The true motives of @fordnation and the @OntarioPCParty are uncovered…again. Unbelievable and unacceptable that public funds are being used to pay for private heath care at the expense of publicly funded health care.

CBC: Premier Doug Ford's government gives a for-profit clinic more funding to perform certain OHIP-covered surgeries than it gives Ontario's public hospitals to perform the same operations, CBC News has learned.

The math is simple: 6.8% is significantly less than 17.3%. The Ford government is critically underfunding education across this province and our kids are paying the price.

So you voted for Ford because you wanted a balanced budget? You got 4.6 Bill deficit. Or, because you wanted less scandal? You got the #GreenbeltScandal et al. Or because you couldn't afford life? You're poorer than ever? Time for a change #Ontario

Do you remember where you were on November 4th, 2022? @osbcucscso @CUPEOntario
I know @cupe997 members do!

[OSBCU-CSCSO @osbcucscso]

November 4, 2022 was a day that will go down in the history books. Following Doug Ford’a anti-worker Bill, which used the notwithstanding clause, CUPE OSBCU Education Workers took the brave step and walked off the job in an illegal strike! #WorkerPowerGetsTheGoods

Priorities, amirite? Can also think of an emergency room in Minden that needs $650 million more than a private spa company at Ontario Place does. While Ford pampers spa users, our school kids fend for themselves https://t.co/9cvCbLHEbu #topoli #onpoli #onted

For their courage and determination, and for their incredible reminder that we are stronger together—congratulations to the Education Workers of Ontario for receiving the 2023 Jack Layton Award. #Broadbent2023

.@maritstiles for premier. Ontario needs to kick @fordnation to the curb. Just hope there is something left worth saving in 2026

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

While Doug Ford & the Conservatives fight in court to keep nurses wages frozen, more & more are leaving. That means nurses are even more overwhelmed then before.

I'm calling on the government to start respecting nurses. Pay them a decent wage. #onpoli https://t.co/TYGoE1Fx82

More than 1,000 principals across Ontario say they're seeing more behavioural issues, lack of self-regulation, and unaddressed mental health challenges with no access to social workers and psychologists, a survey finds. https://t.co/nNctM2QXum
