The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario (FAO) is out with a scathing report. Ford government’s public health-care hospital capacity will shrink by 2027-2028 due to surging demand and that Ford gov with Sylvia Jones is allocating over $21 billion less to the public sector.

“A spokesperson for Minister of Health Sylvia Jones said the Ontario Health Coalition was “ideologically opposed to any action our government is taking” to expand access to health care.”

NEW - The government releases the partially redacted business case for ServiceOntario to Global News. It shows Staples will get $8.29M over three years to run 9 locations, compared to the $3.66M a year it cost the government to run with independent owners. https://t.co/Zl2RC0kWNT

Private health care is more expensive than public care, costing the taxpayer more.

But Doug Ford has increased funding to for-profit hospitals & clinics by 300%, while he funds public hospitals at the lowest rate in the country.

We must stand up to privatization. 🧵 #onpoli

Doug Ford’s Conservatives are lying about healthcare. Ontario has the fewest staff working with the most patients. Instead of fixing #HallwayMedicine, Ontario has the fewest number of beds of *any* province!
It’s never been this bad.
Ontario deserves better!

Listen up⬇️
Frank is right.

So what's the end game?

The Conservatives plan is create chaos in education - just like they did in hospitals - then privatize, forcing you to pay out of pocket for services that should be free ... while their insider friends get rich.

NEW - A ServiceOntario owner who had their business of 23 years closed by the Ford government speaks to CityNews in a broadcast exclusive. Hear why Claudia Savonia feels she’s been “Left high and dry”

This morning I joined parents and workers calling for an increase in special education funding.

Children deserve to be safe in schools. Zak's story is the result of years of underfunding, and that needs to change.

In a rare display of public honesty & transparency (minus spin & semantics), a @PeelSchools Assoc Director acknowledges tonight that the cuts being made to Spec Ed across the board are necessary in an effort “to be accountable to those who write the cheques”. #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab

Pressure is building on the Ontario government to take action against temporary agencies that charge hospitals high rates for replacement nurses amid a worsening staff shortage and growing hospital deficits. https://t.co/nz8c8NyByV

[Wayne Gates @Wayne_Gates]

I was proud to join hundreds of residents last week in Fort Erie to demand 24/7 services at our Urgent Care Centre.

The reality is, the Ford government has refused to address the staffing crisis, while they privatize our health care & over 1,000 ERs and UCCs closed last year.🧵

Workers reported multiple negative impacts on their mental health as a result of their jobs, with 62% saying they experience exhaustion and high stress, while 44% have trouble sleeping.

Think Ontario realizes the LCBO reduced provincial taxes by over ~$2 billion /year, so they’re about to lose public services for slightly easier access to liquor?
