Ontario Long-term Care Minister Paul Calandra stands in the legislature at Queen's Park in November 2021. His party used its majority Wednesday to pass the controversial Bill 7, which could see some patients moved from hospitals to long-term cares homes not of their choosing.
Do they end up at those cess pools we heard about during the worst of Covid?
Yeah but, there are no nursing home beds available. It's just verbal diarrhea.
Temporary is BS
Another freedom being taken away and CBC being the Prostitute they are, question nothing! Canada is now a FASCIST DICTATORSHIP!
Someone eligible for LTC has a limited amount of time left. It is cruel to separate an elderly person from family caregivers for say, 6 months, when they might only live another year. That time is precious.
Or their kids could look after them at home like the generations in the past always did. The problem is no one wants to make sacrifices for their parents anymore & I do not know why
DavidPiccini is this the right decision for Northumberland and why? Why no public discussion?
This is nothing new. It's been policy for years. You take the first available place or go to the bottom of the list.
If we use some hotels to accommodate refugees/homeless, why can't we transfer those hospital patients who needs no medial cure; to these hotels and hire some PSWs to assist their daily routines, if sending them home is not possible. Some custom set-up is for sure.
They say temporary but it’s not so now we have the fight of our lives to get someone moved closer to home (he’s currently 115km away or 1.5 hrs IF the highway isn’t closed)
'temporary' Ha!
'because of the urgent need to free up acute care beds in hospitals, which have faced unprecedented pressures in recent months largely due to a shortage of nurses.' So the Ford government creates a nursing shortage and uses that crisis to force seniors into horrific facilities.
The same long term care centres owned by his buddies that were a hot mess during COVID. Shame.
Doug Ford has to force people into those LTC death facilities so their CEO's can exploit seniors for profit.
Creating tragedies through policies, interesting, any more bright ideas...👇🤔 is there connecting dots here... Picking on the weak, talk about bullying...👀
just long enough to kill them.. bastard Ford..
Income tax was temporary too!
Just starting the carnage !
Yeah they always say it's on a temporary basis first...
Despicable. Thank you, non-voters.
So much for trust, accountability & transparency.
in socialist societies the weak & infirm are always the first to go
Ontario voted for this so that's what you get. Ontario likes incompetent leadership. McGuinty, Wynne and Ford twice. The most powerful province in Canada with the most feckless leadership. It's embarrassing
Shameful, and so disrespectful to our senior citizens.
… because Conservatives are all about “freedom”
We really don't care about the elderly all that much, until we are one of the elderly.
still haven't seen you report on what other provinces do! so biased
Many of those seniors will have no one to advocate on their behalf or monitor their care in the LTC homes. These homes are all still short staffed. Congrats to all who voted for Ford or didn't bother to vote at all, now you can watch compassion be stripped away from healthcare.
