Let’s watch the election results on June 2! Let’s discuss how we will hold our MPPs accountable on their election promises! Register here: ona.zoom.us/meeting/register… @ontarionurses #onpoli #nursesvote
Repeal Bill 124 Now
Ontario’s hospitals have the fewest staff & beds in the developed world swamped by a growing, aging population. HCWs, exhausted, fall ill & many leave. Resources to increase staffing & beds, reduce workloads & increase salaries to encourage retention are urgently needed.

"When speaking with Ontario politicians, I make it clear that we cannot MAKE more nurses. To address our nursing shortage, we need to respect and protect the nurses who are already working. We need to retain nurses." - @CathrynOna #ONAPCM

Ontario health-care workers sound the alarm over ‘absolutely horrific’ hospital demand “Hospitals in the GTA that are running at 60 per cent staff and a 300 to 400 per cent capacity.” Some are calling for a flu/COVID strategy for the Fall. globalnews.ca/news/8926195/o… #onpoli

This is AB Hospitals right now. I am in a 4 person mixed gender room with toilet in the corner and a curtain that doesn’t provide any privacy. It’s a GI ward. The ward where input and output (and privacy) should matter. #shame #abhealth #abpoli

Repeal Bill 124 immediately
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is promising to negotiate fairly with the all public sector unions. In the last term his gov’t imposed Bill 124 on unions limiting their pay increases to 1% a year. That’s set to expire. #onpoli

If you are a nurse, and you are unhappy with the election results, it's time to ORGANIZE. Yes we are tired, but if we do not stand up for ourselves, no one will. Its time to get loud....

Y'all who just voted for another Doug Ford term better not come to our ERs yelling at nurses for extra long wait times in the hallway while having a heart attack. You had the opportunity to vote for change but you chose four more years of sorrow. I'm so disappointed. A sad day!

Welcome to #PrideMonth in #Ontario, where our Premier has consistently refused to march in #Toronto Pride parades, and is *currently* running a candidate who sat on the board of an openly homophobic church: xtramagazine.com/power/polit… #ONelxn

For a very rich province, Ontario has BELOW AVERAGE healthcare in comparison to all other provinces in Canada. This election, vote for the future of YOUR healthcare, because when you need it, it may not be there. #onpoli #publichealthcare
Ontario Funds Health Care at Lowest Rates in Canada We have the lowest health care funding per person, the fewest hospital beds per person and the fewest nurses per person. Tomorrow, cast your vote for well-funded public health care. #onpoli #ONelxn #publichealth

Always pleased to hear candidates that put healthcare first. Buildings and roads won't take care of you, skilled health professionals will. This is the time for CHANGE. @jillpromoli @StevenDelDuca #onpoli #publichealthcare

Ontario needs more leaders, like @Wayne_Gates, who are willing to meet with nurses and healthcare workers to discuss the root problem. On June 2, you will be voting for the future healthcare that you will or WILL NOT receive. @ontarionurses #onpoli #NursesHaveHadEnough

While the other three provincial parties are calling to end the privatization of long-term care, @fordnation is doubling down on privatization: investing $6.4 billion in nursing home chains with some of the highest COVID death rates! This is not "care." thestar.com/news/investigati…
