Thank you @beynate for visiting us again, and listening to Northern rural concerns. We need an OLP with competent, compassionate leadership that acts with integrity. That’s why I’m behind you.
Happy New Year!!🎉🎉 Announced back in Nov. but Tuesday is my first day. Looking forward to joining an amazing team dedicated to providing excellent rural healthcare to our community. #NSHN

Influenza season is here. Protect yourself and others by getting your flu shot from a participating pharmacy or primary care provider in the community. Today, members of the OHA rolled up their sleeves for their annual vaccination. #getyourflushot
Our hospital system continues to be fragile. With this triple threat and so many worn out frontline healthcare workers, we need the public’s help now more than ever. Please, please wear a mask, stay home when you are sick, and sanitize your hands as often as possible!
Exhausted healthcare heroes, to say nothing of our children, need us all to be responsible and vigilant as this “three headed monster” puts even more strain on our system. Stay home when sick, mask up when indoors, and wash your hands often.
I live and work in Robinson-Huron Treaty Territory and know the TRCC reminded us we are all Treaty peoples. Some argue Treaties are Canada’s first constitution. This Treaty Week is a great time learn about the Treaty where you live. The @AnishNation has shared good resources:

Great discussion here. Happy to see my grad school colleague @alisonbraley continue to eloquently discuss labour issues!

Very sad to hear about the passing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He leaves behind an incredible legacy of fighting for justice, and an example to follow for people around the world. My condolences to his family.

We can’t vaccinate our way out of the 5th wave, but it’s an incredibly important tool to blunt it. Please get vaccinated, wear a mask, keep your distance, and limit exposure to those outside your household. #onpoli
On Monday, Ontarians over 18 become eligible to book their COVID-19 booster shot. Please make an appointment. This is an important step to protect each other against the Omicron variant, and to help keep our schools and small businesses open. #onpoli

With all new variants I think the precautionary approach should prevail. I wish the gov’t of Ontario did too. We are now putting in poorly considered half measures for an airborne virus that is in its most transmissible form yet, all a week before Christmas. #onpoli
No evidence that Omicron is less severe, new @imperialcollege study reports

We need more access to these kits in the north and rural north in particular. This is an important tool to keep out communities safe. #onpoli

We need to stop the fifth wave now. Our @OntLiberal plan:
➡️Immediately expand booster eligibility
➡️24/7 vaccination clinics
➡️Make free rapid tests available
➡️High quality masks & improved ventilation
➡️Implement 10 paid sick days

Stable and predictable funding is key for capacity to respond to public health emergencies. Municipalities are important partners and funders of local public health agencies, but the Government of Ontario needs to step up too. #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/p…
Violence against women has only increased during the pandemic. This year 58 women and girls have been murdered by men in Ontario alone. We need to say these names to remember, but we must all take action to stop this on-going violence. #EcolePolytechnique
Ontario needs a mature discussion on post secondary capacity. Laurentian University is crisis created by perverse incentives and lack of capacity planning. Post secondary education is too important to be left to market based approaches. #onpoli
Ontario colleges increasingly depend on high international student tuition fees to stay afloat, a "risky formula" that could jeopardize their long-term survival, according to a new report from the province's auditor general. bit.ly/32OGTmy

Doug Ford has been abusing his power with Ministerial Zoning Orders to bypass environmental protections and reward his rich friends. An @OntLiberal government will scrap MZOs, while fast-tracking affordable housing and nonprofit nursing homes. #onpoli
