Wow. That money could have paid for over 2,000 educational assistants to work with our most vulnerable students in #OntEd, keeping students and staff safe and helping all students to access learning. It could have paid for over 500,000 student Chromebooks. I’m so tired of seeing this nonsense.

6 years of Covid and we are not in a good place. Check out my chat over on FB www.facebook.com/share/v/14SW...

The PBO is clear: the govt is cutting housing spending in the middle of a national housing crisis. They’re leaving people out in the cold while pretending everything is fine. It’s cruel. My housing plan actually fixes this: www.heathermcpherson.ca/housing www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Breaking: Spain brings masks back. Mandatory in hospitals, primary care, and long-term care—for patients, visitors, and staff. Strong recommendation everywhere else. Public health moving where evidence points. Note: Really worth upgrading to respirators. euroweeklynews.com/2025/11/28/s...

Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

Hear, hear! So important...👇 Online harassment is silencing Canada’s health experts — institutions need to do more to protect them theconversation.com/online-haras... by (terrific colleagues) @heiditworek.bsky.social et al 🙏 In this age of harmful bunk, we MUST support informed voices!

Right. I see. And they said disease control was expensive. How many buildings could we have fixed with this kind of money? Hmmm? www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/lon...

Covid inquiry: UK action was “too little, too late” & led to avoidable deaths, report finds www.bmj.com/content/391/... "Delays in imposing measures to combat the SARS-CoV-2 virus were 'inexcusable'..." Meantime, in US & Canada the emerging theme is too much was done (it wasn't).

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

This Friday November 28th, Let’s Connect The Dots to Covid. #ConnectTheDots #LongCovid #MaskUp Let’s make some noise this Friday.

Proud to show support this morning for members of OPSEU 272 (Travel Assistants) who are bargaining their first Collective Agreement with the PDSB. PDSB: These workers are *essential* to the educational experience of the students they serve. This CA will need to reflect that. #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented. That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water. Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Saab has promised that if Canada picks the Gripen, it’ll be built right here in Canada. #cdnpoli That means thousands jobs, full control over maintenance. Ongoing talks are to swap the U.S. engine for a Canadian-made Rolls-Royce one from Montreal, which would break free from U.S. export controls.

🚨🚨🚨👇 Wow clear PH messaging AND accurate!

Thinking back, I don’t remember a single person saying that when they grew up they wanted to catch a full body damaging virus over and over again until they eventually became chronically ill from it. Not one.

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

Extreme wealth—and that includes obscene CEO payouts—is bad for society as a whole. Because extreme wealth translates into extreme power that threatens the stability of our economy, our democracy, the freedom of the press and media, and our planet. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

The Northern Highways Safety Act was voted down at Queen's Park last week. It's a matter of common sense, not partisanship. The Ontario NDP continue to call on the Ford government to take long overdue action to make Northern Ontario's highways safer for everyone. #ONpoli #TBSN

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Didn't Tuesday's election results show that it actually WAS working???

Because of a measles outbreak in 9 of its provinces and 1 of its territories that has persisted for over a year, Canada no longer holds measles elimination status. www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

Ridiculous. So maddening. Yes, complex. But there is NO doubt that antivaxx misinformation big part of problem. Canada loses measles elimination status after three decades, health agency says www.reuters.com/business/hea...

This is a major deal. It is terrible and it will cost us greatly. Canada has lost its measles elimination status.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Clean blankets and sleeping bags are desperately needed at the 100 Victoria Street North encampment in Kitchener. Please drop off donations at the table at the front of the encampment.

The special education funding formula is broken in #OntEd. Too many children are being left behind. youtu.be/2yFBsHE2wAY

Society expects schools to fill in the gaps where our social safety net is failing families. Food. Clothing. Health, Vision, and Dental Care. Mental health. Transportation. Trauma recovery. The holes in the safety net keep getting bigger, and our resources are dwindling.

Ok, so this article mentions COVID twice, but only from the perspective of schools were open or closed, yet completely fails to mention/consider that repeat covid infections have been shown to impact brain capacity and function. #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsStillHere #CleanTheAir #CleanAirForSchools

Liberals want to change rules around collective bargaining Any guesses whether those changes will benefit workers? toronto.citynews.ca/2025/11/06/u...

!!!! This is a DISGRACE and so deeply disturbing. Support Luke! Support Press Progress! Support journalism!!!

The big science accounts are talking about immune dysregulation due to COVID-19 now. I. Told. You. So. Infection does confer antibodies and T cells against C19… but it also takes a wrecking ball to the immune system as a whole. Stop burning down your house. (Metaphorically.)
