I just called @fordnation's office at 416-325-1941. After a 5 minute wait in the queue, a lovely woman named Cheryl answered my call.
I suggested she add my call "to the pile of calls" I assume they are receiving on this.
/1
I told her I was calling to plead with our Premier to step in & end the occupation of Ottawa immediately.
I told her that residents are sick & tired of the disruption to our city & we are gravely disappointed in the lack of response from our municipal and provincial gov't.
/2
She offered to relay this to the Premier. I asked if she speaks directly to him, or his people.
She explained that she is a civil servant and he is a politician and there is a clear delineation btw the 2.
She told me that she works for me and the residents of Ontario.

Feeling the need to post a thread 🧵. Here goes: 4 hours ago, I dropped off my 3 daughters at school for the 1st time since mid-December. I fucking broke down watching them in their poorly fitting adult KN95 masks walk into the school yard. /1
They were greeted at the gate by staff wearing blue surgical masks. I was tempted to approach the staff and ask where their Ministry-supplied masks were, but I was bawling my eyes out at this point. I returned to my car and loudly ugly-cried. /2
I feel like I am putting my kids in harm’s way by bringing them to school. I feel like having them home isn’t an option. We, as parents, have no choice, and our gov’t that provides education and health care has failed us & our kids by forcing them back into unsafe schools. /3
