My classroom was so hot I had to end my classes early. I have 35 students and 27 chairs. My school is facing a $30,000 budget shortfall compared to last year. @Sflecce what happened to safer better schools and historic funding? #onted
The climate crisis is spiraling out of control. 1000s of fish are washing up dead in the Gulf of Mexico because the water is too hot to hold oxygen. This is a climate emergency.
For most of us it is difficult to understand the amount of damage by the Russians in Ukraine. So, here are 10 analogies.
1. @KSE_Institute estimates total direct losses at $143.8 bn. This is about equivalent to rebuilding the city of the size of Los Angeles from scratch. 1/
Aging Ontario population: We need more HCW workers and facilities.
Stephen Lecce and Monte McNaughton: Ontario needs more skilled tradespeople.
Everyone: We need more affordable housing.
Doug Ford: Free tuition to police school it is then!
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?
The Ontario election was just 7 months ago.
Sending public money to private health services was mentioned zero times by @fordnation or any PC candidate.

1/ If we'd only take inhalation dose of virus-laden aerosols seriously. In Canada - COVID-19 funding/person in 2020 was $770/person (much lower now). COVID-19 fatalities nearly doubled between Oct '21 and Oct '22. Wait for it ....
First they came for the environment, but I did not speak out because it was not my backyard. Then they came for healthcare, but I did not speak out because I was not sick. Then they came for labour and education…but….#EnoughlsEnough! #CUPE#negotiatenotlegislate
Avg. rent in the city is 2500/month, which is 30K/year. Avg. CUPE Ed worker salary is 39K/year. Remember who to be mad at if schools are closed due to a strike: blame falls squarely on the man denying early childhood educators and custodians the right to basic decent living.
Let's not forget that Ford had no issue giving 73 MPPs on his side of the House a pay bump of $16,000.
But education workers earning $40,000 or less are greedy and unreasonable?
Make it make sense, @fordnation.

Our rural ER is 26% over capacity, with admitted patients. No resuscitation beds. All inpatient unit beds are full. ICU is full. Palliative patient, waiting for a bed, died in the ER hallway. Patient collapsed, waiting to be triaged. How bad before hospital admin closes the ER?
Dear @elonmusk as a former friend may I suggest that dealing with climate change and protecting democracy might be a better use of time and money than giving racists and antisemites a social media platform
