Pls RT this and pls, call to make your voice heard.

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.
/3
She explained the process:
- call takers note and relay each call to the Premier's people.
- call takers do not get feedback from the Premier's office in the form of a response to callers.
- they are getting lots of calls of this nature and handling each one this way.
/4
I told her that I understand a convoy may be immobilizing to form at Queen's Park this weekend based on information I have read online. She shared my understanding of this.

I told her I hope Torontonians do not experience even 10% of the disruption that we in Ottawa have had.
/5
I asked her to note that Ottawa is currently a "powder keg" and it is a matter of time before Ottawa residents take matters into their own hands and take our city back. I specifically asked her to note those words as I said them.
/6
I also told her that I, & many Ontario residents that I know, have very firmly marked June 2 on our calendars & that we will not forget our Premier's lack of response to this. She laughed with me, not at me.

She thanked me for my call & repeated that she'll relay my comments.
/7
I encourage all Ontario residents to do as I did. The call, start to finish, took 12 minutes of my time. This thread took longer to type.

Dear City of Ottawa residents, I'd just like to point out some things to you:
- We're going to have a municipal election to elect a new mayor and City Councillors on Monday, October 24, 2022.
- Current mayor, @JimWatsonOttawa will not be running for mayor.
/1
- Current long-serving Ward 10 City Councillor, @dianedeans has announced her candidacy as mayor.
- Ms. Deans is currently the chair of the Ottawa Police Services Board ottawapoliceboard.ca/opsb-cspo/abou… /2
- The Ottawa Police Services Board (OPSB) and the @OttawaPolice have done nothing for Ottawa residents to end the occupation of Ottawa by the #klutruxklan.
- Ward 22 City Councillor Carol-Anne Meehan also sits on the Police Services Board. /3

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
