Good morning! Call Doug Ford's office at 416-325-1941 and demand paid sick days for all #PaidSickDays
THREAD: 1/6 The individualization of COVID risk is a political strategy the government deploys to distract from the reasons why we're in this mess to begin with, and to redirect your fear and anger towards those who are least to blame, and most vulnerable. #onpoli

behind every cop who murders a 13-year-old child, there is a city lawyer working to keep the video secret, a prosecutor lying about it in court, a mayor giving cops more money and weapons, and a professor with a consulting firm deciding which "reform" will make the most money.

Our organizers talking about #vaccinesforall migrants being kicked off news shows because #PrincePhilip died is peak Canada. And sir, at least ONE MILLION people in Canada don't have health cards which you need to get life saving healthcare. Space for just 1 issue it seems.

Crazy how as a woman you can get sexually assaulted and not realize till years later because of how some things are normalized and being young minded can make you think it’s alright

I don’t like that self-appointed vaccine cops are creating an atmosphere where folks feel pressured to disclose personal health information to explain why they’ve been vaccinated. I know we’re all stressed and shit but mind ya business.
