It’s not your place to tell Black people “not everything is about race.” More often than not, race is a factor, whether it’s blatant or subtle. Racist systems have long determined who gets uplifted and who stays oppressed.

“Shabbat with Sarah” by Jews4Jama in #HamOnt was absolutely beautiful. About 25 sweet souls came together for candles, kiddush & sacred song. Sarah gave us a very deep, thoughtful talk about being an elected official whose hands won’t be tied by a party. https://t.co/78g1njYxWJ

I lost a friend who was pregnant with twins. They all died. The system continues to fail us Black women. My heart is broken💔 The prioritization of Black maternal health isn’t an option. It’s a must, & I’ll devote my entire being to advocating for Black maternal health equity.

Please: Anyone but Doug Ford. Ford is uniquely unqualified and unsuited to be a leader for this moment. His years in office have been defined by shortages — a lack of homes, doctors, teachers, jobs, skilled workers, subways, buses & bike lanes. #Opinion

As Ontario premier, Doug Ford’s stunning failure to address the crises in housing, health care, education and more mean he is unfit to lead, writes Justin Ling.

Today marks the 6th anniversary of @fordnation & @MacLeodLisa demolishing the Ontario Autism Program. There are still OVER 50K autistic children waitlisted for support. Ask the candidates why. @MichaelParsa #50KIsNotOK #onpoli #onted #onlab #WeHaveReceipts #DontLookAwayOntario

Ford thrilled Trump won US Presidency Trump on women: “Grab em by the p*ssy!” Yet Doug Ford’s a fanboy. No wonder Ford refused to pass @OntarioNDP legislation declaring Intimate Partner Violence an EPIDEMIC! When someone shows you who they are believe them 👀 #onpoli

I need to be clear what is happening in Ontario ERs. I need to be clear I do not believe the Ford administration has faithfully served the public. I don't care how you vote. I just want you to know the reality ER patients know only too well. - 1/5

Sorry @chrisglover my family & I will not be supporting the NDP financial or as volunteers. Breaking a long tradition of support my children have fond memories of rally meeting & hitting the campaign trails but the NDP no longer aligns w/our values. Maybe lost seats will speak

How embarrassing that the majority of Canadians can successfully get a security clearance but @PierrePoilievre won’t apply for his, I wonder what he’s hiding 🧐 Jamaicans would call him an Old Fridge the question is who is leaking to?
Pierre Poilievre will no longer receive security briefing from top spy agency #cdnpoli

This morning, Ontario’s financial watchdog found that Doug Ford spent $1.9 billion of taxpayers’ money on fast tracking the availability of booze in corner stores. That money could’ve been used to hire 1,400 family doctors across this province. Doug Ford has the wrong

If the @OntarioNDP thinks that this is how they support its Jewish members, members who are Black, Women & People w/ Disabilities they are very WRONG They won’t see a penny of our money in donations or a min of our time volunteering. They will lose seats over this. MARK MY WORDS

@birgitomo This racist attack on a Black nurse is a failure of Ontario’s systems. Politicians must go beyond condemnation by enforcing workplace safety laws, strengthening anti-racism legislation, and addressing systemic failures in healthcare. Action, not words, is needed. @kwame_mckenzie

I am so angry. A nurse reached out to me - she was brutally scalded with hot coffee by a white patient, who waited until her face was up before pouring it on her. Then, he called her the n-word. She’s looking for legal help. Please retweet. Black nurses deserve to feel safe too.

Ontario, I need you to do a favour. Please text Doug Ford's cell (647) 612- 3673 and demand he CANCEL that contract he had with Elon Musk for Starlink. We shouldn't be doing business with nazis in this country. We fight against nazis in Canada. We don't support them.
