In the US a woman just told me she pays $800.00 a month for her medical insurance (senior with a few medical issues) This is what @fordnation wants for us. Just say NO! NO PUBLIC $$ to PRIVATE CARE
I can’t see how private surgery clinics are going to help. We have ORs sitting idle at public hospitals. It is due to a human resource shortage not a physical facility shortage. Funding the public system adequately to address the backlog would be the most efficient solution.
It won't be about you.
Private, for-profit health care means the clinic's bottom line will take priority, NOT patient care.
It means more health care workers driven out of our system. Longer wait times. Hidden fees.
We can't let Doug Ford get away with this. #onpoli
Pediatric ICU at > 127% capacity.
>50% of kids ventilated.
Surgeries cancelled.
Community partners at maximum capacity and being supported virtually as no space at Sick Kids.
Hey @Sflecce, have you seen what is happening in Nova Scotia?
ECEs are going to receive wage increases ranging between 14 and 43%! Given the fact that the cost of living is much higher here in Ontario, it's time you pony up and give #onted#cupe members the raise they deserve!
I refuse to be embarrassed that I am from Alberta.
But I am embarrassed and troubled that this is what our Premier is putting out into the world today on our behalf.
Having represented over a million Albertans, I know that these are not the prevailing views in our community.
REMINDER: As a two day heat event starts today for Southern Ontario with “extreme” temperatures rising to above 30 C, and humidity so high that it will feel close to 40 C…over 100 LTC facilities STILL do not provide air conditioning in rooms.
Are we sore losers or do we just think Canada should use a proportional system like 85+ countries already use and has been the recommendation every time this issue has been studied at provincial & federal levels?
Ontario’s signing of the fed child care agreement was a historic win for gender equity. But it's missing a workforce strategy to recruit/retain workers.

Child care advocates will be out at @OFLabour May Day events all over Ontario today to say ECEs and child care workers are #WorthMore! We need #DecentWork and pay in child care. #onpoli
So who's gonna tell him?
Continually ignoring ECEs & child care workers is going to undermine this historic child care agreement. Your current child care plan won't reverse an ECE retention crisis. They need decent work and pay & an $18/hr wage floor ain't it.
STOP. Get out and support your candidate. Donate. Spread the word. But PLEASE STOP peddling this narrative that he’s gonna win. He won’t. We’ll make sure of it, together. They surveyed 1,977 people in Ontario. Like… how many nurses and teachers alone? Let’s do this #VoteFordOut
The credit is shared by organizations like @AECEO@ChildCareON@Child_Care_Now@CCCF_FCSGE who have been advocating 4 better working conditions 4 ECEs. 80K+ additional spaces 4 children means nothing w/o educators receiving living wage & paid sick days. This deal provides neither
