Is Kermit the Frog doing the play-by-play for the #Sabrehood @ #GoKingsGo game? Because it’s awesome.

C’mon Coop, since you’re changing up the lines in the second, let’s see Marner and McDavid together.

Agencies get an increase, but residents don’t. From as little as $49/month residents must buy hygiene items, OTC medication/supplies, and clothing, including winter boots and coats.
Make it make sense.

ODSP recipients who reside in group homes never get an increase to their personal needs allowance, but the agencies who run them do get a (much needed) increase.
Residents give $25-$100 of PNA to agencies for…1/2

“Sensory” rooms in schools are just “seclusion” rooms with a more palatable name. They shouldn’t exist, period.
An Ontario mother is devastated after her 16-year-old son with special needs was found unresponsive at his school two weeks ago, and later pronounced dead. toronto.citynews.ca/2024/05/…

@FlyFrontier when 1/2 your passengers miss a flight due to long lines and insufficient staffing, despite arriving 2+ hours before domestic departure, maybe the problem is your process. Or, it’s a purposeful way to grab even more cash.

If this bylaw amendment passes, it will be a stain on the legacy of the current mayor & every city councillor who votes for it, and it will do nothing to fix the issue.
I’m embarrassed my city is in the news for this reason.
Barrie is moving to ban residents from giving money, food or water to homeless people on city property, an unprecedented move that has sparked criticism for being inhumane as cities across the country struggle with a proliferation of encampments. trib.al/1ObpWLZ

So much consternation about the illustrations in our little travel book.
Before the revamp was announced I wonder how many passport holders could name one image within it.

At least we got a cookie 🤷🏻♀️
Now, do we eat it or is that bad luck? I wonder what the corgi would say.

ODSP, OW, the autism file, developmental services, group homes, and so much more. This is a massive portfolio that has seen little evolution during her tenure, or since this govt took power actually. Will this development change anything?
We need policy solutions now to better support caregivers.
See @CdnCaregiving’s new white paper to learn how.

@fordnation will repeal #Bill28, which makes job action illegal, if @osbcucscso stops their job action first, do I have that right?
Is anyone falling for this?
#IStandWithEducationWorkers
Perfect summary of this latest development.
This isn't an olive branch from Ford. He is handing unions a white flag and asking THEM to wave it.

You can’t see her but my son’s educational assistant is off camera, providing support and encouragement to help him learn to walk independently at age 8, during gym class with his peers.
Why doesn’t @Sflecce and this government value this work?
#39kIsNotEnough
@Sflecce schools can not be open to disabled students like my son without educational assistants.
Respect their rights, pay them what they’re worth and let’s end this now.
Parents and students: @SCDSB_Schools will now be CLOSED tomorrow.
