Ontario’s hospital labour force is at a breaking point and is calling on a government with no effective plan to deal with the years-long staffing crisis to finally act.
For those who don’t know, Ford put a wage freeze on all healthcare workers who aren’t physicians around 2020, while the cost of living continued to go up. I believe a court struck down that wage freeze - which was in effect for about 3 years - some time in the last year. Last I heard from Ford’s gov’t, they planned to appeal the court’s decision
All part of the plan to erode trust in public healthcare so they can institute private healthcare and be hailed as heroes even though they destroyed a perfectly good system to replace it with the nightmare dystopia that our neighbours to the south have to live in.
Sure, but a few people will become enormously wealthy.
And that was the entire point.
What? Don’t you know that Ontario has hired 60,000 nurses and has 30,000 nurses in school? There is no health crisis, none at all. Or at least that’s what the government sponsored radio ads keep telling me…
The funniest thing to me is hearing a government sponsored ad patting themselves on the back for saying they’re doing something (it’s really all it is, saying they’re doing something with no evidence to back it up), followed by another ad refuting the government.
If they were actually doing something, they wouldn’t need to pay for ads telling people they did something.
This is why I listen to CBC, no ads (and probably why the CPC wants to defund them)
What’s crazy is there are nurses who vote for this shithead
