In #DavenportTO, we've struggled for years to get Metrolinx to act in the best interests of public they are meant to serve. It's why our NDP platform included new accountability measures, more municipal participation at the agency & an end to wasteful P3s. thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay we celebrate and honour Indigenous ways of life and the ongoing contributions of Indigenous people. Let's support those working to protect language and culture, act to address the impacts of colonialism & strengthen protections for the lands we now share.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers & father figures out there, but especially this one. My Dad, Geoff Stiles. A gentle, funny, kind, champion of daughters, warrior for our planet... from New Jersey to Newfoundland to southern Africa & now Ottawa. What a journey. Love you!

Remember when "help was on its way"? Our elders should not be sweltering in institutions without air conditioning. Our kids shouldn't either. #Notgettintitdone
Two years after Premier Doug Ford announced he would require air conditioning in all resident rooms in long-term care, more than 100 LTC homes still don't have AC. Story by @LisaYaxiXing #onpoli #ontltc cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/a…

Former Fed Liberal Minister Joe Volpe sued me, @cllrainslie @TCDSB Trustees & others for $30M alleging defamation when we rose to the defense of @LGBTYouthLine & 2SLGBTQ families he was attacking in the Catholic school system. Volpe LOST. #HappyPride 🏳️‍🌈 canlii.ca/t/jpf3q

To make matters worse, wait times will only get longer with temporary paid sick days expiring on July 31st. Having paid sick days helps facilitate access to primary care, and workers with paid sick days and their children are less likely to rely on the emergency department.🧵
The most-read story on the @CBCNews website right now: patients in emergency rooms around Ontario waiting record lengths of time to get admitted to hospital. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/h…

Replying to @namshine
All politicians who are serious about tackling the emerging climate crisis should understand that hot days will continue to happen earlier and earlier in the school year and we need a plan to a) cool schools and b) provide outdoor learning/eating/play spaces that are shaded.

Everyone 18+ who wants a #COVID19 vaccine #booster should be able to access one. Without having to cross borders. Without having to hunt or luck out by finding a willing doctor, pharmacist, or clinic.

As a proud @Carleton_U alum, I want to extend my congratulations to the Class of '20, '21 and '22 who are participating in the largest-ever Convocation this week and next. I know there are great things ahead for all of you. #CarletonGrads2020 #CarletonGrads2021 #CarletonGrads2022
We’re kicking off two weeks of Convocation ceremonies today! We’re thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of the classes of 2020, 2021 and 2022 in person and provide well-deserved opportunity to cross the stage to the cheers of their loved ones. convocation.carleton.ca/

Somehow Ford managed to rush the cheques out the door for license stickers.... but childcare reimbursement? Slow as cold molasses.

"We cannot simply continue to drive corrosive, discriminatory and unlawful practices underground, only to come to light when the damage is long since done." Take a moment to read the @OntarioNDP response to the Toronto Police Race-based data findings report. #onpoli
