Toronto media: were 7,000 people in parks not following 6’ physical distancing? No, I don’t think so! Yet you let @JohnTory direct you away from the real story. 7,000+ people homeless in shelters less than 2’ from each other.

#ThirdWave is so bad in Toronto shelters that yesterday front line workers (media often call them activists😉) asked city + health officials to call in @RedCrossOntario @MSF_canada or Can’n military health personnel. @SanctuaryTO @TODropinNetwork @PQWCHC @StreetHealthTO @ICFHT ..2

BREAKING: TO applies for court injunction to stop building of wooden shelters and placing them on City parks + rights-of-way. BOTTOM LINE: when people are in need, anywhere in the world, humanitarian aid is allowed to be brought in. PERIOD. @JohnTory @TorTinyShelters @ESN_TO

Bruce Arthur: Premier Doug Ford and his medical officer of health were shocked by rising COVID...

But unless Ontario’s premier understands how this happened, how much will change?

Have to thank the producers and of course @spaikin for a seamless interview covering decades of a nursing career, that as Steve coined, involved “death and destruction”. Many are telling me it is helping them understand the political context of the issues.

Toronto: how did your councillor vote yesterday? Attack on the motions was by the old guard. These councillors voted to not declare Homelessness a Public Health Crisis and against immediate opening of 24/7 warming centres until mid April....Names here: 2

Same for #homelessdeath reporting. Complaints create a public record, provide evidence for a future inquiry into how the province mismanaged COVID.

For obvious reasons this is one of the most important candidate commitments for me. After 'whispering' last week that homelessness is an emergency Toronto City Council needs strong leadership to move forward. #homelessemergency #socialhousing #housingforall

As Mayor, I will deliver truly affordable housing by establishing Public Build Toronto, a City agency that will develop housing on City-owned lands.

The term nurse-extender is incredibly insulting. 🙏to the docs advocating for nurses. Lots of nurses can’t speak out but @birgitomo always calls it like it is. 🙏 Hospital CEOs please step up together and demand an emergency province wide mtg with the Premier and Minister….2

Hearing of doctors being paid to work as "nurse-extenders" in one of the hospitals in Ontario. So you mean the system can pay doctors to be nurses, but nurses can't get more than 1% pay raise? The fight is definitely against female-dominated professions. Doctors are NOT nurses.

How is this acceptable @winterstations @BradMBradford @marymargaretbey @beynate ? Thousands at event. City needs to 1) winterize this washroom 2) not issue permits for events if organizers don’t provide washrooms AND there are better options than this poorly serviced supplier.

I will invite the Ombudsman Susan Osler tomorrow to show her how and why over 500 people sleeping on floors in venues that are not shelters is dangerous, unhealthy and a violation of basic human rights. That is a shelter crisis.
