Doug Ford Furious At Doug Ford For Cutting Funding To Long-Term Care Homes

May 28

Written By Scott Slute

Toronto - After the Canadian military’s report on the state of long-term care homes was released, Doug Ford has stated how disappointed and angry he is over Doug Ford’s health care cuts that led to the homes being in this state.

After Premier Ford cut $300 million in health care funding in 2018, Doug Ford was simply appalled to see the state of Ontario’s healthcare system as a result of Doug Ford’s cuts.

“The person who is responsible to the healthcare cuts that led to these despicable conditions should be ashamed of himself,” said Ford, referring to when Doug Ford reduced the LTC homes budget to 1% of the total healthcare budget.

Ford, who campaigned in 2018 to cut healthcare funding and followed through on that promise after being elected by the people of Ontario, was a sickened by the state of the homes caused by Doug Ford’s actions.

“I can’t believe the conditions that these poor, sick people were living in,” said Doug Ford, who also cut funding to dementia research and care last year.

Ontario residents who hated Doug Ford but now love Doug Ford after he has been handling the current pandemic by just acting in a way that any semi-decent person would, are pleased with the premier’s words.

“I’m glad Doug Ford is going to bring the right people to justice,” said Clarence Woode, who may be on his way to living in a LTC home since he clearly forgot everything Doug Ford did as premier prior to March of this year, “Whoever cut all the funding to these homes is a terrible person and needs to be punished by Mr Ford.”

Doug Ford further announced that Ontario would be taking over five private long term-care homes, a move which stand’s in defiance of Doug Ford’s support of having more privatized health care.

I've got bad news for all you lefties. Fact is, after the unaccountable public health officials finally allow everyone to go back to work, and the economy to re-establish itself, governments are not going to have any money for higher standards of care, more nurses, or more public oversight of Long Term Care homes. Because of the disastrous decision to shut down the entire economy instead of focussing on the most vulnerable, the kind of money you'd like to see spent in this sector will be a pipe dream. We're all going to have to live with the idea that ending up in a LTC home isn't very appealing, and in fact it will be worse, not better, than it is now.

But don't fret too much, China's economy will also be in a tailspin, so they probably won't be able to cook up another virus for quite a while.

LTC has been an ongoing issue long before Ford came to power a couple of years ago. Through this pandemic at least he is going to try and get it back on track.

And for those that think this is a Ford issue, you may be forgetting how the Ontario Liberals handled inspections...

July 2016: "Three years after it vowed to do more to protect nursing home residents, Ontario’s Liberal government is quietly pulling the plug on yearly inspections at more than 500 homes, Postmedia News has learned."

Which is it?
Are you right wingers all for cutting health services in the middle of a pandemic to try and balance the budget?
Or do you now recognize that public health care is import and support funding it?

I find it hard to believe you can't see the same point is being made. It was already a struggle to find money to put into LTC homes, and now there will be even less money. Get it now?

You can "want to" put money into something until you're blue in the face, but you need to find the money to do it. And sorry, your traditional whipping horse of corporations and the 1% are going to be low on cash for quite a while, so don't count on increased tax revenue during a recession.

Now that we're broke, there is no additional money for public health care. Get used to it, and pray that the private sector (which is the source of all wealth) can somehow bail us all out in time for the next pandemic. Hopefully, no one will be stupid enough to get in their way as they try to do so.

The title pretty much sums it up. It was the Mike Harris days of cuts now catching up to us. It would be cheaper to hire a support worker to come to your home or condo 2-3 times a week.

Doug Ford is also furious at Doug Ford for shutting down the province and thus tanking the economy and provincial revenue.

Still stuck on that "cutting" myth?
Are you furious that Ford is going to fix this despite the Liberals destroying LTC over their 15 years of rule?

There is no better person to lead this province through this pandemic as he has demonstrated.
Might be difficult for Ford haters to accept, but it's the truth.

Oh yes, that invisible "iron ring" done real good now.

How many LTC deaths under furious Doug Ford's watch is it now?

He does wear that decision. That's what happens when you delegate a political decision to a bureaucrat who has no incentive to take even the slightest amount of risk.

The weird thing is, as unpopular as that decision makes him with me, it seems to have bolstered his popularity with people like you. Better hope he runs federally, or you could be living in Ford's Ontario for a while.

Do you support Ford's cuts to health care or are you against them?
What is your plan to pay for COVID support?

Kinda hard to answer you question about something that didn't happen isn't it.

Feds need to pay for COVID support. They can get the money from their friends in China.
