.

[Chiara Padovani @chipadovani]

PS: On Monday, don’t vote for a mayor who wants to remove cycling infrastructure and de-prioritize the safety of vulnerable road users. Vote for a mayor who’s going to bring road safety to YSW and the rest of the city because we deserve it - we always have.

@Joyhenderson78 I just got another booster. It’s hitting people extra hard this time around

[Sassy Travis @SassyTravis]

A school in Paris Ontario had their pride/progress flag stolen. This was their response.

And here’s me on the train. Thanks trains 🚂

[matrisha/ patrícia🏞 @MatrishaTheRECE]

Yesterday, as I was about to leave for the downtown airport @porterairlines cancelled my 8PM flight to Ottawa. I got a text at 6:49. Their website kept freezing and I couldn’t get through to customer service. I had no idea if I was going to get on a plane on the same day. +

[matrisha/ patrícia🏞 @MatrishaTheRECE]

Here’s the screenshot of the text alerts from @porterairlines, with time stamps. I don’t think I will #FlyPorter again if I can help it.
