“She has lied and people have died.” Moments ago at Queen’s Park: NDP MPP Robin Lennox is kicked out of the chambers for calling Health Minister Sylvia Jones a liar, following revelations that Ontario refused to fund Sabrina Apitz-Grossman’s cancer treatment despite its own health agency’s recommendation.

It is so dangerous not to have access to @Ornge medi-vac services to these communities: Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug Wapekeka Bearskin Lake Kasabonika Lake Kingfisher Lake Wunnumin Lake cc: @fordnation & @SylviaJonesMPP & @PrabSarkaria
Replying to @MarkJCarney
@MarkJCarney @fordnation to place these communities at such extreme risk is unacceptable. Where is the urgency to fix it? #NishnawbeAskiNation #remoteairports #Infrastructure

The office they show at the end of this video is right above mine, and I will cosign that the spirits are active over in our end of the building 👻😌✨
Halloween at Queen's Park. We brought in the Ontario Paranormal Society to the halls of the legislature to seek out the spirits. #onpoli

"SooToday reported that the MPP was in a romantic relationship with a member of his staff before his arrest. The revelation raised ethical questions about whether it’s appropriate for a politician to pursue a relationship with an employee whose salary is funded by taxpayers.” 🤢

“Pressed by The Trillium, Scott refused to answer questions about the ethics of a relationship with his staffer. “I don't think it's what's relevant or what's on people's minds right now,” he said. He did not deny the relationship."

I remember GO training in from Hamilton at 2 weeks post-partum because there was an important vote happening that I couldn’t miss. Let’s be clear: it’s possible to have a new baby, be a committed MPP, and not misuse taxpayer dollars because you wanted a snooze in a fancy hotel

If a senior can go to hospital for a hip replacement and go home in two days, then my bet is Stan Cho could have gone home in two days as well.  This excuse doesn’t explain why the Minister needed to spend $15,000 on hotel stays when his wife and child lived just 6km away.

I hear the winds of the Harper era blowing in… all the “abolish the Indian Act” talk… feds would love nothing more than to drop its fiduciary and treaty obligations. Saw this coming with Carney’s conservative extractive agenda. #cdnpoli #indianact #treaties

So he can absorb the reserve lands and steal the rest of First Nations resources? Wab Kinew isn’t the person that should be calling for this as a premier of a province that is colonizing First Nations territories.

Digesting #BCElection2026 & worrying about what it means for DRIPA, truth, justice and reconciliation, Indigenous land rights, & our human rights obligations. Waking up to messages like this is exactly why. We must work even harder to resist the erosion of Indigenous rights.

David Eby’s legacy = human rights violating military raid on Wet’suwet’en as AG, cheating in the leadership race to become Premier, simping for LNG, colossally failing to uphold DRIPA, worst snap election in Canadian history

Something we have to recognize about the Tories victory in BC tonight is that it's fueled to a large extent by racism against indigenous people.

Here are the graves. This Orange Shirt Day we are returning the Brandon Indian Residential School cemetery grounds to the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation on behalf of many First Nations whose children are buried here. This is one of the most well documented burial grounds at a residential school in Canada with not only church and historical records but also contemporaneous newspaper articles describing what happened to these children. You can not deny history. #orangeshirtday #everychildmatters #truthandreconciliation #trc #herearethegraves

You know who was pretty quiet today regarding the masked white supremacists mobilizing in Kamloops with residential school denialism on the eve of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation? @PierrePoilievre. Here he is posing with the group's founder.

If you mismanaged money, signed bad deals, and ran up the office credit card at work – you'd probably lose your job ❌ In Doug Ford's record-oversized cabinet? You get a promotion 💼🤝 It's just a big game of musical chairs to them, doing as little as possible whilst wasting your tax dollars 🪑💸 They're trying to change the channel from scandal after scandal: but we know we can't trust these guys 📉
