#BREAKING: Liberal candidate Kevin Vuong of Spadina-Fort York faced a sexual assault charge in 2019 which was later withdrawn by the Crown. Liberals were “first made aware today.” They have told Vuong to “pause campaigning." I spoke with the complainant. thestar.com/politics/federal…

Anti-choice actors are targeting people seeking abortion with lies about a fake “abortion reversal pill”—help us counter this dangerous disinformation by sending an email to Health Minister @PattyHajdu: bit.ly/3gcOFuH

If a school board funded by public money refuses to acknowledge and support its queer population, it should be stripped of its funding.

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.

All of the funds raised go directly to frontline workers to support their mental health. Free music therapy for the frontline - 90’s edition. Check out this lineup. Tune in to enjoy the live music! Let your backbone slide...

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.

In general I think people who work at the CBC should have few restrictions imposed on what they're allowed to do outside of work but I think volunteering for the cops and helping them beat the shit out of 20-year-old skateboarders should probably be out of the question

Hello! Tonight we are going to teach you about oversaturated markets in the gig economy. “Instacart hiring 200,000 new workers” is a great PR spin But the biggest reason gig companies oversaturate markets is because it brings workers’ earnings down.

3000 cases everyday - a new normal but @fordnation still hasn't signed an emergency order banning evictions! Is it not an Emergency yet? We are demanding that the Premier signs the emergency order NOW so that each individual has a home: acorncanada.org/take-action/… #houseishealth
A new report shows that defunding the police in Toronto by 25% would mean $340,000,000 more to support people experiencing homelessness, substance use & mental health crises. Defunding the police means refunding our communities. Spread the word.

We're Alphabet workers. We’ve been organizing for over a year, & we’re finally ready to share why. This morning, we're announcing #AWU, the first union open to *all* workers at any Alphabet company. Every worker deserves a union—including tech workers. nytimes.com/2021/01/04/techn…
