Thousands of seniors died of Covid in long-term care homes. Those in for-profit long-term care homes were 2x as likely to die. Ford tried to protect these homes from lawsuits with Bill-218. With this ruling, at least some families will have their day in court. #ONpoli

These are just some of the services your city council controls & which you have a say over through democratically electing your councillor. Ford's plan to remove the voices of Ontarians in how these services are delivered sets a dangerous precedent for democracy in our country.

With ERs closing due to staff shortages and hospitals facing financial challenges, this govt allocated $60M for MedsChecks this past year. Pharmacists note that the pressure to conduct more MedsChecks is impacting their quality of care. Is this the best use of $60M? #ONpoli
