    The Honourable Christine Elliott Minister of Health College Park 5th Floor 777 Bay Street Toronto ON M7A 2J3 By Email: [email protected] December 4, 2020 Dear Minister Elliott, I am writing today regarding an issue of great concern to some 435 Ontario health care workers represented by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC). During the first wave of the pandemic, hospital employees who were unable to work due to a self-isolation requirement arising from a suspected COVID-19 exposure were provided leave with pay in instances where they were asymptomatic and not eligible for sick leave or WSIB. In accordance with direction received from the provincial government through the Ontario Ministry of Health, individual hospitals have begun to implement a very significant change in direction on this critical issue. Asymptomatic employees required to self-isolate due to a suspected exposure while awaiting test results will no longer be paid and are instead being urged to use other forms of leave such as vacation days. This is also being applied to situations where exposure is known to have occurred in the workplace. This new approach is completely unacceptable to our members. While there is no disputing the importance of self-isolation for any and all suspected cases of exposure to COVID-19, particularly in health care, it is abhorrent to penalize essential services workers unable to work due to self-isolation requirements meant to protect their colleagues and their patients. This is especially so when the exposure may have occurred in the workplace itself.

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 27, 2020 Quotation of the day “Peace room.” What the premier’s office says it is calling its logistics office dealing with teachers’ strikes. ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule There are three more weeks left of the winter break. The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. Premier watch Premier Doug Ford was in Mississauga Friday to re-announce funding for community policing. ​ ​ Specifically, the Peel Regional Police is getting $20.5 million from the Community Safety and Policing grant program, a $195-million envelope the PCs announced in mid-December. In Peel, some of the cash will go towards more neighbourhood watch services, police town halls and “cultural community outreach.” "My message to the criminals that are watching us now: we are coming for you, we are going to find you and we are going to lock you up for a long time,” Ford said at the news conference, which featured a well-armed police backdrop. ​ ​ Solicitor General Sylvia Jones, Attorney General Doug Downey, local PC MPPs and ex-PC ​ ​ ​ ​ leader-turned-mayor-of-Brampton Patrick Brown were also in tow. ​ ​ Brown and Ford had their first official sit-down since Ford took office at the Peel police station ​ ​ where the announcement took place. The pair discussed crime, CCTV cameras, courthouse resources and health care, according to the mayor. “I appreciate the cooperative tone,” Brown tweeted, alongside a “prayer hands” emoji. Ford defended the decision to appoint Toronto police constable Randall Arsenault to the ​ ​ Ontario Human Rights Commission, despite the fact he was not part of the official candidate selection process.

  • “As a Straight, White Man — Wait, Not White.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report February 6, 2020 Quotation of the day “As a straight, white man — wait, not white.” Liberal leadership candidate Alvin Tedjo, who is of Asian descent, makes a quip about using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ fellow contender Steven Del Duca’s speaking notes during the party’s LGBTQ forum. ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. In the park The Ontario Autism Coalition will stage a “freeze-in” to protest the Ford government’s delay in implementing a needs-based autism program. Families and advocates will march on the legislature’s south lawn and stand still for five minutes at 11:30 a.m. Coronavirus scare shines light on need for public health funding: NDP The Opposition and government traded barbs over concerns about the coronavirus at Queen’s Park on Wednesday. That’s despite the latest update from provincial health officials that there are no new cases beyond the three previously confirmed, and as the number of cases under investigation continued to drop this week. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath held a press conference to call on the PCs to reverse future ​ ​ funding cuts to public health, while Health Minister Christine Elliott’s office fired back that ​ ​ Horwath was trying to “score political points.” “Ontario’s expert public health officials have been unanimously clear: Ontario is prepared to effectively respond to the 2019 novel coronavirus, something Andrea Horwath herself acknowledged,” Elliott’s spokesperson Travis Kann said in an email statement. ​ ​ Kann added that public health officials have briefed the NDP three times on the matter in order to ensure all MPPs are informed and “to demonstrate that the health and safety of Ontarians is and always should be above politics.” Horwath did admit Ontario’s response to the outbreak has been “outstanding” but stressed that “we need to keep it that way.” She urged the PCs to cancel planned funding cuts and asked the government to review public health resources in order to keep Ontarians safe in the future.

Abstract The research seeks to bring awareness to how online discourse on Twitter can contribute to the reinforcement of unequal power relations against female electoral candidates. This project is a discourse analysis of gender perceptions of the 2018 Progressive Conservative Leadership Race and the 2018 provincial election as portrayed on Twitter. Using understandings of Liberal Feminism and Intersectionality, this project demonstrates the struggle of gender discrimination against women in political life and attempts to recognize the efforts of women attempting to shatter the glass ceiling.

  • “The Risk of a Carbon Tax Recession Is Very Real.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 22, 2019 Quotation of the day “The risk of a carbon tax recession is very real.” Premier Doug Ford takes fresh aim at Ottawa’s carbon backstop in an Economic Club ​ ​ speech. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House is recessed until February 19. In the park Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell hosted the Lincoln M. Alexander Awards ​ ​ ceremony in the LG Suite Monday afternoon.

This year’s winners are Manaal Chasso, Lisa Wang and Fiqir Worku, and you ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ can read more about their projects here. ​ ​ Ford: Beware “carbon tax recession” The premier took fresh aim at Ottawa’s carbon backstop Monday, saying it will trigger a recession in Ontario. Speaking to more than 1,000 business-minded people at an Economic Club luncheon at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Premier Doug Ford warned of tough economic times ahead ​ ​ thanks to the federal government’s carbon pricing. “A carbon tax will be a total economic disaster and there are already economic warning signs on the horizon,” Ford said in his prepared remarks. “There couldn’t be a worse time to impose a massive, job-killing tax on Ontario families and small businesses.” “The risk of a carbon tax recession is very real,” Ford said. But critics were skeptical. NDP environment and climate change critic Peter Tabuns accused Ford of “making things up to ​ ​ justify cash handouts to big polluters,” a reference to the $400-million taxpayer-funded “carbon trust” in the PC’s new climate action plan, which incentivizes businesses to reduce emissions.

Review of the 2018 Ontario Provincial Election Andrea M.L. Perrella Wilfrid Laurier University – Email address: [email protected] Simon J. Kiss Wilfrid Laurier University – Email address: [email protected] Barry J. Kay We are sad to note that Dr. Barry Kay passed away in December of 2019. He contributed to this review and had over the years provided much sought-after insight into election campaign dynamics. Abstract Ontario’s general election on June 7, 2018, brought the Progressive Conservative party to government for the first time in the 21st Century. The PCs’ victory over the incumbent Liberals, however, reached this point despite much turmoil. Months before the election the party faced a crisis when its leader, Patrick Brown, resigned amid a scandal. The PC party hastily organized a leadership election that put Doug Ford at the helm, who then led the party to victory. The following election review traces these steps and looks at some dynamics that contributed to both the PC leadership vote and the overall result of the election. The PC leadership election is analyzed, providing evidence that Ford’s rise may reflect some of the populist sentiment that has gripped other democracies. The analysis then turns to the general election, focusing on media coverage and issue salience, particularly as they relate to the party leaders. Survey data are examined to build some explanatory vote-choice models, which shows that voters in the general election appeared less moved by populism than a desire to punish the Liberals.
