Karen Littlewood, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, stated, "We just want to say, things aren't okay in education, things aren't okay in Ontario," emphasizing deep concerns about the current educational policies. She further criticized Premier Ford's joke about human patients being sent to veterinary hospitals, deeming it offensive and indicative of a larger systemic issue in health care, where patients face significant hurdles in accessing necessary medical services.
Stacy Kennedy, protesting at Ford Fest, expressed her frustration with the government's policies, holding a sign that read, "Welcome to Ontario. Diagnosed with cancer while Waiting to see a specialist." She shared her personal struggle, highlighting lengthy referral wait times of 18 to 24 months that directly impacted her cancer diagnosis, and pointed out her reliance on emergency services to eventually receive the necessary care.
