A reminder that getting back to “normal” could have meant smaller class sizes, better indoor air quality, all-ages vaccination drives, free access to tests and high-quality PPE. Instead, we’ve had years now of unending sickness, with our smallest neighbours paying the price 💔

Thank you to Beach Metro News for publishing my piece about Doug Ford’s blatant power grab and continued meddling in municipal affairs. It is ridiculous that trustees, who were elected by the people, had their powers revoked by our supposedly “for the people” Premier. #onted
Remember when Doug Ford‘s longest-serving Minister of Education and/or his Comms team (who cost taxpayers hundreds and hundreds of thousands of $$/year) forgot how to spell the word … education? Should we really be giving these people total control over education in Ontario??
This is a tweet from 2020 that should never be forgotten! Thanks for the reminder @normsworld It's scary to think what parents might be told this coming school year #ONpoli #Onted
These flowers are native to Ontario, and 3/4 of them can be found in “A Garden for the Rusty-patch Bumbleebee”. Lovely to see pollinators being planted in our city’s newest park ❤️ 🐝
Some florals I saw today at Bidaasige Park
Canadian-made everything? Doug Ford has sold off a key portion of vibrant public waterfront in Canada’s largest city to a European MegaSpa company and is forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for their $600,000,000+ parking garage.
“We’re encouraging all provinces and territories: start buying Canadian-made vehicles. Start buying Canadian-made everything,” says Ontario Premier Doug Ford, responding to a reporter's question re: steel & aluminum tariffs ahead of premiers’ meeting in Huntsville, Ont. #cdnpoli
Great reminder from @DavidSuzukiFDN One thing we do know about Doug Ford is that he has a tendency to cave to public pressure and flip flop on bad policy decisions. Let's encourage him to #RepealBill5 and ensure we protect our natural spaces moving forward.
Take action: Send a letter with just one click to ask the Ford government to repeal Bill 5 davidsuzuki.org/action/repealb… #Bill5 #stopbill5
Sometimes it’s easy to get bogged down in the could haves and should haves of #topoli. But then we are reminded of what can happen with a vacant lot, and polluted industrial parklands, and the potential of this beautiful place we call home. #ShowLoveTO
The projections are that 10,000 Ontarians will lose their jobs. We have already lost so many wonderful colleagues. Excellent programs have closed. @fordnation has had years to address this, and he failed to do so. Will our colleagues get their jobs back? #onpoli
Ontario to revamp college and university funding as early as next spring — and lifting tuition freeze may be on table #onpoli trib.al/noNw8DH
Doug Ford's Highway 413 sign at James Snow and the 401 is now so comically huge that I laughed out loud as I drove past. This is at least the *third* iteration of the sign, each one larger than the last. Money for highway signs but not school budgets? #FordPriorities #onpoli
I agree, Toronto's waterfront does belong to everyone! Brad, will you be speaking out against the destruction of Ontario Place, including wildlife habitats, and the takeover of a huge swath of Toronto's public waterfront by a private European MegaSpa firm? #topoli #NoThermeTO
Toronto’s waterfront belongs to everyone. We won’t let reckless, unlicensed jet ski operators put public safety at risk.
Our East End community has lost a beautiful friend. Dr. @savewildbees was a powerful force- a brilliant scientist, conservationist, and advocate who never shied away from calling out injustice. Please help support her family here as you are able: gofundme.com/f/support-shei…
The West Island of Ontario place was 15 acres in total (not counting water). This is what the West Island green spaces used to look like. These will be replaced by a glass MegaSpa and concrete walking paths. Where exactly is this 15.9 acre park going? #onpoli #NoThermeTO
