# healthcare workers and people in every community share a common interest - to make all healthcare facilities as conducive to care as possible. We also all want it to be universal and suitable - not private for profit. @Leftwords @socialistprojct https://t.co/SltdU2EacA

Government has an obligation to meet with people whether or not they agree. This kind of mean pettiness and vindictiveness was the practice of the Harris govt of the 1990s. It was unprecedented then. Now it is back again, only worse. It is wrong & it matters.

With hospital spending already the lowest in Canada and inflation projected at 3.7% in 2023, Ontario’s health care spending put us on course for deep cuts, just as an aging, growing population needs more help. Ontario can’t blame the federal government now.

One of the largest producers of carcinogens is the plastics industry. They have fought against occupational & environmental regulations including the US ban on asbestos. See how Ca[ital maintains its power. @NewSolnsJournal @hazardscampaign https://t.co/JoxWRVajWv

There are a wide range of exposures linked to increase breast cancer risk. All are ignored in order to feed the appetite for profits over human rights. Such is the case for women in the plastics industry. https://t.co/i9CSBTjiO4
