On April 25th members of CJD attended the province-wide protests against Doug Ford at Queen’s Park, Whitby, and Pickering! 📢

Despite the rainy conditions lots of folks showed up to protest Doug Ford and his government’s many terrible plans such as the OSAP cuts, Bill 5, the changes to the Freedom of Information Act… the list (unfortunately) goes on and on 😡

The next province-wide protests are happening on Saturday, May 30th in Toronto at Queen’s Park at 11am, in Whitby at MPP Lorne Coe’s office at 12pm, in Pickering at MPP Peter Bethlenfalvy’s office at 11am‼️
