We recently learned that WSIB will be cutting funding for the Hamilton and District Injured Workers’ Group and other injured worker outreach services across Ontario. As my colleague @jamiewestndp.bsky.social has said, you can’t say you support workers if you don’t support injured workers.

When 2 million people do not have access to primary care, we need to be welcoming international medical graduates, not putting up more barriers. #onpoli #health

It was my honour to present a petition from Hamilton Centre residents and health workers calling to stop healthcare privatization and immediately implement safe nurse-to-patient ratios. @ontarionurses.bsky.social we stand with you!

✨ Proud constituency moment ✨ This tax season our amazing constituency team filed taxes for 417 Hamilton Centre residents! Many thanks to my incredible constituency team who serve our Hamilton Centre community every day 🧡

Today I joined highschool students from across Hamilton for their protest to Save OSAP! For some students, it was their first time attending a protest. This is the kind of energy we need 🧡 #SaveOSAP

Thank you to CMHA Hamilton and all of the local agencies that participated in the kick-off of Mental Health week in Hamilton 🧡

Mental healthcare is healthcare. We need universal access to high-quality, publicly-funded mental healthcare in Ontario. #mentalhealthweek

Despite what Ford says, Ontarians still care about the Greenbelt scandal and deserve to know what their government was up to.

✨Attention to those applying for Ontario Grant funding: Grant-writing workshops are coming to Hamilton to provide information and strategies on writing a successful application. Register to attend: forms.office.com/Pages/Respon...

The Conservative government should be focused on helping our hospital workers provide the highest level of care, not how much gratitude they’re getting in return. #onpoli #health

“Politics is nothing but medicine on a larger scale” The practice of politics could learn a lot from the practice of medicine: be curious, be compassionate, and centre the needs of those you serve above all else. #onpoli #ontariondp #health #medicine

It’s difficult to find words to express the depth of pain so many of our community members are experiencing in this moment. We must all work for a world in which our kids are not impacted by gun violence, and where everyone can grow up safely.

Thank you to the Boys and Girls Club of Hamilton and Goodwill Hamilton for inviting me into your space to meet with your teams and celebrate your incredible contributions to our Hamilton community 🧡 @ontrillium.bsky.social

We need universal pharmacare in Ontario and I won’t stop working until we get there. Sign the petition if you agree! www.robinlennox.ca/pharmacare

Thank you to the team at Hamilton General Hospital for having me into the Urgent Medical Day Unit to learn more about the innovative model that is providing hospital care during the day, with the ability to return home to your own bed at night.

Thanks to the Ward 2 office and @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social for organizing a Tenant Forum where I was able to join a panel with Nrinder Nann, @tammyhwang.bsky.social, and @ward1wilson.bsky.social ilson to talk about issues impacting tenants in Hamilton.

The work doesn’t stop here. The Ontario NDP will continue to push back against the PCs and their mission to hide Ford’s cellphone records at any cost.

Request Form: forms.office.com/r/zQ88BrBe1V Spring is here and lawn signs are sprouting up all across Hamilton Centre 🧡🌱 Lawn signs are a great way to spruce your garden and start a conversation with your neighbours to engage our community in dialogue about the changes we need 🗣️ #hamont

We don’t need million-dollar ads about Ontario healthcare paid for with tax-payer dollars. The best advertisement would be an open sign on every rural ER, every day of the week. #onpoli #health

Do you know what else was missing in the budget? ❌ No funding for mandatory nurse-to-patient ratios ❌ No funding to ensure wage parity between acute care and community nurses ❌ Nothing to reverse the 700 nurse lay-offs since Jan 2025 Our nurses deserve better. We need an Ontario NDP government 🍊

Seems like a lot of effort just to hide Ford’s personal cellphone records 🤷🏻‍♀️ In all seriousness, this is a gross attack on our democratic right to know what our government is up to. We cannot accept this unprecedented level of secrecy. ➡️Go to ontariondp.ca/foi today to take action! #onpoli

Ensuring all Ontarians have access to team-based primary care means ensuring that all team members are fairly compensated and that we’re able to retain healthcare staff. #primarycare #onpoli

Housing is a provincial responsibility! If the political will was there, we could end chronic homelessness. We know the solutions needed, we just need a government that will step up and implement them. #onpoli #housing #homelessness

Add Your Name: www.robinlennox.ca/our_hospital... It’s the same Conservative playbook again and again: take a public system, defund it until it reaches a breaking point, then introduce privatization as a solution. We must protect public healthcare.

The drastic cuts to hospital budgets imposed by the Conservative government are putting hospitals in an impossible position: cut jobs or cut services. A strong healthcare system means a healthier population and a stronger economy. #onpoli #health #hospital

The Conservatives have failed to address the housing crisis. We need to get the government back to building affordable housing. We need rent control and protections for tenants. We need an Ontario NDP government.

There are tangible solutions to our health care crisis - if we invest wisely in our public healthcare system we can: ✅ reduce wait-times ✅ eliminate hallway healthcare ✅ improve primary care access ✅ ensure that patients get the right care at the right time

Addressing the primary care crisis means diving deeper into the issues. For the expansion of primary care teams to be a success, we need to ensure we retain and recruit the family physicians and NPs needed for those teams to be sustainable.

New year, fresh newsletter! Sign up: robinlennox.ontariondp.ca

These days I wish the practice of politics resembled the practice of medicine a lot more. I will continue to bring the front-line perspective to Queen’s Park and carry forward the stories of my patients and constituents so that we may bring about much-needed change.

It’s a New Year and our office is back open after a short holiday break. Come visit us to pick up a lawn sign, sign a petition, or get assistance from our constituency team!

As our hospitals are overwhelmed with flu cases, we are hearing next to nothing from our Minister of Health & Chief MOH. Public health won’t happen on its own. We need a province-wide campaign to increase flu vaccine uptake and relieve the burden on acute care. #onpoli

Since the Conservatives formed government, wage theft has has gotten worse. This means money stolen out of workers’ pockets due to corporate greed. What’s worse is that the Ford Conservatives have allowed wage theft to unchecked by stopping proactive inspections and failing to recoup stolen wages.

A massive THANK YOU to all of our end of year donors so far! Your support gives us the funding we need to hire organizers, train volunteers, host community building events and continue the work we need to do between now and the next election 🧡 Robinlennox.ontariondp.ca to make your EOY donation!

Thank you to everyone who joined our Merry MPP Matinee today! It’s wonderful to see neighbours gather and enjoy some holiday fun. And the most gratitude to our amazing constituency team that made the magic happen 🎄

To keep our hospitals in good health, we need to care for them just like they care for our communities. That means funding them adequately so that there are enough hospital beds to match demand, wait-times are reduced, and we can ensure safe staffing ratios. #onpoli #health #hospitals

Expanding prescription medication coverage is a win-win: better health outcomes, out-of-pocket savings, and savings for our health system. Pharmacare now! www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

The Conservative government’s cut to hospitals are being felt by healthcare workers and patients alike. Our hospitals are already the most fiscally efficient. Cutting their budgets will mean fewer staff & services available We need care not cuts! #onpoli #health www.thespec.com/news/hamilto...

TL;DR: the Minister of Health is satisfied with only some of Ontarians having access to the essential medications they need. I believe we can (and must) do better to ensure equitable access to healthcare for all. #onpoli #health #pharmacare

We need pharmacare now! www.robinlennox.ca/join_federal... ➡️Sign the petition or reach out to your MPP and the Minister of Health today demanding action on pharmacare!

Happy to share our new review paper on management of injection drug use-associated endocarditis, including recommendations from a multidisciplinary group in Canada Incl. integrating substance use care in hospital and not requiring abstinence as a condition for surgery onlinecjc.ca/article/S082...

Thank you to @cdndrsformedicare.bsky.social for bringing us together to call on the Premier and Minister of Health to enter into a bilateral agreement with the federal government for pharmacare now!
