Yes! And let's not forget, these $$$ they are wasting on for-profit clinics, are $$ that regular people have contributed. It's YOUR money they are giving away, Ontario! Meanwhile hospital operating rooms collect dust....

You deserve so much better than this.

@ozriclentils @maxfawcett @putzeh Or - wild idea - stop financializing the places where people need to live 🤷

Today is #WorldTBDay. Around a billion people have died of tuberculosis since 1800. At the current rate of decline, we can expect another 100 million to die of TB in the next century. Each of those deaths would be needless.
It all reminds me of a different date: October 24th.

Ideally this is something the province should take on but starting at the city level would be great.

Engines have never been more efficient yet we burn more gas than ever.

[Federal Highway Admn @USDOTFHWA]

U.S. fuel consumption reaches new high. Nearly 147 billion gallons of gasoline were consumed in 2018, making it the seventh straight year of fuel consumption.

@lalbertain I do but I also bike a lot

[Peter MacDonald @EpicPedro]

@MarnaNightingal I think that is the best solution

@Alex_S_Cullen @mirgray Hey now, never said I liked it, just that is the way it is supposed to work.
P3s may be good for some things (single buildings usually) and they are bad for others (things like transit systems, as we can clearly see)
The why is more complicated - 1970s oil crisis is my best bet.

@mirgray @Alex_S_Cullen True, the open question is; how much and which costs that OC have incurred are eligible for deductions from RTG's payments? Would the Red vest contract extension would be one of those costs? Still unknown.
