| 1637772693863903233 | Week 120 of reminding @GovNL that long term mental healthcare needs to be more accessible. https://t.co/YxJY020inL | 51 |
| 1638951250535260179 | The @NLTeachersAssoc fears @GovNL is ignoring the fact that many schools are in triage mode. President @TrentLangdonNL says #NLBudget23 was an opportunity to do something & show parents, students & educators that this government knows the importance of properly funded education. https://t.co/kfjkYV6pQy | 16 |
| 1639029280435838978 | With the 2023-2024 budget, @GovNL is not just continuing to defund higher education in the province; it is accelerating the pace. The red bar in the plot shows the accumulated cuts to @MemorialU's operating grant since 2014, taking into account today's provincial budget.@PeterCBC https://t.co/5YrblJsUW2 | 15 |
| 1638966292597309440 | This is 2 years of @MetrobusTransit funding: double what they have now. This would allow 15 minute headways on all the routes. @TI_GovNL @GovNL spending 1.5G$ on roads and 0$ on transit/rail/active-mobility is a direct threat against climate action. #nlpoli #ClimateEmergency https://t.co/ElLciMuN1m | 9 |
| 1638724623696113665 | Time to get real about the problems w NL Mental Health Svcs Bottom line: programs& apps don’t treat mental illness, qualified professionals treat mental illness. START THERE @GOVNL Anyone who says you can’t hire your way out of this crisis is selling you something...like an app https://t.co/IGc5toy1Ov | 8 |

| 1636043382463303683 | $10-a-day Child Care Now a Reality for Families in Newfoundland and Labrador. This is not true... @GovNL If you work shift work, weekends or live in rural Canada, $10 childcare is not available to you. It's only available in cities if you work 9-5. https://t.co/aaAoAR4TEQ | 7 |
| 1638955100239437830 | Bizarre that investing education has benefits in each of the macro areas the budget defines, but @govnl continues to de invest in @MemorialU https://t.co/B3SqaUFy23 | 6 |
| 1636873338315235329 | @Darthcat3 @kerriclaireneil @MemorialU @CBCNL @NTVNewsNL @GovNL Don’t forget the @RNC_PoliceNL make sure your members along with @RCMPNL know that this vile person owns and operates @DowntownComics1 and your members are clearly not welcomed! | 5 |
| 1638965628022190094 | Maybe this is why @GovNL is systematically killing post-secondary education. So there are no educated people to challenge them on policies like this that are completely contrary to scientific evidence. Once again pushing the "we're more gentle when we rape the earth" mantra. https://t.co/lM0MKwVLPJ | 5 |

| 1636462722379292711 | I don't think our Provincial Government is doing enough to promote LOCAL produce sold in our supermarkets. The stores have signage up, but an ad campaign would only help more. Carrot, cabbage, turnip and parsnip for $6. #nlpoli @GovNL @FFA_GovNL https://t.co/Fkk2W5NFbH | 32 |

| 1638986433087131651 | What the hell is wrong with @GovNL? The #NLBudget23 cut $10.6 million from @MemorialU while claiming to invest in healthcare, infrastructure, and elementary school education. These sectors require university-level training. MUNL can provide it. | 25 |
| 1639039050098298880 | We are disappointed to see no new RCMP funding in the @GovNL 2023 Budget today @SiobhanCoadyNL @johnjhogan. Our thoughts about much-needed supports for our Members below. #GovNL #nlpoli https://t.co/EMM6dmcRpN | 25 |
