I am taking a step back from Twitter amidst the chaotic flood of hate-speech, misinformation, and significant harm this platform is exacerbating. I'll be on the app, but not engaging actively here anymore. This may change. For now, hug a doggo and vote for @oliviachow

The rise of hate towards the 2SLGBTQI+ community is deeply alarming. All people deserve safety and freedom to be who they are. Today and every day, New Democrats stand with the trans community in solidarity.

#BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford is reversing Greenbelt decision: “I made a promise to you that I wouldn’t touch the Greenbelt. I broke that promise. And for that I am very very sorry…it was a mistake to open the Greenbelt. It was a mistake to open a process that moved too fast”

TTC officials have been saying for 10 years that the SRT was long past its natural life. Had council & Rob Ford, backed by Wynne and GTA Libs, not cancelled the plan to replace it with an LRT in 2013, it would have been finished in 2020. Still no subway.

The TTC said some passengers required medical attention after being ‘shaken around and banged up’ on Monday evening.

Disappointing to see the Federal Liberals shirk their responsibilities to refugee claimants for immediate and long-term permanent housing options. Refugee settlement is within the federal government's jurisdiction. Tell Freeland inaction is unacceptable:

The Federal Government owes Toronto $157 million in funding for refugees and people seeking asylum who need shelter. Tell the Federal Government to fulfill their commitment and provide needed shelter...
#NEW: The federal government has bluntly rebuffed new Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow’s call for more money.

The dumping of debris on a mural honouring #MMIWG2S at the Brady Road landfill is a grotesque act of hatred. It’s a reflection of how the lives of Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people are constantly devalued. We are a target. We deserve justice. #SearchTheLandfill

The draft Environmental Study is out. Excluded from the assessment - Live Nation and the Therme megaspa. Ford's Conservatives exempted private projects from environmental assessments in May 2021 - at the same time they issued the RFP for Ontario Place. #onpoli

In lieu of dedicated, 24/7 Cooling Centres, @cityoftoronto is once again directing unhoused people to inappropriate/privatized spaces and daytime-only public infrastructure, like libraries, without providing these spaces with additional resources to act as de facto cool space.

This is horrifying. Yesterday's hate-motivated attack is another reminder that we can't allow hate-fuelled rhetoric to poison our country. Women and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community deserve safety.

I am endorsing Olivia Chow to be the next Mayor for Toronto. Our city faces some serious challenges that will require - not a strong mayor - but a mayor who can inspire all of us to come together to be part of the solution. @oliviachow

It’s more important than ever to show our support for Trans folks in public ways. I’m honoured to march alongside the 2SLGBTQI+ community at today’s Trans Rally & March. Pride is political!
