“The public is not aware what is happening to health care. We the workers, we see it first hand and it’s so important to educate our public so they know what is happening on the front lines.” - ONA Local 75 Bargaining Union President Angela Spiler

The pride flag is a a reminder that no matter who you love or how you identify, you BELONG. This move by YCDSB tells LGBTQIA2S+ children & youth, they don’t.
It’s 2023. How have we not moved past this to let people live, learn & LOVE in the way they were meant to?

Last week at a private, for-profit long-term care home in Orillia, a resident who lives with a disability, was forced to sit in their own waste for an entire night, due to staffing shortages at the home.
And according to the resident - it’s not the first time it's happened. 🧵
Ten years ago this week The Globe published the story of Ford family illegal drug trafficking among other activities, including a kidnapping charge. Doug Ford threatened to sue, of course he never did. Remember this when @fordnation talks about crime and locking people up.
A brief thread on the evolution of Premier Ford's comments on the the Greenbelt.
2018 pre-election: "We will open up the Greenbelt, not all of it. We're going to open a big chunk of it up and we're going to start building."

Just in time for #NursingWeek2023, we’ve ringed Queen’s Park in advertisements to call out @FordNation continued assault on Ontario’s public health-care system.
Tell Ford that you’ve had enough of his gambling with your health care: https://t.co/4HUV0eT9S1

Whoa! Nurses were kicked out of the Ontario legislature on the first day of Nurses Week!! First #Bill124, then taking nurses to court, then #Bill60 & now kicking nurses out of the legislature?! Shame!! #NursesWeek2023#NurseTwitter#onhealth#onpoli
Premier, your actions speak otherwise. Stop fighting us in court, repeal Bill 124, pay us properly, give us safe patient-to-staff ratios, and listen to us. #onpoli#NursesWeek
ONA President @erinariss and health care allies were just kicked out of the legislature for loudly voicing their opposition to #Bill60, which expands the scope of private health care in Ontario.
We won't let @Fordnation silence our opposition to his drive to privatize! #onpoli
People living in tents at Hamilton city hall have been given orders by bylaw officers to leave their encampment. @alchchnews spoke with people living there and they say they have nowhere else to go.

As an ER/ICU nurse, I've had patients yelling & threatening to harm staff. We de-escalate such situations. We don't kill patients just because they "appear threatening." How does a white marine kill an unhoused Black man who was crying for help? Those justifying this are evil.
This Monday #Bill60 will be voted on in Ontario’s Legislature. Ford never disclosed this plan to privatize our health care system which will deliver less healthcare services for more money. I will proudly vote against it - citizens can also vote against this plan 👇 #onpoli
