How wild that you have to ask/beg for "POVERTY-LEVEL Financial Support"!
(People with disabilities are already living more than 40% BELOW the poverty line and have to beg for #crumbs. 🤯🙅🏻♀️ It's criminal.) #legislatedpoverty #pwd #odspoverty #onpoli #bcpoli #canpoli #cdnpoli

We must not let Ward 2 Councillor Jason Farr and others sell our Discovery Centre to the highest bidder. It's a significant public building that needs to be re-imagined for all Hamiltonians, not just those attending a private wedding or banquet. #SaveTheDiscoveryCentre

Here's to all the #OnPoli reporters out there combing through a 300+ page Long Term Care Commission report at 9 o'clock on a Friday night. I hope you're doing it with a glass of wine or a cold one. We've been incredibly well served in Ontario by your doggedness and determination.
