@PBruce @CdnDrsforMedicare I am kind of past the point of signing e-petitions. I think that they're mostly useless gestures unless in some way they are being used to actually mobilize people and get them into the streets.

I agree boots on the ground can't be replaced, as we recently saw in Ontario's use of the Not Withstanding Clause, Stand or be run over.
Petitions can not replace that, but anything that contributes to that, raises awareness, adds to the noise , builds unified action, I'm for, especially as petitions & actions are not mutually exclusive.

@PBruce @CdnDrsforMedicare With the education workers struggle, I didn't have to go to downtown Toronto to a rally. There was a loud and noisy rally of hundreds in my neighbourhood. That was how high the level of support was. We need to build on that sort of thing instead of retrenching into slacktivism.

I'm also pissed of about the lack of real support for healthcare and healthcare workers in Canada , followed by self serving navel gazing , after the fact and after the horse is out of the gate. If you won't look up your bound to walk into walls. Don't blame the wall. It was always there. Don't drive.

So, I think any initiative from healthcare workers in support of public healthcare deserves support.
