BREAKING: The Ontario government has once again voted against #PaidSickDays.
In total, our government has now voted against paid sick days 27 times since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, our palliative care team met a man in a shelter who was called "non-compliant" because he wasn't taking his meds.
We developed trust & learned: He didn't know how to read…so he couldn't read the labels on his pill bottles.

Speechless. Who do you call when the police are your attackers? Where do you live when the police rip your home to pieces? Who are we as a nation when we treat our most vulnerable in this way? #Encampment #TorontoPolice #DefundThePolice
