Today, myself, Terence Kernaghan NDP , and Peggy Sattler have written an open letter to the Ford Government calling for them to immediately ensure funding for Anova , a London-based agency that provides support for survivors of gender-based abuse and sexual violence #ldnont

True local representation. Thank you to our London MPPs for advocating on behalf of women and children who need support. #LdnOnt #onpoli Anova Teresa Armstrong Terence Kernaghan NDP Peggy Sattler

Whatever you do, DO NOT SHARE this photo of NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre with Russian agent Maria Butina. Apparently, Wayne wants it removed from the internet.

Important thread!

ALERT- Chiefs attempt negotiating safe access w/ RCMP, yet helicopters fly overhead. Wet'suwet'en & members the public still being denied access to territory by police. We hear RCMP amassing forces in Houston. This is not over. All eyes on our camp. #unistoten #wetsuwetenstrong

Don’t say “Canada’s Indigenous people” or “our Indigenous people” or similar possessives to describe the Indigenous people that are in this country. It is paternalistic and implies Canada owns Indigenous people. Use Indigenous people in Canada. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

Today, #WesternU students told the Ford gov that education should be accessible to all, not just the rich! I'm proud of students from Western, #Fanshawe, & campuses across Ontario for taking this principled stand. Ford has a tough fight on his hands! #onpoli #ONpse #LdnOnt

Students shouldn't have to worry about paying back their student loans before they even attend their convocation ceremony. Eliminating OSAP grants and the grace period will only make life harder for students. #onpoli #ONpse #WesternU #LdnOnt

Found this image on a post my grandfather shared this evening on Facebook... the truth of these words is my reflection for the night. #HenriNouwen

Pro tip: never, I repeat never, try to read academic material when you have been awake nearly 30 hours. It's a battle you will not win. #exhausted #sleepless #mentalhealth #studentlife #notime #ughhhh #sos #sendhelp

It grieves me to resign from a portfolio where I was at work to deliver an important mandate. I must abide by my core values, my ethical responsibilities, constitutional obligations. There can be a cost to acting on one’s principles, but there is a bigger cost to abandoning them.

Ford took away: -specialized education for kids with autism -osap grace period -cuts in osap -cuts in ohip+ What he’s done: -change our license plate -change our drivers licence -dollar beers (apparently) We still pay the same taxes! tax money is going to the important stuff!
