23,000 children were on the waitlist to access autism services when the Ford government pledged to clear it in 2019. Now it's almost tripled to 60,000. Advocates call it a glaring injustice "these are real lives, families with real challenges." Full story: toronto.citynews.ca/video/20…

No one knows the true state of health care in Ontario the way nurses do. The days of nurses carrying the load & being disrespected are over. They’re speaking out with an insider’s perspective on the collapse of public health care: nursestalktruth.ca/ #onpoli #NursesTalkTruth

While you & your loved ones face long wait times and hallway health care… Ontario’s corrupt Conservatives are spending more than $650 MILLION in public money on a private luxury spa in downtown Toronto. Enough. Stop the deal and invest to fix our health care system. #ONpoli
There once was an promise to “end hallway healthcare” in Ontario. Now hallway healthcare is what we’re told to expect.

When we organize together, WE WIN! Just ask the 50 ONA public health nurses who acted in unity to score a significant win in their six-week strike against employer @HPEPublicHealth. ONA stands ready to show up and fight for better wages, better staffing, & better care! #onlab

Your party cut $335 million in mental health spending within 2 months of forming government in 2018. Actions speak louder than empty words. thestar.com/politics/provinc… #Nepean #onpoli
Today is World Mental Health day, a day to help end the stigma surrounding mental health and create awareness. I encourage all of us to take time today to support those around us. Because mental health is health and our government is supporting the health of all Ontarians.

Three major healthcare unions have come together to sign a solidarity pledge at Queen’s Park, to protect the system from “privatization driven by the Ford government. As dangerous staffing levels go from bad to worse, our unions are pledging solidarity to save Ontario hospitals.”

We've been waiting 15 months for the Ford Conservative govt to engage in "spirited discussions" at the bargaining table – & we're still waiting. #CatholicTeachers have been ready since day 1 to discuss key issues critical to #onted students. Why hasn’t @Sflecce? 🤔 #onpoli

“Although I’ve seen Minister Lecce quite a bit on social media and in media interviews, he hasn't seen fit to reach out to me in person for a meeting in two years. And I’ve only spoken with the Premier twice. Facts matter. And good faith bargaining matters!” #onpoli

"No one wants #OntEd to be treated like the greenbelt… for sale to the highest bidder. The govt continues to shortchange education & views schools as “real estate assets” & not as vital community spaces that bring ppl together to learn & collaborate." #OSSTF Pres @karenosstf

Two weeks ago, #ETFO and @OECTAProv filed unfair labour practice complaints with the OLRB, asserting the Ford government violated its legal obligation to bargain in good faith by implementing PPM 168, as this was a topic of discussion at the bargaining table. Prior to the start of the OLRB hearing, which was scheduled for this week, the Crown made an offer to settle the complaints. In our view, this is a – belated, but welcome – recognition by the government that the unilateral implementation of PPM 168 contravened collective agreements, violated the statutory freeze period during bargaining, and circumvented the bargaining process. #onted READ ETFO & OECTA'S FULL STATEMENT: bit.ly/3EahJ18

According to TVO's financial statements, in 2011 its base government funding was $43,376,000. ($57,147,880 in 2023 dollars). In 2022, it was $38,303,000. This year it is $36,767,000. #FundTVOLikeItMatters #onpoli @TVO_CMG
TVO workers should be paid fairly, never be stuck in precarious jobs and be valued for the work they do.

More evidence of the increased need for student supports across #onted... Yet @Sflecce & @FordNation CONTINUE to deprive our publicly funded schools of these critical supports & resources, & the funding our students NEED to succeed & thrive! 🫤 #CatholicTeachers #onpoli
