There is nothing “reasonable” about the contemplation of using the notwithstanding clause in regards to helping the unhoused. Rather than pander to the ask from Ford to “ask me for it”, let’s collectively demand that the prov properly fund ODSP, mental health care, housing etc

Lisa was the worst thing to happen to Autistic people in Ontario. Behind closed doors she would threaten Providers that it would be a long 4 years if they didn’t back her! @LouisBusch can confirm. I hope you get far away from politics . What @GailVazOxlade said

Ontario paramedics face an increased risk of cancer, according to a new study. Paramedics are particularly vulnerable to melanoma and prostate cancer, likely due to carcinogenic exposures encountered during emergency responses. bit.ly/4dGKLoR

Reposting as a reminder that in fact MZO's and "strong mayor powers" do not override the Duty to Consult with First Nations. @TwpofScugog @ChiefsofOntario @AnishNation @envirodefence @OntarioNature #ONpoli @PaulCalandra @Andrea_Khanjin @RockCouncillor

There is a housing shortage in Ontario, but let’s be clear that MZOs or “strong mayor powers” do not override the Duty to Consult with First Nations. MSIFN has spoken out on the dangerous and short-sighted development plans in the past, (1/2) durhamregion.com/news/council/c…

Take a look at the huge march & rally against Ford's privatization of our public health care! We are continuing to build the fightback. We will not let them privatize our public hospitals. #onpoli #onhealth #toronto

Many don't know First Nations were denied federal election voting rights for many years.  Did you know that citizens of fellow Williams Treaty Nations, @CurveLakeFN & @HiawathaFN , were the first in Ontario allowed to vote in a 1960's federal election? cbc.ca/news/indigenou…
