Remember when ACT UP dumped ashes of loved ones at White House? Would that work now?


It would probably be cheaper to fund services and housing than police, but states are willing to pay to keep us demoralized and fearful. #DefundThePolice pressreader.com/article/281754…

Can I get a retweet? If you believe the Conservative Minister of Long Term Care (@DrFullertonMPP) should come speak at the #TendercareLTC rally, please retweet! #OnPoli

Ontario’s long-term care homes are in crisis. People want transparency. They want answers! @DrFullertonMPP, I’m inviting you to speak directly w/ families tomorrow at a town hall on #tendercare, one of the hardest hit LTC homes in the province Will you join us? #onpoli #scarbto



Or imagine university was free.

Imagine he was simply paid enough at Tim's? This isn't lovely, it's really, really sad.



Is @fordnation going to try to privatize vaccine? Already we have privatized testing. Why are they holding back?

Why isn't the very slow roll out of vaccinations in Ontario not the top story in every newspaper & on every news station? The "UK strain" is made irrelevant if we vaccinate everyone promptly. Not vaccinating on holidays, weekends? Should be @globeandmail @TorontoStar @CBCNews

PM @JustinTrudeau Is there anything you can do to help us? You’ve given us the vaccine but our Premier is too busy at the cottage to get a proper rollout plan going. People need to be vaccinated and @fordnation is not taking our health and safety seriously. #onpoli #cdnpoli


The Queen’s Christmas message

A very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate the holiday. To you and yours, may the season bring you peace and joy.🎄



Dr Warner is an absolute hero. Those who drove him off Twitter should be ashamed.

This week 86 people died in Ontario of Covid-19. 5 were at Michael Garron Hospital in Toronto. And Dr. Michael Warner was with each of them when they died. Scared. Finding it hard to breath. Without their families. Please watch and understand the real toll of the pandemic.



When everyone is dead should the colour be black or white?

Taking a step back from a rough few days of pandemic news in this province: I'm finding myself struck today, of all days, with the thought that Ontario created a colour-coded COVID-19 response plan that tops out at grey.



If only....

With up to 7000 cases by Christmas, over 500 new in the last week, 9 schools closed, overwhelming evidence around the world of school's role in the second wave both @slecce and Williams need to resign. Incompetent and negligent



Just as despicable as Trump. And we have 2 more years.

I won't listen to any more of these. His school plan is a disaster. He screwed up COVID. He is enriching developers at the expense of the environment. He is sitting on $9.2B of Federal COVID funding. He is helping a racist homophobic donor get the right to hand out BAs and BScs.



St George is patron saint of Britain, St Jean Baptiste of France, who is patron saint of Canada?

Resign

I felt Sam Oosterhoff should first be given a chance to PUBLICLY apologize on SOCIAL MEDIA - the same venue he shared this really irresponsible photo. That won’t happen. Given this “doubling down”, now is the time we must respectfully ask for his resignation. RT if you agree.



Now @fordnation’s Covid screw-ups are literally killing people in Toronto.


Everyone should watch this. Thank you @mollycrabapple @NaomiAKlein

Yesterday we launched a short film about how another world is possible. This morning we found out she may be on her way.



I guess @fordnation is saving those federal relief funds to give those of us still alive free beer before next election

.@fordnation is holding back billions in federal support which could fund a safe return to school and support for small businesses. It's not about the money - it is about Ford's misguided priorities. mitziehunter.onmpp.ca/premier-leaves… #onpoli #onted #SafeSeptember #ScarbTO



So awful, we still need him.

Yesterday the best person in a world, my husband and my friend .@davidgraeber died in a hospital in Venice.
