I worry about anyone who says our public healthcare needs to be more “competitive”.

Public healthcare is not a business competing for market share. It is a public investment that pays dividends in healthier people, stronger communities, and a more equitable society.

Meaning that teachers won't be able to look for the best deals and stretch the money as far as possible.

This entire thing is laughable. #onted

[Dr. Alex M. Horton, PhD @DrAlexMHorton]

Definitely being set up for a private school 2 tier system.

@fordnation another game with our kids and your constituents know it

[Kush @kushika_twt]

The first trillionaire being announced before the end of child poverty is not a success story.

It’s a moral failure.

[Bev 🇨🇦 @Garnet_2203]

Ontario has the same problem.

“There’s no money for education.”

But there’s money for police in schools.

Money for a private spa.

Money for Highway 413.

Money for a tunnel under the 401.

Meanwhile, teachers are still reaching into their own pockets to help stock their classrooms.

Ontario doesn’t have a money problem.

It has a priorities problem. 🍎📚🏫

Yesterday the orange turd again said that the US doesn't need Canada.

Canadians, we need to step up our game.

If you are still boycotting the US, and buying anything but American, I want to follow you!

Second day in a row a colleague of mine has left school with a migraine due to extreme heat. Imagine being a student, trying to learn.

We can't work from home.

Teaching conditions are learning conditions!

Please share and support @jamiewestndp.

While you bitch and blame the government for the price of groceries and gas, those sectors continue to make record shattering profits, quarter after quarter.

The CEOs fuel up their yachts and watch you try to pin it on the Prime Minister.

Congratulations #nbed teachers on securing a 14.5% wage increase over the next five years. #onted has some work to do! #etfo #osstf

What does it do to a generation of young people when all you hear is, “you’re not as literate as you should be, screen time is rotting your brain, and none of it matters anyway because A.I. will take your dream job”?

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Doug Ford's Minister of Education spent the entire session standing in front of cameras across Ontario and even in London UK to announce fake funding for our classrooms.

Minister Calandra thought he could silence students and educators by performing accounting tricks on camera.

Instead, he got caught with his pants down after documents revealed his $750 for classrooms were all smoke and mirrors.

The most important “data centres” to invest in will always be public schools.

[Cheri DiNovo @CheriDiNovo]

Data Centres banned in New York City for one year and then they will pay much higher electricity rates than residents.

Mr Carney? Do the right thing....

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

Honestly… we should really stop naming schools after people. So much future drama can be avoided by naming schools after rivers, streets, trees, etc. instead of after politicians or other famous people.

[Jamie Mitchell @realJ_Mitchell]

Naming a school after a man who accepted cash stuffed envelopes is on par for this government.

[Maria Tuma @tumascience]

@Mikeggibbs I hope you are right. It seems this evil government is untouchable right now.

ER "chair care" is on the rise. ER doctors report cases like the ones below. Like Dr. Drummond I attest ER chair care is on the rise.
1-bowel obstruction needing emergent surgery
2-a mother having a miscarriage
3-bony pain from widespread metastasis
4-opening abdomen as a complication of surgery
5-a patient waiting shocking of their heart for arrhythmia
6-confused elderly patients whose family is holding them down from running away
7-a patient with URTI symptoms from a family with COVID beside patients with cancer and from nursing homes
8-an elderly patient with a bowel obstruction
9-an elderly patient with brain bleeding after a fall
10-an elderly patient with a fall and broken spine
11-a patient with STEMI awaiting transfer to the cath lab for emergent opening of their heart vessels
12-a dislocated shoulder
13-a dislocated elbow
14-a patient after brain surgery with confusion and unable to walk
15-a patient with a new brain cancer that can't walk safely
16-a patient who spent 40+ hours in a chair @CAEP_Docs @alandrummond2 @NightShiftMD @picardonhealth

Growing waitlists. Layoffs. No wage increases for front-line staff.

But funding for private administration? It's tripled under Doug Ford.

Turns out there is money - it's just being redirected from care into profit.

There’s no one on Earth who needs AI slop, more data centres, or AI-assisted experience in every app, but every single human needs clean water, affordable energy, and a habitable planet.

“Committees still sit,” Premier Ford said this week, defending the record-long summer break at Queen's Park.

But PC MPPs are now trying to cancel all summer meetings of the committee that reviews government appointments, calling it "routine" scheduling: https://t.co/LrItfUDO5S
