Housing is a provincial responsibility! If the political will was there, we could end chronic homelessness.

We know the solutions needed, we just need a government that will step up and implement them.

It’s the same Conservative playbook again and again: take a public system, defund it until it reaches a breaking point, then introduce privatization as a solution. We must protect public healthcare.

The drastic cuts to hospital budgets imposed by the Conservative government are putting hospitals in an impossible position: cut jobs or cut services. A strong healthcare system means a healthier population and a stronger economy.

The Conservatives have failed to address the housing crisis. We need to get the government back to building affordable housing. We need rent control and protections for tenants. We need an Ontario NDP government.

There are tangible solutions to our health care crisis - if we invest wisely in our public healthcare system we can:

βœ… reduce wait-times
βœ… eliminate hallway healthcare
βœ… improve primary care access
βœ… ensure that patients get the right care at the right time

Addressing the primary care crisis means diving deeper into the issues. For the expansion of primary care teams to be a success, we need to ensure we retain and recruit the family physicians and NPs needed for those teams to be sustainable.

These days I wish the practice of politics resembled the practice of medicine a lot more. I will continue to bring the front-line perspective to Queen’s Park and carry forward the stories of my patients and constituents so that we may bring about much-needed change.

As our hospitals are overwhelmed with flu cases, we are hearing next to nothing from our Minister of Health & Chief MOH.

Public health won’t happen on its own. We need a province-wide campaign to increase flu vaccine uptake and relieve the burden on acute care.

Since the Conservatives formed government, wage theft has has gotten worse. This means money stolen out of workers’ pockets due to corporate greed.

What’s worse is that the Ford Conservatives have allowed wage theft to unchecked by stopping proactive inspections and failing to recoup stolen wages.

To keep our hospitals in good health, we need to care for them just like they care for our communities. That means funding them adequately so that there are enough hospital beds to match demand, wait-times are reduced, and we can ensure safe staffing ratios.

The evidence is clear: universal pharmacare saves lives. Ontario needs to act The promise of universal health care means that your health shouldn’t depend on your wallet. But currently, that promise falls flat in the time it takes to walk from a

Expanding prescription medication coverage is a win-win: better health outcomes, out-of-pocket savings, and savings for our health system.

Pharmacare now!

Hamilton hospital jobs cut amid $177-million shortfall Hamilton Health Sciences projects a deficit for the fifth straight year

The Conservative government’s cut to hospitals are being felt by healthcare workers and patients alike.

Our hospitals are already the most fiscally efficient. Cutting their budgets will mean fewer staff & services available

We need care not cuts!

TL;DR: the Minister of Health is satisfied with only some of Ontarians having access to the essential medications they need. I believe we can (and must) do better to ensure equitable access to healthcare for all.

Time may be running out on the opportunity to sign a bilateral agreement to ensure Ontarians get free contraception and diabetes medication. We can’t afford to miss this chance.

In yesterday's Spectator @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social and I talk about what we’ve been hearing from tenants in Hamilton, Bill 60 and Ford’s disregard for tenant rights, and the work we need to do to secure safe, affordable, and dignified housing for all.
