On the last day of winter, here's a little poem I wrote to celebrate Canada's winter! @CanadianPoets

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
One last time today, thank you for everything, George Springer ❤️

I had a hernia procedure a couple of years ago. A nurse I talked to was on her 3rd straight shift because she didn't want the patients to be without someone after their surgeries. Doug Ford is the worst boss in the world; everything is not fine in our Hospitals!

While Mark Carney appears to be fine arming a genocide, credit to @SeanCaseyLPC for standing up and speaking out against that indefensible position.
Charlottetown MP Sean Casey says he was demoted because he supported an NDP arms export control bill. In an interview with CBC News, Casey said PMO told him yesterday that's why he was removed from his role as parliamentary secretary. cbc.ca/news/politics/casey-r…

On Wednesday, Ontario's budgetary watchdog published a scathing report that explains why hallway healthcare has exploded and ERs are struggling.

TLDR: @fordnation got it done, alright. It just wasn't anything that anyone wanted ⬇️

With Bill C-39, the Carney government is asking workers to treat their bargaining power as a national liability while treating corporate access to uninterrupted profits and supply chains as the “national interest.”

We’ve been saying it for years - @fordnation and @PaulCalandra are starving our students and cutting resources from our classrooms. We need to fund our schools!
Ontario’s education system is receiving less funding per student after inflation, according to the province’s financial watchdog — a finding the government says doesn't provide the full picture. thestar.com/politics/ontario…

2,522 fewer nurses. 2,407 fewer hospital beds. Canada’s lowest hospital funding per person.
These are projections from Ont’s independent budget watchdog based on Ford’s own spending plan.
Yet somehow, when health care gets worse, Doug Ford is never accountable for any of it.
Ontario’s budgetary watchdog shows @fordnation’s healthcare mismanagement has reached new low:
❌Lowest hospital funding per person in Canada
❌1.9% funding shortfall just to maintain current services
❌2,522 fewer nurses by 2029
❌2,407 fewer beds by 2029;
So this is what it means to Protect Ontario … 🤔

Utter Incompetence! Ford is ignoring his primary responsibilities as Premier opting to use the government coffers to operate a business without shareholders. He should resign.
Doug Ford is spending more taxpayer money than any Ontario government in history and driving Ontario toward $600 billion in debt - yet the services Ontarians rely on are falling further behind.
Ontario’s fiscal watchdog projects health care, education, postsecondary education and social services will be a combined $9.9 billion short of what’s needed just to maintain current service levels by 2028-29.
Record spending. Record debt. Services falling behind.
It comes down to priorities. #onpoli
“Ontario does not have nurses to spare, not even one, and Hamilton certainly does not have nursing care to spare,” RNAO CEO Dr. @DorisGrinspun says in @TheSpec's story about Hamilton Health Sciences laying off 143 nurses. "It's on the backs of patients."

BREAKING:
Doug Ford's government is planning to cut 3.4% of Ontario's nurses over the next 2 years, according to the 2026 budget numbers.
Ann Armstrong retweeted
A spokesperson for Ontario Minister of Health Sylvia Jones is clearly lying, and should be reported as lying unless there is any proof that cutting 413 workers doesn’t change the services from those 413 workers.
Ann Armstrong retweeted
The “full picture” is worse.
We are also getting larger class sizes and worse results and money diverted to developers vs actual education.
