- ONA’s recent win at the Superior Court saw the Ford government’s “election muzzling” bill struck down. Now, Doug Ford is attempting to override the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Constitution in order to silence our voices.
- No Ontario Premier has ever invoked the notwithstanding clause. This is an extreme abuse of power to achieve personal gain. It shows disrespect for our courts and it is a violation of our Charter Right to freedom of expression.
- When campaigning to get elected, Doug Ford promised, in no uncertain terms, that he and his government would “listen to the front-line doctors and the nurses.” This is why we are appealing to all PC MPPs to take a stand against these extreme actions.
- Nurses will not be silenced! We must fight to protect our ability to criticize government policies and speak out on important public policy issues, like repealing Bill 124. It is critical that our voices are heard and amplified in the lead up to the provincial election.
