Today is a victory for workers.
This win belongs to the workers, unions, and advocates from across the province who stood firm against the Conservatives’ unconstitutional attack on their rights.

A woman has gone viral online for declaring that she will not be tipping on any drive-thru, self-serve, walk-up or to-go food orders 💰
What's YOUR take on this? Do you normally tip in these instances?

Who on earth is leading the city negotiations with the Feds? Open the damn armoury.
Love my new tote from @RaisingTheRoof. What a neat initiative.
We had a contest for Canadian high school students to create a design for our new tote bag with the theme Reside. It is finally here! The winning artist is Jiayi - a student from Edmonton Alberta. We think you’re going to love this new tote! buff.ly/3FyBRuI
I was honored to speak to some truly passionate youth today about my experiences with homelessness. These youth were selected from all over Canada by @RaisingTheRoof and are definitely up and coming change makers in relation to Canadian Homelessness. Thanks for inviting me.
Thank you for giving me a voice and sharing my health journey with others. I hope this article helps even just one person. Thanks to @ericalenti and @Chatelaine for remaining flexible with me when I canceled our planned meetings and rescheduled due to my precarious health.
I started working on this story, about one woman's hellish ride on Ozempic, back in August. Months later, I still haven't fully processed the extent of what she's gone through. Grateful to Emily for sharing her harrowing story with me and @Chatelaine: chatelaine.com/health/ozempi…

Accommodation and access are not gifts to be bestowed upon disabled people.
Accommodation and access are imperatives to insure inclusion, equity and justice for disabled people.
