It is unacceptable that the Ontario government is letting the province's 3 temporary #PaidSickDays expire in July.
Workers deserve 10 permanent paid sick days.
Retweet this if you agree.
Elder Raymond Ningeocheak's plight sparked a protest in Iqaluit by people calling for more elder care facilities in the territory after his daughter went public with the $45,000 bill the family was facing to fly him home from Ottawa.

You know what's amazing? The Public Health Unit in Randy Hillier's riding (Leeds Grenville and Lanark) was the first in Ontario to hit the milestone of being 90% fully vaccinated. He is literally the most anti-vaxx MPP in the province & his constituents just ignored him. AMAZING.
Just sent out to students at one Ontarian university. In case @PaulCalandra doesn’t want to acknowledge there is a DISASTROUS STAFFING CRISES UNDERWAY IN #LTC RIGHT NOW 😶
A Florida bill that would prohibit public schools and private businesses from making white people feel “discomfort” when they teach students or train employees about discrimination in the nation’s past received its first approval Tuesday.

So Thursday Ontario announced kids would return to school but would basically not be recorded as outbreaks anymore, and three days later the cabinet is debating whether or not to close schools, the day before schools are scheduled to reopen. What a fun time to be a parent!
Welcome to Ontario, where people with money can afford time off to isolate. Where people with money can afford to buy rapid/PCR tests privately to monitor their health. Where people with money can afford to pay for N95s to stay safe.
What do people do if they don't have money?
Here's some New Years perspective. Betty White was 3 years older than Malcolm X & 7 years older than both Anne Frank & Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

When recipes start off by telling me to preheat the oven, they are grossly overestimating the amount of time I need. That oven is going to be done preheating long before I'm ready to use it.
PSA
Please switch to KN95/N95 masks if you’re able because #COVIDisAirborne and Omicron is the most transmissible variant yet.
Remember:
- the mask needs to FIT WELL and cover your mouth and nose
- 40h of life per mask with 24h or more between wears (discard if soiled/damaged)
There’s absolutely no place for intimidation or targeted harassment of health care professionals and we expect @twitter to investigate and act when they occur.
Once again other provinces are far ahead of ON
Rapid tests can effectively reduce the spread of Covid. They can also reduce anxiety by giving a fast result
@fordnation they are still not in the hands of parents. They should be easily accessible and free to all
#FreeTheRATs
The true measure of success is how many rapid antigen tests have been *used*. Ontario has used only *28%* of our rapid tests. In comparison, Nova Scotia has used 53%. Tests are useless if they are just gathering dust on shelves. #FreeTheRATs now to protect Ontarians.
