🧵The other day @pressprogress published an article (pressprogress.ca/ontario-educat… ) exposing @Sflecce’s private audience with right wing religious lobbying organization & “think tank”, #Cardus. #OntEd #FireLecce #cdnpoli 
#Cardus, a registered “charity”, wants taxpayers to fund private for-profit religious schools & a voucher system that has gutted public education in 🇺🇸.
This model would siphon needed funds from public schools & funnel them instead to schools with RW religious ideology #ONpoli

#Cardus revenues = nearly $5M/yr.
Cardus’ donations from other charities increased 17.4 X from 2008-2020. A nearly 2,000% increase in just over a decade. Yet they pay zero in taxes, because “charity”…like lobbying to gut public education in favour of for-profit religious schools

1/7 This Twitter.com website can occasionally be used to create some wondrous things.
Tonight, it fostered an idea that resulted in the creation of a tool — that can allow people to find the closest vaccine clinic to them by sending out a simple text. #covidontario

2/7 Earlier, I RT'd @JProskowGlobal, who highlighted a vaccine-clinic search tool only available in the US.
The concept is simple: you text your postal code to a number and it replies with vaccine clinics nearby.
Yet, Canada doesn't have this tool.

Without missing a beat, @ZainManji replied — offering to build one for Ontario.
I assumed it would take a few days.
I even asked if he was up for an interview on his new creation as early as Monday, thinking it would probably need more time than that.

Premier Ford’s first press conference in over a week begins.
He starts off by saying he welcomes Ontario’s long-term COVID-19 commission’s final report.
“I will not stand here and try to make excuses and pass the blame.” #onpoli #covidontario

Ford says by the end of today, 40% of all adults in Ontario will have received the first dose of the vaccine. #onpoli
Ford says 90% of average daily cases this week are 'variants of concern."
He blames 'weak borders measures' as to how these variants are coming into the province.
"[B.1.617] didn't swim here, I'll tell you that." #onpoli #covidontario

Great Q by @l_stone: How can you stand there and pat yourselves on the back for this? Highlighting how long it took to launch paid sick leave
McNaughton: were waiting and had hoped it would be included in federal budget, but acted when it wasn’t. #onpoli #covidontario

Minister Bethlenfalvy admits Feds have not yet agreed with Ontario to allow province to double that program.
Yet, the Ontario government just went ahead and announced it today as of it were approved. #onpoli #covidontario

1/7 My sister-in-law, an RN in the GTA looking after COVID-19 patients every day, told me most of her patients are in their 20s and 30s. Most are sent to the ICU within 12 hours of being admitted. In each case, their entire family is sick with COVID, sometimes 8 or 9 people.
2/7 A veteran RN with 3 kids, she wasn't scared during the 1st, or even the 2nd, wave. But now, like her colleagues, she is terrified. Leaders need to listen to their science advisors, not lobbyists. Decisions need to be made according to public health, not political ambitions.
3/7 This pandemic is inequitable. Some can stay home, but those who are unhoused, elderly, lower income, or those considered “essential” workers are dying. Many of them take public transit on their way to their workplaces in factories, grocery stores, hospitals, and LTC homes.
Some steps taken today toward stronger action in Ontario.
Still needed:
1. Paid sick leave and financial support for those who have lost income as well as enforcement of stay at home measures
