Today's AG report shows the extent that Northern healthcare has been neglected by this government. We need a healthcare strategy that will keep Northern hospitals open and address the growing wait times for services. #onpoli michaelmantha.ca/post/mpp-micha…

Too often I hear from Northerners who cannot afford to make it to their medical appointments. We need to fix the Northern Health Travel Grant to ensure everyone can get the treatment they need wherever they are in Ontario. #onpoli northernontario.ctvnews.ca/private-member…

Patients in Northern Ontario already face many barriers to accessing healthcare. Being forced to pay up front hundreds of dollars in travel costs and never being fully reimbursed to receive medically necessary care should not be an added one.

Northern Cancer Care is a MUST service for communities across the North … don’t cut the service … listen to the needs and enhance them!!!

Farmers should be in control of the land they own and be able to decide who they sell it to, NOT the government. #OntarioAgriculture #christianfarmersofontario #ontariofederationofagriculture #onpoli #Wilmot

Hey Doug Ford Sylvia Jones In the past 2wks (336h) I spent 300 hours on ER call then drove 6h home. Tomorrow I will drive 13h then be on ER call for 24h again. How much harder do you suggest I work? Healthcare system is surviving by personal sacrifice. Action is needed!
