If you cannot be corrected without being offended, then you’ll never truly grow in life. 🧠

I’m seeing a growing number of students complain: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into the course.”

Public service announcement: You don’t get an A for effort. You earn it for excellence.

Success is measured by the level of mastery you show, not how hard you work.

Imagine working at a short-staffed restaurant with tables for 35, but you can't turn away customers. You create space for an extra 13 customers in a hallway, but there are 42 more waiting. You serve them in chairs in the lobby.

Change customers to patients and this is RUH ER

My husband (who does not work in healthcare) just told me his company is proactively INCREASING their vacation days, dental benefits, and healthcare spending accounts to retain staff. Why can't this be the case for #nurses and #healthcare workers??

A restriction on “undue profits” was dropped.

Gone, too, was a list of “ineligible expenditures,” which would have prevented operators from using public money to finance their mortgages or pay executive bonuses.

The province pledged to partner with the federal government to create a public system.

Within months of committing to that vision, the Ford government made concessions to for-profit daycares.

NEW: With Ontario’s Bill 7, a frail elder in hospital can be discharged to a LTC facility 150 km away…or be forced to pay $400/day.

So…how would this impact that frail elder who only eats when their spouse comes in to feed them, if the elderly spouse can’t drive?

You tell me.

Today we agreed to purchase 30 ES-30 electric-hybrid aircraft from @heartaerospace, a step toward our goal of net zero emissions by 2050. These regional aircraft will seat up to 30 passengers & fly quietly with zero emissions when on battery power.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

So let me get this straight: Ontario is aiming to free up hospital beds by sending frail elders & People with Disabilities, without their consent, to mostly for-profit LTC facilities...which have higher rates of transferring their residents back to hospital in the first place? 🙄

If you are wondering how things are going @TorontoPearson I have been waiting at the luggage carousel for 90min and @AirCanada says “it’s rush hour”. This is madness.

Only days into his second term and @fordnation is flashing nepotism like it’s no big deal. Hey Ontario, are you paying attention!?!?

[Catherine Cabral @ccmarotta]

@BillGuerrieri @birgitomo No she is judging nepotism by the very definition of nepotism. Literally.

[Catherine Cabral @ccmarotta]

@AnthonyRota @HoCSpeaker disrespectful verbal exchanges in the HoC are absolutely unacceptable. As the Speaker, you must show a zero tolerance policy for this type of behaviour. If MPs cannot fulfill their roles in a respectful manner, they have no right to step in that house.
