Working in Brampton in the third wave of the pandemic is something I'll never forget. Everyone I saw was someone who was precariously employed, working in an essential job. - @AmitAryaMD
We're seeing the downstream impacts of public health policy failures in our emergency rooms.
Ontarians desperately need direct financial relief. Small business owners, people who have lost incomes, and people who are concerned about covid recovery need to be included in the plan. Will we see investments, or more cuts? Watch the full speech here: ola.org/en/legislative…
Will there be any support offered for people experiencing #homelessness in #Toronto? How about for #college and #university students who are concerned about their job prospects coming during and after school? #onpoli #onpse #topoli
February 29 (the rarest day) is #RareDiseaseDay and this matters a great deal. It matters to me and my family, but also to millions of others who have stories similar to ours. If you follow me on @Twitter, you probably know some of my story.
I don’t want to bore you by telling it again, but I do want to talk a bit about what I’ve learned since my #diagnosis and since becoming a #RareDisease #advocate.
The first thing I learned was that even though it was a relief to have a diagnosis...(i.e. some sort of validation that there was a reason I didn’t feel well my whole life), it was really really hard to come to terms with having this new label.
On Burns Night, my boyfriend and I had a really shit #homophobic incident in #Glasgow's southside. We were holding hands, and a guy walked passed us and called us a "pair of bent bastards". I challenged him, he repeated the phrase, I called 999.
For the next 26 mins, I stayed on th phone w/@policescotland, my boyfriend filmed and th man continued to call us "bent bastards" "bent cunts" "fucking poofs" "pair of poofs", "it's not fucking right two men sleeping together" (limited but effective lexicon: he did not like gays)
He hated me. He told me that. He snarled at me, told me that I was against the law, that I was fucking disgusting, for the best part of 30mins. This man saw me as one thing he despised; not as a brother, or a son, or grandson, or a friend, or whatever.
