Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

Thank you Min. @SeamusORegan for recognizing the invaluable work of those who give care. We're looking forward to working together with the federal government on a National Caregiving Strategy that supports caregivers and care providers. #CdnCaregiving – at Toronto, Ontario

No economic growth or increase in productivity will be possible if we don’t support care workers and caregivers. Because they do the work that lets us all go to work.

“A perfect storm is brewing: demand for care is growing, #caregivers are aging, the number of available caregivers is shrinking, & care needs are becoming more complex due to our aging population & rising rates of disability & mental health conditions.” @FamilyCarersAB @Pts4Chg

It is an honour to chair the National Seniors Council. The NSC members are committed, smart, talented and hardworking. Together, working with the Seniors Secretariat, the Ministers @SeamusORegan @markhollandlib and their teams we are getting important work done!

The National Seniors Council advises our government on federal policies & programs for seniors. Because seniors & their advocates know it best. We had a lot to talk about this week - long-term care, dental care, better health care. Listening to them is how we’ll get this right.

Le Conseil national des aînés conseille notre gouvernement sur les politiques et les programmes fédéraux destinés aux aînés. Parce que les aînés et leurs défenseurs sont les mieux placés pour le savoir. C'est en les écoutant que nous réussirons.

According to a new report, ON needs another 6,800 PSWs in the next 5 years to maintain the current level of home-care service. To do this we must address the many issues that care providers face including low wages + burnout #CdnCaregiving @HomeCareOntario bit.ly/49Hnf9f

A 'senior tsunami' is about to hit Ontario and it needs more home-care workers, report says | CBC...

Ontario will see a spike in demand for home-care workers over the next few years as its population of seniors increases sharply, according to a new report by health economists.
