Hello @StatCan_eng, all day I have been stalling out on data tables, and getting error 503, is a fix coming soon?

"Taxpayers are having to pay significantly more to have the same procedures done in private, for-profit facilities, so investors can make a return," says @a_longhurst, author of a recent @CCPA_Ont report on private health delivery. See policyalternatives.ca/publications/r… for details. twitter.com/CBCQueensPark/…

The federal government has chosen the wrong approach to stabilize rents. Again. Instead, @ricardo_tranjan explains, other provinces should follow Quebec's lead and invest in public housing, co-ops, and not-for-profit housing. options-po.li/40J97sT

“Higher food prices are the new normal, so we need more income support for low- income Canadians to ensure their food security,” said @CCPA_Ont senior economist @SheilaBlockTO #canlab thestar.com/business/2023/…

New report out! Demonstrates the power of income supports as labour force development policy twitter.com/ccpa/status/16…

We don’t know where that money will go. It could be to fund further for-profit delivery of health care, or subsidizing private development at Ontario Place5/5.

Instead of putting money to work strengthening public services, the Budget continues to sock money away in contingency funds, $17.5 billion over 4 years 4/5.

The government’s commitment to public services is so inadequate that the @InfoFAO estimates more funds than needed are budgeted for health care. At a time when emergency departments are closing and health care workers are burning out, it could be doing so much better 3/5.
