I taught my grade 9 science class about Grassy Narrows last week. Why? Because it’s directly related to the curriculum. Why teach about abstract “human activity” when I could be talking about real stuff happening right now?

“Controversial projects are still being considered for Greenbelt lands, both by private developers and the Ontario government itself,” observes Emma McIntosh as the Ford government continues its attacks on supposedly-protected prime farmland, wetlands & natural heritage #onpoli

For the 2000th time, BAN PREDATORY #FORPROFIT TEMP AGENCIES!

My goodness... children as young as eight brought by teachers to a political event carrying signs clearly made in advance waving flags, wearing the same colours chanting slogans and taking sides even giving interviews to the media... How did we all miss this?

Not to mention record use of food banks, record use of for-profit nursing agencies, kids at risk being housed in hotels, wasting $ on investigations that could go to cleaning up the mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows - it's a long, long, list

I bet a tunnel under the 401 will help.

Ontarios Auditor General found the Ford government did not track ER closures let alone have a plan to resolve them. Same goes for nursing and doctor shortages. No plans. No action. Ontarios Premier abdicated provincial healthcare responsibilities to benefit private interests

Today, I tabled Bill C-413 to help combat Residential School denialism. In honor of Orange Shirt Day, I extend this gift to survivors and their families on behalf of myself and all my colleagues. May you find justice and healing in the protection of your stories.
