Regardless of partisan stripe, we should all be deeply troubled that less than 40% of eligible Ontarians voted. There were clear differences & huge issues. We need to restore higher voter turn out. Getting rid of FPTP would help! @FairVoteCanada@MikeSchreiner@morricemike#vote
Alright! Tmrw is election day in Ontario. Let's take a deep dive into platform commitments re: democratic reform. I've produced a report card comparing thirteen parties (each party with 10+ candidates). The full report is at https://t.co/Y4lEN0o6aP, but I'll break it down here:
#RestoreLocalChoice pledge campaign update (May 26)
73 candidates have signed the pledge!
@OntarioGreens are leading with 32 candidates, incl party leader!
@OntLiberal are next--22 candidates
@OntarioNDP have 18 pledge takers
1 independent @SamKaplun took the pledge.
Ontario Greens have never wavered in our calls to #StopThe413.
The $10B it would cost to build this destructive & expensive highway would be better spent on:
๐ก Affordable housing
๐ฅ Health care
๐ Education
Greens will #StopTheSprawl โ

@codingphase hey man, love your content. Are you planning any updates to Shopify app dev stuff that reflects the latest version of their app-node scaffolding? (ie: no Koa and next.js) Auth and session management are quite different now.
Wanna radically improve #mentalhealth? Give people housing. End poverty. Promote food security. Be anti-racist. Fund harm reduction. Offer workers paid sick days. Provide equitable healthcare (especially mental healthcare) to all...Equity IS mental health. ๐๐ฝ

Hi @theJagmeetSingh@JustinTrudeau
A Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform must be part of any deal.
We can't wait any longer, the time to act is now. I voted for you, JT, the first time based on that promise. You are long overdue to live up to it.
#ElectoralReform
The red dots = pharmacies now providing vaccines
The red blank spot = Toronto's Northwest corner (one of the areas hardest hit by #COVID19 & where many low-income racialized people live)
Why is Ontario's #CovidVaccine distribution plan leaving out those most affected?
