It defies credibility for the Minister to have had no part in a decision by her Ministry to increase funding for a private hospital by 278% when opening new & expanding existing private hospitals is banned by law. Time for another freedom of information request? @CBCQueensPark

Once again, I am demanding that the government charge everyone, including biklings, equally for safe infrastructure. A car/driver have 50,000 times as much road impact as a bicycle/rider. I will gladly pay $1 in use fees for safe bike lanes for every $50,000 paid by a driver.

MPP Dr. Adil Shamji clearly outlines the Ford government approach to enhancing the wealth of the few over the health of the many. Dr. Adil Shamji 🇨🇦 Andrew Longhurst @alonghurst.bsky.social

I urged Doug Ford to stop treating healthcare like an all-you-can-eat buffet for private, for-profit interests. Clinics performing the easiest surgeries on the least complex patients shouldn’t be charging the healthcare system 2-4x what public hospitals do. #onpoli #onhealth

Black people and disabled people think they belong at Christmastime, and every other time, too. Others find this existence intolerably aggressive, and want steps taken to ensure and enforce limitations on that existence. There are words for such people. We should use them.

I was hit by a right turning motorist that didn't indicate or yield the right of way to me in the bike lane. He broke my wrist and elbow. He was never charged and he lied to police.

Last year's levels of COVID nearly collapsed our healthcare system and had us shipping kids across the province to find a bed. Our current levels are even higher. Because we haven't addressed #IndoorAirQuality in schools! 70% of community infections start with a kid in school.

To be clear, actuaries acknowledged the DRAMATIC excess deaths increases were directly related to Covid in 2021, but then we systematically got rid of all of our testing & Covid infrastructure, & we quit reporting data, so now we get to pretend all the death is very mysterious.

This is "correct" strategy imo. Extended shutting down of roadways tends to grow reactionary backlash from a neutral or somewhat anti- group of people for the Palestinian cause. Targeting institutions (that people generally hate) that directly facilitate evil - perfection.

they might have been taught. Another possible reason, which seems plausible, is that main stream media is languishing, desperate for something exciting and lascivious to report. Peace order and good governance are lovely for living in but don't draw a lot 3/18

proceed to flog that bit of flotsam for all they're worth, for weeks and weeks, until the average Canadian is ready to chew their own limbs off to avoid hearing any more about the WE scandal, or SCN-Lavelin, or blackface, or swing-sets, or whatever else the CPC has 6/18

a variety of industries, including things like extractive enterprises (oil and gas and mining), and weapons manufacture, and insurance, and for profit healthcare corporations, etc. Things which do not have a desirable market share in Canada because of regulations... 11/18

What a dumb thing to poll....seriously, I don't know why on earth this was done or why. Do you people want to pay a carbon tax for anything at all? of course not. What you are polling is want instead of the actual issue which is need. I don't WANT to pay, but I NEED to. #cdnpoli

The "Sunshine List" threshold of $100k from its inception in 1996 equates to $177k in today's dollars. The list has been a great way for corporate Elites to use psychology against workers in order to suppress wages in both the public & private sectors. #OnPoli #OntEd

I was at a meeting two weeks ago (ffp3 masked and wearing protective eyewear) with 22 people in a relatively small room. Not my choice, not my room. I opened windows and door, checked airflow and positioned myself with fresh air blowing past me. Wait for it.

I can’t wait until we have different levels of hospitals. Loblaws City Hospital Real Canadian SuperHospital No Frills Hospital Your Independent Hospital Swipe your Optimum card for discounts on surgery and pharmaceuticals. Can’t wait to see what the deal of the week is.
