“Shahnaz was a nurse at Sunnybrook for over 20 years and she carried that caring nature to every part of her life, her family” This is so damn tragic 😢💔 toronto.citynews.ca/2025/07/18/wor…

National Indigenous History Month may be over, but we’re still celebrating! 🎉 Congrats to Ted Nolan (Sports – 1994), member of Garden River First Nation, on being appointed to the Order of Canada. Your leadership inspires us all! 🇨🇦🌟 #OrderOfCanada #IndigenousExcellence
Doug Ford’s WSIB just laid off @OCEU1750 workers and handed their jobs to a U.S. contractor—while the Labour Minister watched on. Promises to protect Ontario workers mean nothing if your government sides with corporate America over its own people. #ONpoli
