No business case, no plan, and a sham consultation. It’s time to shut down Ford’s waterfront scheme.

A province where ER rooms have wait times in excess of 24 hours, OSAP loans to college students been slashed and transferred to shady private career colleges, where teachers being laid off, schools being closed, where wait times for long term care homes is a decade long, our premier is building a Garage Mahal worth $198 Million for a private company (which was bankrupt) whose 99 year lease is secret.

Welcome to the Canada's conservative model of governance.

This piece is hyperbolic, devoid of connection to healthcare in Canada. 16 million attend the ER/year where we don't do MAID. That alone contradicts the "life is cheap" suggestion, as almost all of healthcare is to preserve life and limb. 👇👇👇

We dedicate great expense and effort so that life is not "cheap".

Let's for sure critique MAID, but let's keep it linked to reality.

The statement MAID is evolving into "an on-demand service for nearly anyone experiencing illness" is journalistic recklessness and bizarre for those Canadians that actually attend to real patients in real hospitals and real clinics.

The cheapening of this discourse happens when it's suggested the 3 million people with hearing loss in Canada are opting or thinking about MAID when one man with hearing loss (and mental illness) received MAID. I do find it highly questionable a mentally ill man with hearing problems received MAID, and the House of Commons testimony in this case lacks hundreds of relevent data points to conclude what really happened and why.

To say "this country has become a place where death has become the solution to suffering" is shameful and untruthful. I haven't seen this suggestion in clinical reality. What I have seen is thousands of real patients with serious and disabling illness fight, and fight, and fight on to live - supported by a legion of nurses, doctors and other health professionals. It's not true Canada just kills people who have an illness or suffering.

Critique MAID, but keep it honest and linked to reality. @RobynUrback

We should have been going to the polls a week ago.
Now you know why Ford changed the laws on fixed date elections. When a law doesn’t work for him he changes it.
This is who he is, who he has been - no “aw shucks, I made a mistake” is going to fix our province

This week, Bill C-16 passed. But there were 40 MP’s that voted no. Every single one of them are Conservative MP’s. Including Durham MP Jamil Jivani.

The bill includes measures to strengthen protections for women and children, including recognizing femicide as first-degree murder in certain circumstances, creating a coercive control offence, and increasing penalties for child predators.

Yet 40 Conservative MPs voted NO.

Can someone explain why?

Conservatives routinely criticize crime, “catch and release” justice, and weak penalties for offenders. So why vote against legislation that strengthens protections for victims, women, and children?

I’m especially interested in hearing from Jamil Jivani, who is currently touring the country speaking about men’s health and well-being. Protecting women from violence and protecting children from predators should be something all parties can support.

The bill passed. But constituents deserve to know why their MP voted against it.

New: Police are investigating ~something~ or ~someone~ connected to Ontario’s Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility, @Thetrilliumca has learned — potentially sparked by an internal audit into that entity.

That's all we know, because the government is refusing to disclose any details.

Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”

I wish ER patients languishing in hallways and chairs had more lobbyists at Queen's Park than the largest bank in the United States with $4 trillion in assets.

I’ve learned that the $750 Classroom Resource Fund will include teaching supplies like copy paper.

This is an effective cut to classroom funding, and requires teachers to take on a role they should not be expected to play.

A middle finger from the MoE in advance of bargaining.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

The Ford government's $750 classroom gift card gimmick was insulting and admits that our schools are underfunded.

Asking teachers to buy classroom supplies is like asking nurses to shop for medical supplies before work because the hospital can't provide them.

Now we learn that $300 of the promised $750 isn't even new funding - it's being taken from existing education dollars. That's not an investment in public education. It's a shell game.

Ontario students and educators deserve properly funded classrooms, not government announcements that sound bigger than they really are. #onpoli #onted

@ValAssenza @robertbenzie Ontarians didn't get off their asses to vote. Lowest voter turnout (19%) in the last provincial election. He played on everyone's fatigue knowing he would "win" a majority.

He needs to be pinkslipped, but Ontarians are too complacent to bullshit.

Doug Ford is taking an extended summer break while Ontario heads into education contract negotiations. Instead of addressing the issues that have been building for years. He’s avoiding having to deal with the backlash.

Ontario’s public education system is being starved to death. Class sizes are too large. Supports for students are inadequate. Schools are being asked to do more with less, year after year. Teachers, Educational Assistants, and education workers are expected to carry the load while resources continue to fall behind the needs of students.

If educators end up in a strike position this fall, nobody should be surprised. These problems didn’t appear overnight, and they haven’t been addressed by the Ford government or Education Minister Paul Calandra.

We saw what happened the last time education workers were pushed into a corner. Educators, parents, unions, and communities across Canada stood together in support of public education and fair bargaining rights.

It’s time for that solidarity again. Teachers’ unions and education unions across Canada need to stand shoulder to shoulder with their brothers and sisters in Ontario. What happens in Ontario won’t stay in Ontario. Public education is under pressure in every Conservative Province in Canada.

This isn’t just about contracts. It’s about the future of our children and grandchildren. A strong public education system is the foundation of a strong society, and right now that foundation is being weakened.

It’s time for Ontarians to get loud. It’s time for parents, grandparents, educators, education workers, and communities to demand better.

Our kids deserve better. Public education deserves better.
