Yes and we can't even begin to evaluate the harm or anticipate it because the circumstances are unprecedented. We should be watching for ALL harm, not just the virus kind. https://twitter.com/SolidFooting/status/1263069471289335809

I may have to review Hansard, but I do not think even *one govt member shared a story or letter today from a constituent about Long Term Care in Ontario.They talked about timelines & what they did on what day, but no voices from workers, seniors or families. #onpoli #LTC #COVID

.@fordnation will stand a commission to review long term care in Ontario.

Will it include patients & caregivers, whose exclusion during #covid19 have hurt so many?

The hardest part of this statement is 'we'.

Who is 'we'?

'We' does not include patients and caregivers in any meaningful way.

This pandemic has highlighted that e-Mental Health has a vital role in the delivery of mental health care. Everyone deserves to have access to quality mental health services and supports when, where, and how they choose.

Time & again #healthcare celebrated #caregivers as #morethanavisitor, acknowledged we saved the system BILLIONS.

We understand the fear of #COVID19 but do you understand ours?

Front line health workers are exhausted. Families are traumatized. Let's find a way forward together.
