The person Doug Ford has appointed to the Ontario College of Early Childhood Educators doesn’t know what ECEs do.

You’ll be surprised to learn that Julie O’Driscoll is a Conservative donor and former comms director for MPP Steve Clark, who resigned amid the Greenbelt land swap controversy.

Trudeau spent eight years trying to get provinces on board. He set up the Canadian Drug Agency to negotiate a formulary. Provinces except PEI *refused* to get on board.
The NDP's ass-backward approach only created a bigger mess.

To do so, it recommends the government create a list of essential medicines. Persaud said the World Health Organization has a suggested list countries can use as a starting point, and many of the medications listed would be generic, low-cost drugs that can be purchased in bulk — things like antibiotics, medications for heart disease and diabetes, and treatments for HIV. The committee called on the federal government to provide sustainable funding to all provinces and territories to fully cover the cost of drugs on the essential medicines list. The report said the provinces and territories, which are responsible for delivering health care, would be expected to put any savings from existing drug plans into improving access to primary health care.

There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids.

One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi.

Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.
