We in #Ontario need to start having similar protests!

#DougFord and Health Minister #SylviaJones (who does not have a Medical Degree or any prior Medical policy experience, she's John Tory's former Executive Assistant and has a technical college diploma in Radio Broadcasting!) have been hollowing out our healthcare system too.

We need to push back against the privatization and two-tierification of our medical system.

Equal Access to Healthcare is a Human Right!

I'll give #RFKJr wanabe #SylviaJones this much, she's correct the MMR Vaccine has been around for five decades and you're nearly 100% protected with it.

I wonder what changed in the last, say 7 years, that would have caused such a drastic turnaround in our efforts to eliminate Measles.

Could it be because of an admin that counts the fringe-right among their members and advisors?

Or the influence from the Premiers dinner table?

A classic move of the Far-Right!

Remember how #Trump said "If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any".

As Peter Drucker said: "You can't improve what you don't measure.”

Meanwhile, #SylviaJones, #Ontario's very own #RFKJr, continues to equivocate about telling everyone to get the #MMR vaccine, instead merely saying she is "deeply concerned".

#ONPoli #Measles #MeaslesOutbreak

This is on #DougFord (the #Trump fanboy) and #SylviaJones (the #RFKJr fangirl) and their refusal to unambiguously and forcefully declare that everyone should be vaccinated and that vaccines are tested and safe.

They are costing #Ontarians lives and money.

Ontario consumption sites free to relocate, court hears, contrary to past statements

Lawyers for the province say Ontario's supervised consumption site law does not ban them entirely and those deemed too close to schools and daycares can relocate farther away.

"Just my own observation, but pretty sure most of the folks I saw in the overrun, underfunded Emergency last night would have gladly taken an adequately funded public health system over a $200.00 cheque to buy a couple hundred bucks of booze at the corner store."
