Located next to an abandoned graveyard, The Clown Motel is a monument to all things clown-related, with thousands of clowns (life-sized and smaller) decorating the interior of the motel. At least it doesn’t seem to be haunted. (We think.) bit.ly/2MPHfRl

There are two OCDSB candidates in #Ottawa that I want to highlight. @patricia_kmiec is an educator running against Donna Blackburn and @Alysha4Zone2 is focused on equity running against a candidate who would not make our schools safe for 2SLGBTQ+ students. Please Donate/Support.

“Ontario’s Bill 124, which caps wage increases for nurses at one per cent a year for three years, sends a message, nurses said. You’re not valuable. You’re dispensable.
The entire health system would, in fact, collapse without them.” #onpoli @fordnation
