If an Ontario child receives their 1st dose on Nov 25, they will be eligible for their 2nd on Jan 20, with full immunity by Feb 3. The Ford govt must delay their plan to lift restrictions/remove mandates on Jan 17. Let's wait until children (including those <5) are protected.

He's already committed over $160,000,000 to families in

Why is our government saying NO?
❌ NO to affordable childcare?
❌ NO to supporting nurses?
❌ NO to appropriate wages for LTC staff?
❌ NO to accessing PCR and rapid tests?
❌ NO to using data to guide our covid response?

Imagine how many HEPA units, rapid tests, N95 masks, extra educators to support smaller class sizes, and outdoor learning spaces we could have gotten for $554 million. Instead,
@fordnation
and
@Sflecce
refused to invest in our schools and forced Ontario kids online.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Minister of Education of our country's largest province probably shouldn't be identifying your minor child by their image, name, grade, and school on a public twitter account followed by 61+ thousand people.

In Ontario, today I learned that it's efficient to spend $30,000 to tape and untape playground equipment, our Premier is missing yet was also embroiled in a lawsuit against film company, Covid lasts 3 days, and the pandemic will end September 25.
Anything else?

When anti-vaxxers were protesting outside hospitals and vaccination sites, health care workers still went to work and helped people. Ontario is in a time of crisis and our Premier (who has a second home in Toronto at his disposal and an OPP security detail) went to his cottage.

@OntLiberal
has hit a new low with this garbage.
The Premier and his family haven’t been able to get into their home for most of the weekend or today because anti-vaxxers have been protesting outside their house.

One of our favourite coffee shops just posted that they will be doing so- my reaction was delight! So grateful to see small businesses owners stepping up to protect their employees, customers, and communities.

Alternate headline: Ontario education minister who has consistently refused to invest in simple solutions (smaller classes, masks, access to testing, cleaner air) that could have given our kids stability, now suddenly realizes that Ontario kids thrive on stability.
