@RichardJMurphy I like that this cheat sheet notes that profit becomes more important than care. It might be helpful to give an example - the use of for profit children's homes for the most vulnerable children in society. Many of which fail inspections and harm children.

@CityPtbo @alexbierk @lalalalachica @PtboPolice Will there be an opportunity to ask questions at this meeting?

@MTaylorNDP This is appalling neglect of children and families impacted by developmental disabilities. The amount of unpaid labour that families do to fill the gaps in service provision causes stress and financial hardship. We do it out of love ❤️ Children with disabilities are citizens too

@Vote4Tony2022 @MTaylorNDP @MichaelParsa @fordnation Children with autism are failed and when they become adults the failure continues. Lack of affordable housing, long wait lists for adult protective services, lack of daily living supports. Trying to navigate the system is a traumatizing experience.

@NeleHelena Have you heard of Dr. Juan Guzman in Ontario Canada? The Ehlers Danlos society may also have information.

@pippaliciousj @SarahOC_MECFS I was thinking the same thing

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

This is as true today as it was 75 years ago.

RT is you agree Aneurin Bevan, the founder of the NHS, was an absolute legend.

Margaret Thatcher was the WORST Prime Minister EVER.

She forced the UK into 10 years of hyper inflation and huge unemployment, slashed taxes for the rich to nothing and sold off ALL the state assets.

And achieved NOTHING. RT if you agree.

@jenbrea I am so glad that more attention and awareness is being given to a range of issues that are related to EDS such as POTS. Thank you !

[DG @DebraGentle]

@GlennonDoyle My daughter, Evangeline Gentle. She loves your work. She is a musician/singer songwriter in Canada. Covid was hard for her music career. But she keeps going and writes beautiful songs. I am so proud of her for not giving up 💜

@nilikm What are the signs that we should be aware of? I have young grand children who seem to be sick a lot of the time. Much more than I found when raising my own children.

[DG @DebraGentle]

@SarahJama_ @fordnation @ChandraPasma @OntarioNDP @OntAutism Much needed. Thank you.

[DG @DebraGentle]

@Vickyvdtogt Some of these recommendations are known to help for people with Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (EDS). The EDS Society has lots of information about POTS, chronic fatigue and pain.

@BeccaDove2 Brings back memories of a job interview with Scottish LA in 1997. I had to present on how the foster care service could be developed as family support interventions- Children Scotland Act 1995.

@DrProudman Have you read this book? Published in 1999.

[DG @DebraGentle]

@drclairetaylor @surf4children I am glad there is more awareness of POTS. It is common with Ehlers Danlos Syndromes. To learn more I recommend the EDS Society website. May is EDS awareness month.
