We've been warning since 2015 that the urgent care centre promised for Windsor-Essex will not be an emergency department, contrary to statements by elected officials. Hopefully Brampton's disappointment will open people's eyes here.

Relocating all hospital healthcare to active farmland 13km from the city's most densely populated neighbourhood is poor planning.

Afternoon Drive Ryan Ness @ClimateChoices I loved this interview! It validates everything CAMPP has been saying since 2014 about the need for our new hospital in a more responsible location. Locating it on active farmland in a floodplain is #buildingforthepast. It's Windsor's worst planning mistake, ever.

Philippa von Z Citizens of Windsor: you must stop hospital in middle of corn field. Do whatever it takes. Over next 30+ years, nothing will improve Windsor as much as building the hospital downtown, and nothing as detrimental, as doing it in cornfield, building agri-land, sprawl! #ActNow!

The location of the new hospital 13km from the ❤️of Windsor will guarantee less access than currently via public transit, by bike or on foot.

Thinking about our greed and privilege. #Windsor ON🇨🇦planning development of 900acres paving farmland for a replacement hospital overlooking city’s sustainability and resilience. We don’t exist in a bubble. Our decisions affect the world #ClimateCrisis #FoodSecurity #urbansprawl

Modern cities place logistics companies and industrial parks by airports. They also place hospitals where people live at the time of the construction.

This is what happens at 1.2 degree of warming. Imagine what 2 degrees would be. It is time to join OCEC before it goes too far. #ClimateEmergency #onpoli #cdnpolitics

Many municipalities “have been burying their heads in the sand” about the hazards of floodplain development. But the risks are becoming increasingly visible, and not just when neighbourhoods are inundated.

Winning the race to build hospitals is not dependent on considering it a “done deal,” but rather responding to valid criticism from the community. windsorstar.com/opinion/letter…

Etienne van der Linde Dr AusCanDoc⚡️ alan drummond Parents/pts have no idea what a CTAS 4-5 complaint is & even if they did, every EP has cases of a critically unwell pt who was triaged as a CTAS 4-5.It’s a game of Russian roulette if we start to triage away from ED to a primary care system that has ltd capacity

This statement from @voteholtDOTca is a must read for all Windsorites. There are a lot of uncomfortable truths here about the hospital process. More importantly, there are a lot of good ideas to help rectify those issues. voteholt.ca/hospital

@voteholtDOTca You'd think the so-called financial hawks would have wanted to know the financial (and other) impacts of the biggest decision in Windsor for the next (several) generations. Of course, that report would have forced them to admit opponents have been right about costs all along.

Holt for Mayor @meeshkaO Yes! How much will selling the Met campus contribute to the build? How much will it cost to keep an actual ER downtown with surgical suites, etc.? How many long term care beds can be created downtown? Actually, how many beds are empty now that could be converted to LTC BEDS??
