Reminder: Doug Ford froze wages for nurses while paying up to 8x more for nurses from private agencies. He spent years and wasted millions fighting this unconstitutional wage cap in court.

Canadian universities defend banning pro-Palestinian encampments: “We want our students to study genocide, not actually do anything about it” thebeaverton.com/2024/05/canadi…
The children in Gaza, Sudan, Congo, Haiti, American schools being gunned down, the children of the world are our children. I don’t know how to comprehend saying “they aren’t mine so I don’t care.” They are all humanity’s and we must care

Most Jews and Muslims want peaceful co-existence. Then why is Canada supporting a genocidal regime? @melaniejoly @JustinTrudeau
Today marks the beginning of Jewish Heritage Month. Across Toronto, Jewish communities have made invaluable contributions to the cultural tapestry of our city, from the bustling streets of Kensington Market to the historic synagogues dotting our neighbourhoods. 1/2

Why is the pro-Israel lobby so fearful of campus demonstrations in Canada? Let’s be clear: I support the voice of these young people as a catalyst for the change that is inevitably coming as a result of Israel’s crimes in Gaza AND I equally support punishment for anyone who…

Imagine if Ontario introduced tough new limits on dirty air in schools? On class sizes in schools? Please, media, stop being distracted by Fordnation’s ridiculous announcements and focus on what kids really need- stable staffing, supplies, mental health supports, safe schools.

The genocide in Gaza is still grinding on, day after day, hour after hour. Precious life after precious life, extinguished. And the future is filled with more horrific revelations of crimes committed, like the mass graves. We don't get to go back to normal. Silence is shame.

Any politician who claims to be keen on tackling climate change should be actively fighting for #CleanAir, especially where our youngest & eldest live/congregate: schools, child care centres, LTC homes. Improving IAQ is good for the health of communities! trib.al/6X4KQlb
A day of unimaginable relief for an innocent man, and no doubt elation for his superb defence counsel @Nader_Hasan_law. But for those braying for more stringent bail, the details of the Zameer case, and the now public bail jmt, should give them cause for reflection and shame.

Hot take: If you're going to be a champion for workers, you might want to actually talk to them first.
Why the prime minister should call the bluff of Poilievre and the Conservative premiers and convene a nationally televised conference -- but on climate policy, not just the carbon tax. #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/04/11/opi…

There's something particularly disgusting about a sitting Premier using a Holocaust Remembrance Day event as an opportunity to condemn students for protesting a genocide. Never again means never again - for everyone.
NEW: Premier Doug Ford, during a Holocaust memorial event at Queen's Park, turns his attention to pro-Palestinian demonstrators and campus occupiers. "We need to remove those people," Ford says. "These universities have to make a move." Ford calls the protests "disturbing" and…
Today I defied the keffiyeh ban at Queen’s Park at the request of Palestinian, Muslim and Arab neighbours. While the ban has been lifted in the Legislative Precinct, it remains in the House Chamber. We'll continue to oppose this unjust ban until it is completely lifted. #ONpoli
University of Toledo has set the right example unlike the University of Southern California, which canceled its valedictorian because of complaints by Zionists over an innocuous post. Certainly better than all the elite schools.
A Palestinian law student from the University of Toledo gave a powerful graduation speech, questioning the status quo in the US, and why they are sending billions of dollars to Israel, a state convicted of war crimes and on trial for genocide.
New Zealand implemented a cell phone ban 1 week ago, and the Minister is already trumpeting its benefits and eagerly rushing to copy them. Multiple Ontario private schools implemented #CleanAir initiatives 4 years ago, yet the Minister still won't copy them. So strange! #onted
"It turned kids back into being kids again. They don’t have the same preoccupation with technology, & I think they’re happier as a result." Restricting cell phones has resulted in positive change in the classrooms of New Zealand. We will deliver that the same focus on academics…

@Sflecce Hypocritical words from someone intent on causing as much difficulties as possible. Would those you claim to be inspired by be proud of you? Or, like the majority of the people you claim to represent, would they be ashamed?
The Conservatives in the UK have been reduced to third party status in local elections. That's a signal they're in danger of complete wipe-out in national elections. It's not impossible they could fail to form Official Opposition. *Sometimes justice does come for Conservatives*

Just your daily reminder that governments do not represent it’s citizens…🇵🇸🇺🇸
In a beautiful show of solidarity in Toronto, thousands upon thousands of workers and students from a plethora of diverse communities are coming together to march for Palestine on International Workers Day 🇵🇸🔥
At the UBC encampment, I'm experiencing my first Shabat and learning about Judaism. It's absolutely insane that people are arguing that the encampments are anti-semitic. You literally just have to be here for 5 mins, and you'll see how incorrect that is.
He’s right
bernie sanders issues sharp rebuke for president biden: “i worry that [he] is putting himself in a position where he has alienated not just young people but a lot of the democratic base in terms of his views on israel and this war."
I've been giving it a bit more thought and you know what? Maybe we should have more faith in @Sflecce's cell phone ban. After all, Stephen banned himself from public schools when he became MoE in 2019 and hasn't set foot inside one ever since! #OntEd #OutOfSight
Students who’ve set up camp at McGill have faced torrential downpour, a court injunction, and threats of police violence. But they’re refusing to move until their demands are met: divestment from companies and universities implicated in Israel’s assault on Gaza.
.@AlvinTedjo is the first politician I’ve seen making a very public case that building more homes = keeping property taxes low. A big part of a politician’s job is to show leadership, not pander to the vocal minority. Good on Alvin! Build 🏠, Save💰 #Alvin4Mayor
We can freeze property taxes without the shocking jump Toronto had, and the math is simple 🏘️Build more homes 💵Increase the tax base 🛠️More people using our services More homes. More Neighbours. Lower Taxes. See the plan yourself👉alvintedjo.ca/affordability

It's my last day living in Geneva, Switzerland after nearly 5 years, I am leaving to Jordan tomorrow. Here is my parting message about the @UN. It's basically a facade to give people an appearance that progress is happening, when it actually isn't. Real change comes from…
Without protests, we would still live in a segregated country. Without protests, women would still be second class citizens. Without protests, the LGBTQ+ community would still be hiding their identities.
