Doug Ford's Healthcare #Privatization #Bill60
▶️​ The 'Director'(s) of Ford's new private clinics does not need to be an employee of the #Ontario
Ministry of Health and is NOT subject to the conflict of interest and ethics regulations for public servants.
▶️​ Ford can appoint multiple third-party/corporate Directors to create and oversee his private clinic in public hospitals.
▶️​ There is nothing in #Bill60 to stop corruption among the Director(s).

#JustinJPearson comforts a woman holding a sign that reads: “Covenant Mom.”

Reminder for the people in power: The families, who are burying children and loved ones murdered in last week’s #CovenantSchool shooting, deserve real action to stop gun violence.

Disability advocates and physicians call for required masking in hospitals, health facilities

Prevent infections from occurring in hospitals should be an obvious imperative.

Taibbi, who is in regular contact with Musk, was told Substack is being punished because of “a dispute over the new Substack Notes platform”

Taibbi was “given the option of posting articles to Twitter instead”

@gruber I am currently today being deeply haunted by this quote:

"'No one believed me that working for Elon was the way it was until they saw how he operated Twitter,' Bernal said, calling Twitter 'just the tip of the iceberg on how he operates Tesla.'"

Notice how when Republicans do crazy shit like "expel members of the Tennessee legislature for protesting school shootings" there's no hand wringing in the media about how this will change norms and open the GOP up to retaliation from the Dems the same way there is with Trump being prosecuted.

Good Morning Canada!
It's International Beaver Day so obviously a huge day of celebration for Canadians. How cool is it that our national animal is the largest rodent in North America and a true symbol of our industriousness. Busy like a beaver.
If you run into any beavers today give them some wood as a special treat.

Taking away masks from medical settings when 1/10 people who get Covid in hospital are dying? Yep. That's a crime against humanity. That's not negligence. It's murder. Those of us who survive this era must not rest until the perps in government are made accountable for their crimes. #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #cdnpoli

Watching Putin get no applause from the ambassadors this year is a bookmarkable moment of zen.

I don't think I've ever tapped on an unsubscribe link faster. Also don't think I've ever been less surprised that the unsubscribe link was broken.

Torontonian here. Why should the feds bailout the John Tory and Co.'s reckless mismanagement of the budget? They could cancel the Gardiner, cancel "SmartTrack", reverse the police budget's increase, and increase property taxes on multimillion dollar mansions in Rosedale. Billions right there. 12 years of the conservative low-tax city mantra created for this crisis. #Toronto #TOpoli #AusterityTO #LowTaxCity #Budget

COVID minimizers saying that we don't need to do anything more to mitigate #COVID because humans have always lived with viruses, is the equivalent to climate deniers saying that we don't need to slow #climatechange because the Earth's climate has always been changing.
