Thank you Janis Irwin for standing with the civilians of Gaza.

Your picture is worth more than a thousand words to us - because compassion is priceless.

On the question of “objectionable attire” - the #OurLondonFamily was killed because of what they were wearing and because…

Accessing public health care should not be a luxury charged to your credit card.

Great news! Peggy Sattler, Lisa Gretzky, Jill Andrew and Kristyn Wong-Tam's bill to declare #IntimatePartnerViolence an epidemic in Ontario passed 2nd reading. #IPV #femicide #EndGBV

Joined TA/PD Union@ Western at Western University in solidarity with teaching assistants. TAs play a huge role in supporting students and keeping universities running. They deserve to be paid fair wages that reflect the rising cost of living. #onpoli #onPSE #FairDealNow #StrikeAtWestern

Proud to stand with Ontario Nurses' Association fighting for #CareNotProfit . Long-term care home nurses deserve fair compensation and proper staffing ratios! #onpoli #onhealth

Today was a major step forward in declaring intimate partner violence as an epidemic in Ontario. Instead of tying up Bill 173 in committee hearings & red tape, Ford should act now on the full Renfrew Inquest report he’s had since 2022. #ONpoli

It was a major step forward in declaring intimate partner violence as an epidemic in Ontario.

Ontario NDP Bill 173, the Intimate Partner Violence Act, 2024 passed 2nd reading.

Great work by advocates and survivors to push for Bill 173.

You should never have to pay out of pocket—but that's what happened when patients at an Ottawa clinic were charged $400 to access primary care.

Many thanks to the Guru Nanak Mission Society for a terrific Sikh Heritage Month launch event, and the many informative displays on Sikhism and the contributions of Sikh Canadians. Thanks also to the City of London for officially proclaiming the month for the second year in a row!

The Ontario NDP won a massive victory forcing Ford's PCs to recognize that Intimate Partner Violence is an epidemic today. This is only the first step. Watch the debate live here. #ONpoli twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Hundreds of advocates worked tirelessly to force the Ford government to pass the Ontario NDP bill to declare Intimate Partner Violence an epidemic. Now we must move forward with the urgent work to end it. #OnPoli

BREAKING: A group of FIERCE women came to Queen's Park today & got the Ford gov't to declare intimate partner violence an epidemic!

From NDP MPPs, advocates, and the fearless Fartumo, #OSSTF member from Windsor, they never stopped fighting for families & communities 💜 #OnPoli

Government House Leader confirmed that they will support Bill 173 at second reading to declare Intimate Partner Violence an Epidemic but not waive third reading. Instead they will send it committee to “study it”further. This is a trick and not what the Renfrew Inquest called for!
