The true motives of @fordnation and the @OntarioPCParty are uncovered…again. Unbelievable and unacceptable that public funds are being used to pay for private heath care at the expense of publicly funded health care. @CUPE_Media @CUPEOntario

CBC: Premier Doug Ford's government gives a for-profit clinic more funding to perform certain OHIP-covered surgeries than it gives Ontario's public hospitals to perform the same operations, CBC News has learned. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…

The math is simple: 6.8% is significantly less than 17.3%. The Ford government is critically underfunding education across this province and our kids are paying the price. #onpoli #OntEd

So you voted for Ford because you wanted a balanced budget? You got 4.6 Bill deficit. Or, because you wanted less scandal? You got the #GreenbeltScandal et al. Or because you couldn't afford life? You're poorer than ever? Time for a change #Ontario

November 4, 2022 was a day that will go down in the history books. Following Doug Ford’a anti-worker Bill, which used the notwithstanding clause, CUPE OSBCU Education Workers took the brave step and walked off the job in an illegal strike! #WorkerPowerGetsTheGoods

Priorities, amirite? Can also think of an emergency room in Minden that needs $650 million more than a private spa company at Ontario Place does. While Ford pampers spa users, our school kids fend for themselves thestar.com/opinion/contribu… #topoli #onpoli #onted

The premier will spend $400 million to build a parking garage for spa users, while scrimping on basic educational materials in Ontario’s schools.

While Doug Ford & the Conservatives fight in court to keep nurses wages frozen, more & more are leaving. That means nurses are even more overwhelmed then before. I'm calling on the government to start respecting nurses. Pay them a decent wage. #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…

More than 1,000 principals across Ontario say they're seeing more behavioural issues, lack of self-regulation, and unaddressed mental health challenges with no access to social workers and psychologists, a survey finds. cbc.ca/news/canada/london/te…

Walk the halls of an elementary or high school these days, and you'll see anxious kids, many unable to regulate their emotions, fearful from the lasting effects of the pandemic and unable to cope.
