The wave of cynical, divisive populism spreading across Canada is threatening to find another foothold in Don Valley West (Ward 15) as voters go to the polls on November 4th to elect a new City Councillor after the tragic passing of Jaye Robinson. Far right pundit Anthony Furey..

Investigate:
1. The flagrant misuse of MZO’s for friends and family, violating the principles of local democracy. Why is the Province MZO’ing lands of private developers and not developing land it owns itself, around GO stations?
2. Ontario Place. Why a multi-million $ subsidy for parking to an Austrian spa? Why is this advancing if it is not supported? Who has a stake in this. Why, when the Province decided to subsidize development here, was a fully transparent procurement process to find interested bidders not advanced, with clarity of investment from the Province made to all of the bidders? Is the subsidy only available to an Austrian company? Why?
3. Why have there been quickie billion $$ contracts for the new Ontario Line? Why were procurement rules changed and/or not followed? Who benefited from the changing of these rules, and why were they changed?
4. Eglinton Crosstown fiasco. Why does the Province not care? Why is an operating agreement not in place with the TTC? Why is the public not being informed about when the line is opening. Why are construction workers parking in vehicles lanes along the corridor blocking traffic, as they sweep the sidewalks? How much repair work is required to make the disaster operational?
Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Time to shine some light on this government.

"Forget snorting that Snoo and huffing that Nugget. This is the real stuff. It’s expensive, it's addictive, it's impossible to get your hands on, and the government definitely doesn’t want you to have it: it’s called daycare." #McSweeneysTop20of2022

After recieving the fetal treatment, Ayla was born on June 22, 2021. At first, everything was a question mark for her parents — would she be able to hold up her head? Would she be able to crawl, to walk? nyti.ms/3DYLTnC

My latest: The Charter of Rights is being dismantled before our eyes. The constitutional bargain of 1982 is unravelling. Time for the feds to get serious.

Canadian Menopause Foundation Landmark report: 46% of women felt unprepared for menopause and the majority were not aware that these common symptoms were related (heart palpitations, depression, pain during intercourse, memory issues). We need more education. #menopause @SOGCorg

Getting the #Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy helps the body fight tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, protecting the fetus until old enough for vaccination as a newborn. It’s safe to get the Tdap and other vaccines at the same time. Learn more highriskpregnancyinfo.org/td… #VaxFacts

In light of today's announcement I need to say that there is a profound difference between being 'ideologically opposed to change' and being 'ideologically committed to health equity' (and supporting a publicly funded health system as a pillar of that).

The term “pregnant people” includes pregnant women & also people who are pregnant but are not women. It doesn’t in any way erase/deny women; it’s just more inclusive. I am a woman. I have friends who are not women but can get pregnant. Language that includes them doesn’t hurt me.
