Let’s normalize checking on friends and loved ones who seem to have it all together - those who always appear strong irrespective of life’s challenges.

Some doors close for a reason. Don’t fight it. Sit tight, pause, breathe and wait for directions. Closed doors in the form of denied opportunities can be blessings in disguise. Trust the process and protect your peace ��🏿.

My daughter gave such a moving Valedictorian speech in front of over 300 people, bringing parents, teachers, and fellow students to tears. Congratulations on your 7 awards, and thank you for reminding us that “being different isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength.”

How cruel to keep cooling centres closed on a day like this? Explain to me again how exactly these politicians claim to be working for the people.

it feels like 44C out here. i’ve been out here 45 min and it’s so hot and lots of people are hiding in the shade but so many have asked for water. there are no cooling centres. the city has no water out for people. the heat is dangerous.

Doug Ford repeatedly makes divisive & racially-charged remarks knowing well that he will offer performative & politically motivated apologies. He’s very intentional about pandering to his base through racist comments or by calling immigrants “lazy”, & then apologizing. #onpoli.

Nurses are burning out while hospital CEOs rake in millions. I sat down with @throughfood_ over a comforting Nigerian meal to talk about Canada’s health care crisis and why nurses are fighting back. through food explores the people, systems and stories shaping what we eat.

NEW: Premier Doug Ford names 43 of his MPPs to be parliamentary assistants, which gives them each a $16,600 bump in pay above the standard MPP salary of $116,500. Added to his 30-member cabinet, this means 73/83 PCs have extra duties & extra pay. #onpoli

Is Doug Ford really talking about “handouts” to Indigenous peoples? In 2022, he gave 43 of his MPPs handouts of $16,000 each, and just last month handed them a 35% pay raise. He’s far too privileged to ever correctly define the term “handouts.” #onpoli.
