The bottom line is let patients and families decide what is a medical emergency. Why? Because what experienced ER doctors will tell you is that many seemingly benign "chief complaints" can be a medical or surgical disaster. These are things real ER doctors see. For example:

-"Eye pain": acute glaucoma threatening permanent vision loss
-"Toe pain": diabetic foot infection including infection down to bone
-"Sore ankle": acute septic joint needing surgical washout
-"Ear pain": acute necrotizing otitis externa which requires antibiotics and admission
-"Finger pain": acute septic tenosynovitis: requires surgical management
-"Nose rash": zoster of the nasociliary nerve possibly implicating the cornea
-"Back pain": necrotizing fasciitis with the patient soon dead despite maximal surgical and medical effort.

You can't be in a boardroom, at a podium or in a meeting and say that the above complaints should or shouldn't go to the ER. The only rationale policy is to let patients and families decide.

The worst example is sore thoat. There are many medical and surgical emergencies that will present with a sore throat. Telling people never to go to the ER with a sore throat is medically ludicrous. If you do that, people will die because some medical emegencies will be a sore throat.

Lastly, there is absolutely zero indication sore throats are anywhere near what ails our emergency medical system in Canada. The vast majority are a one-touch visit and have nothing to do with overcrowding in Canadian ERs.

Why is special education (already underfunded for PDSB by $45 million) being cut from $21.7 to $16.7 million?

Why is capital spending rising so much, leaving a $10.9 million deficit?

Why is this document only 13 pages?

Why was no one consulted?

NEW: Most of the Ford government's 1 per cent boost to core education funding this year isn't new money.

$234.2M (about 74 per cent of the increase) comes from existing education dollars shifted from other funding envelopes, according to ministry data.

Last year this @fordnation MPP's "free" BBQ cost Ontario taxpayers more than $32,000.

$32,000.

How is it possible to spend that much money on a single community BBQ??

Conservatives truly see Ontario taxpayer $$$ as their own private piggybank.

And that TVDSB's new Ministry-appointed CEO was a superintendent who actually went on the Blue Jays trip (which had literally nothing to do with the trustees), and does not have the qualifications outlined by the Minister for this new CEO role?

[Jill Promoli @jillpromoli]

Everyone knows the Italy trip board was never put under supervision, right?

“Those savings ensure more education funding is focused back on student achievement and not decisions like intl trips to buy artwork or attending sports games with public education dollars,”Testani said.

The executive of a private airline who lobbied for the expansion of Billy Bishop is now seeking the Liberal nomination in a lakefront Toronto riding?

At the exact same moment that Doug Ford is trying to expand Billy Bishop?

What incredible timing.

Meanwhile, the climate crisis accelerates. From severe heat to extreme weather events—including damaging winds, torrential rain that causes flooding, & terrifying tornadoes—Canadians are experiencing the ravages of man-made global warming.

8:37 pm July 1 2026. Getting a little tired of a forecast of “a few showers” from someone in Toronto when we have been seeing ongoing “training storms” with drenching, FLOODING rains in and around Ottawa since 2pm. #ONStorm

[Ottawa Weather Records🌤 @YOW_Weather]

With 111.4mm of rain, today is #Ottawa's wettest day in more than 20 years, since Sep 9th, 2004. #YowWx #OttWeather #OttNews

Canada Day in the Capital? People on holiday wanting to have fun? Barbecues?

Ok, let’s hit them with constant torrential rains, winds, lightning, flooding, power outages…apocalypse levels.

Then cycle it over&over again, all day, for hours without letting up & no sign of it ending.

Ontario boy died after a bat sat on his face. There were no visible bites
The 11-year-old swatted the bat off his face as he woke up during a visit to a cottage. His father caught the bat in a cooking pot and released it outside https://t.co/BuvMfn5PlI via @nationalpost

In 2016 one sick kid in my daughter’s kindergarten classroom caused an outbreak that cost us our two-year-old son’s life. Jude should be 12 and starting grade 7 with his twin brother.

It needs to be easier to keep sick kids home, not harder.

Please clarify, @fordnation.
