I can’t think of a worse time to float the idea of a parallel private healthcare system than now.

Salman reviewed The Needs of Strangers in 1984 and we became friends. I was there when he went into hiding in 1989 and used to see him during his confinement. Now I pray he survives and lives to defy his tormentors once again.

I'm willing to bet if you asked people if they want a strong, accessible public health care system that provides good care to everyone, they would overwhelmingly support it. And, if you were honest and told them exactly how much it would cost, they would still support it #onpoli

What's best, the anticipation or the completion, live action from Port Stanley's main beach.
Best opened to get full effect.

I'm neither a Conservative nor a developer.
I lost one of my oldest friends to homelessness in a wealthy city that refuses to build more homes.
People my age are fleeing the city en masse because the opportunities people had 60 years ago have dried up.
Build more homes. twitter.com/CheriDiNovo/st…

Here’s my prediction on what will happen under the new ‘strong mayor’ legislation:
It will create de facto political parties, organized around support for the mayor (think: Équipe Denis Coderre).
It will force partisanship into local politics, in a big way.

To every single healthcare worker:
Yes, there is a crisis. And no, you are not the problem.
Don't let @SylviaJonesMPP or anyone else tell you otherwise.
It's time to stop treating HCWs like liabilities and start treating them as our most valuable resource.

Average list price for a unit of insulin:
Australia: $6.94
UK: $7.52
France: $9.08
Germany: $11
Canada: $12
Japan: $14.40
US: $98.70
Yesterday, a majority of Senate Republicans voted against a cap on insulin prices for millions of Americans.
Remember this in November.

Retweeted by Deb Matthews We all have a role in supporting our healthcare system.
There is currently a severe shortage of blood. I encourage anyone who can to roll up their sleeves and donate.
You don't have to be a healthcare worker to save lives 💪

Retweeted by Deb Matthews My Mom reminded me sixty years ago today, we emigrated to Canada. My parents met at Mount Allison, returned to Trinidad. When I was a baby they decided to leave their families to return to New Brunswick because of the opportunities for them and, especially, me. Forever grateful.

Retweeted by Deb Matthews Yesterday, I spoke directly to @SylviaJonesMPP and @fordnation. I said:
Show up.
Show courage.
Fight for Ontario's patients.
Stop further deterioration of the healthcare system.
Instead, they gave evasive press conferences with NO plan for ER/ICU closures.

Retweeted by Deb Matthews Thank you to @JohnTory and the majority of City Council for employing common sense and compassion to defeat this motion.
On October 24th, help me bring a thoughtful approach to governance back to Ward 8. #TOpoli #TOcouncil #EgLaw #Toronto voteevan.ca twitter.com/GraphicMatt/st…
Retweeted by Deb Matthews I am asking @PerruzzaTO and @MikeColleTo to rescind their motion to end shelter hotels. They have no plan to house the program's 3,000 residents. Lives are at stake.
I also ask the rest of council to vote down this motion if it sees the floor. #TOpoli #TOcouncil @globalnewsto
Retweeted by Deb Matthews I like local democracy and accountability. Premier Doug Ford now intends to create a US-style Strong Mayor system in Toronto. It’s not like we’ve ever famously had a mayor who clearly demonstrated why this is a really bad idea.

Retweeted by Deb Matthews The Ford government is hoarding money during a pandemic to reduce the deficit.
It is shameful, abhorrent and immoral.
The fish rots from the head!
They spent the federal money but not their own.
Disgusting! twitter.com/ColinDMello/st…
Retweeted by Deb Matthews Yet another reason why #eglaw needs a new councillor. @EvanSambasivam is one to watch. twitter.com/evansambasivam…
Retweeted by Deb Matthews My statement on Councillors @PerruzzaTO and @MikeColleTo's motion to end the temporary shelter hotel program without a plan to house the 3,000+ residents who currently rely on it.

Retweeted by Deb Matthews Feeling the love! It hasn't been the easiest wedding to plan, and it certainly won't look anything like what we envisioned when we got engaged 2.5 years ago, but I'm excited to celebrate and create some powerful memories. 2 sleeps away!

Retweeted by Deb Matthews So, @CanadianTire, when you associate yourselves with the Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights”, this is the kind of messaging you’re tying yourselves to: eg, their senior lobbyist’s Christmas posts (one a retweet) over the past couple of years, or her note for @CanadianPM 👇�yh
Retweeted by Deb Matthews We really really need to stop seeing homelessness as a failure of individuals...Homelessness is a policy failure. A moral failure. And a failure of our society to have compassion for people who are in a situation that any one of us could be in too.
Retweeted by Deb Matthews If #TOcouncil votes to end the shelter hotel program on Wednesday, 3,000 people will have no place to go. No alternative has been proposed.
This will cost us money, resources, and lives. If we end this program, we need to make sure our most vulnerable are not left behind #TOpoli twitter.com/Gruesomebrat/s…
