@GOtransitST @GOtransitBus What is the status of weekend service returning to the Stouffville line? Little work appears to have been done since the service cuts months ago.

Okay, Ontario, we mustn't take our attention off Doug Ford and his daughter taking money from developers to destroy the #Greenbelt. We cannot afford to be distracted by John Tory.

Doug Ford is the real scandal.

[Roddy 🇨🇦 @RodKahx]

The John Tory story was leaked because people were getting too close to Doug Ford and the developers on the Greenbelt.

@MikePMoffatt York is also a huge magnet for high-net-worth migrants from places now in turmoil: Russia, Iran, Hong Kong, etc. Not suggesting we change immigration policy, but it would be interesting to study the effects on housing.

Happy Friday and good morning to the incredible CUPE education workers fighting back against the Ontario government's cruel & mean-spirited attacks.

As you begin your strike today, remember: Today & everyday, the people of Ontario stand with you. ✊🏾

[OFL @OFLabour]

Get ready to fight.

Retweet this if you stand in solidarity with CUPE education workers.

[OPSEU/SEFPO @OPSEU]

Bill 28 is an attack on all workers. OPSEU/SEFPO education workers will be walking off the job on Friday in solidarity with CUPE colleagues, and their union will have their back. https://t.co/hi8osgkUFV #39KisNotEnough #EducationMatters #onted #onpoli #onlab

While this government continues to attack women-led professions in healthcare and education, women have had enough with the bullying and disrespect.

My message to @fordnation & @Sflecce is clear: you just woke a beast in this province.

[Lisa Gretzky @LGretzky]

Let's not forget that Ford had no issue giving 73 MPPs on his side of the House a pay bump of $16,000.

But education workers earning $40,000 or less are greedy and unreasonable?

Make it make sense, @fordnation.

Who else thinks that CUPE education workers should get the raise they're asking for? ✋🏽

[AMAPCEO @AMAPCEO]

This govt's repeated override of public sector workers’ rights sets a dangerous precedent and sends a clear message. It suggests a complete lack of respect for the people of Ontario who carry out its very mission, and for the laws of this country. #onpoli

A "back to work" law is what the media and political elite call it. A more accurate term is "strikebreaking law." Such laws were once called a "forced labour laws." We do not have a free society without the right to strike. Democracy depends on civil disobedience.

@AMAPCEO We failed to make any progress on our main priority, let the employer gut our drug coverage, and somehow this is a win because of a TINY health spending account? The rank and file need to vote this down! #amapceo

[Firouz M. Naderi @Firouz_Naderi]

Can you imagine the US government sending armed guerrilla forces to Boston to surround Harvard and MIT and start killing students? Well, that is exactly what is going on in Tehran, Iran as I tweet this. The world media seems to be deaf and blind!!

Queue is such a great word. The actual important letter, and then four more silently waiting behind it in a line.
