A heat index of 158°F (70°C) was recorded in southern Iran today.
Even the healthiest and youngest individuals could not survive this heat for more than 6 hours.
Pierre Poilievre supported a group of hooligans who blocked our boarders, occupied our capital city, cost our economy billions, planned to kill RCMP, terrorized Ottawa citizens & wanted to overthrow our democratic elected government and he called Trudeau a traitor? C'MON CANADA
So...Ontario's population is growing & aging quickly. We're going to be short 33,000 nurses & PSWs. And patients are facing record high wait times in ERs right now…but our government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion?
How does this make any sense?
BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.
They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.
Don't let them fool you.
Pierre Poilievre continues to spread hate & division in his little pep rallies. Keep the base angry. Blame Trudeau for everything. Control the media. If they say anything bad about him, he attacks. Diagolon,mgtow, Bitcoin, freedumb Convoy. All reasons he should have resigned.

Your #Ontario tax dollars at work. 🙄 #OnPoli
Moderna wants to charge $130 for its Covid vaccine in 2023. It costs $3 to produce. And its development was funded almost entirely by the public.
A reminder that in 1923, Drs. Banting and Best sold their patent for insulin to the University of Toronto for $1 dollar.
We need investment and leadership to fix health care.
Ford’s plan will mean you’ll pay extra fees for care while more health care workers are driven out of the public system.
On behalf of every Ontarian, I will fight to protect publicly funded, publicly delivered health care.
College of physicians & surgeons, which has oversight of private clinics: “We shared that this wasn’t the solution to the health-care crisis & would further tax health human resources shortages & further increase wait times for more urgent hospital-based care.” Advice ignored.
Serious question: When our public healthcare system is collapsing from causes like understaffing…why is the Ontario government expanding private for-profit health care, when this will pull health workers away from the public system...and make understaffing even worse?
Mayor John Tory’s announcement to add even more tax dollars to the $1.1 billion police budget is wrong. Evidence overwhelmingly shows that the most effective way to prevent crime is to meaningfully invest in proactive approaches, and toward resilient communities with…
