According to ministry docs - the Ontario Autism Program is moving at a snail’s pace. This means young children on the autism spectrum are NOT receiving early intervention, services or support. #50KIsNotOK #60KIsNotOK #onpoli #onted #onlab #solidarity #WeHaveReceipts

This week marked the 6th anniversary of Doug Ford & Lisa MacLeod demolishing the Ontario Autism Program. There are still OVER 50K autistic children waitlisted for support. Ask the Ontario provincial election candidates why. #50KIsNotOK #onpoli #onted #onlab #WeHaveReceipts #DontLookAwayOntario

The OAC has officially launched their Spec Edu Survey Report - thank you to everyone who contributed, participated, amplified. Stay tuned as this survey will take place annually. #onted #50KIsNotOK ontarioautismcoalition.com/wp-content/upl…

PierrePoilievre says the high cost of food is caused by the carbon tax. How many Canadians know Poilievre’s Chief Advisor is a lobbyist for Loblaws? CBC investigation uncovers grocers overcharging customers by selling underweighted meat. #cdnpoli #peipoli www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

“People were curious, but some took pictures giving him [the] finger at the airport … Some wrote on Facebook: yankee go home"

Disability justice and climate justice are intersectional. Climate change creates more pandemics, which creates mass disability. Our world truly isn't prepared for the amount of disablement that's going to occur if we don't act now and care for our most vulnerable. The system is designed to fail.

CONFIRMED: The prorogation will NOT impact the planned release of the report on foreign interference. It will still be submitted to the government by January 31. Here's what the folks behind the commission told me in an email just now:

About a million people die every year due to antimicrobial resistance. Causes: - Excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics - 70% of antibiotics are given to livestock - No financial incentive to develop new antibiotics - no new antibiotic classes since 1980 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

2024 was a yr of struggle for Ontario's autism community but we’re not giving up. To every OAC member & ally: we see you, we stand with you & we will continue to fight alongside you. Let’s make 2025 a yr of action & solidarity. Together, we are stronger. #50KIsNotOK #AutismIsLifelong #onted

Not sure of the original source of this, but the depiction with the final domino set to crush the pusher is devastatingly accurate.

No one is an exception to becoming disabled. No one is immune to disability. Your health is not a guarantee. Even when you age, disability is almost inevitable at some point. Advocating for disabled people is advocating for your inevitable future.

To all of our members and allies we wish you well in 2025. Thank you for standing with our community. ❤️💛💜 Enjoy your holidays.

This is what happens when we treat disability as an afterthought. Fingers crossed this gets resolved quickly. Major props to Thunder Bay Family Network for lighting this up. #cdnpoli #onted #onpoli www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/r...

Say it with me: “blanket ministry policies don’t work in every region” This is 1 example of an ON ministry neglecting need, & directly causing harm: decreased attendance, inequity, health/safety concerns, & lowered outcomes. #onted #onpoli #WeHaveReceipts www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/a...

Yesterday this photo was lauded by Ontario PCs as proof of leadership. When we see this photo we know the truth. @fordnation is dangerous to our communities, to us, to our kids. PLEASE VOTE #50KIsNotOK #onpoli #onted #WeHaveReceipts #DontLookAwayOntario #AutismIsLifelong

In Ontario the PC Ford govt has ignored systemic issues in all programs meant to protect kids & help them lead meaningful, healthy lives. Education, health care, complex needs-arrive too little too late Our communities live the consequences VOTE #onpoli #50KIsNotOK www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

A very important reminder for all of us.

"His comments trying to belittle Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is negotiating with Donald Trump on our behalf, compromise our position." Poilievre isn't helping Canadians in Trump tariff showdown. montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu... #cdnpoli #peipoli

Disabled people are also a part of “the public.” Read that again.

Doug Ford comment (April 2023) on the Therme Spa deal at Ontario Place - “There is no public money in this deal." AG bombshell report (3 Dec 2024) All Ontarians are now paying $400 each for Doug Ford and Kinga Surma's $2.2B Ontario Place stench of corruption. #cdnpoli #peipoli

The # of disability families contacting us (@ontautism.bsky.social) has increased exponentially the last 6 mons & they’re in an ever increasing level of crisis. The FORD PC govt knows. I’ve told them. They don’t care. Please, Ontario. In 2025 vote like you give a shit. #onpoli #50KIsNotOK #onted

Canada sitting on average for Healthcare administration costs. Look at the US costs. Remember that as Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives attempt to privatize our Healthcare similar to the US system and "Bring it Home!" #cdnpoli #peipoli

Food Banks are overflowing in Canada. Not with food, but with the escalating number of people requiring their services. It is long past time to tax the billionaires. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Thank you #vaccines. Thank you #publichealth. #medsky wapo.st/3Zm23SU

Pierre Poilievre received a government pension at 31, then raised the retirement age on hard-working Canadians. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Sometimes I hit a pocket of quality posts here and think “Oh, twitter is so fucked…”

On the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we honour the 14 women whose lives were tragically taken in an act of violent misogyny at Polytechnique Montréal. To end femicide & gender-based violence, we must confront misogyny in all its forms and always #BelieveSurvivors.

Why is it called gerrymandering instead of cheating?

I've shared this before. Seems like a good time to share it again.

RFK, Jr. is the last person who should stand on any soap box and moralize.

My paid X account is being throttled bc of my efforts to educate the Ontario public about the 50k kids waitlisted for the ON autism program; that Ford let us all down. But the men lashing out at me w obscenities - nothing comes of reporting them. I’m thankful for #bluesky #50KIsNotOK
