A 45-minute flight to Kingston. A planned flight to London. Here’s how Premier Doug Ford has been skipping the 401 commute and flying to announcements in Ontario instead. All billed to taxpayers. globalnews.ca/news/11973406/… #onpoli

Ford flew short haul across southern Ontario as jet purchase was finalized | Globalnews.ca

Schedules reveal that Ford took four short-haul domestic flights on the OPP plane over less than two months and chartered a jet to travel to Texas.

When my kid has to leave school because she’s having a nose bleed because of perfumed products worn by other kids, are they going to be sent home because they forcing her grade down unless I pay for a doctors note each time?
Jill Promoli@jillpromoliJun 30
Can we have explicit confirmation that a doctor’s note will now be required to excuse a student’s absence due to illness? For a fever? For vomiting? Clarity is vital here. My child died as a result of illness in the classroom and I would like to know. @fordnation @PaulCalandra

How does a full ban approach help kids who use social media as their lifelines to connect with others like them? The neurodivergent and queer kids in small towns with no other resources? Kids with unsupportive families? Kids with abusive parents?
Wab Kinew@WabKinewMay 14
We can all agree that kids should be protected. Big tech and AI platform are targeting young people before their brains are fully developed. Manitoba is taking action by banning social media and AI chatbots for kids under 16. It’s about taking back control over our kids eduction, socialization and in the long term, taking back control of our democracy. 🇨🇦

Thank you. To help pass Marit Stiles’ motion, go to BanPredatoryPricing.ca and use the email tool. It will send an email to every single Ontario PC MPP. The more emails that are sent, the more pressure we can put on the MPPs to break with Doug Ford and support this common-sense motion.

Ban Predatory Pricing

AI-driven price gouging has no place in Ontario

Oh, chronic absenteeism after the pandemic has risen to over 60% for high school students in Ontario? That’s because IT’S NOT AFTER THE PANDEMIC Kids are missing school because they are sick, and this is happening on a global scale. @globalnews apple.news/A59EHd4IQS-OXx-EK…

Ontario high school attendance drops to 40% of target as government considers changes

Temperature is one component of indoor air quality. Unfortunately there's no IAQ policy or law that ensures all buildings have clean air at a safe temperature, at any level of government - this is what CIean Indoor Air Toronto is fighting for!

We need a province wide strategy codifying all new schools be built with A/C and a program funding the renovation work required to bring current buildings up to proper standards. Kids can't learn in excessive heat

Hi, internet stranger. I'm a former computational biochemist who specialized in the immune system. Most of the literature supports covid damaging people's immune systems. It may not harm every person's immune system, but the population level consequences affect all of us.

@confusionm8trixJan 16
so is there anyone who’s not a crank or a scold that can tell me whether covid is giving us all some kind of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome? because it does sort of seem like that’s happening to some degree but it feels like the only people discussing it are cranks and scolds

A mother was murdered by a masked, armed government agent who called her a “fucking bitch” after he shot her in the face three times, and half the country doesn’t care because they believe liberal women have it coming.
