We are ready to welcome ALL refugees fleeing Ukraine, as we always are to those fleeing war/conflict, e.g. Syrian, Afghan, Eritrean, Rohingya.. We condemn the racist violence against black & brown people at Poland's borders, and urge Canada to include non-citizens for temp visas!

A local resident walks past the convoy with a sign in counter protest.
I suspect many people are close to or past their breaking point. This is a tinderbox situation, and not the fun kind of Tinder.

COVID or not, recognizing nurses with intl experience in our health system is long overdue -bit.ly/33up78B

While Ontario continues to add hospital beds & build up health workforce to cope with the crisis, it's high time we expedite the licensing of Int'l trained doctors in the province.
Happy to see 2000 #IENs being deployed soon
