Ontario mayors: don’t just stand there - pass a by-law restricting protests within a certain distance of hospitals.
#COVID19
Nurses are experiencing extreme anxiety, panic, exhaustion and irritability. We are spent physically & mentally. Stop coming to our workplaces and yelling in our faces. Your harassing us. We clearly don't make the rules and don't deserve to be terrorized.

Honestly media expressing concern that the premier needs a vacation leads to a love-in by him on who's working the hardest, the Minister for LT care, the Mayor, etc? Oh give me a break. Talk to shelter workers, frontline outreach workers, nurses.

This is how they voted on the motion that the state of homelessness in Toronto is a human rights disaster akin to a municipal emergency. Let your councillor know what you think. This is far from over.

Dear media. It's probably a good idea to not call me about the new wonderful "cooling network" that Toronto is running. If you can't see through the hype amidst worsening conditions for homeless, poor, vulnerable people I can't help you. Everyone in the sector knows it sucks.
Need help: The City of Toronto cancelled
#coolingcentres
for
#homeless
and vulnerable people and replaced them with a 'network'. Can you do an interactive exercise with me, click on the map and tell me where it directs you to go?

Have to thank the producers and of course
@spaikin
for a seamless interview covering decades of a nursing career, that as Steve coined, involved “death and destruction”. Many are telling me it is helping them understand the political context of the issues.
Every day, thousands of people in Ontario face poverty and homelessness, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. What are we doing wrong? Street nurse

The term nurse-extender is incredibly insulting. 🙏to the docs advocating for nurses. Lots of nurses can’t speak out but
@birgitomo
always calls it like it is. 🙏 Hospital CEOs please step up together and demand an emergency province wide mtg with the Premier and Minister….2
Hearing of doctors being paid to work as "nurse-extenders" in one of the hospitals in Ontario. So you mean the system can pay doctors to be nurses, but nurses can't get more than 1% pay raise? The fight is definitely against female-dominated professions. Doctors are NOT nurses.

? Thousands at event. City needs to 1) winterize this washroom 2) not issue permits for events if organizers don’t provide washrooms AND there are better options than this poorly serviced supplier.

I will invite the Ombudsman Susan Osler tomorrow to show her how and why over 500 people sleeping on floors in venues that are not shelters is dangerous, unhealthy and a violation of basic human rights. That is a shelter crisis.

As a new storm sweeps into Toronto tomorrow our shelter system remains collapsed. Warming centres have been full and the city squeezing 49 spaces into existing shelters and seemingly relaxing Covid standards is dangerous. We need shelter-hotel rooms.
