It was a pleasure to join Ontario Nurses' Association today as they demanded that we prioritize #CareNotProfit in Ontario's Long-Term Care homes

Greg was there in memory of his late sister who was a proud nurse. He asked how he could honour her & she said, 'always show up to support nurses!'

“Largest cut to public education in the history of the province…”

Cue attack…. #onpoli

The weather was wet, but hearts were warm today. Thanks to members of the Ontario Nurses' Association who shared the realities they face in providing services for residents in long term care. Let’s bring nurse to patient ratios down! I will share these asks at Queen’s Park. #CareNotProfit

It appeared to be a rare moment of unity at Queen’s Park, but there are now fears the Ford government is delaying an NDP bill declaring intimate partner violence an epidemic. The government’s sudden change in tone led to a heated debate today. Full story: toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/04/…

We are witnessing the largest cut to public education funding in the history of this province.

Instead of constantly attacking teachers and school board trustees, the Minister should just fund education properly. Our children deserve so much better from this government.

'Cash-strapped Windsor-Essex board tells school staff to wear sweaters and share office supplies'

This doesn't surprise me. The current state of public education in Ontario is being severely underfunded 😥

I want a world where there is no domestic or sexual violence.

Until then, the WR Labour Council will continue to support organizations such as Sexual Assault Support Centre of WR. Proud our #IWD2024 Committee was able to provide a donation to assist with their services.

Intimate Partner Violence is an epidemic.

Today the Govt should support Bill 173

Powerful & emotional presser this am. IPV See it. Name it. Change it.

Disappointing to hear this news, especially after I dropped off signed petitions from the WR Labour Council this afternoon. We have to keep pressuring this government to stop illegal renovictions! #onpoli #rentalrights @ofl CLCOntario

Today I was joined by two #Kitchener community members who have been fighting to stay in their homes in the face of bad-faith renovictions. I'm so grateful for their courage and willingness to share their stories. #onpoli

Wilmot farmers brought their land assembly/expropriation concerns to Queen’s Park today. I admire their commitment to finding solutions and calls for transparency. Thanks to our Agriculture & Environment Critic John Vanthof, MPP Timiskaming-Cochrane & Sandy Shaw MPP for taking the time to listen #onpoli
