It has been my pleasure to serve as the NDP candidate for London Centre. Our supporters have noted that we bought to light issues and people that other parties neglected. Our volunteers and campaign team convinced over 400 non-voters to vote for us. We gave these people hope.
Congratulations to @pfragiskatos on his victory last night. I commend the other contenders for putting their name forward. The strength of our democracy relies on your good faith contributions. Thanks to all who voted for me and my amazing campaign team, donors & volunteers. 🧵.

Your irresponsible & non-transparent use of s.107 shows you don't care about workers getting an equitable settlement in a manner that grievances are properly addressed. AC FAs don't need another study. They need conditions for good faith bargaining. You have robbed them of that.
Nobody should be expected to work for free. //. Personne ne devrait être attendu·e à travailler gratuitement. #UnpaidWorkWontFly #FlightAttendants #aircanada

Please give these threads a read. WSIB denies many deserving applicants who then must rely on the legislative poverty payments of ODSP. If you can't donate to mutual aid requests, retweet them and demand elected officials do better.
A huge portion of the people on ODSP (the stats are not available of course) have been completely screwed over by WSIB. Sone have waited a decade for a settlement. WHY?!?!!! . Injured in an accident at work: can't work. Can't work: no income.WSIB doesn't pay: it deems. Only.

AMAPCEO is going to continue to fight for flexibility for members who want it and stop the Secretary from dragging Ontario's hardworking public service back to the Stone Age.
BREAKING: My sources tell me the province is about to announce changes to the work-from-office policy for the 60,000-member Ontario Public Service. The in-office requirement for @ONgov employees has been 3 days/wk since April 2022. #onpoli
