In , a patient with no family doctor will likely head to a hospital emergency room instead. What should have been a $37 doctor visit will now cost taxpayers $1000.

The College of Family Physicians now predicts over 4 million Ontarians will be without a family doctor by 2026. That number currently stands at 2 million. If you think our ERs are crowded now, just wait…

‼️🚨 hey so libraries across NYC are rapidly unspooling.

because of recent budget cuts, they’ve been forced to reduce:

• their stock of digital books
• the number of materials you can put on hold or have out on loan
• their hours of operation
• scheduled repairs & maintenance
• staff

it’s only a matter of time before these cutbacks cascade into elimination of physical materials and closures, leading to the undoing of the library system in NYC.

i implore you to start discussing how to preserve the institutions you have near you and their materials and take steps to make it happen.

"we" included only Ontarians that own a vehicle - not all Ontarians.

Excellent piece about what's happening in Queen's Park.

"But the fallout could be even more widespread, because no one knows for certain where the Mounties’ probe will lead.
“It’s going to be very bad,” confided a fourth Tory, expressing concern that the scandal is derailing the government’s agenda."

@dharrison @cardamomaddict It's no surprise he didn't breathe word about his "agenda" in the campaign trail.

Premier Ford's "agenda" = $8-billion real estate swindle to enrich his wealthy friends.

Premier Ford's "agenda" = starve public healthcare & education and privatize them in part to enrich his wealthy friends.

The current U.S. Congress is a fucking joke, well our whole government is. Why does everything have to be curtailed to one group of people, extreme left or extreme right? Why is crossing the aisle to govern with the other party heresy, seeing you burned at the stake by your own party? There's no good reason.

I'd like to start a new party, "For the People" to support issues for the common good of everyone and not just one group.

Reminder to rural Ontario voters experiencing hospital Emergency Room closures.

Under the Ford govt. has the lowest hospital funding with the fewest hospital beds and nurses per capita of any province in Canada.
👉​ Revenue however is $19.5B HIGHER than in 2021. (BILLION)

Will these repeated ER closures hurt the generational PC vote in rural Ontario>>

Ontario = $75.2 BILLION in health spending in 2022

... "we will never know much is being skimmed off in "overhead" like executive bonuses, dividends and excessive management fees."

Yes. Exactly. Doug's cronies are laughing all the way to the bank.

I’m not that old and in my lifetime, Republicans have crashed the economy twice.

GOP-controlled states are the worst off in the country. And yet, I’m supposed to believe the narrative Republicans are better for the economy than Democrats.

People need to wake up and understand that Republicans will have no problem holding the US hostage They did it for 4 years under Trump, and we barely survived.

What If Republicans Actually Want a Debt-Default Disaster?:

ArenaCops,

@SteveRogers @TonyStark Serving the oligarchs, as is the corrupt mission of today's fake & bought "Republicans", knows only one winning side:

The mega-rich self-serving aristocrats America was never meant to harbor & to serve.

  • Take food assistance away from hundreds of thousands of older Americans
  • Restrict veterans’ health care
  • Cut access to Meals on Wheels
  • Eliminate health care coverage for millions

Doug Ford lied about a huge drop in Ontario Science Centre attendance as part of his justification for moving the attraction from east Toronto to a redeveloped Ontario Place. Reports from the itself show that attendance has actually rebounded since the pandemic lockdowns.

"Others have already pointed this out, but the Science Centre really is a textbook case of a govt intentionally breaking something so they can point and say “look, this thing sucks!"

We need to sell it
We need to privatize it
