By far, @ashleighweeden.bsky.social is one of the most brilliant people I know, and I always learn so much listening to her speak!

I know that when you can have an old, white, male elected official stand up and tell her that her “radical” ideas are what we need - she’s nailed it! #ROMA2025

Rural roads are inherently more dangerous than urban roads (as this was in a rural section of #ldnont). 55% of Ontario road fatalities are on rural roads - we can make them safer. The letter than AORS sent to #onpoli below supporting Good Roads advocacy on the investments needed to make our 1/

Every Liberal MP should be calling on the Prime Minister to resign. No he doesn't get to spend Christmas thinking about his future. The surest way to elect a Conservative majority & lose all the progress we've made is for him to stay. And we need to focus on tariff threat from the US. It's over.

I’m happy to support @thenarwhal.ca, and it’s journalists for the work they do - particularly uncovering the secrets of the #onpoli government! If you’re able, you should join me! #cdnfoi
At @thenarwhal.ca , our reporters file hundreds of #cdnfoi requests every year because it seems there are still far too many people in government who don't believe you have a right to know what they are up to.
Here's how you can help us do more of this work.
278 FOI requests: The Narwhal’s year of fighting for transparency
Since the beginning of 2024, reporters from The Narwhal have filed over 250 freedom of information requests — spending over $4,000 in fees

What’s it like to be a woman in politics? Here’s a small snippet of what my DM’s and replies used to look like. There is not very many jobs you would have to put up with this vitriol and *not be able to do anything about it* because if you even shut off replies you are “not doing your job”. #onmuni
