So let me get this straight. The Ontario government would rather spend millions on funding private, for-profit agencies to supply hospitals with nurses who are precariously employed…rather than provide ALL nurses with fair wages, permanent jobs, benefits, and work-life balance?

Ontario has become a province where it’s citizens have little power to over its Government. @fordnation won’t listen to the pleas of Ontarians. We DO NOT want our healthcare system or education system privatized.

It can’t be said enough: Private for-profit healthcare will only pull health workers away from our already collapsing public healthcare system and make our understaffing crisis even worse. Private for-profit healthcare is not the answer. Investing in public healthcare is.

UPDATE June 3: Only about 22% of Ontario actually voted for Doug Ford, 59% of those that voted DID NOT vote for him and only about 43% of Ontario voted at all. This is our un-democratic First Past the Post system @FairVoteCanada

A lot of Americans on here don't understand the First Amendment limits the government — not private entities— from restricting free speech. What some people are actually asking for is standards to be changed for hate speech to not have consequences.

Retweet if you agree that Ontario needs to end the wage suppression of nurses during this deadly pandemic where many people are suffering & dying due to a shortage of nurses. #RepealBill124

❄️Our toy shelves are full! Thanks to our generous donors, we’ve reached our maximum capacity for toys this year and will no longer be able to accept toys until the New Year. SickKids also continues to not accept any in-person drop-offs of toy donations or entertainment.

Ontario already had to suffer through a version of the Hunger Games just to get vaccines. So...Can someone please explain to me why the people of Ontario now have to also suffer through the Hunger Games: Rapid Test Edition?

Canada's Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is safe today because two members of her staff are isolating after receiving positive rapid test results. If this doesn't prove how important having access to rapid tests are for every Canadian, nothing will.

By voting against #PaidSickDays the Ontario government is sending a clear message to all essential workers. Your work is essential. Your lives are not. If not a pandemic, what will it take? #EssentialLives

While billionaires are spending $2.8 million a minute to spend 10 minutes in space, a child reminds us of our sense of humanity.
