We need to stop blaming family doctors. Family docs continue to show up for Ontarians but it’s clear the healthcare crisis affects the whole system, incl family medicine. The issues driving the current crisis are complex. Family docs need more supports, not blame

Family docs are going above beyond to help. On top of regular clinics, many are adding hours in evenings/wkend, staffing provincial COVID assessment centres, doing ED shifts. All hands are on deck. 1.8M Ontarians don't even have a family doctor and this contributes to ED visits

Ministry of Education (who is also responsible for Child Care) sent a memo out last week directing centres to deny school age children space during the school day.
Because it is all about the kids, right?
Lecce gives not a fig about kids or families or clearly anyone’s rights

ALL OF THIS!
I am sick of this idea being thrown around. Immunity debt does not exist.

The amazing @DrSamiraJeimy and I collaborated on a post because we are both tired of seeing the term ‘immunity debt’ being thrown around.
We also get into why we are seeing a record number of pediatric hospitalizations, so stick with us.

Does anyone get the feeling that Lecce just assumes he will get whatever he wants?
He has officially spent more time on trying to strip workers rights. & silence worker voice than he ever did on negotiations.
@Sflecce get off the media & come talk to the workers
Education Minister Stephen Lecce says the provincial government is calling on the Ontario Labour Relations Board to officially declare a Friday walkout by tens of thousands of education workers illegal.

And we wonder why @fordnation is delaying a deal with CUPE.
Distraction, distraction, distraction.

NEW: Premier Doug Ford is set to loosen his Greenbelt promise.
The government wants to remove land from the Greenbelt to make room for 50,000 new homes -- new lands would be added elsewhere.

While you were busy worrying about your Charter Rights, Ford snuck through a further distribution of protected GreenBelt to his development buddies.
Unreal.

It makes no sense to say education workers are too important to allow them to strike, but not valuable enough to pay a living wage. The hypocrisy is a policy choice.

Exactly this.
The closures today and those upcoming are directly due to @fordnation and @Sflecce inability to negotiate in good faith. If you want someone to blame, blame them.

On July 25, @sflecce promised he would "keep schools safe and open" and that kids would have a "regular school year with in-person learning available from start to finish." It's November 4. He didn't even make it two months into the school year. Shame.

I’m heading to protest with @CUPEOntario members tomorrow. I hate protests. HATE. That’s how important this is. @fordnation weaponized your kids to beat down poor janitors and support workers then set aside their human rights because he wants to give their jobs away to his pals.
