A court injunction stopped you from steamrolling over the charter rights of trans kids, so you’re overriding one of the few checks on your power. This is a dangerous precedent, and the worst kind of politics. Shame on you.
Today the Parents Bill of Rights Act was introduced in the House. Unlike the NDP who want to keep parents in the dark, your Saskatchewan Party government will ensure parents are a part of every important decision involving your child’s education. https://t.co/U6zzvWa91e

Pitting asylum seekers against "domestic" unhoused people is a false — and dangerous — dichotomy. Vulnerable groups do not siphon resources from one another; rather, those that hold power — governments — withhold resources from everyone. All homelessness is a policy choice.

TEACHING STUDENTS ABOUT DIVERSE FAMILIES AND QUEER PEOPLE IS NOT GROOMING. The far right is lying to you. They are spinning a false narrative about what is happening in our schools. No one is trying to convert anyone, but queer kids are still being bullied in our schools.

It is an un utter disgrace and failure by the federal and municipal governments that we are abandoning refugee claimants to sleep on the streets. We cannot posit ourselves as a country that upholds human rights when we are violating them outright.

Weeks since cash-strapped Toronto began referring newcomers seeking shelter to the federal government, desperate asylum seekers say they’ve been left playing phone tag.

Every major feminist organization, most local feminist groups, and the overwhelming majority of feminist activists in Canada want nothing to do with TERFs. TERFs don’t speak for feminists, and they certainly don’t speak for most women.

If you, like me, are concerned about the anti-trans legislation being passed around the world, and you live in Canada, please consider signing this petition for Canada to grant asylum status to trans refugees, even from "developed" nations like the US/UK: https://t.co/uoRuUYzYO0

How does spending $15M in private security to recoup an estimated $6M in fares even make fiscal sense? Honestly what is going on in our city??? #TOpoli #TTC

Fare inspectors stopped ticketing during the pandemic, but the transit agency estimated restarting it could bring in about $6 million a year.

Justin Trudeau is handing billions of health care dollars to Doug Ford with no strings attached. Doug Ford is trying to pass a law to give more of that money to for-profit health care. The result? You will pay more and wait longer.

This government's decision to underspend on healthcare when children's hospitals are asking for $370 million dollars to address a funding gap & backlog in children's surgeries is morally reprehensible, isn't fiscally prudent & will cost our health care system more money. #onpoli

Absolutely disgraceful. Moving $900k from an already ridiculously bloated police budget is apparently too large of an expense to quite literally keep people from freezing on the streets. In the middle of a housing crisis no less. #TOpoli

Police are the biggest gang in Toronto.
Crawford says council can’t direct the police, so Bravo can’t be sure the police won’t respond to this cut by cutting front-line officers. Bravo says she doesn’t believe the police will retain a communications tool while cutting officers. “I don’t believe they’ll do that.”

So let me get this straight: The City of Toronto was ok with the Toronto Police using $337,000 of our tax dollars to create a podcast barely anyone listened to...but wasn't ok using $400,000 to fund a 24/7 warming centre to prevent hypothermia & death? Where are our priorities?

Public solutions to reduce surgical wait times: 1. Create centralized waitlists for next available surgeon 2. Extend OR times to evenings/weekends by hiring more staff Why didn't the Ontario government exhaust these options first…before investing in for-profit healthcare?

Canada: make no mistake. We are witnessing the dismantling of publicly funded healthcare in Ontario in a deliberate and orchestrated manner by the Ontario government. There is no effective manner to stop this situation. It is hegemony.

Even Scrooge changes his ways at the prospect of a sick kid dying, so what the fuck is our problem right now?
