Ontario spends less on healthcare per person than any other province in Canada blogto.com/city/2024/08/o…

You pay for primary care via taxes, but Maple wants you to pay more by skirting rules using out of province MDs/NPs. It's owned by (yup) Loblaw's. When people are desperate, opportunists see profits. For-profit medicine is lower quality and not what most Canadians want.

On the continuing legacy of Doug Ford "You think it can’t get any worse, and it just got worse" ctvnews.ca/health/serious… CUPE Ontario MichaelHurleyCUPE Ontario Nurses' Association Original paper... /1

But let's massively undercut healthcare and education. And then blow money on vanity projects.

Reminding me about IASP #WC2024 leadership workshop. ❤️ Nadia Soliman, what a great idea to bring this workshop to life!

This is so gross. I can’t imagine how anyone would be ok with this as they deliberately defund the public healthcare system

The biggest failure of the Ontario NDP & Ontario Liberal Party | Parti Libéral de l'Ontario is that they are not having daily press conferences in front of Queen’s park about how instead of fixing real problems, they are making the rich richer. Both parties are going to get crushed. And only have themselves to blame

Infrastructure Ontario document lists “scaling back programming” and “staff reductions” as money-saving “pros” of the OSC closure. By closing, the Province knowingly put the building, staff & science education at risk #ScienceCentre canadianarchitect.com/in-closing-the… canadianarchitect.com/in-closing-the…

This week Doug Ford offhandedly admitted he knows Ontario’s healthcare system is in trouble. He also made it clear he sees humour in that. Which makes it entirely reasonable to infer he’s not doing anything about it. Doug Ford should step down now.

This is insane. When Cons can’t win, they scheme together and lie because the truth is never on their side. The right wing is only on the side of the super rich and corporations who don’t care about you, the environment or the social wellbeing of Canada.

I just want people to understand that despite all the right-wing propaganda, literally NO ONE has died of an overdose at a safe consumption site in Canada because they do exactly what they're supposed to do - prevent overdose deaths. Without them, people will die.

Truly inspiring Kavli prize lecture by Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected] this morning Universitetet i Oslo

As Ontario's new Minister of Education does her back-to-school photo op in a school library, don't forget that the Ford Government eliminated protected funding for school libraries and library staff earlier this year. They also cut funding for public libraries in half in 2019.

You can’t find a doctor. You’re waiting hours upon hours in the emergency room. You can’t afford a home. But don’t worry, Doug is busy personally inspecting every can of beer that heads for the convenience store.
