@AgainstAntisem @nationalpost This makes me hopeful. Thank you for your moral clarity

[Alex Pokras @thinkingline]

I hope this encourages as many people as possible to post just one item on https://t.co/OSaGXdnQdw to help a newcomer get settled more easily. #helpshare #RefugeesWelcome

Thank you to @TorontoStar for featuring https://t.co/OSaGXdnQdw in this article https://t.co/bS9L7iEwY2

On https://t.co/OVIqrNGi7R it's easy to find items needed by keyword by category and by location. For refugees who want to claim an item simply click on an ad and send a direct message or email to the poster. #RefugeesWelcome

I recently launched https://t.co/OVIqrNGi7R to help connect #refugees with #free items in their area. There are hundreds of items listed in the GTA and I am looking to connect with people across canada to expand the website to other large cities #refugeeswelcome

@lzalot @CBCHereandNow Hi Lindsay, we spoke to Alexandra Pokras of https://t.co/tzn7tDYEas.

@CBCdsouza it was lovely to speak with you on @CBCHereandNow about https://t.co/OVIqrNGi7R 🙌 I was wondering if there was a way to get the sound bite from the interview

@HydroOne all of #SaubleBeach has no power. Called the outage line to report and it's still not updated on the outage map. Can you provide an update?

This is definitely the longest day of 2020 #Elections2020

On top of that there is no regulation for private institutions about tuition - so now that I am back to work and paying for daycare if my kids are home for weeks due to mild symptoms I have to work while caring for my children AND paying tuition. How is this sustainable?

[Alex Pokras @thinkingline]

Why is runny nose a #COVID19 symptom in Ontario but excluded in Federal government and WHO lists? This is preventing kids with negative Covid tests from attending daycare and school and puts more strain on families @fordnation @celliottability @YorkRegionGovt @OntarioHealthOH

[Alex Pokras @thinkingline]

Ontario Health guidelines state that a child with a negative test can only return to school after they are 24hrs symptom free. So If they have no additional symptoms and a negative #Covid result but have a runny nose as so many kids have for weeks on end what are parents to do?
