Ontario's Financial Accountability Office (FAO) confirms Mar 2, 2022 that the hardhearted Ford has hoarded an astounding $5.5B over the first 3 quarters of 2021, short-changing "other programs" ($2.28B), health ($1.29B) and children’s and social services ($1.2B)
The FAO.../2

When recruiting Black people for organizations where they have been historically excluded it’s important to not frame the ask as an opportunity for the Black person. It’s actually an opportunity for the org to experience ignored brilliance.
At live stream of book launch, From Sovereignty to Solidarity: Rethinking Human Migration. Excellent presentation!!! @haraldbauder @RC1S

The #OntarioElection is weeks away and Ford is on track for a majority. That will mean a war on the environment, the marginalized, affordable housing, healthcare, public education, women, the likes of which we have not seen. Get Busy!

The last time @ongov waited to see how bad things would get before acting they ended up imposing capacity restrictions, delaying school reopening and surgeries were cancelled.
Now is the time to :
-promote & ramp up shot 3(&4)
-encourage shot 1&2 for 5-11
-put masks back on

Just finished my 7th consult in < 24 h for a patient admitted (FOR) acute #Covid19. Every one of them unvaccinated or immune-suppressed. Wastewater signal up + masks down ain't a good combo. Ontario, your next wave is now. Pay attention. Please.

BREAKING March 23: 20-30000 cases a day in Ontario and rising. Think of this and #LongCovid brain damage et al when you think of your safety #CovidIsNotOver

NEW: Bullet points from Science Table modelling:
wastewater signals have stopped declining, increasing slightly
Hospital, ICU cases have stopped declining, will likely increase but less than in Jan 2022
Masks still effective-note they'll be a choice in most settings as of Monday

Two studies released this week demonstrate that masking significantly reduces COVID transmission in school
I haven’t seen the evidence which supports simultaneously dropping nearly all COVID mitigation strategies in elementary schools filled with un/under vaccinated students.

Making mask wearing the individual responsibility of the people most affected by COVID is a deadly consequence of how neoliberalism has worked to destroy social and collective responsibility. This goes against all that was learned about safer practices in the AIDS crisis.

A little surreal that we’re in the second-deadliest period of the entire two-year pandemic, and also very clearly in the “welp, time to wrap it up” phase of the public health response.

BREAKING: To help Ontario students with tomorrow’s #ONStorm, the Ford Government will be sending 3000 additional shovels and some guy named Merv to schools. Also, each student will take home two Farmers’ Almanacs to check the weather themselves.

it is -30 in toronto tonight. and this was picture of the TTC last night taken by @fatnmostly. do not look away — this is canada’s failure on housing as a human right. we need all levels of government to end homelessness now.
