🧵: A question I've been getting at the doors a lot: Why did I decide to get involved in politics? My response: I didn't decide to go into politics. Rather, the world where I was raised is inherently political. Every action we take in a capitalist society is political. 1/2

Shameful. My colleague and our Deputy Leader @solmamakwa was removed from the legislature for speaking out against Bill 5. Here's the moment it happened. Make no mistake: Bill 5 must be scrapped. ➡️ https://t.co/JcgWwXddcD

Conservatives MPPs in Ontario are laughing as they vote against a motion requiring clear labelling on Ontario-made goods and grocery price hikes. So much for their promise to stand up for consumers. #onpoli

lol look at the strategic voting sites man This not serious analysis Vote TBA to defeat an NDP incumbent to stop Conservatives 20 points back

Residence Life workers at McMaster are among the lowest-compensated in the province. Are you a Mac community member? Sign the petition in support of a fair deal now! https://t.co/D4lkLZtA2z

If there’s “nothing Canada can do to stop them”, was it really about the borders to begin with? Or did Trump just want to pick a fight? #tariffs

Read my commitment to safe cycling infrastructure, reliable and accessible public transit, and achieving Vision Zero on the @HaltonStreets candidate survey! https://t.co/rlG6oTyn3J *Notice the PC and Liberal candidates didn't respond despite a week-long response window. Huh.

Here’s the responses from Oakville-North Burlington. #vote Full responses: https://t.co/qAezCOPuGe

Vote like a student in a school with broken windows and a leaking roof. Vote like your human rights are at risk. Vote like your life depends on it, because for some people in your community, it does #onpoli #NeverVoteConservative @OntarioNDP

Vote like you don’t have somewhere warm to stay this winter. Vote like local farmland is at risk of being paved over. Vote like a single parent who has to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table. Vote like a teacher facing violence at work.

Vote like you live in a small town and your local ER is closed. Vote like a student struggling in a classroom with 30+ others. Vote like a nurse who can’t afford rent. Vote like your parents are stuck in a crumbling LTC home.

Vote like you rely on your local food bank. Vote like your loved ones are stuck on waitlists for lifesaving surgery. Vote like you don’t have a home and the local shelters are full. Vote like you rely on public transit and bike lanes to get around.

It’s election day in Ontario, and after seven years of PC neglect and corruption, it’s time for real progressive change. 🗳️ Here’s how to vote, a thread: Vote like a trans person whose human rights are at risk. Vote like your local greenspace is at risk of being bulldozed.

After days of heavy snow, we got an aerial view of the roof of the Ontario Science Centre -- which was closed last year over concerns about the structural integrity of the roof. The Progressive Conservatives said, last year, "the building, which is more than 50 years old, is

CUPE 3906 is proud to endorse @SarahJama_, @cmsmolenaars, @EasyThePianoMan, & @shaw_sandy in the provincial election, as voted by our members. With their history fighting for organized labour, we believe that they are the best candidates for workers in their respective ridings.

Honoured to have the support of the Halton Elementary Occasional Teachers Local. We’re going to fight for educators and students alike by investing in schools to clear the repair backlog and increase supports for all - much needed after years of Conservative and Liberal neglect.

Find a candidate who represents your values and get involved—volunteer, organize your union/organization, and push candidates to take a stance on real issues. There’s so much more we can do. After all, we don’t even know who’s truly behind the “strategic voting” websites. 4/4

Together we are building a real movement with young, progressive candidates, by workers and for workers. We need to stop watching polls and instead, we need to get out on the ground. 3/4

Local-level polling is based on past trends and elite-driven narratives—not the real movement on the ground. Instead of relying on polling, progressives need to do what we do best: organize. 2/4

Hot take: progressives should know better than to trust a website like SmartVoting to make election decisions. Local-level polling is notoriously inaccurate and doesn’t reflect the modern issues affecting individual communities. 1/4

Unless you're a member of the privileged ultra-rich, politics will always impact you. I'm getting more involved because I want to reclaim a place in politics for the working class and shape how it impacts future generations for the better. 2/2
