Today, on the podcast we have the great honour of hearing from Dr. Jill Andrew, the MPP from Toronto-St Paul’s, and in this episode she describes her fight against the profit model in long term care homes, the issues facing queer seniors, and opposing the homophobia and transphobia that so housed within the Ford government.

We spoke about the Ontario Senior Pride Network's submission to the long-term care commission. Read more about it here: http://cloud2.snappages.com/dc2e80b91489071f85f20ad99eab8984caed145e/LTC%20COVID-19%20Commission%20Submission.pdf.
