    With long wait times becoming a defining characteristic of Canada’s health-care system,

    Here’s the toxic spin.

    By not stressing that our medical system is a temporary mess thanks to COVID fallout, it paints our system as normally a wreck. This is disingenuous and echoes the same irresponsible comments made by one of our political parties not in power and not possessing a history of care themselves.

    Horribly irresponsible.

      Here in Ontario Ford’s government is busy under-funding, dismantling, and privatizing our healthcare. This is a system that was in slow decline, COVID nearly broke, and which is now being abused by the government in power. This is anything but a temporary problem.
