It is expected that the Ford Government will pass #Bill7 today, having completely bypassed any public consultation on this controversial Bill. Read more about how this Bill will make life worse for Ontarians, while failing to address the #healthcareCrisis ona.org/news-posts/202…

Skipping public input of something that affects so many of our loved ones is very wrong.

Sad how quickly the Ford government reverted to their old ways. A bill this significant, vague, and life altering for many deserves public hearings and to be debated by other parties. #onpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

My statement on dissolution of the Science Table:

A reminder that the Ford government spent $1.8 billion less than planned on health care in the last fiscal year. The Ford government’s plan: Step 1 - Starve a system of its needed funding & resources Step 2 - Privatize to “save” said system. #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@mynamesnotgordy Mr Ford you are full of BS. You did not ask every Ontarian any such thing. You and your party are horrendous for even thinking the majority want your scheming and lying fix to Healthcare. Shame on you! @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP

Doug Ford announces Ontario to deliver healthcare services at pop-ups at Loblaws stores under the Joe Fresh brand. Ford says he’s spoken to every Ontarian and they all told him they wanted easy access to health services and affordable jeans, says Joe Fresh Health™ to open soon.

Pssst @SylviaJonesMPP see I told you there is a health crisis @fordnation @NursesWant @ontarionurses @NurseWithSign

This is not want Ontarians need! We need more Tommy's than Doug's that premote and have a stellar vision of Public Healthcare! #keepourhealthcarepublic @NatalieMehra1 @fordnation

On the first full day of this new parliament, Ford and his health minister went from denying the health care crisis to finally admitting that they're prepared to use it to make the case for privatization. The threat is real and we need to stop it in its tracks. #onpoli

It's been their PC plan for decades, a few liberal wins got in the way. They have now neglected nurturing our Health Care System for years. They are a disgrace to our province and nation. @ontarionurses @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP #repealbill124

Can’t stop, won’t stop.

Probably the major reason Canadians survived the 2008 crash better is #Medicare

Due to recent Emergency Department closures in our region, The Ottawa Hospital’s Emergency Departments will likely experience higher-than-usual patient volumes, which will result in much longer wait times. [1/4]

Imagine: Your child is in the hospital. They turn blue. You call for help, and no one comes. This is the state of healthcare in Ontario. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Weekend rounds at the hospital. Every unit seems to be short on nurses. Several of my patients are medically ready to go home but cannot get the home care they need. These aren't accidents. They're the results of Ford and Elliott and Jones' policies.

An ICU remains closed. They've not been able to re-open as there are no nurses to run the unit safely. Don't let any leader deceive you that 9 out of 10 people are getting the care they deserve. Lies!!! Demand better! Listen to frontline nurses. We have the solutions.

You’ve heard of the 7 stages of grief Here are the 4 stages of @fordnation 1 “Every things ok, we’ve got this” 2 “Our plan is working” 3 “It’s not my fault, it’s …( insert teachers, workers, Feds…) 4 “We’re taking bold action …” Rinse and repeat

I challenge Premier @fordnation and Health Min. @SylviaJonesMPP to spend a day in the ER observing and talking to patients and healthcare workers. I doubt they’d be able to continue their “everything is A-OK!” rhetoric after that... at least with a straight face. #onpoli
