Calling on Premier @fordnation to immediately #RepealBill124 to address the nursing crisis. Ontario is short over 22000 registered nurses, yet we have over 15000 #IENs unable to practice. Many of these IENs work in factories & grocery stores. Time to fix this!
Why isn't Ontario providing daycare providers rapid tests like Quebec? This would help reduce the risks of a Covid outbreak, avoid closing essential educational childcare services and help parents by allowing them to test at home instead of scrambling to find a test site. #onpoli
Many people do not have #paidsickdays (you can fix that #Ontgovt) so they cannot afford to take time off when their children are ill. Daycare is expensive in this province (again you can fix that Ont govt) and you pay whether or not your kid goes. We need leadership on this NOW.
So the official line is that people walking *on the sidewalk* in the downtown city need to be hyper-vigilant and ready to dive out of the way of an airborne SUV? 🤨

@anabailaoTO and @JohnTory What steps are you taking to get more speed cameras on our streets? Why not every corner like @shawnmicallef argues? The city needs the money and it would save lives. https://t.co/dhzb6EWZg0 via @torontostar
The discovery of buried remains of 215 children at a former residential school is horrific — but not shocking, writes Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond.

“If Cawthorn had claimed to be preparing for the 400 meters in the Summer Olympics, the press would have ridiculed him, but no one in media questioned his claims of training for the Paralympics.” https://t.co/kdpbKGqHjc
@maddow Great article @slooterman - “If Cawthorn had claimed to be preparing for the 400 meters in the Summer Olympics, the press would have ridiculed him, but no one in media questioned his claims of training for the Paralympics.”
The quotes here from (real) Paralympians are just devastating.
This is the same GOP congressman who also now says he had a gun on the House floor on January 6.
