@ColinDMello A refusal by a Board to raise the Pride flag is in itself a refusal by the Board to stand with those students.

[Rose Russo @RoseRusso9899]

@HubertVan You are working with agencies that much is clear. If agency agendas are not consistent with those of individuals with disabilities what then Minister?

[Rose Russo @RoseRusso9899]

@chiefmacsween @YRP I am so sorry. Deepest condolences to family, friends, colleagues and all who knew her. May she rest in peace.🙏

[Rose Russo @RoseRusso9899]

@GERONursing Happy Birthday and all the best to her🙏.

A new policy rule: you can’t keep increasing police budgets while calling housing and health care too expensive.

[Siobhan Morris @siomoCTV]

I beg your pardon

[Rose Russo @RoseRusso9899]

@CP24 Why indeed

[Disability Without Poverty @Disability_WP]

"21% of disabled ppl live in poverty. While federal and provincial benefit programs do help, they’re often not enough for those with chronic illnesses and disabilities."

@CPHO_Canada Seriously? Highest death count of any yr of the pandemic & my disabled kid still can’t go to school because her teachers & classmates aren’t obliged to - and thus won’t - wear masks. Consider 2022 through the lens of the vulnerable and disabled, please. It’s been awful.

[Rose Russo @RoseRusso9899]

Please move forward on finalizing Canada Disability Benefit. History of PWD. Pandemic experience. Inflation. It's enough. @theJagmeetSingh @BlocQuebecois @JustinTrudeau @PierrePoilievre @DesjarlaisBlake @BonitaZarrillo @trudel_denis @TracyGrayKLC @annarobertsmp @Disability_WP

I did a thing. I agreed to go visit a freedom convoy group having a bbq. I went with as open a heart as I could. My friend said "come see, we are nice people". Well curiosity killed the cat and I will never go back. It started ok.

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

A policy reminder that failing on housing as a human right is awfully cruel/expensive.

a month in provincial jail costs: $9,400

a standard hospital stay: $15,500

a month in shelter: $6,600

social housing: $2,500

housing for all is a matter of social justice/sound economics.

[Dr.VivianS @DrVivianS]

This is all sickening.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

So let me get this straight: Ontario's healthcare system is collapsing. Working conditions are so bad that health workers are already quitting en masse. And now...the Ontario government is looking to CUT costs...in healthcare staffing?

How does this make any sense?

[Rose Russo @RoseRusso9899]

@AmitAryaMD It doesn't make any sense. He is failing in his duty to serve and protect the people of Ontario. A child with pneumonia waited 40 hours in an ER. HCW are exhausted, traumatized and burned out. What kind of person responds with this action?

[Rose Russo @RoseRusso9899]

@chiefmacsween @YRP @OttawaPolice Heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues and the police community.

[York University @YorkUniversity]

Effective immediately, in alignment with Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health’s guidance, York is calling on the community to resume masking in all indoor settings. We will continue to monitor public health guidelines: https://t.co/VijLl36iac | #YUBetterTogether

COVID-related hospitalizations in Ontario over the last year👇

This is still an issue as it continues to disproportionately impact older/vulnerable populations.

Now COVID, Flu & RSV are putting pressure on an already stretched healthcare system.

Vaccines & masking can help.
