Today, we remember #Parkland and the 17 people whose lives were cruelly taken at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High two years ago.
In the words of @AMarch4OurLives: "We remember them with love. We honor them with action."
February 14, 2020. Thirty years ago today, after passing Neptune on its way out of the solar system, Voyager-1 snapped Earth's first selfie -- the famous "Pale Blue Dot". Carl Sagan poignantly reflected on that image, with words that continue to resonate today.

Minister @DrFullertonMPP this is disgraceful. PSWs are brutally underpaid, overworked, and deal with daily physical & verbal abuse from patients... and your government has the audacity to take away their wage increases? As Minister of Long-Term Care I urge you to make this right.
This is just cruel. Doug Ford's “for the people” Conservatives are taking away negotiated wage increases from about 100 frontline healthcare workers at a not-for-profit long-term care facility “despite the employer's willingness to provide them.” #onpoli

Did you know that when you slip into that space between two transport trucks, you may be putting yourself at risk? Truckers can't stop on a dime in an emergency. In fact, you may be surprised how much space they need to stop safely.. #RoadSafety ^dr
The director of “Vaughan Working Families”, the group responsible for the now infamous $200,000 anti-teacher newspaper ads, travelled to India “on an Ontario government-led trade mission last year” with Minister Vic Fedeli. #onpoli#onted

Conservatives. are. not. fiscally. responsible. Do not fall for this con & talking point by Doug Ford's Conservatives. They are spending a record amount in Ontario while slashing every social service under the sun... and using our debt to justify those cuts. #onpoli#onted
Rearranging my week around the strike days, and I know it can be tough, but I think we need to support and respect our teachers’ job action and trust the process. They’re not walking out, they’re standing up for public education.
