Services will be back for seniors, youth and recipients of OHIP covered eyecare starting tomorrow. I will be using my voice in the Legislature to tell the Premier to bargain in good faith, to stay at the table and ensure these services won't be lost again #onpoli #eyecareontario

Ontario’s eye care system needs your support. Head over SaveEyeCare.ca today and urge your local MPP to support a sustainable funding system for eye care in Ontario. #saveeyecare

The current state of eye care in Ontario is not sustainable. After 30 years it’s time to prioritize eye health with funding that protects Ontario’s most vulnerable. Head over the SaveEyeCare.ca and urge the government to properly fund these services. #saveeyecare

.@celliottability needs to take a business course. Her logic doesn't make sense re: #Ontario Optometrists. How does she think being treated unfairly twice as often, is a good thing? @michelledubeCTV @Travisdhanraj @citycynthia @L_stone #SaveEyeCare #onpoli #Toronto #DougFord
QB optoms also threatened to strike a few years ago as they were being paid 42$. The diff is their gov actually listened, figured out the cost of an exam, and negotiated 107$ for the same quality eye care that ON optometrist provide at 44$#SaveEyeCare @celliottability @fordnation

What good is a new highway if citizens can’t see properly to drive on it? We know what @celliottability and @fordnation need to prioritize! Healthcare and eye care! #saveeyecare

Cmon…they say they 'want to study our cost' but then not commit to them? Why’d they refuse to coauthor a cost study 1 yr ago? Just a DELAY TACTIC. SENIOR VOTERS are MAD! #SaveEyeCare #ONpoli #Ontario @NatKusendova @Sflecce @MacLeodLisa @RobinMartinPC

They FORCED money on us. A blank screen for hours & a 'take-it or leave-it' ultimatum. ZERO negotiating on their part. They need to commit we won’t be subsidizing exams first. @DolyBegum @JessicaBellTO @beyrima @BissonGilles @fordnation #SaveEyeCare #onpoli

#SaveEyeCare Optometrists said no to the 39 million but they didn’t listen. This is not fair negotiation @celliottability @fordnation @OAOPresident

Ontario residents shouldn't have to leave the province to access primary health care. Listen to my full interview here: gila.ca/cbc2021nov16

Hey @CHogarthPC… doing anything interesting today? Did you catch @GilaMartow on @CityNews570? She said many good thing that @OntarioPCParty or private members could do. Hopefully we can have other MPPs join the side of their constituents.

Even one of Ford's own MPP's knows they've been heavy handed and have been playing games with Ontario optometrists. Our phone lines are open. The Health Minister has our President's personal cell phone number. We are still waiting for a call. #SaveEyeCare

We did not ask for your bribe money @celliottability @RobinMartinPC @fordnation nor did we ask for fees to be increased in line with physicians. Your lies make optometrists more poised to stand united. Every province has figured it out so why cant #ontario. #SaveEyeCare
