We need universal, public pharmacare to help us recover from the #COVID19 crisis. No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and buying their medication. Read the joint statement signed by 185 organizations: healthcoalition.ca/pharmacar… #cdnpoli #CDNhealth

Without access to medical supplies, PPE, and access to clean water, First Nation communities do not have what they need to fight a COVID-19 outbreak. Add your name to demand emergency help now: ontariondp.ca/emergency-help… #onpoli #ondp #NDP

I think everyone has become more aware and appreciative of the amazing work our PSWs do.... The best way to thank PSWS & show them appreciation would be to provide: ➡️better wages ➡️needed PPE ➡️and to call a full, public inquiry on Long Term Care #PSWDay #Onpoli

May 19 is Personal Support Worker (PSW) Day. Thank you to the PSWs across Ontario working in long term care homes and in home and community care for all of your efforts to care for those who need support every day and during COVID-19. We appreciate you!

The pandemic has resulted in hardship, anxiety and grief. However, during this time my wife was able to develop her online art store, a labour of love and a creative achievement. Holding on to the positive and being grateful. #proudhusband #creativity vanessapejovic.ca

Minister decides to make a pithy point about “direct” live learning by tweeting out a photo of his meeting w elementary students....But doesn’t block out their names. It’s a novice mistake.... 👉And it’s why you should listen to the professionals (teachers). Now apologize. – at Toronto, Ontario

This is Banksy's latest. He posted it outside a hospital in the UK. Then, uncharacteristically, he added a personal note: “Thanks for all you’re doing. I hope this brightens the place up a bit, even if it’s only black and white"

Windows let you see in & see out. Drawing or painting a view through a window creates an interesting perspective or story within a story! What do you see in/out your window? How can you capture that view?What’s around the view in the window?#activityoftheday #shareyourart @HWDSB

Sometimes you don't really know the burden you're bearing until you feel the presence of silence, and then it all falls apart. Be good to each other. We're all going to need significant amounts of empathy and kindness to make it through this.
