first day back at work after mat leave. update: it's so hard. so very hard. parental leave should be a basic human right. it is not a privilege. all parents deserve the right to heal, bond and get to know their growing child. i wouldn't have survived without it. 1/

Fred Penner and Mr. Dressup is a pretty great crossover, but the story behind it carries some tragedy. About two weeks before he was to appear on Fred Penner's Place in 1992, Ernie Coombs' wife Marlene was struck & killed by a car while she was out shopping in Toronto. Penner

Stephen Harper said his government "had no obligations to 🇨🇦's veterans, whatsoever." Now, an even more sinister Stephen Harper runs a fascist organization (The IDU) which has no obligations to 🇨🇦, whatsoever. #NeverVoteConservative #ConsAreFascists

JUST IN: Jonathan Lewis, a teenage boy who was beaten up by 15 students at a high school in Las Vegas, Nevada had died. Throw them all in prison for life. According to the boy's father, the brutal beating happened after 17 year old Jonathan Lewis stood up for one of his

I don't know what you want us nurses to do for you if you enabled Doug Ford's decimation of public health by voting for him. Now you want nurses to magically fast-forward your 12 hours ER wait time, when you had a chance to vote? Try again! My shift is 12hours long and I promise

How can we prevent this from happening again? WATCH

Historic Vids Paul Newman in Washington where Dr. King delivered his ‘I Have a Dream Speech’ August 28, 1963. Paul Newman was not only a Hollywood super star, but a philanthropist and way-ahead-of-his-time activist. He was fighting against big oil companies and sounding the alarm on

BREAKING: Toronto’s Budget Chief announces staff budget unveiled today includes a 9% property tax increase and a 1.5% increase in the city building levy. #topoli

Is this a tax increase that benefits the home owner and the citizens of Toronto? An earlier report suggested that 6.5% would be needed to support refugees. So is the prop. tax actually 3% plus the 1% city levy? Can we expect another 4% + in 2025? Justin Trudeau Doug Ford
