My sister was assaulted last night while nursing in the ER, she was also told to “go back to your country” 😡 I’m so mad right now and I can’t do anything about it. She called to say she’s OK but shaken up. This isn’t OK, police are laying charges. #NurseTwitter

My dad has COVID, told us last night. He took every precaution but caught it at work from another doc. He’s got symptoms but thankfully he’s not in hospital. He should come out of it fine. Just a reminder that this hits real people who work in the field and take all precautions.

The second scenario is that Doug knew from the start, and approved the strategy of making sure no one would find out (again, anything else should result in immediate dismissal). So now, Doug’s part of the cover-up and protecting himself, and his and Rod’s decisions.

So, only one of two scenarios can possibly be true: Everything Rod and Doug are saying is true, and Doug only found out a couple weeks ago and decided not to call him home. This means Rod always intended on deceiving the public as to his whereabouts, and pre-planned the ruse.

Universal basic income would not only lift more than 3.2 million Canadians out of poverty, it would also create hundreds of thousands of new jobs, grow the economy by tens of billions of dollars and eventually pay for itself with increased tax revenues.

I’m trying really hard not to get angry these days, but this is maddening. My partner has put up with a lot and has seen first hand what COVID has done to some kids. But she can’t go to work in her scrubs because they may attack or harass her?? Who are police protecting?? 😡🤨🤬

What on earth is wrong with people who think this reaction is fake or put-on?? It’s a human reaction to human suffering. We want authenticity from our politicians and they get crapped on when they do. Doesn’t matter if you disagree or won’t vote for him, it’s human. #cdnpoli

Jagmeet Singh breaks down when asked about visiting unmarked graves at Marieval Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan. NDP leader was asked how he felt as an expectant father. Singh paused, appeared to fight back tears, said Indigenous justice is the issue, not him.

We. Know. Basic. Income. Works. When we know it works, we don't need to pilot it - we need to do it. It's time for action. #BasicIncome #onpoli #OLPdebate #olpldr

Today was @BonnieCrombie ’s last council meeting as mayor. I’m so proud of the work she’s done for #Mississauga , awed of how much of herself she’s given to this job, and happy for our friendship. Thank you madam mayor, it has been an honour ☺️

This is really disingenuous… Feds have increased funding significantly. Health care is managed, funded, and delivered by the province. Someone’s not “getting it done” 👀 #onpoli

PSWs are among the lowest paid employees in the province. Paying them a living wage would attract more people to this needed profession. #onpoli #psw

Ontario needs more PSWs & we're investing to speed up their training. We're offering $2K tuition assistance to nearly 2,200 students that are already completing a #PSW program at a public college. I said we would fix the broken #LTC system and we are.

This is garbage from an awful public official. Being an LGBTQ2S+ kid is not evil. Evil is using your platform as an elected official to target vulnerable kids. My plan to merge the Catholic and non-Catholic school boards will end this. #onpoli #onted
