Since Ontario announced a vaccine mandate for LTC: - over 95% of health workers in LTC are now fully vaccinated - there are only 3 LTC cases right now (even though cases are increasing across the province) - LTC has had ZERO deaths since October 20th Vaccine mandates work!

It’s shocking that our COVID policies are allowing 10,000 people to attend the Raptors game tonight while more and more seniors have to be confined to their rooms because of outbreaks in LTC. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this?

So let me get this straight: Ontario's COVID policies still respect the rights of people to attend casinos, bars & gyms…all while more and more seniors in LTC are losing their rights and are being confined to their rooms, yet again?

Most Canadians respect Terry Fox and War Memorials. Most Canadians don’t steal from food banks. Most Canadians would never wave a swastika and if they saw one, they would take it down. And most Canadians are vaccinated. I consider those people to be the true patriots.

Retweet this if you stand with health workers.

We were 8 ICU nurses short today. EIGHT. Dangerous patient assignments continue. Hard to believe this is what healthcare looks like in a country as wealthy as Canada.
