THREAD.
What I love most about @DrFullertonMPP & her team (⤵️) is that they won't respond to me but instead they go around me to those in my circle in the hopes those people aren't tracking their failures IRL time like I've been (in order to combat their nonsense).
1. I call your bluff: LIST THE HOMES YOU ACTUALLY DEPLOYED THESE 20 RED CROSS TEAMS TO.
List them.
...because I can only track those (on less than one hand) that have been sent this aid.
2. Let's talk some truth @JustineLewkowic
You only called in Red Cross (release posted Dec 23).
Homes like #TendercareLTC, Sunnycrest or St. George, Craiglee didn't even receive this support that YOU HAVE AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
3. We have homes in CRISIS all across ONT yet you haven't deployed this aid that they so desperately need....because.....you claim the HOME needs to ask for it?
You are aware these bad actors DON'T WANT ATTENTION DRAWN TO THEM RIGHT?
They WON'T make the call 9 times out of 10.
4. So instead, you stand by & watch people die...many from preventable deaths caused by negligence AND INSETAD OF DEPLOYING THE HELP YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN FUNDED BY THE FEDS, you choose to spend your time contacting those around me trying to convince them YOU'RE NOT INCOMPETENT?

As recently as Dec, ON requested further support from Red Cross through the feds. Deployment requests come from local health partners. We\u2019re proud of our men & women in uniform who answered the call for help when there was a staffing collapse in some homes at the start of COVID. https://t.co/KmtfcAtRVP

Good questions!

RE: Staffing/Fair wages:
I've talked about how this system reflects the trifecta of racism/sexism/ageism: https://t.co/hcjb0fB5xr
*We have a majority older, female resident population cared for my a majority racialized, female workforce.
20 years ago (pre-Harris privatization), nursing homes were staffed primarily by NURSES (hence the name, NURSING HOMES).
Privatization kicks in....and these FP owners need to cut costs to increase their profits. How? STAFFING, TO START.
What unfolded over the last 20 years as Privatization increased was the reversal of the staffing mix from majority nurses to majority PSWs (who are an unregulated workforce comprised primarily of racialized women who are often new to Canada).
This strategy is NOT NEW (its how the 2nd phase of predatory capitalism took hold) by expanding quite literally on the backs of women, often from the Global South whose labour is assumed to be both cheap and disposable (I studied this in my PhD).
And indeed, @Revera_Inc in their recent report defending their COVID performance expressed these same calls for an increased use of a gendered & racialized workforce....seeking to have @fordnation adjust immigration policies as a result

Most troubling is this tidbit from the "Perfect Storm" report where you all recommend the use of gendered & racialized immigrant workforces instead of providing domestic workers fair wages and livable working conditions.https://t.co/yRqCvMWwHb pic.twitter.com/ZCDPRkTEoz
