Vote NO to privatizing health care

Bill 60 significantly expands privatization of surgeries and diagnostics as well as private for-profit hospitals and clinics.

Mark Friday, May 26 and Saturday, May 27 on your calendars. Then, circle these dates, highlight them and put a star next to them. May 26 and 27, Ontario Health Coalition (OHC) will be holding a citizens’ referendum with more than a thousand voting stations across Ontario. Online voting with be available starting May 2 – and I encourage everyone reading this to vote online as soon as the site is activated.

The referendum is in response to the Ford government’s announcement that it’s moving ahead with Bill 60, Your Health Care Act,  which is expected to pass this week.

The legislation significantly expands privatization of surgeries and diagnostics as well as private for-profit hospitals and clinics – something the Ford government said they would never do during the lead-up to the election.

Once this legislation is passed the government will move with lightening speed to dismantle universal health care.

april fools day is actually the most sensible day of the year because it’s the only day on which people will read something on the internet and stop for a second to consider whether or not it’s actually true

I have had mxtx content so deeply embedded in my thoughts, the brainrot is so fierce. I love the narratives in her books, these themes that I haven’t ever felt in a story before. Just some rambling about them that’s bubbled up over the last few months:

SVSSS: even with a sense of authority on where the story will go, changes both small and large can surprise or underwhelm you. there are always stories hidden behind characters and characters lost to hidden stories. the narrative we tell about ourselves affects everything about how we interpret the meaning of what we experience. often we are blind to the meanings we emphasize or suppress, confident in the authority of a narrative we insist is true, cohesive, consistent, or normative.

MDZS: everyone has their own version of events, often not in service to truth or justice, but power and image. yes, where you come from and what you endure can be limiting or enabling. yes, it can explain why you do what you do. yes, you still always, always have a choice to do what is right. only you can decide what that is. in some cases, everyone will have an opinion. in others, no one will know or care. you choose whether that influence what you do. it is never too late, it is never over, and every choice is a new opportunity. you can’t change choices made in the past, but you can learn from them to inform your choices in the future and influence the options available to those who follow.

TGCF: sometimes you can change the story with brute strength and charisma, sometimes all you can do is endure and regulate your own response to it. you can reinvent yourself over and over, run from your past selves, suppress the parts of you that are shamed, but you will always be with you and only you. all that happens, within and around, bad and good, your actions or others’, makes you you. the greatest and worst versions of yourself were all required to make this you – it’s not the state of you that matters, but the essence of you. integrate, rebuild, evolve, rebirth, morph, refine, transform, regress – the story always progresses and characters always develop, the only story that defines you is the one you iterate.

And for all of them… sometimes, the happy ending isn’t sweeping change in the world, awe inspiring redemption, or cathartic revenge. Sometimes it’s allowing yourself to have a simple life with the ones you love, staying authentic to your values and desires, and understanding the revolution that is inherent to thriving in the body you live in, all its scars and memories included. You can never control the story of the world, no matter your knowledge, skills, or abilities, nor should you try. Horrid experiences and events can’t be eradicated, but neither can beauty, awe, and grace. Unfortunately, these are not often equitably distributed. Fortunately, we can never know which will be in the next moment, which will be the last, if there will be better or worse than we have already felt. Such is living.
