So let me get this straight: The City of Toronto has enough resources to add an extra $50 million to the police budget but doesn’t have enough resources to keep warming centres open 24/7 so that unhoused people don’t suffer & freeze to death?
So cruel.
A recap:
-Greenbelt land to go for developer profit
-Waterfront public land to be run by a private spa
-Public healthcare surgeries sold to private enterprise
-Municipal fees from developers now 60 days to decision or they get a refund
.
To me it feels like Ontario is “for sale”
I am pleased that both the Integrity Commissioner and the Auditor General have agreed to investigate Ford’s decision to break his often-repeated promise and open up certain areas of protected Greenbelt land for development. #onpoli
Doug Ford’s new legislation is outrageous. Nurses and healthcare workers cannot take on more responsibilities and work. We are beyond burnt out as it is. We’re tired of being abused and treated like garbage. No wonder so many are fleeing their professions/ this province. #onpoli
This is insane.
Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its Covid vaccine.
It only costs $2.85 to make.
Taxpayers paid 100% of Moderna’s Covid vaccine development.
We paid $2,500,000,000.
This is the people’s vaccine. Shame @Moderna_tx into changing course.
I don’t accept Doug Ford claiming he has to be a “prudent fiscal manager” to justify keeping Bill 124. Every year @fordnation has spent a record amount while destroying essential services, wasted 100s of millions breaking contracts, & lost billions of COVID relief funds. #onpoli
The MO House GOP trying to force women's attire are comprised of 17 women & 94 men. And in fact those 94 men have enough votes in 163 member House to force their attire rules on women.
Make no mistake—this isn't about attire—it's about insecure men unable to control themselves.
Would love for reporters to ask Premier @fordnation at his press conference today why his government is fighting workers in court regarding Bill 124 when his own government knew it was pushing nurses & health care workers out of the system. #onpoli
Doug Ford on Bill 124 “I can’t just be spending money willy-nilly”. Also Doug Ford: spending money fighting the decision against Bill 124 and building highways to nowhere.
Nursing is not a calling. It is a job. Stop framing the nursing profession as a calling so we can demand fair wages & better working conditions without being called greedy. How can nursing be a calling but fire-fighting, medicine, and other male-dominated professions aren't?
Military is Federal
Health Care is Provincial
You want to blame anyone for the collapsing HC system look at the conservatives run provinces ( looking at you Ontario and Alberta)
This is the PC strategy – starve the public system of funding, demoralize nursing and personal support staff with the wage-suppressing Bill 124, watch wait times increase to record levels and sooner or later private delivery will look like a better option.
When you hear the government talk about expanding private for-profit healthcare, remember that this would:
- worsen health worker shortages in our public system
- divert public dollars towards corporate profits
- lead to a decline in the quality of care
Please…remember this.
