The number one hardest working tree in Toronto begins, as ever, the 2019 edition of #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto. This tree returns each year, tho Cumberland Terrace's days are numbered. As long as this tree stands, Toronto will prevail. Long live this noble tree. 14/10
Dufferin Mall Swiss Chalet tree. The Festive Special of trees. Negotiates a fraught landscape of public washroom politics. A casual tree, more quarter chicken than half, the exposed power bar suggests a deconstructionist ethos. Honest tree in a difficult, if fowl, position. 11/10
In honour of the 💸 it cost to get this phone running again, here’s the spendthrift Yorkville Village tree. Real tree, large girth, yet austere decoration. A vain attempt to remain humble despite obvious wealth? A tree for our times. 12/10 #EveryCorporateChristmasTreeInToronto

*Thread* Was at a husting today AND when I highlighted the actual #waitinglist statistics for access to #healthcare #consultants and lack of #frontlinestaff #nurses & #GPs a sitting MEP & member of one our main political parties aimed to DISMISS the data... 1/
The data I presented was not compiled by me but by many prestigious organisations who represent #nurses #doctors #midwives #consultants #pharmacists #paramedics #carers #physios #OTs (tag anyone you wish here) 2/
The response I (and the audience got) was along the lines of “with technology data can be wrong” and “people don’t turn up to appointments”. I had no hestitation in finding an example and explained just how bloody difficult it can be for the #elderly to attend clinics... 3/
