Ontario hospitals already have equipment that could help cut wait lists. @alonghurst.bsky.social (@policyalternatives.ca) tells @jeyantvo.bsky.social the province should fund the staff to use it before expanding private clinics. | Producer: Daysha Loppie

The latest version counts phone and internet, but that wouldn't even make sense to economists in 1963. The bigger question is who makes the call about what counts and what doesn't? https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/is-brooklyn-a-luxury-good

And also trusting that legacy media will simply go along with it, and if the federal government pushes back on whose responsibility it really is, they will describe it as "finger-pointing" or "bickering" without actually saying the provinces are responsible.
Canadian federalism is the provinces blaming Ottawa for things the provinces are responsible for and trusting that the voters won't know that

#DougFord fails #Ontario yet again “This is a minister of education who cannot even deliver paper and pencils to classrooms without something messing up,” said Stiles. “This big American corporation was given this (single vendor) contract, and guess what? They’re exploiting the hell out of it.”

“Ontario taxpayers should be asking: Why should money intended for public classrooms be funneled through a U.S.-based, private-equity-owned corporation, rather than strengthening the public education system itself?” #OntEd
The Ontario government is forcing public school teachers to buy classroom supplies through Staples, a major U.S. corporation. This won't fix what ails schools, not by a long shot, argues Nigel Bariffe of the Elementary Teachers of Toronto.

Staples (🇺🇸) is now open for some ON teachers. How do prices stack up against the TDSB supply centre for classroom basics? TDSB: $290.38 Staples: $668.98 Staples Teachers: $584.56 But Paul Calandra took over the TDSB claiming financial mismanagement and Doug Ford wants you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd
The Ontario govt took $60M out of public education and handed it to Staples. Tomorrow, 80K elementary teachers each get $750 of the misappropriated money to buy overpriced classroom supplies at an 🇺🇸 corporation. Please remember this the next time Captain Canada tells you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd

Donald Trump is using the climate fires to threaten Canada. MAGA politicians are saying it's our last warning and threatening to come over the border. Meanwhile a Canadian firefighter died helping people in Colorado. It would be ridiculous if it wasn't so serious. My latest youtu.be/hqPHvJJc1Ck?...

Does Pierre honestly think it's easy to get a pipeline through people's land? Luke and Ian hear from special guest John Batt, of @canada-gov-ca.bsky.social all about The MacKenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry of the 1970s, which was NOT easy.

Which will do absolutely nothing so long as provincial governments continue to underfund their healthcare systems.
To build a better health care system, we need to build better hospitals and clinics. We’re expanding and modernising our healthcare infrastructure across the country — so you can get the care you need, when you need it.
