Who else thinks that instead of wasting millions of tax dollars on private, for-profit agencies to provide hospitals with temporary nurses...the Ontario government should just provide ALL nurses with proper wages, permanent jobs & benefits? ✋🏾

Men matter. I’m raising money for prostate cancer, the 2nd leading cause of death from cancer in men, & men’s mental health by running 60km. That’s 60km for the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour, every hour across the world. Support my movement #movember movember.com/m/14440133

We’ve only ever seen NBA players boycott a game ONCE. It was an exhibition game in 1961 and Bill Russell with a handful of other Celtics sat out in protest of racial injustice.. the fact we are still doing this 50 years later for the SAME THING should be incredibly telling.
