Trump is trying to bully our allies Canada, Colombia, Denmark, and Panama, threatening tariffs if they don't do what he says. Really? What about imposing tariffs on drug companies that charge us 10 times more than other countries pay for the same drug?

On the eve of calling an election the Premier announces a plan to address recruiting family doctors? He can fast track beer in convenience stores or development in the Greenbelt, but addressing the 2.5 million Ontario's without a family physician is a last minute afterthought?

Waiting for years to announce this funding and then announcing only a plan to implement a plan within four years from now smacks of political manipulation on an issue that should never be used as something with which a political party plays politics.

I asked @fordnation why he’s prioritizing maps for booze over maps for family doctors. Knowing I wouldn’t get a good answer, I prepared a map of my own: the top ten @OntarioPCParty ridings with the most people without a family doctor. They didn’t like that. #onpoli #onhealth

Mr Lilley fails to mention pesky details like in Kingston, the privatization of cataract surgery cost 56% more than in a public hospital. Conservatives have a mental block investing in public institutions when someone can skim from the public purse - 1/2 torontosun.com/opinion/column…

JDRF: Can’t lift a finger to help diabetics who can’t afford insulin. Also JDRF: “Here’s a multi-million dollar marketing rebrand!!!!!!” …Now off to the post office to mail insulin from a diabetic who recently passed to a diabetic who’s currently rationing it to survive!

My favourite poster from today’s protest against the privatization of our public health care at Queen’s Park. @onpoli @OntarioHealthC

@maverick_202203 @OntarioHealthC We don’t have a duplicate workforce to support both. The private hospitals take their staff from our public hospitals. Which leaves our public hospitals with less funding & staff to provide care while increasing wait times.

@OntarioHealthC why cant we have both?

Just making our way to Queen’s Park! 1000s of people are here to show that the people opposes the privatization of our health care!

@RutmanBen @OntarioHealthC Do you not have personal days? Not everyone works Monday to Friday 9-5.

@OntarioHealthC Do you people not work? Generally curious how you get a day off to do this.

@BannedAgain3x @OntarioHealthC The Ford government is starving the public health care system. Pushing them into service closures and deficits, while funding for-profit hospitals and clinics with increases up to and over 300%. They are intentionally breaking the public system to privatize.

@OntarioHealthC Why do you want to keep a system that doesn't work? Are you proud of a system that has people die in waiting rooms and on cots in hallways? Are you proud of a system that allows treatable cancer to become a death sentence because of wait times?

Are you coming TODAY to tell Ford to stop privatizing our public health care? #toronto-#saultstemarie-#thunderbay-#dryden-#ottawa-#cornwall-#northbay Exact locations & times in image 👇 Tune in for live tweeting at 12 pm noon! #PeopleOverProfit #onpoli #onhealth

“Human rights should not only exist for those privileged enough to hire lawyers," they added, a likely reference to several delegates who spoke out against online voting and were acknowledged as clients of a municipal lawyer who also addressed council earlier in the evening.

Beer in "corner" stores (at a cost of up to $1 billion) is coming- priority 1 accomplished. But putting 1,300 patients on stretchers in hospital hallways into beds - a number that has swollen since the 2022 campaign commitment to end the practice, has no end in sight.

The Ford government has spent $310K on a new space for press conferences, despite there already being a taxpayer funded media studio available in Queen's Park. The difference is journalists are not limited in the number of questions they can ask in the media studio but apparently will be in the new ``communications centre' according to reporting from @allisonjones_cp toronto.citynews.ca/2024/03/28/ont…

@AmaraFarmServ @leanneschaefe12 @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP Where do you think the second workforce will come from? We already have a staffing crisis in our public hospitals. @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP need to fund our public system so that it can run at full capacity.

@leanneschaefe12 @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP I don’t think this is a bad thing. People who want to pay can use the private healthcare and people who don’t will have access to public healthcare still that maybe won’t be quite as busy?

Fucking wow…. 😮 it is now in the public. ⁦@fordnation⁩ ⁦@SylviaJonesMPP⁩ 🤬🤬🤬🤬

The budget: not enough to improve hospital staffing & capacity; not enough to respond to population growth & aging; not enough to stop ER closures, reduce surgical waitlists, or seriously address hallway healthcare. Just enough funding to maintain a perpetual crisis of care.

Just the worst governance possible. “In the last five years, the Ministry of Finance has brought in close to 30 measures to reduce its own revenues. All told, those changes drained no less than $7.7 billion from the provincial treasury in 2023-24.”
