On October 17, 1931, the sadistic gangster Al Capone was convicted - NOT for the crimes & violent rampages that many had hoped for - but rather on what many would consider a technicality (albeit serious) or white collar crimes: 3 counts of tax evasion.

1/...

Much of the success in bringing an end to Capone's bloody & tyrannical reign is due to the relentless efforts of 27-year old U.S. Treasury Agent Elliot Ness & his team of "Untouchables".

2/...

Currently in #Ontario , we are clearly having difficulty advancing challenges to the government's unscientific restrictions, clear lack of risk reduction TO OTHERS with vaccine mandates, and Charter challenges.

3/...

Perhaps it is time that we think like Elliot Ness & come at the problem from a different & unexpected angle to bring a rapid end to this tyrannical reign, and...

4/...

Cut their proverbial feet out from under them by going after the largest entities required to (and willingly complying with) the vaccine mandates/passports.

That would be hospitals & other large healthcare corporations.

(Other sectors - including gov't employees as well.)

5/..

This can be done quickly (AND ASAP) in 2 ways.

BUT....MDs, RTs, RNs, RPNs, PTs, etc. all need to band together to do this.

This can be done with OR without you union's support - as being a member of a union does NOT limit these actions.

6/...

1) Many hospitals & other employers in #Ontario have violated OHSA 63(2) - and can face up to $1,500,000 fines PER INCIDENT (affected employee).

They did this by NOT obtaining your WRITTEN consent to request/access your CV-19 vaccination status.

Your Occ. Health...

7/...

...consent signed at time of hire does NOT cover them for this.

This is clearly laid out in the Government of Ontario's instructions issued with the Rapid Antigen Test kits.

8/...

2) In #Ontario we were threatened (aka coerced) with the loss of our jobs/careers & the ability to support our families if we did not disclose our vaccination status.

So...even if you DID sign a WRITTEN consent allowing them to have access to your vax status...

9/...

As per PHIPA 18(1)(d) - for consent to be legal, it "must not be obtained through deception or coercion"

That consent therefore is NOT legal in Ontario!

Fully-vaccinated OR not - YOUR EMPLOYER broke the law - AND your rights were violated.

10/...

Since Ontario healthcare providers CANNOT have obtained consent legally (or did NOT obtain it at all) - they have also likely further violated the "Disclosure" sections of PHIPA - by using the information that they did not obtain legally.

11/...

3) #pushback

As per the Directive #6 Resource Guide:
"In the event of any conflict between this document and any legislation, directive, or order, the legislation, directive, or order prevails."

(Aka PHIPA, ESA, OHSA - all trump Directive #6)

health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/program… p.3

12/

Step 1 in our #pushback :

ALL employees in each workplace where the EMPLOYER did NOT obtain your WRITTEN consent specifically for your disclosure of your CV-19 vaccination status - a clear violation of OHSA 63(2)...

13/...

...need to band together and file a group AND individual complaint here:
ontario.ca/page/filing-wo…

Unions can file a separate complaints directly to the Ministry. Request a copy

If your union refuses to file a complaint, you have more than sufficient grounds to do it on your own

Step 2 in our #pushback

If your employer DID obtain your WRITTEN consent to access your CV-19 vaccination status - a clear violation of PHIPA 18(1)(d) - ALL employees in each affected healthcare workplace MUST file complaints en masse ASAP to put an end to this madness.

15/...

This can be done without your union.

You can do that here:
ipc.on.ca/privacy-indivi…

16/...

In addition to the VERY steep fine/penalties PER incident (employee) - the employer can also be ordered to pay up to $10,000 in "Damages for Breach of Privacy' for EACH affected individual. [PHIPA 65(3)]

ontario.ca/laws/statute/0…

17/...

Money talks!

Hit them where it hurts!

***When the hospitals (& other healthcare entities) are threatened - they will threaten the GOVERNMENT who put them in that position.

(Remember, your employer could - and SHOULD - have chosen to comply with OHSA & PHIPA instead.)
