@Metrolinx Where do we get the answer as to why, at Carlaw & Dundas, there are back-up beeping vehicles ruining sleep at 1:30am?

When Marike Finlay and her partner Karin Cope decided to up sticks and move from Quebec to the Maritimes 20 years ago, they had a question for their older friend, Elisabeth Bigras: "Why don't you come?"

@drmwarner, can we not arrange for you to lead this whole thing?

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

While it's unlikely kids will return to in-class instruction this school year, we need to plan ahead.

Labour day is just over 4 months away.

For teachers/staff to be fully vaccinated when class resumes in September, they need their 1st shot in the next 2.5 weeks.

@fordnation If Large Gatherings are a problem, why are factories/warehouses still open? What alternatives could there be if we need these to remain open.. I mean what would a reasonable solution be... I dunno, spitballing here, maybe say... Testing, Vaccines & um PAID SICK DAYS?

[Denis Rancourt @denisrancourt]

Single greatest threat to health in Ontario is Doug Ford @fordnation . He should be removed and isolated immediately.

[Sylvia Verkley @SylVerkley]

@fordnation Listen to our doctors! #PaidSickLeave #closebigboxstores #covidspreadsindoors

[Sylvia Verkley @SylVerkley]

@cbcradio who is the broken telephone? Who is blocking the message that doctors are trying to send to Ford?Or is @fordnation just an ignorant bully who won’t listen to anyone.

[Hayley Wickenheiser @wick_22]

Movement is medicine. This is just ridiculous.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Today I learned:
- @fordnation doesn't care about my patients or that they are primarily poor & racialized Canadians
- essential workers will continue to die
- triage will happen
- Ontarians have not only been abandoned, but also blamed by @ongov for our collective situation

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

We’re in for dark days in Ontario. Remember to be kind to one another and to yourselves.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

The story of my 40 year old #COVID patient on life support.
Her life is in danger and her family has been destroyed because @ongov will not do what is required to protect those most at risk. (shared with permission)

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

It took:
5 MDs
4 ICU RNs
4 RTs
1 perfusionist &
3 critical care paramedics
3 hrs
To save my ~40 yr old #COVID patient with #ECMO

It would have cost @ongov $114 (8h x min wage) to allow her husband to take a day off work from his factory in known outbreak.

We have lost our way.

[Marcus Riedner @daraddishman]

@drmwarner Based on average Ontario medical staff salary that was $2950 +/- in labour costs, plus equipment, plus facilities. So even if we just run it as a cold hearted numbers game this was a brutal fail.

[Sylvia Verkley @SylVerkley]

@tangwaikiat @TO_Resident @Metrolinx Have to agree, unfortunately.
