It took just one day of unhappy parents to get back playgrounds. Time to mobilize and get #PaidSickDays. #onpoli

I truly believe it's the role of government to mandate paid sick days, but it's clear to me that that might not happen under our current leadership. It's inspiring to see this grassroots movement happening and to be able to support it.

Science Advisory Table statement: Ontario is now facing the most challenging health crisis of our time. If we want to bring #COVID19Ontario under control, protect our health system and reopen as quickly as possible, this is the way forward: covid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/f…

Toronto should not allow wider use of e-scooters, say city staff thestar.com/news/gta/2021/… via Toronto Star

A 13-year old girl died in a 2-bedroom apartment of essential workers who feared she'd be sent to a hospital far from them because the city's ONLY hospital was full. I don't know whether I'm more angry or sad. We shouldn't have lost Emily Victoria Vegas theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Testing volume is very low. Test positivity is very high. Therefore, case counts are virtually impossible to interpret. ICU admissions are still increasing. Overall this is still a very worrisome picture.

#BREAKING: The Ontario government has once again voted against #PaidSickDays. In total, our government has now voted against paid sick days 21 times since the start of the #COVID19 pandemic. If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

Ontario desperately needs #PaidSickDays. If you agree RT.

#BREAKING: Ontario government to announce a #PaidSickDays plan at 3:15pm today. Remember the list of what’s effective: ✅ Universal (employer delivered) ✅ Fully paid without interruption ✅ Permanent ✅ Adequate in number ✅ Free of barriers This is the gold standard.

So we got a temporary program for only 3 days, which is not part of labour laws ie likely very hard for workers to actually make employers enact if they need it. This is not permanent, universal, accessible, adequate paid sick days legislation. #onpoli #covid19

There was no mention in the federal budget, of accessibility targets for the $8.8B for new housing. Yet housing inaccessibility in Canada is in crisis and disabled folks must not be denied their #Right2Housing in this major initiative 2/ thestar.com/politics/feder… via Toronto Star
