“The woods are lovely dark and deep/But I have promises to keep/And miles to go before I sleep/In the woods there’s a Covid hollow/With much advice I have to follow/And many pills for me to swallow” With apologies to Robert Frost. #CovidDay4

Is she a traitor or an idiot?

Good morning & Happy Monday to everyone who is going to vote for our public health care system. For public education. For workers rights. For climate justice.
To everyone who is working hard to mobilize the vote to keep the Ontario Conservatives OUT OF POWER.
Thank you. 🙏🏾

A woman’s right to choose is hers alone. These are rights that our mothers & grandmothers fought for— rights that our government will continue to uphold.
However the silence from the Conservatives is deafening. All parties must work together to ensure the protection of women.

BREAKING: Conservative MPs & senators have been ordered not to comment on #abortionrights & #RoeVWade.

Happy 89th, Willie Nelson! I'm not a big fan of country music. Neither is Willie. He, along with artists like Waylon, Johnny Cash, Emmylou, Jerry Jeff, Dolly & others transcend labels. They just make damn good music. Have a favorite Wiilie song? I'll take "On the Road Again."
