So let me get this straight: The Ontario government is giving 43 of their MPPs a $16,000 raise, bringing their total annual salary to $132,500…all while forcing People with Disabilities to survive on ODSP rates that are so low, that their total annual income is just $15,731? 🙄
Conservatives went from “Trudeau won’t get us vaccines ‘til 2030” to “Trudeau bought too many vaccines” to “I won’t take Trudeau’s vaccine and you can’t make me” in, like, a year.
Imagine telling your mother or sister they can’t have cancer surgery because the reopening of bars, indoor dining & casinos need to be prioritized
That’s what Doug Ford is saying to all of our loved ones
It’s disgraceful
I am not ok with sacrificing lives & wellbeing of elderly and immunocompromised people, terrorizing teachers, overburdening & burning out LTC/hospital staff until the healthcare system is decimated, and forcing parents to put families at risk so ON can be #openforbusiness#onpoli

Antivaxxers are planning to protest at hospitals in 10 provinces again on Monday.
Antivaxxers should NOT be allowed to protest outside hospitals, harass health workers & shame patients trying to access care.
RT if you agree
The ICU situation is concerning:
-#COVID occupancy much higher vs. last summer
-many trained RNs are sick, burnt out or lost to attrition. An ICU bed doesn't exist w/o them
-W4 ICU patients will be younger, length of stay per pt may be longer -> non-COVID care cancelled earlier
