In the last 24 h, @DrMWarner has spoken to CNN & I have spoken to Al Jazeera English. Many other health workers have spoken to international media too. The Ontario government's #COVID19 plan is now an international embarrassment. The people of Ontario deserve better. RT if you agree

AZ>40 is a great move. April 20-25 should be hotzone vax week in Ontario. Divert supply to pharmacies in hotzone areas and have @ongov contract with employers to cover paid vax time for essential workers. Empty the fridges.

It's been 2 weeks since Doug Ford announced 18+ #CovidVaccine eligibility in hot spots. Only 21% of City of Toronto 🇨🇦 postal codes have had a pop up clinic. What's the plan for the rest of TO? Joe Cressy John Tory Toronto Public Health Dr. Eileen de Villa Christine Elliott

The Ontario Science Table [COVIDScienceOntario] has recommended that 50% of all available vaccines go to hotspot neighbourhoods with the highest rates of #COVID19. RT if you agree the Ontario government should immediately do this to save lives.

#BREAKING: The Ontario government has once again voted against #PaidSickDays. In total, our government has now voted against paid sick days 21 times since the start of the #COVID19 pandemic. If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

Jane Philpott With involvement of #design there would be a second half of the report - actionable plans.

#BREAKING: Ontario's LTC Minister just walked out of a news conference on LTC. When our elected leaders refuse to engage with the very people who elected them, it's a slap in the face every elder who died, every caregiver who cried & every frontline health worker who suffered.

We need a public inquiry into the #OntarioVaccine rollout. Why? Because the Ontario government ignored the advice of experts & scientists, which led to hundreds of unnecessary deaths in LTC & many more vaccine-preventable deaths of essential workers. RT if you agree.

Really excited our paper on a research-through-design knowledge translation approach has been published! This is an extension of our Going Home to Die installation at DesignTO in Jan 2020 with @sarina_isenberg Steph Saunders and Kate Wilkes. tandfonline.com/eprint/8MWR3TW…

Enough is enough. The Canadian government should stop fighting Residential School Survivors and First Nations children in court. RT if you agree

Serious question: It's July...Where is the plan to keep students safe in school in September?

The Quebec government is introducing a bill that will ban anti-vaccine protests near schools and hospitals. It's about time the Ontario government does the same. RT if you agree

According to Nancy Lefebre "SE Health and Saint Elizabeth Foundation are not afraid to tackle tough problems and confront controversial social issues. Many people are afraid to talk about death and as a result the experience of grief and loss become hard to process."

Introducing RAT Tracker—a citizen-powered tool for anonymous reporting of rapid antigen test results for Toronto students. The data collected will fill a gap in our understanding of Omicron’s spread and inform the COVID-19 situation at each Toronto school. thelocal.to/rat-tracker/
