Staples is already looking to monetize Service Ontario, seemingly the main priority of the kiosks. Not to provide the public service they exist for. Doug Ford is taking public services and giving them to American businesses with the goal of driving profits. #DougFordIsCorrupt

A sole-source contract for Staples. Why? This should have been put out for tender. Attn @OntarioAuditor

Calls are growing for the Ontario government to recall the legislature and deal with rising emergency room wait times.

Had the chance to speak on @ctvnews about the epidemic of burnout among health care workers. It is not surprising at all that this is happening. We all want to work hard to save lives, but hopeless work in a collapsing system is what leads to burnout.

Let me try to illustrate some of the challenges we face.

Recently I arrived to my evening shift; I saw 18 ambulances outside, with patients waiting to be offloaded into a department with few free beds. Our 'Infinity Hallway' is full again with stretchers lined up as far as the eye can see. I get inside, all of our acute resuscitation beds are occupied, our ICU is full, and another ambulance crew is taking a patient to another hospital's ICU. We get an alert from EMS that a person in their 40s has collapsed, is unresponsive, and is five minutes away. Just from that description, this person likely needs a ventilator and an urgent CT scan, but we had no beds.

Immediately we try to find a spot, checking just which other really sick patient we can shuffle somewhere else. Do we move the 50 year old on high flow oxygen for Covid? Or the heart attack patient waiting for the cath lab to free up, and it goes on. The strain of constantly weighing these lives, trying to eke out space from nothing, weighs heavily on all of us.

One exhausted nurse, who helped intubated 5 patients earlier in the day muttered under their breath that they're going to quit after this. I hope she's not serious, she's one of our best. We somehow manage to find space, the crew doing the patient transfer came early, and we used that bed. But what if 2-3 more came at the same time?

Most busy ERs looks like pandemonium to an outsider, but there's method to the madness that usually can process a huge number and variety of patients, treat them and occasionally accomplish miracles. But all of this is impossible if you completely burn out the highly trained staff on the ground.

If we do not have Ontario nursing strong, we do not have Ontario medicine strong. It’s a simple fact. @ontarionurses

@CP24 Don’t forget @philverster also earns an $850k annual salary so it’s best he drags the project on because I’m sure he’ll be fired when it’s done

[Aziz @ItsTheAziz]

@CP24 HOW can you spend $12-13 billion...wait, BILLION, tax payer dollars, and not have an opening date 13 years into the project. This has to be a joke. We need a public inquiry and accountability for this.

[Michael Sherman @Michael31104987]

@CycleToronto Absolutely useless. Zero bikers using these lanes and backed up grid locked traffic. Get rid of this stupidity

[Raghu Venugopal MD @raghu_venugopal]

Agree with @DebraLefebvre - give all nurses free hospital parking. In 22 years of doctoring I have never once had any designated parking but I don’t want it either. The way Ontario treats nurses, give them free parking.
