There's a serious uncovered news story in the GTA with ERs facing 50-100 patients waiting to be seen - a sustained surge since Labour Day - and 10 hour waits to see a doctor. We could use some coverage of this because it's still pre-respiratory season peak. It's going to be bad.

Correct. You need adequate #s of MDs to support a dual system. Sweden has that. Canada does not.
Sweden has twice as many doctors as Canada per capita. We can’t just lift and shift a policy / initiative from one country to another. And they say contracted out surgeries were 40% less expensive? Something fish happening. We pay double in Canada for contracted out surgeries. Maybe the Feds need to do another commission on the role of private delivery in health. Look at all the evidence again (it’s been done before and didn’t look good). theglobeandmail.com/business…

That's rich, for Poilievre to say to @RosieBarton, "Mothers drop on their knees and begging for food," when he and his party have voted against any legislation the Liberal govt has introduced to help Cdns

BREAKING: $618,000 in taxpayer dollars to rename Science Centre Station.
Add that to:
➡️$700 million to build a new Science Centre.
➡️Millions spent on temporary science exhibits.
➡️Millions more to decommission the original Science Centre.
And what is the cost to an entire generation of young people losing access to what was once one of the world’s greatest science centres?

Cost to rename Science Centre Station adds up to more than $600K: documents cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/…

A court found the government acted unlawfully after denying Alex Shved, a cancer patient, potentially life-saving treatment.
Instead of following the court’s ruling and sparing Alex’s life, Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones changed the law. That demands answers.

For the past 25 years, the House Hippo has helped teach Canadians to always check the facts of what they see on TV and online.

I’m perfectly fine with my child-free taxes contributing to your children’s education, meals, and healthcare. I’m also happy to help fund your mother’s cancer treatment and your cousin’s insulin. That’s what a functioning society should look like. You’re welcome.

Dear Prime Minister:
Please do whatever it takes to guarantee that federal funding for poverty isn't abused and misallocated by provincial governments.

Imagine seeing a report that says it’ll cost $500K to fix the Science Centre, deciding it’s too much, and then spending over a BILLION instead to replace it.
That’s the stunning, reckless ineptitude of Doug Ford’s @OntarioPCParty in a nutshell.
guys the actual costs to remediate the high-risk panels at the original Science Centre and keep the building open was cited as $522,500 - according to the governments engineering report they used as an excuse to shut it down infrastructureontario.ca/49e…

Doug Ford treats Ontario’s teachers the same way he treats our doctors and nurses. He’s deliberately gutting our public health care and our public education to pave the way for privatization.
Every Canadian deserves excellent public health care. How quickly you get the care you need should never depend on how much you can afford to pay.

We'll need strict oversight of the Premiers or this money will disappear like the missing Covid cash Doug Ford already stole.

"Letters meant to educate"
Total bullshit.
For the record, I'm not one of those affected. One of my ER colleagues was.
She was and is intimidated.
She works in four ERs and usually on short notice to prevent them from unanticipated closures.
@Fordnation should be sending her a fruit basket - not trying to scare the shit out of her.
