News flash: Cutting healthcare off for uninsured people will mean they won't get timely care upstream. Which means they'll get sicker without care. Which means they'll just end up very sick in our ERs.
This decision is more costly. It adds to wait times. And is downright cruel.
@StJamesOCSB staff and students champion the message that "Every Child Matters." We acknowledge the terrible past of residential schools and promise to continue to practise compassion, inclusivity, kindness, and fairness for all.
What a slap in the face of every frontline worker! Goodnight Ontario! May it be well with you as the conservatives finalize healthcare privatization! Nothing left but thoughts and prayers.
No matter what horse you had in this race a 33% voter turnout means Ontario lost tonight. Every teacher, student, essential & front line worker lost tonight. Democracy lost tonight. Acountability & leadership lost tonight. Caring lost tonight.
My definition of freedom includes well funded world-class universal social programs to cover needs common to all Canadians.
There is no sense of freedom in poverty, poor health, or poor education.
Conservatives see these as costs, I see them as investments in Canada’s future.
Universal healthcare, including access to dental care, prescription medications & other essential resources should be determined by need, not means $. This is awesome. #AllHealthMatters#HealthIsWealth 🇨🇦
So I have hesitated to post this. Last weekend, the child of a friend of mine committed suicide. The child lived in downtown Ottawa. Yes, the child was depressed and chronically troubled but saw the so-called Freedom Convoy as a signal that the end of the world was near.
Canada isn't perfect but never have I seen such widely dispersed expressions of hate in the country I love. Being BIPOC, PWD, Indigenous, Jew/Muslim or even a HC worker shouldn't compromise one's right to respect & safety. Being human should be enough.
Shiven Taneja is 14 & an aspiring engineer. Not only did he build this air purifier that traps > 90% #Covid19 particles by himself, he's offering to help everyone in his community do the same. What an amazing young man! 🙌 @ShivenTaneja@Goodable
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference." 1/
@VeraEtches Dr. Etches, because of you, teachers in Ottawa are not getting vaccinated over the April break but the teachers in Toronto and Peel are. That's because you didn't have the courage of conviction to overrule the government and close our unsafe schools in Ottawa.
