SCREAMING this from my soapbox: It's not appropriate to label kids with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as "bad kids." Doing so is stigmatizing and can harm their self-esteem and well-being. Retweet if you agree!

Retweet if you agree that Ontario needs to end the wage suppression of nurses when hospital shutdowns are occurring due to a shortage of nurses. #RepealBill124

"People don't care where the money's coming from. They want action. They don't want to see a backlog of surgeries, which the majority of us are facing.' -Doug Ford But Ontarians do want to know what happened to the missing $4.4 bn the federal govt sent to the province. #onpoli

Addressing the teacher shortage shouldn't involve lowering criteria to be a teacher--it should involve supporting teachers, paying them, and providing the resources needed to best serve students.

So if Wynne’s Gas Plant Scandal cost tax payers $230 million & her Premiership, how angry should voters be that Ford has secretly hidden $5.2billion(22x more) in Covid relief from Feds & is actually fighting his plans’ release at the SCC with taxpayer $$$?

I was so excited when my #autistic son got his PT job. Then, his caseworker explained that once Aaron earns $200/m, #ODSP will clawback 50¢ of every dollar earned! 😡 How is he & others supposed to rise out of #poverty & be financially independent under these conditions? #onpoli

There are many disabilities. Common disabilities are: vision Impairment, deaf or hard of hearing, mental health conditions, intellectual disability, acquired brain injury, autism spectrum disorder, and physical disability. Let's not focus on one or the other. #AccessForALL

-Resume masking in school/grocery stores/pharmacies. -narrow the shot 2->3 gap -make PCR testing more widely available, advertise inclusion criteria for Paxlovid & make it easier to get -communicate with the public None of these actions harm the economy and will save lives.

Haven’t heard from @Sflecce or Dr. Moore or @fordnation on the invitations to eat lunch in schools with staff and children when the masks come off? Please retweet to see if we can get a response. @CTVNews @CP24 @globalnewsto @CBCQueensPark @robferguson1 @globeandmail please ask

🚫 NO to nurses 🚫 NO to kids w autism 🚫 NO to our elders in LTC 🚫 NO to teachers 🚫 NO to people on ODSP 🚫 NO to raising minimum wage 🚫 NO to the immunocompromised 🚫 NO to children 🚫 NO to $10/day daycare
Our province has come so far. We can't afford to go back the politics of NO. Instead, your government is saying YES! ✅YES to building ✅YES to investing ✅YES to workers ✅YES to jobs

Attn @osstf @ETFOeducators @OPCouncil @CPCOofficial Why are outside providers not allowed in schools to help support students? If my child is already working w/someone (paid for) why can't they come to observe, troubleshoot and/or teach staff? #onpoli @Sflecce @maritstiles

FYI, after Ontario raised the min. wage to $15/hr, my son's monthly income increased $40.👍 What did #ODSP do? Reduce their support by $20!😡You say @fordnation is committed to giving ppl a "hand up", but until you address this inequality, that's simply not true! #odspoverty

The Legion strongly condemns those who jumped on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and disrespected the National War Memorial on Saturday. The site commemorates those who fought and fell for the very freedoms that allow the right to protest peacefully and respectfully.

This thread.
Trigger warning: COVID death. Hi Jane. This is Dr. Bakshi calling from Edmonton. I am not sure if you're aware, but your mom Anne was admitted to the COVID ward about 2 hours ago. I'm calling because she is not doing well, and will likely not survive the day."
