“My vote doesn’t matter.” In 2022, 56.5% of Ontarians didn’t vote. Doug Ford won a majority because 18% of Ontarians voted PC. “I don’t know what the issues are.” Talk to people you trust to find out. “It doesn’t matter who wins.” It matters very much to someone you care about. #OnPoli

It’s wanting to abolish Section 504, wanting to cut Medicare, wanting to get rid of DEIA, wanting to stop people working from home. All of this will kill disabled people. When we tell you that pandemics lead to fascism, this is what we mean. When you excuse our deaths, these policies are pushed.

Ontario Election! You can request a home visit to vote, if you are unable to visit an election office or require assistance. Must be requested by Feb 26. Info here: www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in... #ODSP #OnPoli #OntarioElection

In a housing crisis, on the eve of an election, and with 81,515 Ontarians homeless — 12,200 of them in Toronto — cancelling 5,000 affordable homes is inconceivable. Ford will never change course from making us homeless, disabled, impoverished, sick, and dead. Vote! www.thestar.com/news/gta/5-0...

Our biggest enemy in this Ontario Election is voter apathy. Please talk to your friends/family about why their vote matters. I really don’t want to see the worst election turnout of all time this election! #topoli #onpoli

This is important: A prospective Ford government has signalled its intention to expand prisons and put homeless people in jail rather than build the housing that people need and that is their fundamental right. I don't want a province that makes people homeless then throws them in prison.

Feb 27, 2025! Vote like your Healthcare, Housing and Education are on the line (they are!) Check out smartvoting.ca and votewell.ca if you want to vote strategically. You can still vote early at any local official Elections office every day before then. #OntarioVotes #OnPoli #OntarioElection

The measles outbreak in Texas is the worst in thirty years, and it’s a DIRECT result of declining vaccine rates thanks to RFK Jr. Disinformation is eroding public health. In 2023, measles cases were 20% higher than in 2022. In 2022 they were 18% higher than in 2021. See the pattern? 1/

NDP Candidate stepping down to avoid vote splitting. If this were to happen in many more ridings, Ford would be gone for good. #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli

Remember that a mask does more than protect against covid. A well fitted respirator will also keep you safe from flu, measles, TB and other airborne viruses. It will keep those around you safe if you’re sick. It’s an easy way to demonstrate community care and solidarity.

$3 billion divided into $200 increments does so little. That $3B could have gotten Northern Ontario access to Doctors, improved air quality in schools, increased ODSP, improved mental health resources... instead it's a tiny bribe right before an election. What a waste. #DougFord

Public health is in tatters in the United States. Covid mitigation is in tatters around the world. H5N1 is spreading rapidly & the U.S. are dealing with tuberculosis & measles outbreaks. You are not powerless. Things are bad… but a respirator can prevent ALL airborne diseases

respirators work against all BSL3 viruses, which include TB, anthrax and…wait for it… covid

I see many folks heading back to their LA homes prematurely, risking permanent disability due to toxic air & water. Then I think of the disabled people who didn’t even make it out. Who lost their lives because we aren’t prioritized in evacuation scenarios. We are the canaries. Listen to us:

The FDA ban of red 3 has nothing to do with actual health risks & everything to do with public outrage & lobbyist money. Adverse effects in rats occurred when rats ate 4% of their body weight for months. That’s equal to a person weighing 150 lbs eating 102 GRAMS of red 3 EVERY DAY, for months. 1/

I feel like a lot of people are going to focus on "over 65 with underlying health conditions" and not so much 'a human being has died of H5N1, a contagious disease carried by commercial chickens, wild birds, & backyard poultry.'

Reminder: High quality masks/respirators such as N95s protect against all airborne viruses including bird flu.

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE #ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION. REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription. In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!
