The teacher shortage has become so bad that many teachers now feel guilty for being sick because it means their colleagues will have to be pulled to cover their class, and consequently, students will go without support. #onted#cdned#edchat
The privatization of nursing care in Ontario is costing taxpayers millions of dollars (fees paid to agencies exceed union rate + pension/benefits)
Premier Ford should be protecting hospitals from predatory pricing by for-profit agencies.
This #WorldHealthDay, we stand in #solidarity w/ @ontarionurses + all frontline health care workers in ON + around the 🌍.
Health care should not be for sale > tell your MPP to stop privatization + support a better deal for nurses #OnPoli#HealthForAll https://t.co/Ff6nBR8Nmh
After a double mastectomy, Barbara Savage waited 11 days for home care. When her surgical drainage tubes filled with blood, her daughter had to google how to drain them. This is the legacy of the Ford government #onpoli
We should not be saving tax dollars by eliminating health coverage for Ontarians who otherwise qualify.
Homelessness, addictions, lack of friend/family support, disability, and/or mental illness, should not be barriers to obtaining public insurance.
The next time the Premier & MoH speak, I'd love an answer to this:
Gov't funding to extend OR hrs allowed existing staff to perform 67K extra surgeries since Aug'21 returning waitlists to pre-COVID levels.
Why create a parallel private system if funding extended OR hrs works?
In long-term care, do you think that only 1 nurse & 2 PSWs caring for 30+ frail elders who need assistance with bathing, feeding, toileting, dressing, taking meds AND monitoring in case of decline in health...is acceptable?
How do we as a society still allow this to happen?
The Harris govt privatized home care. It's been a disaster ever since.
They privatized the majority of long-term care then made millions on their boards while causing immeasurable suffering.
Now @fordnation is trying to privatize our public hospitals.
Unless we stop him.
If you want to know what the new privatized surgery model will be like - just look at the privatized Long-Term Care and remember when the army was sent in #healthcare#OntarioHealth
.@fordnation I think my wife and RN’s across the province are worth a lot more than a 1% raise. Here she is ready to walk to work in this blizzard knowing she may be forced to be there more than the scheduled 12 hours of her shift…
BREAKING: Min of Ed @Sflecce calls out mother nature's disruption to student learning across Ontario. Says, " kids have been through enough...now you want them to make snow forts and drink hot cocoa, all day...doesn't prepare them for "jobs of the future!" Blames unions. #OntEd
