The Nurse Practitioner Association of Ontario joined us at Queen’s Park and I had the chance to sit down with some nurse practitioners, including Jessica Romeo from Ottawa West–Nepean, to discuss improving funding models and better integrating NPs into our health care system.

SNAP will run out of money in two weeks. As a former food stamp recipient, I know how hungry you get by the end of the month. This is cruel and unnecessary, and anyone who supports this should be voted out. #hunger #SNAP www.boston.com/community/lo...

I tabled a petition calling on the government to stop the cuts to Algonquin College’s AAADD program: a vital program that helps students with developmental disabilities pursue postsecondary education and build life skills. Every student deserves the chance to learn, grow, and succeed.

Poilievre is somehow standing in a parliament building that he wasn’t elected to, calling out and casting aspersions on members of parliament who *were elected.* Dude. You lost your seat. These new ministers won their seats. Sit down (on the floor, as you have no seat).

hey @cbcqueenspark.bsky.social can you and the other CBC reporters not call Poilievre the leader of the opposition being as he is not an MP - Andrew Scheer is now the leader of the opposition, Poilievre is the leader of the CPC and a squatter in Stornoway

Carney is going to prove a MUCH harder attack target for Pierre Poilievre.
Trudeau's greatest flaw was his rigid stance in staying on script. He'd almost never attack back.
Carney will attack back. And he'll do it so intelligently that Pierre won't even know it's happening.

The Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) recently released a new analysis of a proposed national guaranteed basic income program for working-age Canadians, which found it is possible to halve previously projected costs while maintaining or even increasing its poverty-reduction impact.
How to build a well-designed national basic income program – at half the cost

Millions of Canadians' medical records are being sold to pharmaceutical companies—often without patient knowledge or consent.

Great to meet with Will and Rvaha from OMSA to talk about the future of family medicine in Ontario. We need to do much more to ensure that everyone has access to a primary care physician. I’ll keep fighting to make sure the Ford govt makes this a priority.

While delighted that PM Carney won, I’m deeply worried about Canada’s political future because the Conservatives won so many seats by using hate filled misinformation while touting an antidemocratic, anti choice, anti equality agenda.
This wasn’t a total win - the seeds of this will haunt us.
