As our public healthcare system collapses, why isn't Ontario's government investing more in healthcare?
The simple answer: To make people give up on our public healthcare system, & to create the illusion that more private for-profit healthcare is the solution.
Spread the word.
So let me get this straight: The Ontario government literally underspent by $5.5 billion this year (including $1.3 billion unspent on healthcare & $1.1 billion unspent on social supports like ODSP) during a COVID-19 crisis, overdose death crisis & a housing crisis?
Enraging.
July 20, 2021: Police forcibly remove homeless encampments in Toronto
Nov 19, 2021: RCMP break into a tiny house in Wet'suwet'en to arrest Indigenous land defenders & journalists
Who the police allow to exercise & exceed) their "right to protest" is obvious and terrifying
Unreal! In advance of convoy protests this weekend, health workers in Toronto are being asked not to wear clothes that may identify them as health workers.
They used to clap & bang pots for us. How'd we get to a place where health workers must hide in public just to be safe? 💔
Please understand that pointing to the lack of police violence against the convoy protesters is not a call for violence. It's pointing out that the absence of police violence is possible and should be expected when protesting, especially for Black and Indigenous communities.
