Long wait times have become increasingly common in Canada, leading some residents to travel outside of the country to have medical surgeries and procedures done sooner.

    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.

      This was happening long before Covid.
