We are on the highway towards the privatization of our health care & #onted system. Well respected doctors, nurses,scientists, educators have tried to warn you. Instead Ontario has chosen to put their faith in the Ford govt.

This govt has…

Don’t see it that way? Go back to the years of Mike Harris when this was first attempted & realize he did it to long term care & was rewarded with a job for life. You will see…

…the exact same format with health care & education. Conservative MPPs are complicit b/c of the jobs they will be appointed to in the future.

Are we willing to open our eyes & see beyond the things that only have a direct impact on us at this very moment?

Hoping we will
