THREAD.
What I love most about @DrFullertonMPP & her team (⤵️) is that they won't respond to me but instead they go around me to those in my circle in the hopes those people aren't tracking their failures IRL time like I've been (in order to combat their nonsense).
You only called in Red Cross (release posted Dec 23).
Homes like #TendercareLTC, Sunnycrest or St. George, Craiglee didn't even receive this support that YOU HAVE AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
3. We have homes in CRISIS all across ONT yet you haven't deployed this aid that they so desperately need....because.....you claim the HOME needs to ask for it?
You are aware these bad actors DON'T WANT ATTENTION DRAWN TO THEM RIGHT?
They WON'T make the call 9 times out of 10.
4. So instead, you stand by & watch people die...many from preventable deaths caused by negligence AND INSETAD OF DEPLOYING THE HELP YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN FUNDED BY THE FEDS, you choose to spend your time contacting those around me trying to convince them YOU'RE NOT INCOMPETENT?
5. p.s My LTC Tweeple are more loyal than Taylor Swift fans....if you don't think I know EVERY move you make around me (because you are afraid to engage with me directly), you're wrong.
I have 7000+ eyes telling me everything you all do.
6. Lets circle back to the RED CROSS.
Do you know that at one of these LTC homes actually had to turn the @RedCrossOntario away because they apparently refused to help feed residents?
Did you bother to follow up on the success of those RC teams? NAH.
7. THIS IS WHY I'VE CALLED FOR MILITARY TEAMS.
Did you know that the CAF teams are skilled healthcare teams made up of: 2 Registered Nurses + 12 Medical Technicians + general duties personnel?
Did you even bother to read the military reports?
Because I have @JustineLewkowic.
8. Pursuant to your next comment in @MeMiller777's Post:
"Ontario continues to call on the federal government to increase the Canada Health Transfer to provide the support our long-term care residents and staff deserve"
I heard how you have received BILLIONS FOR LTC and failed to properly use that money to implement the safeguards THAT OTHER PROVINCES IMPLEMENTED.
But I've long pointed this out.
I see you.
10. So instead, you want @JustinTrudeau to keep giving your INCOMPETENT SELVES MONEY W/ NO STRINGS?
You know....you all are like those terrible ex's I broke up with long ago...who just TAKE TAKE TAKE & NEVER GIVE.
I wish I could break up with you all formally, forever.
11. But alas, that's not so easy. I have to put up with you.
That said, I will continue to WATCH EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE (cue: The police) and I will continue to highlight your ineptitude. You will not bamboozle people on my watch....certainly not those in my circle.
12. Finally @JustineLewkowic, tell your boss @DrFullertonMPP I am ready to debate her ANY DAY, ANY TIME on her pandemic response to LTC.
ANY DAY, ANY TIME.
But we all know why you skate around me.....I know too much right? Can't fool me, right?
*instead* (TWITTER GET AN EDIT BUTTON lol)
13. Because you know I come armed with a militia of FACTS and I will linguistically⤵️
14. One such fact:
I thought you said the homes had to ask for the help? WHY THEN, WERE THESE HOMES CAUGHT BY SURPRISE??
⤵️ cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
15. So while you continue to do PR (instead of actually HELPING THESE POOR RESIDENTS), I will continue to arm my LTC Families w/ FACTS. I will continue to document your ineptitude in print, media and TV.
And I'll await the day that @DrFullertonMPP has the courage to face me.
Correction: Apparently Sunnycrest did receive RC teams but that wasn't published on the Ministry website where I look for official releases (a red cross worker just let me know...ps thanks for this!). durhamregion.com/news-story/102…

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
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.
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).
