Local government spends millions on advertising telling taxpayers why they shouldn’t be bothered by 17-hour wait times in their local ER - if their local ER hasn’t already been shut down by local government’s cost cutting on healthcare.

Ontario Health Ministry spent $13.3M on advertising last year
Newly released records bring advertising spending identified by The Trillium to more than $90M across five ministries

We need stronger sexual health education — the ‘Cornell 7’ case shows why
Allegations of sexual assault at Cornell University, and the public response to them, reveal persistent misunderstandings about consent, bystander responsibility and sexual violence.

It makes me want to storm into Queen's Park with a giant white board and break down the numbers in front of Doug Ford and ask him where he would like his constituents to find room for things like retirement savings, down payment savings, etc. I'd probably be tackled by the Minister of Finance though

#EndSexualViolence #EndRapeCulture
How to avoid sexual assault!

A quick and easy guide*

1. Don't put drugs in people's drinks

2. Use the buddy system! If you can't stop yourself from sexually assaulting someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times to stop you.

3. When you come across someone who is drunk or asleep, the best thing to do is not rape them.

4. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone.

5. If you are in a lift and someone steps in, remember not to sexually assault them.

6. Carry a whistle. If you think you might rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.

* for perpetrators
