Following the 2025 safe consumption site closures in Toronto, between April/25-Jan/26 there was an 82% increase in suspected overdose calls received by Toronto EMS. So Ontario - what do you want your ERs doing that could be done elsewhere?

In the @TorontoStar, RNAO President & #NP @LhamoDolkar2023 and CEO @DorisGrinspun sound the alarm. They say that Premier @fordnation and Health Minister @SylviaJonesMPP have been moving Ontario toward profitization. #Onpoli
For nurses, health care is a universal right, not a business. There is a better path. Ontario can reduce wait times and strengthen equity by reinforcing — not abandoning — the public, not for profit system.

President Trump's war on #Nursing is oppressive. #NursingNotes
Canadian nurses stand with #USA #nurses & invite all #Nurses in the 🌎 to do the same. Educational preparation, knowledge, and evidence-based compassionate care = Improved clinical and health system outcomes for people.
President Trump's war on #Nursing is insane at a time when the USA is suffering from a #NursingShortage 🔥
Come to #Canada: We are ready to help you grow a #NursingCareer 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁
