Doug Ford doesn't care about Ontario's school children.
Too many children and school staff are sweltering in poorly ventilated #OntEd classrooms with no air conditioning. Now with wildfire smoke raging outside we can’t even open the windows to provide some air flow. But we can afford a ridiculous tunnel and an overpriced spa. Thanks, Doug.
As many Ontario cities endure one of this year's first heat event, we need to better understand the link between heat and workplace safety.
Meanwhile, the province remains 'data blind' on heat-related deaths.
We have a lot of work to do.

Now would be a great time for @ndp.ca, @canadiangreens.bsky.social & Bloq to push for electoral reform in ex. for stable support.
I'm happy with the outcome but hope this isn't the final slide into a 2 party system. Vote splitting and strategic voting with FPTP isn't much better.

CBC said early votes tend to come in later, but the reporting comes in by poll. How does that work? If you do advanced voting do you technically belong to a different poll than the one on election day?

Advanced polls were as busy as election day this morning! I hope this is a promising sign of high turnout.

Credit where credit is due - the new GRT app makes casual riding a lot easier than having to find change or buy a card. It's great when you happen to need to get between two places that are connected by the iON. Hopefully in time coverage will expand so that happens more often.

🚨 NIH sent out another data call, this time for projects "related to any form of censorship at all or directing people to believe one idea over another related to health outcomes… e,g., any contracts to promote COVID vaccine uptake," I'm told.
These data calls have recently preceded terminations.

BREAKING NEWS: Canadian Premier Wab Kinew of Manitoba MOCKS Trump by signing a “beautiful” order that officially removes ALL American liquor from Canadian stores in his province.
Donald Trump just caused massive economic damage to our country. How sad and embarrassing.

This. 100%. If @cbcnews.ca wants to have any claim to legitimately they need to do a strong 180 and hire some real journalists.
As non-Americans, I think our best bet right now is to make our media and public figures stop SANE WASHING all of the crazy coming from the WH. Call it what it is in words that are appropriate: insane actions of a grifting doomsday cult that has taken over the US government.

More hand-wringing this morning from @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social about school attendance. When will they consider the impact of constant & chronic illness, inconsistent instruction, & gaslighting/indifference from admin? The idea that teacher absenteeism is "self care gone too far" is absurd.

I don't know what to make of this. I want to believe it was a protest, but I have a sinking feeling it wasn't.
During the US governors ball, the US Army Choir surrounded the MAGA leadership and sang: "Do

The oligarchs didn’t even realize they were being protested. #3E #USprotest #EndOligarchy

Seems like it. Attention whore Hanomansing once again “both sides” a dictatorship threatening a sovereign country. He did the same thing with the pandemic - giving minimizers like Bogoch & Henry free rein to spread disinformation. Think of the masses he’s harmed by doing so. He’s a propagandist!
