I stood before the Senate to address the commemorable efforts of the community hero, Eddie Carvery from Africville, Nova Scotia. It is time we amplify the voices of those who have been unheard for far too long, and ensure that justice prevails. #EddieCarvery #Africville

City of Barrie bylaw, if passed today, would fine people for giving food, water or shelter materials to homeless people in city parks. I had to read this multiple times, what the hell?

All while schools are cutting student supports, foodbank lines are record-length, shelters are at capacity each night, nurses are run off their feet (if not out the door).
These aren't excess funds. They're WITHELD funds. From Ontarians who need investment in THEM. Now. #ONPoli
NEW: Ontario’s Progressive Conservative government is sitting on more than $22 billion in “excess funds,” according to the province’s watchdog, with no transparency on how that money will be used over the next four years.

I am so proud of my partner @NotishaMassaqu1. She is a rockstar community leader, professor, and advocate for women’s health. But she is also an amazing partner and mom!

I have a lot to say right now. People who are camping that I’ve spoken to this week are done with it — things are really bad. They want housing that doesn’t exist. We need agency support with the current plan. We cannot keep surviving in survival mode. We need a new direction.

“Do you represent us as injured workers? Do you represent our families who hurt when we are hurting?
So today, we’re sending a message that we’re not going to back down. It’s about respect for injured workers.”

Toronto’s non-profits punch above their weight. They do so much for us.
As your Mayor, I’ll improve and increase core funding so that non-profits can focus on their vital work, instead of spending all their time chasing grants.

The pride flag is a a reminder that no matter who you love or how you identify, you BELONG. This move by YCDSB tells LGBTQIA2S+ children & youth, they don’t.
It’s 2023. How have we not moved past this to let people live, learn & LOVE in the way they were meant to?
