PSA: We're sorry for our relative silence over the past year. In a cruel twist of fate, our producer (me) was diagnosed with cancer and has found it hard to manage our social media. The good news is, the film is still finding its way into classrooms and living rooms! Stay tuned.

Just thinking about the audacity of @Sflecce "insisting" educators provide "extra"-curricular activities as part of the same Ford government that passed legislation mandating allowing employees to disconnect from work after hours. #onted

Peterborough, Ont., was home to a General Electric plant for over a century. The plant was the lifeblood of the community + took workers in like family. But over time, employees and their families noticed more GE workers dying from cancer. #DayofMourning cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/epi…

It was a pleasure! The students asked profound questions and @townofwidows is a way to talk about why our health and safety is paramount, over profit.

“It took six-and-a-half years for Sara Sharpe to win a workplace cancer claim on behalf of her husband… Shortly after retiring from the [GE Peterborough] plant, he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He died within two weeks. ‘It was never about money,’ she said.”

ON NOW: Listen to these widows - some of whom have been waiting for 30 yrs for @WSIB compensation after their loved ones died. Live with @Wayne_Gates, workplace disease clusters across Canada are demanding the Ford gov't reform the system - not give back "surplus" to employers.
