I have to hand it to the Sylvia Jones. I didn't think anyone could make Home Care worse in Ontario, but she found a way: https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/ottawa-man-died-ontario-home-care

After Ottawa man died alone, concerns about Ontario home care increase

The death of an Ottawa man who was waiting for home care that never came is raising concerns that others might also fall through the cracks.

Not keeping up with inflation as the population ages is a quieter way to cut healthcare. These are passive cuts to healthcare, more invisible than Harris and Eves' closing of thousands of hospital beds. Good on the OHA, the ONA, and unions for trying to help the public understand. #OnPoli #OnHealth

We know Jeff Leger and SDM have lied before (Nota bene: bsky.app/profile/chri...), and I think the Minister's briefing notes probably are the more accurate version. But remember, Ford is trying to ensure that ministerial briefing notes cannot be FOIed anymore. #OnPoli #OnHealth

So Doug Ford has money for a private European spa on prime waterfront land and to replace a Science Centre that didn't need replacing, but is bleeding a dental program for poor children dry? And I'm so grateful that @[email protected] continues to be a truth-teller. #OnPoli #OnHealth

Dougie has had nearly 6 years to bring this one into force: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/20d08. Why haven't they moved forward on their provincial defibrillator strategy?

I know it’s only February but today will be the best day of my year.

After *only* a year and a half, I got the call I’ve been waiting for…

I am getting a family doctor!! 👨‍⚕️

And the absolute BEST news… it’s at the clinic closest to my house, where my former doctor now practices.

I’ve requested to be rostered with him. Keep your fingers crossed for me! 🤞🤞🤞
