Today at Queen's Park, we released a new report highlighting that the #genderpaygap in Ontario has increased due to the Ford government's wage suppression of public sector workers, who are primarily women. 1 #ONpoli

The government must increase hospital budgets by at least 5% beyond inflation in each of the next 4 years, to hire staff, clear surgical backlogs & get patients off stretchers and into real beds. @fordnation must also follow BC's lead & introduce nurse-to-patient ratios #bill124

Metrolinx and a bunch of Hamilton City Councillors want to privatize the maintenance of Hamilton's LRT. Ottawa's LRT is a prime example of what happens when public money goes to "for profit" corporations who put profit over public service. thespec.com/news/ontario/t…
