Nurses deserve to work in environments free from violence. That’s why today, CNA is proud to support Bill S-233, legislation that strengthens protections for health-care professionals—especially nurses—so they can provide care safely. Nurses are essential to the health of our communities, and violence in the workplace affects not only the nursing profession but the quality and continuity of care for patients and families. If passed, this bill would be a meaningful step toward addressing the violence and trauma nurses too often face in the course of their work. Ensuring the safety of health-care professionals is a responsibility we all share. CNA welcomes continued collaboration across all parties to make the safety of nurses and other health-care workers a policy priority. Watch CNA President, Kimberly LeBlanc speak live- youtube.com/live/zQHCgSsmr… -- Les infirmières et infirmiers méritent de travailler dans des milieux exempts de violence. C’est pourquoi l’AIIC est fière d’appuyer le projet de loi S-233, une mesure législative qui renforcera la protection des professionnelles et professionnels de la santé — en particulier des infirmières et infirmiers — afin qu’ils puissent prodiguer des soins en toute sécurité. Les infirmières et infirmiers sont essentiels à la santé de nos communautés, et la violence en milieu de travail nuit non seulement à la profession, mais aussi à la qualité et à la continuité des soins offerts aux patients et aux familles. S’il est adopté, ce projet de loi représenterait un pas important vers la réduction de la violence et des traumatismes auxquels ils font trop souvent face dans l’exercice de leurs fonctions. La sécurité du personnel de la santé est une responsabilité collective. L’AIIC accueille avec ouverture la collaboration de tous les partis afin de faire de la sécurité des infirmières, infirmiers et autres professionnelles et professionnels de la santé une priorité en matière de politiques publiques. Regardez la présidente de l’AIIC, Kimberly LeBlanc, en direct — youtube.com/live/zQHCgSsmr…

The Health Minister calling nurse layoffs in North Bay “appropriate” is a slap in the face to every frontline worker keeping our system afloat. Cutting nurses is not fiscal responsibility - it’s a choice that makes care worse & wait times longer. #onpoli nugget.ca/news/local-new…

@Avis_Favaro @Thetrilliumca Important information if you have someone in Long-term care homes. Hands on care is so important for seniors in these settings. Hours of care make a difference

Internal government data shows which long-term care homes met Ontario's hands-on care targets — and which didn't thetrillium.ca/news/health/in…

Today’s court ruling is what we’ve been warning about for months: Trump is unlawfully using the military to terrorize Americans, including kids and hardworking immigrants — many of whom have contributed to this country and are part of American families.

CNA met with Lesa Semmler, Minister of Health and Social Services for the Northwest Territories, and her team to highlight our advocacy for workforce optimization and retention in the territory, and to explore opportunities for collaboration as part of our ongoing engagement to work together to address challenges faced by the nursing workforce and health systems.

Hooboy. Has America run out of actual health practitioners with demonstrated experience improving public health outcomes? Or maybe it is just ones willing to betray the tenets and beneficiaries of public health that Trump and RFK Jr want them to do. x.com/ddiamond/statu…

The paradox of health care spending: a $400 air conditioner can help prevent a $15,000 hospital admission for heart failure or heat stroke in the summer.

According to the Financial Accountability Office, Doug Ford gov with Sylvia Jones will cut $21B from public healthcare by 2027-2028 while Ontario will be short 33,200 nurses & 55,853 PSWs by 2032—a projection the Ford gov tried to hide from Ontarians.

During negotiations, Sylvia Jones shockingly stated, “there is no concern of a diminished supply of family doctors, retention, recruitment of physcians is not a major concern” and "there was no family doctor shortage, just that doctors don't work as hard as before."
