back from a few weeks in hong kong where masking is mandatory inside (except for eating/drinking) & outside (except for exercising) - it was so easy! & made me feel safe being out in the world!

Corporate greed is Amazon blaming a 17% increase in its prime membership fees on labor costs while its profits soared 56% last year to $33 billion & Jeff Bezos became $74 billion richer during the pandemic. The problem is not the Amazon worker making $15 an hour. It's greed.
People from around the world are signing this open letter against the war. Add your voice, and stand with the people of #Ukraine.

"A total of 34 per cent of Toronto businesswomen surveyed also say that they experience sexual harassment at least once or twice per month, some of them every single day.
Unfortunately, these numbers were similarly high in both areas of the survey for most cities."

UNSG speaks truth to power at #UNGA

Dear MPs:
Twice in a row Canadians voted in the same minority Parliament.
Your job is to make it work.
This is the House we wanted.
We don't want games. We want action. We want you to work together to do big things like minorities used to do in the 60s and 70s.
Get to work.

Politicians have forgotten how to feel. They are numb.
We are NOT.
75% of youth feel frightened by the future and 45% feel #climateanxiety affects their daily lives. This is the cost of government inaction. @BorisJohnson @JoeBiden: Will you up your game at #UNGA? #WeFeelThisToo

Bernie, you have fought courageously for public health care, affordable medication, making the rich pay their fair share, and tackling the climate crisis.
We’re doing the same here.
Canada, better is possible. But, you have to vote for it!
Canada goes to the polls Monday.
There's one party that stood up for working people in the pandemic.
One leader who has the courage to make the wealthy pay their fair share so everyone gets the medication they need.
That's why I support the @NDP and @theJagmeetSingh.
