Job action has been PAUSED as the @OntarioPCParty has finally agreed to good faith negotiations for the eyes of #Ontario. Let’s hope @ONThealth and @celliottability do the right thing so we don’t end up in this mess again soon. Time to step up and #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #healthcare

They are here! The Paediatric Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines have arrived in #Ottawa and are being delivered to clinics, pharmacies and physicians as we write this tweet. We are so excited!

The @OntarioPCParty claims they are here for small businesses but at the same time are keeping #ontario optometrists the worst funded in 🇨🇦. If they would commit to us not having to subsidize care for them job action ends asap. Time to #SaveEyeCare @RaymondChoPC @StanChoMPP

Let's celebrate #Qptometry Week 2021 by getting funding for OHIP insured eye exams
out of the 1980's! @fordnation please call the OAO and move this file forward.
@Celliottability hasn't spoken to the OAO in ONE YEAR and her bureaucrats have been
MIA since 29 Aug '21 #SaveEyeCare

#Ontario Optometrists have woken up to the sad reality of how neglected we've been. We are tired of being ignored by each government. Time to fix this.
Equipment costs are significant and we need to keep up with other provinces

You say one thing then do another. Simply commit “we no longer need to subsidize eye exams” and job action ends now. Talks resume on how to achieve that (many options, no blank chq) #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Ontario #DougFord #Toronto

The @ONOptometrists have been down this road of broken promises before.Without a commitment to cover costs of the services you claim to fund under OHIP, mediation is just another way you will waste taxpayer money! #SaveEyeCare @krushowy @yowflier @alexboutilier @ChantalHbert

When #ophthalmology, #opticianry and #optometry agree on anything then @ONThealth should be paying attention. This is you eye care team speaking together. Time to pick up the phone @celliottability and bring both sides back to the table. @Aris_Babikian #SaveEyeCare #onpoli

Meanwhile, @celliottability says they're the ones waiting for optometrists to come to the table. But behind closed doors, @derabbie & the OAO haven't heard a PEEP in 2+ months.
This table also costs each side $15K/DAY to be at. For that, it better be a table worth being at.

If the Ontario govt thinks BC is a good model, they can commit to that model & job action will be over. BC doesn't FORCE Optometrists to pay out of pocket for the care they deliver. @ToddSmithPC left that part out. #SaveEyeCare @CBCHamilton @CBC_TOCommunity

Do you honestly think Optometrists are immune from inflationary pressures? Get your head out of the sand! Take this seriously!!! #saveeyecare #onpoli
drwinnOD retweeted
So let's understand that correctly: minimum wage rightly rises with inflation, but eyecare does not? @fordnation @celliottability
#SaveEyeCare
BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford will increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour on Jan. 1, the @TorontoStar has learned. It is now $14.35. After it’s at $15, it will rise at the inflation rate every October.

How can #Optometrists continue to pay their staff a #livingwage if the #OHIP fees continue at 1989 levels 🦖 The fees are NOT doctor salary-they are supposed to cover the cost to deliver an exam (incl staff w #minimumwage going up) #ONpoli #smallbusiness #dougford #SaveEyeCare

FACT: the Ministry of Health stayed in mediation with the Ontario Association of Optometrists for 2 days before THEY (THE MOH) walked away from the table in August. #SaveEyeCare #Optometry #ONpoli #DougFord @samoosterhoff

The government now admits they don’t provide the dollars it costs us to provide an eye exam. So they need to stop bragging that they are the only province who funds eye exams, because they DON’T. @birgitomo @mynamesnotgordy #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Ontario #Toronto #Canada

Are you one of the ~140M people who wear contact lenses? 👀
Happy birthday to Czech chemist Otto Wichterle—who invented the first set of soft contact lenses from his very own home!

Can you stop pretending and saying that you fund eye care in ON? You don’t. It’s just sad now that @ToddSmithPC has admitted you don’t. Step up and #SaveEyeCare #onpoli @JillDunlop1 @celliottability @VictorFedeli @AmyFeePC

Ontarians shouldn't have to leave the province to receive eye care. Ontario Liberals continue to call on Doug Ford to get back to the table with @ONOptometrists. Our province needs a deal so more patients aren't left behind. #onpoli

Actually @celliottability already knows what would get the deal done. Just put this in writing. What’s the hold up? Why hasn’t @onthealth contacted @ONoptometrists since Aug 29th? #insincere @carlyaluis @RobinMartinPC
