Kristyn Wong-TamToday is a victory for Ontario workers! #MaritStiles #OntarioNDP have stood with workers to fight against Fordβs costly attacks on their rights. The message to the Premier is clear: STOP bullying workers. STOP fighting workers in court. START fixing the province. #RepealBill124
Ford has money for his friends by privatizing health care. But Ontarians could get those surgeries NOW if his government INVESTED in PUBLIC health care.

ChristyCeeCKThe Ford government knew that Bill 124 was driving nurses from hospitals. The Ford government knew this and then actively appealed a court decision to strike down Bill 124.
Coupled with ZERO government messaging on the value of retaining veteran nurses (yes, I have the receipts), it looks very much like Bill 124 was used intentionally as a way to flush Ontario's most experienced hospital nurses from the public payroll and to private agencies.
Ford govt: Bill 124 contributed to staffing crisis according to internal documents given to Health Minister Sylvia Jones
Jones has known since she took over as minister. It was in her transition binder.
"The admission was made in briefing notes prepared for Sylvia Jones in 2022, after she was appointed minister of health, and obtained by Global News through a freedom of information request."
Ontario files appeal of wage suppressing Bill 124 court decision
There you go. Doug Ford's government waited as long as possible -- until the quietest news week -- to file the appeal. Imagine how nurses, working their hearts out this week, feel hearing this news.

Polling suggests majority of Ontarians, incl PC supporters, oppose Bill 124
"The poll suggests the public supports the courtβs original decision, finding that 70% of Ontarians oppose Bill 124, including 53% of people who voted Progressive Conservative in the last election.
Seventy-six per cent of those polled say they believe it unfair to cap wages for nurses and other health professionals βat this amount when inflation is so high.β
