Mad that Jays tickets are astronomically expensive? Blame Ford.

Mad that you lost rent control? Blame Ford.

Mad to be inundated with ads for gambling? Blame Ford.

Mad that classrooms are overcrowded? Blame Ford.

Mad that health care is crumbling? Blame Ford.

The man is the cause of so much BS.

Saw a patient in the ER that was struck by a car while riding their bicycle. They noted that they were not intending to make a police report because the driver had stopped and been nice. Mutual kindness is heartwarming, but there are reasons why making an official report is important.

Ottawa! Please spread the word!

We need to show our elected officials that "We'll get to equality once we figure out tariffs, balance the budget, etc." is all kinds of BS.

Ottawa's "Take Back the Night" march starts at Minto Park at 6pm that night and will meet up with this event on the Hill.

Ottawa: If you're salty that we're experiencing a femicide & IPV epidemic & yet the govt is proposing to cut the Women & Gender Equality department by 80%, mark your calendars for Sept 18.

"Take Back the Night" rally starts at 6pm at Minto Park then heads to the Hill. More details TBA!

I wanna encourage allies to make donations today.

Every sexual assault centre in the country has seen an uptick in calls *just* from the trial, let alone today's verdict.

I'd also encourage you to support the most effective rape resistance program in the world (based here in Canada!)

We've all seen the increase in hate, harassment and violence the last few years.

Unfortunately, most of us don't feel equipped to step in and intervene. We're scared of being hurt or making it worse.

Let me teach you effective intervention - for free!

Early voting starts today! A reminder that you don't have to do anything ahead of time. Just show up to your local voting booth with picture ID and you are good to go!

And don't forget to #VoteToEndGBV
The Canadian federal election is officially happening on April 28 🗳️

You will see lots of messaging about registering to vote, but that is a choice - not a necessity.

If being on the registry is a safety concern for you, you can just show up with ID and vote on the spot. It's your right!

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

We will hold you to this promise⬇️
Someone who’s been convicted of violent offences — especially intimate partner violence — should not be allowed to own a gun.

My government will automatically revoke their licences.
