LOBLAWS: is funding "Maple" a virtual-care that charges $69.00 for a Doctor's visit !! #CanadaHealthAct be damned. Not only are they #PandemicProfiteers, gouging us with food prices - now they're doing the same with healthcare

“The ER nurses have offered up more than 100 potential fixes to their unit's understaffing problems” but no one listened. So the nurses had a sit in & they all but shut down the ER. Guess what? Management is listening. #nursesknow #strike #standup cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…

FACT: If Ontario's for-profit long-term care facilities had the same lower death rate as municipal long-term care, over 1,400 fewer people would have died in 2020. So why on earth is the Ontario government expanding this failed model of for-profit healthcare elsewhere?

Influenza in Canada is in sharp decline and is "now below expected pre-pandemic levels". Influenza-related hospitalizations for those <16 yrs are also way down. This was almost exclusively Influenza A. Will we see Influenza B in the near future?

Over 1.8 million Ontarians don’t have a family doctor. So the government’s health line is referring patients to a virtual-only physician service that charges $55 for a single live chat (not OHIP covered). This is how they sneak in two-tier healthcare…right under our noses.

Report on the costs of COVID misinformation in Canada: *Led to more cases, hospitalizations & deaths *Cost hundreds of millions of dollars *Significant erosion of public trust *Warrants a coordinated national response bit.ly/3WEvOuO with Timothy Caulfield & others

In long-term care, do you think that only 1 nurse & 2 PSWs caring for 30+ frail elders who need assistance with bathing, feeding, toileting, dressing, taking meds AND monitoring in case of decline in health...is acceptable? How do we as a society still allow this to happen?

So sad: After 73 years of marriage, an Ottawa couple has been forced to live in separate long-term care homes for 19 months. Why? Because the Ontario government has brought in changes which make it virtually impossible to unite couples in long-term care. The system is broken.

- the newest homes are built with 1 shower and bath for 32 residents to share. - there is minimal activities and activity staff, residents sit for hours alone unstimulated and bored. - products & supplies from razors, briefs too towels are of poor quality and supply ...

Public health malpractice. Even though this is considered practice of community medicine, there’s no mechanism for bringing a complaint as there would be for any other medical specialty.

If the pandemic was over wouldn’t the curves have flattened out by now? Or is it the endemic phase wasn’t the panacea Doug Ford Justin Trudeau had hoped for? How long will they ignore the deaths of Canadians? Vaccines should be required in schools & masking too.
