There's just a month to go until the A2J conference of the year - the first national research conference on access to justice and data in the justice system. This is a great opportunity to learn, network, and collaborate. Let's get Canadian A2J research moving! linkedin.com/posts/action-co…

Our kids deserve safe places to learn. Too many schools across Ontario are badly in need of repair. This heatwave we are in reminds us of how many schools still don’t have air conditioning. It’s hard to learn when there is no relief from extreme heat. @fordnation?
Ontario heat wave hitting schools with no A/C as summer break nears — here’s what to expect as temperatures soar. Across the province, it’s supposed to get as hot as 35 or 36 C in most areas Monday and Tuesday, with humidity boosting that to the low 40s. trib.al/aNQuFj0

Is it a coincidence that this unnecessary #onpoli election has been called at a time when icy streets and short days make canvassing much harder?? Punish the arrogance, vote @jfcampbellTO and @BonnieCrombie !

Jerry-rigged? Saying that the new federal riding boundaries were chosen quickly or carelessly is completely contrary to the process followed by the independent commissions in each province. This kind of Trump-like remark from Premier Ford erodes trust in government, and hurts its ability to organize us to tackle the crises we face. If he meant 'gerrymandered', that's even worse. #onpoli
NEW: Premier Doug Ford says "no" his government won't realign the provincial riding boundaries to match the federal changes. "Why change something that works," the premier says of Ontario's 124 ridings. He claims the changes made by the feds were "gerryrigged." #onpoli

I understand and support the message that we must be more welcoming. But is it really accurate or helpful to state that “Torontonians… don’t welcome her hijab?” On a poster with the City of Toronto official logo?

I am frustrated by Premier Ford's comment about OSC's location. Cultural investments must be shared across our city, not just concentrated downtown. Keeping the OSC at an easily accessible location is a vital part of building a healthy and livable city. #TOpoli

Replying to @JoshMatlow
Collecting signatures, postering, organizing rallies & always advocating- then waiting for hours at city hall to speak. It’s a team approach, but we have no greater champions fighting to save the Science Centre than Jason Ash, Floyd Ruskin & Elsa Lam. They deserve our gratitude.

So the Ford government is raising speed limits on 400-series highways : news.ontario.ca/en/release/1… But speed kills! Driving 10 kph faster doubles risk of crashing, and dying: tirf.ca/blog/is-faster-reall… Whether it's alcohol, gambling, or speeding, they just don't care about victims.
