Waiting 5 months for care is unacceptable! I needed to simply talk to someone and get a cortisone shot for pain so b4 I could pay out of pocket for physiotherapy. NOTHING just waiting! #stopbreakinghealthcare #UHN @fordnation @UHN @chrisglover

[Kim Johnston @Kymmj02]

Ontario healthcare is a joke! @fordnation privatization is not the fucking answer! Fund it properly and the budget you tabled doesn’t do nearly enough.
I need help! I need to stop waiting for care. 5 months since a referral is much too long. @chrisglover #ONhealthcare

[Kim Johnston @Kymmj02]

Referred to @UHN for some help with bursitis, frozen shoulder and a tear. 5 MONTHS waiting! NOTHING! Excruciating pain. Still in pain! @fordnation this is the healthcare you created WTG @MarkJCarney universal healthcare? @chrisglover help!

[Kim Johnston @Kymmj02]

@MarkJCarney can you please stop @ABDanielleSmith & @fordnation from privatizing healthcare. They’re chipping it away in AB & ON — soon it’ll be gone if they have their way.

I genuinely cannot understand how generation above me ended up here. We grew up idolising David Bowie and through him discovered Lou Reed and Iggy Pop. We lived through punk and post punk smashing gender norms in public. We watched Prince blur masculinity and desire. We danced to Boy George. We worshipped Grace Jones. Then came the flamboyance of the eighties where androgyny excess and self invention were celebrated. Gender bending was not a threat. It was art. It was freedom. It was cool.

So how did the same generation become so hostile to people simply existing outside rigid boxes. How did we go from celebrating difference to fearing it. This backlash does not come from culture or history. It comes from forgetting who we were and what we stood for. None of this is new. Get over it.

@jamiljivani What a weird way to put this dude! Stop trying to divide Canadians and start working together with other parties to keep things moving. Did you not learn how to play nice in the sandbox? Did your daddy not teach you better. #stoptryingtodivideus

[Kim Johnston @Kymmj02]

@PierrePoilievre Srsly? This budget IS a conservative one only put forward by the Liberal party. I’m curious what YOU would have done differently. Why are you trying to divide Canadians? Why are you not working to make things better? Why so angry all the time? Why not play nice?

Most people don’t want to take your wealth. They just want to see it used for good. I don’t want anything from you. I want to see you become the person I truly believe you can be. I think you’ve simply gotten lost along the way.

Choosing empathy won’t make you poorer — it will make you richer, both personally and financially. People support those who support them. They want to buy from someone helping the world, work for someone who values them, and cheer for someone who not only innovates, but cares.
