It is interesting how they claim there are no funds for public health, and then this happens

Public Health complains about funding.

The Ontario government boasts that they've spent more money on healthcare than any previous government (because it's on private)

just so long as it doesn't go to them poors. lets them waste away their lives working and PAY the taxes but the moment they come looking for any ROI, whops pockets out austerity again! What a cruel and sick joke. Glad I left that province.

Yes, they give money to private clinics to perform procedures that could be done in the public hospitals, if only there was enough money to fully staff them.

It's not just Ontario. In Gatineau, Quebec, the hospital has only one operating room out of four working, because there aren't enough nurses to run the other three.

Cannot wait for Doug Fraud to be gone. Even better would be if he would join his junkie brother.
