Healthcare Thread🧵: Plan To Stay Open: Bill 7 - More Beds,Better Care Act
Every time I try to convince myself that the @fordnation government can’t get any worse, they dive even deeper. The lack of compassion for Ontarians shines through every piece of legislation /2
they write, and with every word they speak. To hear @PaulCalandra and @SylviaJonesMPP at their presser this week was bad enough, but to read the true message in words defies logic and further demonstrates their love of privatization and their disdain for Ontarians. /3
Let’s go on a trip through the written words. 😡 I’ve highlighted a few problematic things.
/4
Hospital partners, AKA hospital CEOs.
Independent health facilities that use more of your tax dollars.
Existing private clinics which drain healthcare workers from the public system. /5
Stabilize our health system? 🤦🏼♀️
Seventh wave has peaked and will recede?
Periodic staff shortages? /6
Improve vaccine uptake? 😂
Still waiting for Dr. Moore to stop telling people to wait for their booster.
What about child vaccinations? /7
Dr. Moore, CMOH, advises #LTC homes to shut down Covid isolation rooms. How many #LTC homes are in outbreak right now? /8
Patients won’t be out of pocket for any cost difference?
Gotta look after those for-profit margins, I guess. /9
Again with the existing private clinics. Instead of fixing the public system, we’ll pay more so you can use private clinics. We like to pad the pockets of our donors using your tax dollars. /10
Easing pressure by increasing physician coverage. From what I’m hearing, the shortage is nursing staff. Some hospitals paid doctor wages to doctors to act as nurses, which is an exorbitant rate. /11 in
Transition patients to other facilities. Didn’t that result in extra fees to the patient?
Fully leverage nursing ability to work several locations to get get full time hours. They’re still classified as part time employees, so no benefits. /12
These workers need people to mentor them. Existing staff already can’t keep up, so they don’t have time. With the disrespect being shown by not repealing Bill 124, very few of those who left will return to do that mentoring. /13
It’s more than simply covering applicable fees. It’s this little thing called RESPECT, which is why so many left in the first place. /14
A recognition of the additional cost of using agency nurses. 👏🏼 Too bad, they aren’t listening to the Opposition and @CathrynOna. The solutions are pretty obvious. 🤦🏼♀️ /15
This Bill 7 is absolutely reprehensible.🤬
“This new provision authorizes certain actions to be carried out without the consent of these patients.” /17
All of these can happen without consent despite what @PaulCalandra states to the media.
An absolutely horrific bill that will be passed simply because they want it to be passed.
Ontario no longer has a voice. 😢🤬😢

🧵The election is over, we have what we have, like it or not, unfortunately. I am particularly disturbed, angry, and upset after watching today’s Question Period about several things. Leadership is about taking responsibility for problems and solutions. Acknowledgment /2
of a problem is the first step. Shifting blame onto others is a cowardly method of leading and governing. Democracy involves listening to and hearing all stakeholders, having healthy debate, and collaborating to find the solution. What I witnessed today was none of that. /3
Introducing new @OntarioPCCaucus members by having them read prepared gaslighting statements as actual questions is quite frankly nauseating to listen to. These are elected adults who should be able to think on their own. Do they realize how foolish they sound /4
#onpoli Remember 2018-2019. 🧵 @fordnation booed everywhere he went due to the massive cuts to everyone.😡
Then came Covid. What a distraction for him. 97% of the funding came from federal coffers and he didn’t even spend that. Billions went missing. 🤔
/2
Now @fordnation has no platform again, just sound bites: “Get It Done” “For The People”.
Handing out money all over the place while not telling Ontario that municipalities are paying a bigger share, or that federal coffers are once again giving more. Selective advertising. /3
I think about the arrogance displayed by @OntarioPCCaucus members in Question Period when constituent concerns are brought up, and they laugh and make fun of Ontarians.
I think about all the people that don’t matter to them, but the elite land owners and developers are /4
🧵As I listened to the campaign presser from @fordnation this morning, I’m increasingly troubled. Kudos to @NatashaCBC_RC, @moosefmckap, @LydiaCTV for their attempts to have Ford actually answer a question. Their questions were on point, and clearly demonstrate why /2
the one question, one follow up method is inadequate but will be continued with his campaigning. It allows him to blatantly let lies roll off his tongue. He’s telling outright lies, not just exaggerating the truth. The journalists really did try to hold him accountable, /3
but honesty isn’t part of this battle. Even more troubling is that so many, in light of having busy lives, believe him. I hear the words, “He did pretty good.”, come from many who don’t see past his written script. His agenda is so clear: make profits for the wealthy, /4
🧵To say that I'm disappointed with @Sflecce's comprehensive and robust back-to-school plan would be an understatement. Didn't feel much better after listening to Dr. Moore today either. This plan is contradictory, unrealistic, and just like last year contains few cost items. /2
Just as I did last year, I have taken the Science Table's recommendations and matched the pieces of the plan in a comparison chart. I will post pictures of each of the pages, as well as share a link to the Google Doc. Also will include the Google Doc from last year for ...
I’m angry. I’m appalled. I’m beyond upset. I just watched part of today’s committee hearing on Section 2 of Bill 213. The arrogance of the speaker from Canada Christian College and his lecturing and bullying were totally inappropriate. I would like to join @PeggySattlerNDP in
apologizing to Sara from the Muslim Society for the aggressive manner in which @DavidPiccini my MPP targeted and bullied her. When a presenter actually expresses that feeling and the behaviour continues it says an awful lot about the character of the person doing the bullying.
Earlier I listened to @NatKusendova do the same devaluing of many people: the Opposition who are doing their job, ETFO, and others. @gghamari as the chair, refused to let @PeggySattlerNDP clarify her question to the Dean of CCC, yet she didn’t stop @DavidPiccini from doing the
So I decided to do your research for you. I’m kind of funny that way, I like to see proof of things. I was quite dismayed to find lots of proof refuting your comments, but none supporting them. If you would be so kind as to direct me to the proof if your claims, it would be
appreciated.
So let’s start with @samoosterhoff. You state that you are working hard to protect students in the classroom. You quote Dr. Williams about the idea of cohorting and distancing. Does this look like protection?
