23/28 Granny Midwives Granny midwives served both other African women as well as white women in birth. They were healers trained in their communities, a legacy of slavery but also central to health care during segregation since they could not access hospitals at the time

So let me get this straight: The Ontario government literally underspent by $5.5 billion this year (including $1.3 billion unspent on healthcare & $1.1 billion unspent on social supports like ODSP) during a COVID-19 crisis, overdose death crisis & a housing crisis? Enraging.

BREAKING: Toronto Police have released data showing Black people were 230% more likely to have a police officer point a firearm at them when they appeared to be unarmed than white people. I don't want to hear anyone say that systemic racism doesn't exist in policing EVER AGAIN.

Make no mistake: The violence we're seeing on the TTC won't be addressed by having more police present. We need more housing. More mental healthcare. More harm reduction services. More public washrooms. More warming centres. We need a City of Toronto that's more compassionate.

As a healthcare professional, the fact that this has to be continually mentioned is unsettling. We need to do better ❤️‍🩹
