.@SteiniBrown scares the hell out of me during his briefs....and I'm GLAD he does. THIS is the messaging we need.
(He is on CP24 right now)
Can Dr. Yaffe stop blaming tired people. Look at your governments policies and MESSAGING.

So I've become close with many in media/public advocacy and I want to let you know that some of these individuals ARE NOW BEING DIRECTLY CONTACTED BY @DrFullertonMPP's office about some of their "TWEETS" (which are critical).
SO INSTEAD of responding to families emails......and to PSW organizations offering support........and to myself & @dolybegum inviting her to come hear out #TendercareLTC families, she has chosen to instead email public figures in the hopes they will stop being critical.
This is the person in charge of our seniors friends.

Good questions!

Thread 1/5
RE: Staffing/Fair wages:
I've talked about how this system reflects the trifecta of racism/sexism/ageism: vox.com/future-perfect…
*We have a majority older, female resident population cared for my a majority racialized, female workforce.
20 years ago (pre-Harris privatization), nursing homes were staffed primarily by NURSES (hence the name, NURSING HOMES).

Privatization kicks in....and these FP owners need to cut costs to increase their profits. How? STAFFING, TO START.
What unfolded over the last 20 years as Privatization increased was the reversal of the staffing mix from majority nurses to majority PSWs (who are an unregulated workforce comprised primarily of racialized women who are often new to Canada).

I am currently joining families in the #TendercareLTC Town Hall (which is being hosted by @NYGH_News). I will live tweet updates. #TendercareLTC
Starts by saying they have a history of taking over many homes in outbreaks over the last 9 months and have been in the home for ~10 days.
She recognizes the "huge community response" and they are "starting to see positive signs of improvement".
She (Susan Kwolek) says they will stay on until the virus is gone. She says they are in active discussions with the LHIN to move some residents to the temp. health centre (that Fullerton just announced).
