Canada’s politicians promised a nation-wide prescription drug plan - let’s make sure they keep that promise.

We could be seeing up to 40,000 cases a day in the province by mid-February and Doug Ford just failed to announce what we truly need today, said Fred Hahn, Pr...esident of CUPE Ontario. Every expert has made it clear that we need paid sick leave, especially during an infection disease emergency. It’s unconscionable that this government is yet again failing to take the advice and to keep us safe. Read more: cupe.on.ca/nosickleavemeansmoredeaths/

Nothing has changed. The CON govt just wants to make it look like they are doing something, when they are not. It’s disgusting. They are sacrificing lives. Please explain to me how keeping spec Ed classes and teachers in schools during a stay at home order makes any sense? I thought everyone was supposed to be staying home. These are some of our most vulnerable students who can’t always wear masks or don’t wear masks and our teachers’ and students’ lives are being put at risk- it’s revolting. Businesses are still open, so really nothing has changed. Enforcement is near to impossible. Why are people allowed to gather in groups of up to five outside, when they’re being told to stay home? If you’re supposed to stay home, then why are you gathering?

@Sflecce @fordnation @WDGPublicHealth @JustinTrudeau Please explain to me why teachers in the US are on the priority list for vaccinations, but they are not here in Canada and especially Ontario where cases are skyrocketing? Please also explain why our most vulnerable students (who don’t or can’t always wear masks) & their teachers and Ed workers are being forced to go back to an unsafe environment at school? This is ludicrous!

Coming Soon ....... Our Annual Xmas Sock Drive! More details to come shortly. Socks. One very small way to help our community!

The government has failed in its responsibility to protect Ontarians and ETFO calls on Public Health Units for action. Despite repeated calls for adequate saf...ety measures, the government has refused to implement them in a misguided effort to save money, jeopardizing the health and safety of students, educators and their families," said Sam Hammond, ETFO President. ETFO is urging Medical Officers of Health to do what they have been entrusted to do prioritize community health and safety over politics and reconsider the return of elementary students to in-class learning next week.

Facts Matter...

Enough is enough. Trump put out a video of himself at a rally encouraging his supporters to riot and storm the Capitol with weapons and violence because he stil...l can’t admit his defeat. He should be put in jail. Encouraging and inciting violent riots to further his political agenda is despicable. He doesn't care about his supporters. He is clearly deranged. His supporters are his pawns. They support Trump’s domestic terrorism of treason, insurrection and rebellion. Crazy Trump supporters brought racist confederate and Trump flags, and were found with guns and pipe bombs in their possession. A woman working at the Capitol was tragically killed today because of Trump. Enough! See more
