‼️ ICYMI: Yesterday, our province took an important step forward by allowing the use of Indigenous languages in the Ontario Legislature. Thanks to the tireless advocacy and work of our Deputy Leader, MPP Sol Mamakwa, this change honours the language, culture and history of Indigenous peoples in Ontario. It also directly confronts the colonial injustices faced by communities like Kiiwetinoong. It's a move from a history and present of silence to a future of strength and voice. As New Democrats, we are committed to continuing our responsibility to reconciliation, not just with our words but with our actions. And not just in the legislature, but everywhere our influence can help build a better future, a better province, and a better life for everyone.

What an appalling display of civic values. Free parking over affordable housing. Shame on each of you @TedMcMeekin @MarkTadeson @BCouncillor @jeffbeattie2014 @PaulsEsther @mspadafora2022 Matt Francis Tom Jackson #HamOnt
