CUPE members in Ontario, your fight is our fight! Unions across Canada supported us in our battle to protect Charter rights and now we are here for you. Our Rep Assembly just voted to send you $1million so you don’t have to back down. @CUPEOntario @osbcucscso #onted #cdnpoli

Hey Twitter employees getting laid off tomorrow! IMPORTANT INFO from a CA employment attorney (me): CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff. A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies. I know you didn't get that notice.

Avg. rent in the city is 2500/month, which is 30K/year. Avg. CUPE Ed worker salary is 39K/year. Remember who to be mad at if schools are closed due to a strike: blame falls squarely on the man denying early childhood educators and custodians the right to basic decent living.

In a place where we have to battle for the rights of Indigenous peoples, MPs let the truth be heard and unanimously passed a motion recognizing what happened at residential schools as a genocide. This is historic. To survivors and descendants, I honour you today and every day.

Yesterday in Parliament, NDP foreign affairs critic @HMcPhersonMP called out the refusal of some MPs to talk about human rights in Yemen and Palestine. “Children in Palestine are being murdered, and neither of the parties will talk about that.” #cdnpoli

I think we did it! I will be a Trustee for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. Thanks for your support. It will be an honour to work with amazing colleagues, children, youth, families, educators. I’m ready for this journey with #Ottawa. There’s a lot to be done. Let’s go!
Me, my husband, and our daughter on election night
