The Bloor West Ukrainian Festival turns 30! This year, it symbolizes solidarity with Ukraine. The 20,000 teddy bears represent Ukrainian children stolen by Russia. We demand their return! Thanks to the Bloor West Village BIA and all who made this celebration possible. Slava Ukraini!

Grateful for Abi and the amazing team at The Red Door that supports women and children escaping IPV. 🚨 In 2024, Ontario saw a troubling rise in IPV victims—6,289 reported, an 18.1% increase from last year. Let's push for awareness and support! 💪💜 #EndIPV #ConsentAwareness #SupportSurvivors

This is not ok, and to dismiss this shocking behaviour speaks to the premier's deeply entrenched misogyny and patriarchal attitude that continue to excuse and normalize the targeting and intimidation of women in public life.

My prayers are for those in Berlin who are grieving today and for an end to homophobia and transphobia. I stand with the 2SLGBTQ community, who deserve to live and love without fear.

He lives 5 km away from Queen's Park. It's 7 subway stops... but Cho spent $16,000 of taxpayers' money to stay at a hotel. I thought Ford said, "the party with taxpayers money is over." I guess he meant the Liberals had to stop partying, so the Conservatives could start?

I'm seeing a pattern. Ford Government is appointing insiders and family friends, who do not appear to be qualified, for government positions. Should we be surprised? No. Should we be outraged? Absolutely. When you uncover one corruption scandal with Ford, 2 more take its place. He needs to go.

The plan to support the unique employment barriers of people with developmental disabilities created in 2021 by the Ford government is a failure. Long-time disability services agencies are sounding the alarm and refusing to engage with the program. People deserve better.

Over 67,500 children are still on the Ontario Autism Program waitlist and last year’s funding barely made a dent. It’s time to cut the red tape and invest in real, frontline care because every child deserves support now, not years from now.

One child connected to Ontario’s child welfare system dies every three days. We can't keep children safe if we don't know why they are dying. Instead of answering for it, the Ford government stopped reporting the numbers altogether.
