Live in Kitchener at St.Mary’s Hospital where people are united with #Nurses to #SavePublicHealth #onpoli
We do not want to pay $150 for temp workers who lack benefits. We want nurses who have decent wages and supports. We want #PublicHealth to stay public. #StopPrivatization #onpoli #kitchener #Nurses #FordFailedNurses #FordFailedOntario 
Nurses are calling for safe staffing, fair contracts, a removal of wage caps. #RecindBill124. Stop gutting healthcare. #ProtectPublicHealthcare

The day Iceland's women went on strike

“Forty years ago, the women of Iceland went on strike - they refused to work, cook and look after children for a day. It was a moment that changed the way women were seen in the country and helped put Iceland at the forefront of the fight for equality”
“When Ronald Reagan became the US President, one small boy in Iceland was outraged. "He can't be a president - he's a man!" he exclaimed to his mother when he saw the news on the television.”
1/ Statement from PIPSC President Jennifer Carr on Doug Ford's union busting, Charter-breaching tactics (a thread):
What Doug Ford is doing is an unprecedented attack on labour rights in Ontario.

#onpoli #39kIsNotEnough #CUPE #notwithstandingclause
2/ Make no mistake – if Doug Ford succeeds in invoking the #notwithstandingclause to avoid bargaining with @CUPEOntario, he'll do that every time he finds anyone’s constitutional rights to be inconvenient to his agenda.

3/ It will be used by every right-wing provincial and federal gov't to ignore their obligations to bargain fairly. These actions will erode our hard-won rights – not just the right to collective bargaining, but every right enshrined in the Charter.

No need to rely on a leaked report - health care workers have been sounding this alarm for years - and especially the past few months. This is the worst I have seen in my 19 years in emergency medicine. So why is this happening? 1/
Inflow >> Outflow. #s of patients waiting for transfer from our hospital to a LTC (full), repatriation back to a hospital in their home region (full), or to home (no home care available) FAR EXCEEDS #s of patients waiting in the ED for a bed on the ward 2/
Yet those waiting fill all the ED beds as beds on the ward are full. We play ED "musical beds" in order to assess patients and often care for new patients in suboptimal spaces - hallways, waiting rooms, quiet-ish corners. The inflow will always continue - we do not close. 3/
Some thoughts on the #HealthCareCrisis in Ontario (and across Canada).
23 years as an EM physician and I have never seen things as bad as they have been for the last several months...with no sign of letting up

The bandaid solutions being thrown around: Government tells colleges they have two weeks to figure out how to increase the supply of doctors and nurses...are just that...bandaids - on a hemorrhaging wound.
Let's talk real solutions can we?

When you look at personality characteristic amongst healthcare workers..doctors, nurses, all the other members of the healthcare team... characteristics such as empathy, compassion, resilience are part of the fibre of our being...it's literally what leads us to find these careers
Today's FAO report is clear: Doug Ford is underspending on #Healthcare.
At a time when ERs across the province are closing due to staffing shortages, this is unacceptable.
I ask the Premier: If keeping emergency rooms open doesn’t warrant spending – what does? 1/

It’s inexcusable to underspend on #healthcare while nurses & other healthcare workers are burnt out.
This failure to act is costing Ontarians.
Doug Ford needs to invest in the ppl who provide care, starting with #Bill124 and repealing it. /2

I met with a family doc in Guelph this morning. Her story is a system on the brink of collapse. She is referring seriously ill patients to specialists & they are waiting months as their conditions get worse. She’s forced to provide mental healthcare she’s not trained to provide.
With a shocking look at the state of the #Ontario long-term care system, @AmitAryaMD tells #ORC22 that it isn't broken - it was designed this way.
The system must change.

"Long-term care should be a verb, an action, not a place." @AmitAryaMD says. Investment in home care should be a priority to relieve pressure on #LTC system & provide better quality of life to those who need it.
In Canada, we have austerity measures for long-term care, for seniors, and those with disabilities. Denmark spends twice per capita what we do and their system works.
