My sister is a nurse here in London, Ontario. She is working hard but not over-worked. That was last year.I'm worried about here in Ontario. We already have an underfunded and overloaded health care system and now we have a premier who wants to privatize. 2 years ago he essentially froze nurse's and other health care workers' wages, capping them at 1% per year. So basically take an already overworked work force and fuck them over even more so they all quit. Then in a few years when we're all waiting years for operations or 10 hours in emergency he can say public healthcare can't keep up and his buddies roll in and privatize.
I had my open heart surgery postponed 3 times in 2020 due to covid problems here including lockdowns. I had the surgery in October 2020.
Covid has caused all sorts of problems that governments are having trouble grappling with. None are doing a great job.
I will say this though: I would rather Premier Ford be in-charge here than Andrea Horvath and her NDP circus.
