This is my first ever tweet. I’ve been on here for years but wasn’t sure what I wanted to say until today. So here it is: Imagine having a functional and just government in Ontario. 1/7
One that said: “our pandemic response will be rooted in protecting the most vulnerable.” One that said “children’s rights to a safe education and the population’s right to safe housing and health care are our foundational goal and every policy decision will follow from that.” 2/7
One that believed that the role of government was to better peoples’ lives, to reduce suffering, to work towards equity. A government that used its considerable resources to protect us, instead of harm us in service of corporations and the wealthy. 3/7
This shouldn’t be laughable or unthinkable. This is literally what our government could do for all of us, but won’t. 4/7
The majority of the deaths and disabling conditions, the suffering of all of us — but especially those of us most vulnerable, including kids, houseless folks, disabled folks, low income folks, and those in LTC or jails — were preventable through policy decisions. 5/7
Our pandemic lives could have been so much better and safer if our government had invested in our social systems, allowed us to care for each other in equitable ways and used its position to protect us. 6/7
Instead @fordnation ignored both science and justice and we are each paying the price.
