Dear @[email protected] ,

How is increasing Toronto police budget by nearly $50 million going to address lack of affordable housing, food insecurity, and lack of mental health services in underfunded neighborhoods? Which people are you truly trying to police? What's your goal?

Going to say this again: Policing addresses crime after it happens, it doesn’t prevent it. If we want to prevent crime AND build more compassionate communities, we need to invest in housing, mental health, education & healthcare.

Invest more in our communities. Not policing.

In 2023, let's do all we can to connect with each other more. Listen to each other more. And empathize with each other more.

Instead of relying on people to be more resilient, let's build a world that is less traumatic.

Happy new year friends. 🙏🏾❤️

Canadian nursing schools should have a textbook dedicated to highlighting the works of @[email protected] and her lifetime commitment to nursing & social justice. Nurses have so much to learn from her.

Thank you Cathy for your 50 years of service. You are a blessing to humanity.

As an emerg doc, I see full waiting rooms every night I'm in the hospital. Legislating 10 permanent #PaidSickDays would allow parents and children enough time to recover properly or get preventive care, rather than waiting in the ER.

Here's a little reminder to:

 Use hashtags to help people find your art, but 1-4 is good, you don't need loads: https://mastodon.art/@Curator/108220154510678618

 Please use alt text on your images. I won't boost anything that doesn't have alt-text, and neither will a lot of other people. It's good for accessibility  :
