Free tuition for nurses.
My Bill C295 passed second reading today with support of all Parties in HOC & goes to Cttee for amendments. It makes owners and managers of Long-term Care facilities, accountable under the Criminal Code for abuse and neglect of vulnerable adults in their care.
It’s up to all of us to unlock this potential and do better. Persons with disabilities have a right to be included in the workforce, and everywhere else. We will be amazed at who and what we become as a country when everyone has the chance to participate.
Denying ANYONE reproductive healthcare strips them of their humanity and dignity.
Don’t be fooled—birth control is already at risk! Politicians across the country are trying to limit access and overturn our constitutional right to birth control. We need the Senate to pass The Right to Contraception Act and protect our right to birth control NOW!
OK, so not only do Republicans want to institute a federal ban on abortion, but today 195 of them voted against codifying the right to contraception. Only 8 voted yes. (Every Dem was a yes). This was not a “gotcha” bill with a bunch of stuff btw. It was pretty straightforward.
Poor guy. He left before his soufflé because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines. It’s all very unfair to him. The least they could do is let him eat cake 🍰

@mjs_DC That "deeply rooted in history" language is extremely dangerous -- it basically argues that we can NEVER do anything we haven't already done. We can only be stuck in an endless timeloop, repeating our errors of the past and never making progress. What about segregated schools?
@NotMyBub @TorontoStar If you think Universal Healthcare exists today tell that to the people who are not getting surgeries and diagnostic services because the unvaccinated are clogging up the hospitals. Tell that to the families who have lost loved ones b/c they aren’t getting care
@globeandmail They should be queued just like all patients. Not put first in line over others. They dont believe in science of vaccine but want the science of a hospital to cure them.
@NikaDragomira @macmike086 @22_Minutes Cathy Jones appears to have been, all along, the type of person that the show was mocking...
@shirleybond @jjhorgan With rental prices the way they are right now, some Canadians have no choice to have AC or not. My 3 bedroom house has no AC and costs $2800 month. It gets up to 45c inside in some spots. Low-income elderly or at-risk people in this situation have little recourse and can die fast
@globeandmail All the partisans currently think Parliament is dysfunctional except when they have absolute power of a false majority. And with all the power in the hands of party leaders, things won't get better for Canadians until we get a better system. x.com/cdncommentator…

This photo was taken a year ago today on the general election campaign trail. It’s like glimpsing a bygone world. Covid has robbed us of so much. When it’s over - as it eventually will be - we should never again take for granted something as simple as giving someone a hug.
@lindaws @CTV_PowerPlay @profamirattaran This is something to rage about. The Trudeau government dropped the ball and lives will be lost in the months we have to wait for the vaccine.
In response to @fordnation's plan to ban ranked ballots, I'm reaching out to the other leaders in the legislature (@StevenDelDuca, @AndreaHorwath + @MikeSchreiner) asking them to confirm if they'd bring ranked ballots back in 2022, if elected. Stay tuned for their answers!
Yesterday, @fordnation said he wants to use the same system we've been using since 1867. In 1867, people who could *not vote* in Ontario: - women - people who weren't rich enough - people who weren't British subjects - people under the age of 21 Change is a good thing. #onpoli
#LdnOnt city council was elected with 50% of the votes, why would we want to go back to a #FPP system when we can have a larger percentage of voters represented in a voting process? @fordnation , do not discourage/take away #RankedBallots from london x.com/meslin/status/…

Why, in the middle of a pandemic, is Ford suddenly rushing to take away ranked ballots when not a single municipality in Ontario asked for it? Not a great way to celebrate #LocalGovWeek! #onpoli #onmuni #LdnOnt

Very good meeting with @DWDCanada today to discuss the issue of advance requests in light of new legislation in Quebec. I look forward to future engagement on this important development.
Bingo. This complaint has been my favourite: “What about people selling their cottage?” Or those with multiple properties? Ummm…I don’t care about them. Let’s maybe make sure we worry about everyone having a single home before we get worked up about those who own two or more.
"I may have to pay a bit more when I sell my cottage" is actually not a thing that most people are going to be sympathetic about. That's just reality.
As a wealthy Canadian, I am in favour of the proposed tax changes. One can’t say they’re progressive if they don’t value wealth equity. Trickle down economics is a scam & it’s laughable that the 0.13% think they single-handedly hold economy up. 19bn goes to much needed services!
Raising the capital gains inclusion rate to 2/3 on the largest investments will bring in $19 bil over 5 years, creating an important revenue stream to fund things like housing, childcare, and food programs. It’s long overdue and a very good thing! #Budget2024 #CdnPoli
#PierreDoesntCare that these programs help people! He will cut ✂️✂️✂️ them all! “In an interview with Radio-Canada, Poilievre was noncommittal on whether child care, dental care and pharmacare would be dismantled by a government led by him..” #cdnpoli cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Raising taxes on Canadians would be politically suicidal. The feds know that. They also know that rates are going to start coming down later this year. I'm open to a conversation about where and how we cut spending. But folks like Rahim have to be more specific about it.
@rmohamed_yyc @nationalpost Margaret Thatcher never did run out of other people’s money. Just look at her expense accounts! The Public paid for her house, her car, her fuel, her meals. Other people’s money never stopped flowing to her.
