Hmmm 🤔 Lots of blame and shame about who screwed up health care. We all played a part - and all parts of the system contributed to getting to where we’re at.

People walking around a subway in Spain with Monkeypox like it’s nothing. We are indeed a suicidal civilization. We see a new pandemic right in front of us, growing in threat by the day, and we do nothing.

Staffing issue is complex, but steps need to be taken 1. Repeal 124 2. Contingency plan for immediate crisis eg. allow staff to easily move among hospitals to keep all ERs open 3. Hire RN educators to train Int'l hires 4. Work w/ ONA re: making full time work desirable vs agency

let’s be unequivocal — the health care crisis is not because health workers are taking vacation, it is a result of chronic neglect and system failure on repeat. any inaction from any level of government comes with very real human costs.

Make no mistake: Blaming health workers for taking vacations is a new low from an Ontario government that continues to deny that our healthcare system is in full blown crisis. Please...Repeal Bill 124. Pay nurses more. Improve working conditions for nurses. Just. Get. It. Done.

the same people trying to sell you on privatization as the panacea for our health care crisis seem awfully quiet when it comes to the failed MRI privatization pilot in Saskatchewan or the horrific tragedy that happened in for-profit long term care homes. we cannot be duped here.

The Minister of Health is looking for innovative ways to solve the staffing crisis. We now have an "uber" for ICU (and other) nurses charging a 25% "transaction fee" per "gig" Repeal Bill 124, pay RNs fairly and stop wasting public money on tech matchmaking platforms for nurses

New data shows that the number of unhoused people being turned away daily from Toronto’s homeless shelters has SKYROCKETED to 100 (yes, ONE HUNDRED) people...And, on average so far this year, ~9.8 people are dying each month in Toronto's shelters...It's just so heartbreaking! 💔

Canada needs to think differently about our reliance on global food supply and step up focus on our local food chains. Take our home grown ingredients and create more products made in Canada. Invest in agriculture and food production.

Private for-profit healthcare is a system designed to make more money for corporations and shareholders...While public healthcare is a system designed to make healthcare more accessible for people. We must defend our public healthcare system at all costs.

CUPE 🔥 “Pierre is a career politician who has been collecting a six-figure salary on the public’s dime since he was 24, and he’s spent every minute of his time in office fighting against fair wages, good pensions and a better life for working people.” cupe.ca/statement-cupe…

Serious question: How bad does the collapse of our healthcare system have to get…before our government brings back indoor mask mandates?

Make no mistake: The violence we're seeing on the TTC won't be addressed by having more police present. We need more housing. More mental healthcare. More harm reduction services. More public washrooms. More warming centres. We need a City of Toronto that's more compassionate.

As a physician, I cannot believe the policy debate is whether or not we are comfortable letting human beings freeze to death right now.

In fact the story doesn’t mention his daughter by name. The earlier drafts I wrote referred to it as a family wedding. What is important is whether money changed hands and whether public policy was influenced by a private event. #onpoli

I asked ChatGPT to summarize my feelings in verse, and it did an astonishing job: In sorrow do I witness suffering's reign, The public's decline, inflicted by this bane, The young struck by blood clots, strokes untold, Life's flame grows dimmer, as the years unfold. Alas,
