It’s an honour to be featured as one of the inspiring changemakers in Spacing’s 20th anniversary issue. It’s a crazy, yet wholesome feeling I get when I realize people look up to me. They’re inspired by me and the stuff I do. I am extremely grateful.

In 2022, ON hospitals spent $173,669,808 on nurses from private agencies, a 350% increase from 2020. OCHU/CUPE is asking for an investment of $250 million a year for the next five years for staffing. It costs almost as much money to break public health care as it does to save it.

This month I wrote a piece in the local paper about the proposed Eglinton East LRT. Line 7 could be transformational for Scarborough & there are many questions worth asking. Let me know your thoughts. #ScarbTO #EELRT #TOpoli Page 2 January Bluffs Monitor: bluffsmonitor.com/wp-content/upl…

A Toronto police officer, also a landlord, assaulted his tenant and stole $5,000+ of her belongings. He has been suspended with pay. As Torontonians, we must question a system that downplays violent offences among those supposedly charged with keeping communities safe.

[1/3] As Toronto City Council rightfully considers increasing parking violation fines to $75 from $30, it should also fix the unfair residential permit parking rules that vary across the city. Read my op-ed in today's Toronto Star: thestar.com/opinion/contri… #TOpoli

I've got to commend Metrolinx for doing the right thing & adding bike coaches to GO train routes that were overcrowded w/ bikes. If only VIA Rail Canada would allow customers to travel w/ bikes in luggage cars after a 4-year ban... CC Ministers Prabmeet Sarkaria & Pablo Rodriguez

I can’t explain how ruthless both Barney River & Dream Unlimited have been in their attempts to lock out members of @YSWtenants. I’ve seen this myself. It’s pure greed with no regard for humanity. We organize & win back their homes, but we really shouldn’t have to.

Home care workers bring compassionate care to your doorstep, yet are paid less than their peers in other parts of the health care system. Let’s work together to close the wage gap. #ForUsForYou

Awarding a massive expansion & new 30-yr license to a for-profit #LTC home with one of the worst records of negligence and death is absolutely not in the public interest. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
