In Doug Ford's Ontario, you need a credit card to see a doctor.
$80 per visit. $400 for a "membership."
For healthcare you already paid for with your taxes.
He's creating two classes of patients: those who can pay more and those who can't.
Katie Phang visits the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, an exhibition that displays the 3,437 volumes of The Epstein Files.
“Each of them weighs about 5 lb. … 3.5 million files bound into 800-page volumes. Altogether, it weighs about 17,000 lb.”
The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts.
History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization.
It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.
My patient stuck in ER for 4 days with no hospital bed to accept them is more important than:
-landing more jets in Toronto
-an Austrian spa
-a new Science Center
-a new jet
-rebate cheques before an election
-accelerated expanded alcohol sales
In committee the Minister of Municipal Affairs couldn’t name a single qualification they’ll look for when appointing their hand-picked regional chairs with strong mayor powers. These unelected chairs will have control over budgets & property taxes yet the Minister had no answers.
@Jo_AnnDavis@PaulCalandra • the phrase "infinitesimally insignificant" was not followed by a period in real life - the video was edited for disinformational political propaganda
Same in healthcare, obviously.
Once the pricks and bastards who run hospitals celebrated the removal of infection protections in the hospital, staff and patients get COVID again and again.
Ontario hospitals are in COVID outbreak constantly.
Private prisons are coming to Ontario. Many of these are being built for private operators.
UK's Serco runs Ontario's fraud-filled Drive Test program, and will probably operate private prisons here, like in the UK.
The Dons will own some, matching set to the cops they own.
I don’t only want highspeed rail from Windsor to Quebec City but also linking Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific and main centres in each province. We need to think big in Canada, not wimpy like Cons do. These projects are spurred by the govt but supercharge the economy.
Poilievre wants to cancel the high speed Toronto to Quebec City rail.
We should suggest (on his dime) he spend some time in Europe where rail takes you everywhere and public transit is taken by the wealthy because it's faster, cleaner, greener and cheaper.
Tory governments are the reason we're decades behind the world.

Doug Ford says OSAP is "unsustainable," but he has billions to spend on a luxury spa, a fantasy island, and vanity projects no one asked for.
As a mom to two young adults, I know what this generation is up against. Students across Ontario are being forced to choose between their future and a lifetime of debt — because Doug Ford chose a spa over their education.
Today, I'm forcing a debate and a vote to reverse these cuts and eliminate all interest on student loans.
