Today @fordnation responded to a meeting request from ONA President Cathryn Hoy to say that he is too busy to fit us in. We’d love to know what Premier Ford considers more pressing than the worst nurse staffing crisis this province has ever seen. We've been sounding the alarm...

Privatization is death by a thousand cuts. A critical staffing shortage. ER closures. Longer wait times. A gamble on privatization. Under @fordnation watch, public health-care isn’t getting better—it’s bleeding out. Take action: #nursestalktruth #onpoli

Privatization: Hard to swallow. @Fordnation says that privatizing health care will be good for Ontario. He’s wrong. For-profit care will drain away public money for private profits…and we’ll all pay the price. Take action: #NursesTalkTruth #ONpoli

The Ford government has been underfunding health care & undervaluing nurses for years. It’s like they want the public system to fail. @OntHospitalAssn & @fordnation need to prove that nurses are valued here—right now. Because the clock is ticking. #onpoli

“We don’t need the American-style health care here...We have a good system here; they just need to put the money back into our hospitals.” - Annette Saccon, Bargaining Unit President, for ONA Local 99, speaking at the protest in Kingston earlier this week.

Why do you call us heroes? Do heroes deserve a one per cent limit on their wage increases? Do heroes deserve their rights to be taken away to freely negotiate fair wages? #StopBill124

I want to thank all our frontline health care heroes for setting a new record! 190,129 vaccinations in one day, #TeamOntario ! I have said from day one, if we get the vaccines, we will get people vaccinated.

We've said again and again: Doug Ford's #Bill124 interfered with the collective bargaining rights of nurses & health-care professionals. And from Sept. 12 we take that belief to court – backed up by extensive evidence. Follow along right here on social media as we #Challenge124 .

"Whether you live there or not, you should be paying attention. What’s happening in Minden speaks to the broader state of our health-care system." Though it might look like a local campaign, #savemindenER is a fight all Ontarians need to support! #onpoli

❌ Data from Quebec: private surgeries cost 2X more than public ones. ❌ CBC Report: Hospitals are paying up to 8X more for nurses from private firms. How much more evidence does @fordnation need before he admits that privatization is a bad deal? #onpoli

"Ford & other conservatives keep repeating the mantra that people just want better care and don’t care how it's delivered. But people do care. Recent polling released by the @OFLabour showed that 60% of Ontarians oppose private health care delivery." More:
