Internal briefing documents given to Ontario's Health Minister when she took office reveal that Doug Ford's wage suppression legislation #Bill124 contributed to the healthcare crisis in Ontario. This information was only obtained through a freedom of information request. Wow!

For those contemplating a detox or cleanse in the new year, here’s a toxicologist’s explanation of how they work: They don’t.

A four-year old in severe distress was flown 350km to access an ICU bed and we are still debating whether this level of funding is sustainable?

WHERE IS DOUG FORD? Absent all week. I suspect the most absent premier in decades. All while telling healthcare workers to put in longer hours

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser is poised to deport Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the driver whose tandem truck collided catastrophically with a bus carrying the Humbolt Junior Hockey team, killing 16. If he does so, it will be a triumph of blind vengeance over common sense. 1/10

AWESOME: Ontario’s 5 largest healthcare unions have joined forces to warn the public that the Ontario government is intentionally manufacturing our current massive healthcare crisis…to justify privatization. Who else agrees with them? ✋🏾

FARMERS: If you voted for Ford you might want to watch how he's about to pave over hundreds of farms and vote differently next time #MakingGreenofftheGreenbelt #Greenbelt

And with that.... the Ford government shuts down debate on #Bill23 so they can leave early for the weekend. It's 3pm on Thursday & we were expecting to be debating at least for another 3 hours. Bill 23 harms affordability, city budgets, the Greenbelt & farmland. Just awful.

I instruct an upper-year undergraduate course on Healthy Aging at @queensu - for one of the assignments, students were asked to create an infographic discussing a common myth about aging. I have permission to share some of the infographics with you... 1/7

While Doug Ford hoards billions, he tells the lowest paid education workers the cupboard is bare. Now he’s willing to trample their rights with legislation rather than raise the wages of the people who support students and schools every day. Ontario deserves better. #onpoli

Stephen Colbert nails on upcoming midterms saying HE knows what's going to happen. "For the next 13 days news media is going to yank our chains like they're trying to start a leaf blower." Ignore what media says. Vote like democracy depends on it. Because it does. #VoteBlue

If you’re always trying to read people’s emotions or wonder if someone is upset with you, you might have an insecure attachment style. HERE’S WHAT THAT MEANS 🧵:

In her latest column on motherhood, @amil reflects on being called a "cool mom" and why it made her feel good, then bad: "The sheer idea of this label implies that the default, the “Regular Mom,” is inherently undesirable, unlikable, and unappealing" thecut.io/3Dg0mfS

My 14 year old son is diabetic. He hasn't had covid and he's the only student in middle school that still wears a mask. He has been asked why he's wearing it still. His brother died of covid.. He has every right to still wear the mask. He shouldn't be questioned so much.

My heart goes out to June Onkundi, a Registered Nurse and a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who was stabbed to death my a patient in North Carolina. No one chooses nursing only to be killed by a patient. This is beyond devastating 💔

Bad arguments I don’t want to hear: - It’s the “carbon tax”: no, Loblaw’s profits are up *after* price increases related to carbon pricing at any stage - They’re just keeping up with inflation: no, inflation is around 7% (low for G20) - Justinflation: not a thing / CPC rhetoric

Galen Weston, our hero and captor, single-handedly fights back against his own price gouging, stating “most [unfair price increases] are reasonable”, meaning some are unreasonable. Apparently it’s the suppliers’ fault, explaining Loblaw’s soaring profit margin. #greedflation
