Job action has been PAUSED as the @OntarioPCParty has finally agreed to good faith negotiations for the eyes of #Ontario. Let’s hope @ONThealth and @celliottability do the right thing so we don’t end up in this mess again soon. Time to step up and #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #healthcare

Saw my wonderful optometrist yesterday. I am relieved to have my eye conditions checked. I sure hope the province gets this right. #SaveEyeCare

Services will be back for seniors, youth and recipients of OHIP covered eyecare starting tomorrow. I will be using my voice in the Legislature to tell the Premier to bargain in good faith, to stay at the table and ensure these services won't be lost again #onpoli #eyecareontario

Pausing the twitter campaign (for now). Hopefully we don't have to start it up again. #SaveEyeCare

Thank you for your support @JessicaBellTO . This is such an easy fix (one sentence they have already agreed with). They are using “heavy-handed tactics” as their own PC caucus member said. They care more about highways than our vision. #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Ontario #Toronto

We’ve waited 30+ years….we can keep at this for a looong time, although we don’t want to. Why not skip to the endgame so our children and seniors can access the eyecare they deserve. #SaveEyeCare #Onoptometrist

I wonder if @fordnation thinks solving the eyecare crisis in Ontario would help or hurt his favorability numbers...#SaveEyeCare Decades of neglect...Yours to fix! @celliottability @OntarioPCParty

Sleepless nights aren’t any fun are they @RobinMartinPC? I thought it was because I’m old but now realize it’s because I have to pay to work and am tossing and turning worrying about the #patients I can’t see! Ask @celliottability and @fordnation to #SaveEyeCare. I want to sleep!

@GilaMartow @eyedoktor71 @UWaterloo Thank you for being the voice of reason in this government. @RobinMartinPC thinks it's conflict of interest, but I would argue you're the best person to advocate for optometrists since neither of @fordnation @celliottability truly understand what we do and our value #SaveEyeCare

@celliottability I have Retinitis Pigmentosa. Thanks to ongoing care from my optometrist I remain a functioning member of society. On the off chance you have the fortune to not require such care, please know, there are many whose lives depend on it. #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #DougFord

Hey @JoelHardenONDP can I get a retweet? Now over a week since the @OAOPresident gave @celliottability his personal number. If she is committed to creating a ‘fair deal’ with Optometrists pick up the phone. Why hasn’t she? #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Ontario #Toronto #DougFord #Canada

are caught early and treated. My family has a history of eye disease. Early detection and treatment are vital. I value optometrists. @fordnation time to step up!

@MacLeodLisa I am wondering why you have not tabled any of the signed petitions for #SaveEyeCare. People of Nepean deserve to know why their voices aren't being heard. Why don't you care about eyecare for seniors and children? @celliottability @fordnation

.@celliottability claims they have been negotiating with Optometrists. This is the real truth, and it's actually been 3 months now. She has the president's personal number. Call now. @libbyznaimer @OLPWarRoom @OntariosDoctors @ODSPAction #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Ontario #DougFord

I have yearly optometrist appts because I suffered a retina detachment. Those appts are important. Prior to the detachment I had laser surgery on both eyes due to holes. Yearly appts ensure that any problems #Optometrists #onpoli #SaveEyeCare #OHIP #EyeCareIsHealthCare

Can a MPP ask @celliottability why she refused to coauthor a cost study in Dec 2020 re Optometrists? @FaisalHassanNDP @CFifeKW @maritstiles @JoelHardenONDP @jennkfrench @Judith_NDP @SaraSinghMPP @mppPaulMiller @shaw_sandy @Peter_Tabuns #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Toronto #DougFord

In case you forgot @fordnation #SaveEyeCare

Ontario in standoff with optometrists over exam fees | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/8388315/o… #onpoli it's time to get back to negotiating an investment in #eye health

@drgeorgehannaOD @eyedoktor71 @OntarioPCParty @Effie_ONB @DaisyWai_MPP @billwalkermpp @JYakabuskiMPP @JeffYurekMPP Save Our Eyesight!! Didn't think we'd have to beg for this to be funded in Ontario, one of the richest provinces in Canada. #cdnpoli #SaveEyeCare #onpoli Remove Doug Ford asap.
