Today's FAO report is clear: Doug Ford is underspending on #Healthcare.

At a time when ERs across the province are closing due to staffing shortages, this is unacceptable.

I ask the Premier: If keeping emergency rooms open doesn’t warrant spending – what does? 1/

#onpoli
It’s inexcusable to underspend on #healthcare while nurses & other healthcare workers are burnt out.

This failure to act is costing Ontarians.

Doug Ford needs to invest in the ppl who provide care, starting with #Bill124 and repealing it. /2

I met with a family doc in Guelph this morning. Her story is a system on the brink of collapse. She is referring seriously ill patients to specialists & they are waiting months as their conditions get worse. She’s forced to provide mental healthcare she’s not trained to provide.
The bottom line is the healthcare system needs more people to provide the care we all need. Money won’t solve all the challenges, but it will take more investment to hire the staff needed to care for people. And the lack of staff is costing us more $ by shuffling people around.

The cost of living is skyrocketing, inflation rates are going up. So why aren’t social-assistance rates too?

@OntarioGreens continue to call on the Premier to double the rates for #ODSP 1/4
#PWD have been asking for help during COVID, struggling to survive on a maximum of $1,169 a month — all while the price of food and housing is going through the roof.

Over the past year, the cost of shelter has gone up 4.8%, and food is up 3.9%. #onpoli 2/4
We know persons #PWD have borne a disproportionate burden of the pandemic.

Ontarians shouldn’t have to choose between paying their rent or putting food on the table. The situation is dire. #ODSPoverty 3/4
