It is time for #DougFord and our provincial government to remove the requirement for doctors notes for sick leaves under the ESA. We also need to rethink the 3-day limit. #onpoli #coronavirus #covid19Canada

Well written piece by @mspratt on yet another attack by the @fordnation government on our justice system. These threats to the integrity of our judiciary should not go unchallenged: https://t.co/JAyQH6qD73 #onpoli #Ontario

In Rooks v Park 'N Fly (https://t.co/kcDpVTD4t6), the defendant was forced to spend $106K against an unrepresented litigant at Small Claims. Plaintiff rejected all offers to settle, now owes $20k costs. Still think expanding small claims is the answer? (It’s not) #law #onpoli

I have written an opinion to the @TorontoStar (https://t.co/FhQ3GW6y0s) that I hope will be considered by Ont. Attorney General Hon. @douglasdowney. Ensuring accessible justice means maintaining access to superior court for $25K and above, expanding mediation, legal aid. #ONpoli

@SaraMojtehedz great piece on the perils of repealing Bill 148 but the opening line of your article is inaccurate. Generally, under the human rights code you cannot terminate employment for temporary illness.
