Live in Kitchener at St.Maryās 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

So, as Ford's not complying w/ a court order to release mandate letters, I am helping Ontario's ministers by publishing a simplified version of what I assume, from their actions, are their mandates. (They'll be easier for them to read anyway.) #onpoli #FordFailedOntario

Education: Make teachersā lives a living hell. Be vague re masking, refuse to reduce class size, dither re online/hybrid teaching, block $$ for infrastructure, & withhold free tests. The more resignations the better. On the bright side, you can be very nice to private schools
2/

Health: One word: privatization. Release ON from its burden of supporting peopleās health. Confused directives, reduced wages, understaffing, underfunding are all good. The fedsāll kick in the $$. Weāll build a few hospitals & sell them to our friends later. Just donāt tell

Make no mistake. #DougFord WILL privatize #healthcare in Ontario. That's why he's desperately keeping his mandate letters secret. They call for privatization! You'll pay what Americans pay for healthcare (shown in video).

This is my first ever tweet. Iāve been on here for years but wasnāt sure what I wanted to say until today. So here it is: Imagine having a functional and just government in Ontario. 1/7
One that said: āour pandemic response will be rooted in protecting the most vulnerable.ā One that said āchildrenās rights to a safe education and the populationās right to safe housing and health care are our foundational goal and every policy decision will follow from that.ā 2/7
One that believed that the role of government was to better peoplesā lives, to reduce suffering, to work towards equity. A government that used its considerable resources to protect us, instead of harm us in service of corporations and the wealthy. 3/7
OUTRAGEOUS/EYE OPENER: A small business owner sent me this photo. They were able to easily & quickly secure 30 (yes, thirty) FREE boxes of 25 rapid tests for their business within one week. Easy ordering process and very few questions asked upon pick up. 1/
Meanwhileā¦school children, their families, essential workers (including my CA survivor teacher friend) are being forced to pay $40/test out of their pockets for the same luxury. This raging pandemic is being inflamed by our corrupt, incompetent, negligent government 2/
Donāt let them fool you. There are tests, most of which have probably been ādeployedā to various Chambers of Commerce to be easily provided to local businesses FREE OF CHARGE. We all pay taxes, we all deserve to be kept safe. Especially people who are vulnerable. 3/
I don't get why people in Ontario aged 18-49 find it confusing to book their vaccine appt. Just go to covid19.ontariohealth.ca. Then, you may think clicking "age criteria for your Public Health Unit" would show you age criteria for your Public Health Unit, but you'd be wrong. 1/21
Instead, it brings up some sort of an FAQ with a URL that includes the phrase "vaccine-70-older" - ignore that, it's not relevant.
The first question on the page, "Who can schedule a vaccine appointment," contains two different links in it...2/21
The first question on the page, "Who can schedule a vaccine appointment," contains two different links in it...2/21
One link is info about who should NOT get the vaccine, and one is a link to Ontario's 3-phase vaccination plan. If you follow the latter, it brings you to a page that gives a vague outline of Ontario's vaccine plan. It says Phase 2, which we're in now, is for ppl aged 60-79. 3/21
I just heard from the staff rep at another high school in our system that a student who tested positive had no close contacts in class, only on the bus. Public health didnāt inform the teacher. (1/6) #FordfailedOntario #onted #ontpoli #FireLecce
At this same school, two students who sat beside each other in class both tested positive but it wasnāt an outbreak. (2/6)
Theyāre doing voluntary asymptomatic testing this Friday starting at 2:30 PMāschool will be over. (3/6)
It's finally happened - women on my timeline asking each other how you go about taking leaves of absence, going unpaid, using all leave (if they have it) because working full time + supporting kids with at home learning + trying to manage everyday tasks is unsustainable.
Parents are burning out. We're burning out.
Flexible work hours isn't enough. How are there not leave options for parents of at home learners right now? Protected, paid leave?
How is it okay to ask parents to work full time, educate full time, parent full time, and more?

Telling parents to "take time for their mental health" right now is a farce. Kids are burnt out & so are their parents.
This growing mental health crisis - on @fordnation.
Women leaving the workforce - on @fordnation.
Take some accountability. DO SOMETHING.
