Goodbye twitter-verse….for now….

GREAT NEWS today for patients left without eye care! @ONOptometrists are trusting the gov's promise that a FAIR deal is waitin to end their job action. I'll say it again. @fordnation & @celliottability make it a table worth being at! We CAN'T end up here again. #SaveEyeCare

BREAKING: OHIP eligible eye exams resume. Pleased to see the Ontario government & the @ONOptometrists finally seeing Eye to Eye! ⁦@celliottability⁩ Statement from Minister Elliott on Ongoing Negotiations with the Ontario Association of Optometrists news.ontario.ca/en/statement/1…

@l_stone I hope that after the years of neglect, this time the negotiations are serious and resolve the issue. Optometrists deserve to be fairly reimbursed for the important work that they do. Hoping this will #SaveEyeCare.

Ontario C.A.R.P. members are delighted to hear that OHIP eyecare services are being restored starting tomorrow! @OAOPresident & @celliottability news.ontario.ca/en/statement/1…

Let's resume being the mild mannered Optometrists we were. Be nice. Though this may be just a 'pause' if negotiations don't go well. #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Ontario #Toronto #Canada #DougFord

Thank you to all who supported us, like my MPP, @CFifeKW , and the many other MPPs and citizens who understand the importance of eye care. We have paused our job action for as long as fair negotiations are underway. #saveeyecare @celliottability @fordnation

@MonteMcNaughton @fordnation @PBethlenfalvy @JillDunlop1 @Andrea_Khanjin @douglasdowney @OntarioPCParty We also need vision care but thr @OntarioPCParty @celliottability @fordnation @RobinMartinPC don't give a shit about that! #saveeyecare

To build back a stronger Ontario, we need all hands on deck. Through the Second Career Program, we're helping people on social assistance, those who are self-employed, gig workers, youth and newcomers start meaningful careers with bigger paycheques. news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

Thank you @MikeSchreiner for highlighting the simple math to #SaveEyeCare! @celliottability why the delay tactics? This is an important issue that is simple to fix! #onpoli @john_vanthof @jamiewestndp @mppjimwilson @Kathleen_Wynne

It’s time to go from zero to hero. Let’s get this done! #SaveEyecare @celliottability @fordnation @LoganKanapathi @vincentkempp @Andrea_Khanjin @darylkramp @nowtoronto @StevenDelDuca @OntarioGreens @TheAgenda #Onpoli #Ontario #Optometry #Optometrists #DougFord

Please support a sustainable eyecare system in #Ontario!! #SaveEyeCare @krasheedmpp @RodPhillips01 @GregRickford @DavidPiccini #ONpoli

@VictorFedeli @OntNorthland Whether ironic or poetic... your constituents will remember your inaction to #saveeyecare! The fact that you refuse to meet your very own constituents to talk about the issue speaks volume! Stop hiding behind Twitter and generic email responses and do your job!

Whether ironic or poetic … the @OntNorthland test train passed seamlessly through the blizzards as we travelled in comfort, with a hot breakfast. Meanwhile, due to the weather, a section of Hwy. 11 was closed this morning. No way to travel south from Latchford!

@ToddSmithPC @MonteMcNaughton @PBethlenfalvy @JillDunlop1 Now maybe it's time you add finding a sustainable funding solution for eye care in your priorities? Voters will remember the inaction of the @OntarioPCParty! You guys are overachieving in incompetence! #saveeyecare

We're adding to Ontario's highly-skilled workforce by expanding the Second Career Program & extending the Ontario Jobs Training Tax Credit. This means that more people - in every region of Ontario - will be able to train for in-demand jobs. Learn more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

@VictorFedeli @OntNorthland @AlSpacek @corinasmoore @normmillerpc @OntarioPCParty Seniors can't drive because they don't see, adults with medical conditions can't work because they don't see and children can't learn because they don't see... and what do your government do f**** all! Stop being a puppet and tell @celliottability and @fordnation to #saveeyecare

@VictorFedeli @OntNorthland @AlSpacek @corinasmoore @normmillerpc Lets hope the train conductor has had his vision checked and doesn't fall into the categories of OHIP insured eye care! Several ontarians are affected by the inaction of the @OntarioPCParty when it comes to eye care! #saveeyecare

Today’s @OntNorthland test train is a promising sign for Northern Ontario. Once service is back, it will connect people to the region and unlock economic opportunities. Pleased to share the experience with Chair @AlSpacek, CEO @corinasmoore, @normmillerpc, and 7 Northern mayors.

@fordnation @MonteMcNaughton @DeepakAnandMPP @PBethlenfalvy Oh bullshit your government is cutting services from the most vulnerable! Look at the eye care crisis we are facing! @celliottability @RobinMartinPC and @fordnation are doing nothing! It's been several months seniors and children can't go to the eye doctor! #saveeyecare
