Map has been updated with 2 ER closures in #Ontario in 1 week Everyday we scan the internet to track what @fordnation won’t Pls take this info to your family,friends,co-workers - someone you know and love will be profoundly affected by this malfeasance google.com/mymaps/viewer?…
Not-for-Profit HC still gets the job done. Imagine if @fordnation funded it as much as other provinces #onpoli #SavePublicHealthcare ottawacitizen.com/opinion/queens…
The investment of public dollars to enable a private for-profit delivery stream did not achieve either of its most basic objectives: increase surgeries and reduce wait times
Opinion: Private surgeries don’t resolve wait times calgaryherald.com/opinion/opinio… via @calgaryherald @Albertadoctors @AHS_media @CMA_Docs
The Ford government has a pattern of prioritizing the interests of wealthy, well-connected insiders over the needs of everyday Ontarians. The landfill proposed in Dresden could have lasting consequences for the land, water, and community. We need a full and independent…
NEW: Meet the bagman. Tony Miele is the top fundraiser for Doug Ford's PCs — & he’s quite good at it. He’s also a longtime “consultant” for developers. Sources, court & gov records shed light to @Thetrilliumca on why he’s known as such a powerful figure. thetrillium.ca/news/the-trill…
Patients ask "when will I get a hospital bed and out of ER" and I politely explain I have no idea. That's because Ontario has learned to do with less. "The current situation is not sustainable" said the Ontario Hospital Association. I agree. By @egpayne ottawacitizen.com/news/ontario-h…
Ontario ranks the lowest in Canada when it comes to per capita hospital spending. We'd need $4.4 billion more to catch up to the rest of Canada. We need more home care, rehabilitation, LTC and primary care. Ontario can't squeeze hospitals more. oha.com/Bulletins/FINA…
It's true that the federal government is not fairly sharing the health care costs of an aging, growing population. But that doesn't excuse the Ford government for contributing the least, per capita, of any province in Canada. thetrillium.ca/insider-news/h…

The cost of having the fewest beds & staff anywhere with a developed economy is measured in the 2,000 people on hallway stretchers, the 250,000 waiting for surgeries, the elderly whose care is rationed, the staff leaving in droves & rural ED closures. ottawacitizen.com/news/ontario-h…
The Federal Government must first get it in writing, from @fordnation and the likes before giving them more health care $$, and line by line what and how it was spent. No $$ for private Healthcare at all.
Fireplace chat notwithstanding: @MarkJCarney please don’t give @fordnation more money so he can profit his private sector pals at the expense of access to public healthcare
Dr Healy from Smiths Falls, Ontario. Come home.
Medical Doctor in New York sharing her experience with her personal health insurance coverage She estimates she’s pays about $5,000 per year for coverage and hasn’t used it in at least 3 years So after paying $15k, she went to the doctor one time, was charged $300 out of pocket…

Premier, you can’t fix a crisis by dodging responsibility for it. And you certainly can’t fix it when your government is known for: 1) Spending among the lowest per capita on health care in the country 2) Funnelling public dollars into private clinics We need to invest in…
Your choice Canada. Canadian universal health care, or Grifters, profiteers and potential for you to go bankrupt if you get sick. It really is that simple.
This needs to be said more often, it's true. 👇 Smith's UCP are deliberately tearing down public healthcare in Alberta. They aren't incompetent. This is no accident. Smith and the UCP are destroying healthcare to make money. This isn't gov't. They are grifters. We must stop them
Premier Kinew gets it. Universal health care is Canada’s superpower. Because of it, every Canadian is stronger. And every Premier that wants to take it away from you to line their buddy’s pockets should hang their head in shame - if they’re capable of shame.
Universal healthcare is who we are as Canadians. It’s one of the things that sets us a part from the U.S. and we should be proud of that. Let’s keep it strong and make sure it serves everyone, in every region. It’s our heritage, our legacy and something we should all be proud of.
Hello @MarkJCarney! THIS is essential to Canadians’ unity and confidence in the battle at hand. Improving and strengthening public healthcare is also way more economical than what premiers like Ford are doing to it.
‘a new poll suggests nearly all Canadians(89%)believe improving access to our universal health system should also be a key priority in building a stronger country’ 89%!!! Now that’s a mandate! Elbows AND ears @MarkJCarney … Elbows AND ears cma.ca/latest-stories…
Three Premiers couldn’t be bothered to show up for the group photo with Canada’s nurses this week: Smith, Moe and Ford.
A recent Auditor General report revealed there has been no reconciliation of $65 BILLION of healthcare funding in Ontario, going back for a least **FIVE YEARS**. When it came out, crickets.
Does anyone in 🇨🇦 actually care what the auditor general does? She literally just alleged corruption at a fund the gov refused to disclose over, which deadlocked parliament & forced an election…. Only for the public to re-elect the same people who just f*cked them.
Nobody paid attention to this one yesterday so for the people of #RichardsLanding &surrounding area, here it is again. The ER is CLOSED from 8am today until 8am Sun due to physician shortages AKA @fordnation & @SylviaJonesMPP ’ cruel disregard. We all matter or none of us do.

Citizen's Liz Payne highlights one of the Kafkaesque consequences of the fee for service billing system. No access to a physician and none to diagnostics. Many of those without doctors are the most marginalized. "We're working on it" is not good enough. ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
