    Given Elon Musk's attacks on democracy in the US and abroad and his support of an administration that is trying to destroy the Canadian economy, I will no longer be using Twitter. Come and find me on Bluesky or Facebook. @chandrapasma.bsky.social

    The math is simple: 6.8% is significantly less than 17.3%. The Ford government is critically underfunding education across this province and our kids are paying the price. #onpoli #OntEd

    The lowest paid education workers have given strike notice b/c they can't afford to keep using food banks. So I've got a message for @Sflecce: Come to the table on Tuesday with a reasonable deal that saves our kids' school year & pays these workers a decent wage. #onted #onpoli

    Today I am tabling the Improving Air Quality for Our Children Act, 2023. If adopted, this bill will help improve air quality in our classrooms and licensed childcare facilities. I hope that folks from all sides can stand behind this important issue for our kids #onted

    As Doug Ford expands private clinics in Ontario, patients will pay more out of pocket, the public system will lose workers, making wait times even longer...and a few lobbyists and PC donors will rake in the big bucks. Doug Ford's not on your side. #onpoli

    I invite @fordnation to get off his A-S-S, come to Ottawa, & meet with my constituents who are working 2 jobs to pay for rent, who are at risk of needing to work 3 if their shitty landlord succeeds in renovicting them, & who are using foodbanks despite working full-time.

    Premier Doug Ford speaking in Cobourg asked about the waitlist for affordable housing: "if you're healthy, get off your A-S-S and start working like everyone else is" #onpoli

    This government is disrupting our kids' education by not coming to the table and negotiating. You don't avert a strike by refusing to negotiate, you stop a strike by bargaining an agreement. #onted #onpoli #39kIsNotEnough @CUPEOntario #onlab

    The occupiers harassed school children and their parents. They trapped people with disabilities in their homes. They took food from a homeless shelter. Why won't the premier come and give Ottawa the answers it deserves. What have you got to hide @fordnation? #onpoli

    A massive 71% of Ontarians believe the government is taking the wrong approach and should get back to the negotiating table. The people are making their voices clear about what must be done. Can you hear them @fordnation? Get back to the table. #onted

    With Bill 98, @Sflecce pins the blame on school boards for outcomes caused by his underfunding. But some of Ontario's provincial schools, which his ministry is directly responsible for, can't even use parts of their own facilities because they are in urgent need of repair. #onted

    Yesterday, I asked Minister Lecce for the fifth time what the school repair backlog is in Ontario. He still would not answer. Parents deserve to know why their kids are in crumbling schools. #onted #onpoli

    My team and I are mourning the loss of Liam Coward, my Legislative Assistant, who passed away suddenly on Saturday. Liam was bright, kind, principled, compassionate, and funny. You could hear his laugh all the way down the hallway.

    The minister wanted this, the minister is getting this, and thanks to the minister, my kids and many of your kids will be home tomorrow. Take responsibility and actually do your job @Sflecce. Get back to the negotiating table. #onted #onpoli
