Today, @fordnation announced accelerated expansion of alcohol sales at grocery stores. Ford has forced this strike to push his alcohol-everywhere agenda & to dismantle the LCBO while handing billions in public revenues over to the big box billionaires – a thread. 🧵#OnLab #OnPoli

Hey parents, you might want to check out this video again in light of the govt propaganda Lecce just required all school boards to send to parents claiming to have increased funding for education.

Your child is getting less support thanks to this govt, not more.

SAG LA Vice President Michelle Hurd explains that “you know those actors when you go ‘oh there’s that guy from that show’, you don’t necessarily know their names… those actors are working class actors who are literally working paycheck to paycheck.”

BREAKING: @fordnation just ended paying Doctors who treat those without OHIP cards like the homeless, extremely vulnerable folk with mental health issues, some seniors. CRUEL!!

Why yes, @LewisCapaldi is exactly the soundtrack I wanted at the orthodontists while they force my mouth into crazy positions to take pictures.

A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University: “I am 21-years-old and this is the second mass shooting I’ve lived through. We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.”

(1,19) Now What?

Five years ago, on Valentine’s Day in 2018, my day began like any other day in our home. My wife and I were getting ready for work, and we were sending our forever 14-year-old daughter Jaime and at the time 16-year-old son Jesse off to school.

Today is #BellLetsTalk Day! One of the ways we can all take action is to learn about mental health organizations creating positive change for mental health in Canada…every day.

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

Let me be clear.

Doug Ford and Pierre Poilievre's attack on education workers in Ontario is also an attack on:

- Parents
- Students
- The Education System

And, the constitutionally protected rights of every worker across our country to fight for better wages and benefits.

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

I cannot stress enough how critical this moment is. If governments in Canada can smash the constitution and legislate away the right to strike, collective bargaining rights are dead.

If collective bargaining rights die, workers across the country are goners.

That means you.

[This Hour Has 22 Minutes @22_Minutes]

The Ontario government says it has no choice but to pass a bill preventing a strike, because kids need to be in school so they can grow up, get jobs, and have their Charter rights taken away.

This weekend’s events have been completely life altering for people. The anger, shame, guilt, devastation, and grief are palpable around campus. Nothing about this can ever be swept under the rug. I hope @WesternU is ready to take action because I know the students are. 10/10

[kat @katrinaxdj]

I’m sorry for the culture perpetuated here that made people feel entitled to your body. I’m sorry that we couldn’t interfere sooner. I’m sorry that the university failed to keep you safe. I promise to listen to you, to stand with you, and to be your voice if you need one. 9/10

[kat @katrinaxdj]

Sure, the resource links came the next day. The USC has heard us out. Some of us were given time off school. But the trauma that so many sophs and first years are facing is unspeakable. My heart breaks for every single person who no longer feels safe here. I know I don’t. 8/10

[kat @katrinaxdj]

Between two residence buildings. Behind the 7/11. And somehow that location meant that Western wasn’t immediately obligated to help its own students who had just witnessed unspeakable atrocities. 7/10
