    Last week marked a new low in @fordnation’s failed leadership: He defied the Canada Health Act by missing the deadline to publicly fund nurse practitioners and end private billing. He said you’d always pay with your OHIP card, not your credit card. He lied. #onpoli

    It makes me furious that @fordnation can publish an interactive map to find beer after just one weekend but he won’t do the same thing to help any of the 2.3 million Ontarians who can’t find a family doctor. #onpoli #onhealth

    Make this summer an Ontario-made summer! Our new interactive map shows thousands of convenient options where you can still buy beer, wine, spirits and other drinks across the province. Check out a local brewery or winery for some fantastic Ontario-made products near you and

    We’re still in the legislature 13.5 hours after starting at 5am today. To all the education workers protesting outside Queen’s Park - we can hear you in the chamber. Keep it up!!! 💪🏼 #onpoli #onted

    I asked @fordnation why he’s prioritizing maps for booze over maps for family doctors. Knowing I wouldn’t get a good answer, I prepared a map of my own: the top ten @OntarioPCParty ridings with the most people without a family doctor. They didn’t like that. #onpoli #onhealth

    We can’t afford to go on like this: • Overcapacity paediatric ICUs • Overwhelmed ERs and critical care • Kids in adult ICUs • Surgeries being delayed All at once. That is why today I called for universal masking in schools and on public transportation. #onpoli #onhealth

    Ah, yes. Canada is not for sale, but you know what is apparently? The Greenbelt, Ontario Place, the Science Centre, Service Ontario, and Minister’s Zoning Orders. You say Canada is not for sale, but sell off Ontario everyday. We see you, @fordnation. #onpoli

    Nearly 10,000 Ontarians died while waiting for MRIs and CT scans last year, and @fordnation joked that the 200,000 patients still waiting should go to the vet. Jokes can be funny, but they can also be revealing. Doug Ford doesn’t care about your healthcare. #onpoli #onhealth

    Doug Ford had one of his biggest A-S-S moments yesterday. • Graduates can’t get hired • 1,000,000 people visited food banks last year • Rents have risen by 83% • ODSP and Ontario Works have been gutted • Shelters are full Shouldn’t you get to work, @fordnation? #onpoli

    Yesterday, I called on Doug Ford to end his warpath to privatization. That evening, news broke of his intention to double down on for-profit private healthcare. We cannot allow this government to forsake our public healthcare system in the name of profit. #onhealth #onpoli

    To every single healthcare worker: Yes, there is a crisis. And no, you are not the problem. Don't let @SylviaJonesMPP or anyone else tell you otherwise. It's time to stop treating HCWs like liabilities and start treating them as our most valuable resource. #onhealth #onpoli

    Today, I revealed alarming data on Ontario’s healthcare. Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones have been telling us for months that all is well, that the disasters in our emergency departments are “not unprecedented.” That is not true, and I’ve got the data to prove it. #onpoli #onhealth

    A new report found that 5M Canadians don’t have a family doctor. Ontario is only 36% of Canada’s population but accounts for 50% of everyone without a family doctor. It’s time to face the facts, @fordnation. You’re the problem. #onpoli #onhealth

    It’s just after 5 and the Legislature has resumed. It amazes me that the Ford government is willing to show up to trample the rights of education workers but has never made this effort to address the healthcare crisis or keep ERs open. #onpoli #onhealth #onted

    Doug Ford needs to take off his beer goggles and look at what he’s done to Ontario’s healthcare system. The number of people suffering in hospital hallways daily has more than doubled on his watch. Let’s hold @fordnation accountable. #onpoli #onhealth
    Hospital data shows Ontario's hallway health care problem is worse than ever
