"Pediatric ICUs are overwhelmed. Surgeries are being cancelled. Families with sick children are waiting upwards of 10 hours for care," says @CFifeKW, adding it's "unconscionable" the Ford gov't is shortchanging health care funding by $859 million in the middle of a crisis #onpoli
In case they need reminding, I’ve compiled a list of all the times Doug Ford and his housing minister Steve Clark said they wouldn’t touch the #Greenbelt (caution: long 🧵 ahead):
I’m going to say it: I like paying taxes in exchange for a properly managed health care and education system and other government services. I don’t want money back, I want ambulances to come on time.
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.
Why do some people assume that when a Black, Indigenous or Person of Colour is hired for a role, they are a “diversity hire”? I am tired of this racist trope. Let me educate you: they were hired because they are smart and competent.
@Sflecce You're the one causing the hardship on the students & these workers. You can end the "illegal" strike by agreeing to a contract that provides educational workers a living wage.
Many people have asked me for the list of MPPs who voted for Bill 28.

Concerning to see that after health officials told 18+ Ontarians they could book their boosters ASAP before the holidays the earliest appointments through the provincial booking system are in February. Omicron will not wait.
@tr1stans @LisaKreitzer1 @ruithinks@CP24 I'm sorry for your & your family's experience. However, you seem to be using anecdotal evidence (and a single one at that) in lieu of statistics and population-based data.
@tr1stans @LisaKreitzer1 @ruithinks@CP24 Mostly incorrect. It's basically a pandemic of the unvaxxed now. The unvaxxed in Canada make up a smaller % of the pop than the vaxxed yet are responsible for a larger # of the cases & transmission
@AnthonyFigs@CP24 Because of the relative risk. Yes, someone who is vaccinated can contract covid and spread it. But the chances of that happening are much lower than if unvaxxed
@AnthonyFigs@CP24 People who are immunocompromised tend not to mount as strong if a response to vaccines (due to their compromised immune system). The vaccine still provides protection, but these ppl tend to be at higher risk even if vaxxed
