Way to go, TVO.
It will be good to have you back.
The TVO/CMG strike is over. It was the second most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. Although we didn't get the wage gains we were hoping for I'm incredibly proud of all we accomplished and I think TVO will be a fundamentally better place to work going forward. #onpoli

BREAKING: Is the OPP Ford's personal security force or are they supposed to work for all of us in #Ontario ? Maybe the AG could look at them next?
NEW: The OPP asked Toronto police to staff the stag & doe party that developers & lobbyists went to at Doug Ford’s house last year, but we’re dissuaded by Ron Taverner, emails show.
There were “750 guests,” invited to the $150/ticket party, police wrote.

Ford’s plan to move the Science Centre into a considerably smaller venue & spend at least $650m of your money to decimate a public park for a luxury spa isn’t a good deal for Ontario.
Looking forward to the Auditor General’s report.
#ONpoli
Ontario’s auditor general is conducting a value-for-money audit into the controversial re-development of Ontario Place, Global News has learned, as the Ford government faces intense backlash over its decision to host a mega spa on crown lands.

$5.4 BILLION in a RAINY-DAY-FUND!!?
Attention Doug Ford’s Conservatives: IT’S RAINING!!🌧️
The @fordnation "rainy day" fund balloons to $5.4 B.
But remember, there is no money for healthcare and public education, both of which have experienced savage cuts and now face increasing labour shortages.
I hate this govt.

Thank you for mentioning ODSP
Disabled lack of funding must be on every reporter's lips today and every day until it is increased.
The Historic 5% and annual increases since 1995 have never kept up to inflation
No more excuses ~79% increase is needed!
NEW - The Finance Minister will table the fall economic statement today. Sources tell me it will first & foremost be a fiscal update, but will also include initiatives on priority files for the government like building homes & infrastructure. I’ll join @citytammie w/ a preview at 8AM on @breakfasttv

Time limits play a crucial role in the process of WSIB claims for #injuredworkers. We must take into account the potential challenges they may face in finding representation if these limits are shortened. #KeepTheFocusOnInjuredWorkers

Injured workers and their families often feel ignored by the WSIB. Shortening time limits to object, from six months to one, doesn't make it easier for them to be heard. Visit: wsib.ca/sites/default/files/…… to see the other recommendations provided to the WSIB. #EnoughlsEnough

Instead of a “Humanitarian Pause” can we simply stop killing and demand human rights and dignity for all. 🇵🇸

Massive rally in Toronto in solidarity with Palestine #CeasefireNOW #FreePalestine
Jeff's fight took many years. some workers don't get this opportunity because a time limit has been missed. Shortening time limits will not make it easier to move forward with their appeal. Visit: youtube.com/watch?v=SQEjFj9T…… to see the full video.

The @OntarioMidwives and I spoke about the need for more midwives and the need to return the midwifery program to Northern Ontario! Then, Manavi taught me the proper way to weigh a newborn baby!
