5G Auto-Immune Disease: Why Premier Doug Ford's we can do better is not good enough
It
is apparent that the Government of Ontario's negligent attitude which
led to horrific coronavirus fatalities in the province's long term care
facilities has not changed one iota.
Long-term care in Ontario "needs to be changed," an
emotional Doug Ford has said, moments before his office confirmed
the premier's mother-in-law, who lives in a seniors home, had tested
positive for COVID-19.
Ford, whose 95-year-old mother-in-law lives in a Toronto home with an
outbreak of the virus, choked back tears during his daily briefing as
he discussed families of long-term care residents trying to communicate
with their loved ones.
My
first question when I heard this is did Premier Ford's mother-in-law
get the coronavirus as a result of living in the same kind of squalor
that other senior citizens in our province have faced?
My
second question is that during this coronavirus crisis what steps if
any did our Premier take in protecting his mother-in-law from getting
the coronavirus?
My
third question is that was it necessary for his mother-in-law to be
left in such an extended care facility during a pandemic when the
Premier knew that such facilities have been ravaged by the coronavirus?
Should senior citizens expect that Premier Doug Ford will protect them any more than the Premier's own mother-in-law?
"The system — we can do better," Ford said, pausing for a moment. "The
system needs to be changed and we're changing the system"
It
may be all well and good for you and I to simply say "we can do
better". But, when you actually have power like the Premier of Ontario,
coming out in front of the cameras and simply saying that is simply not
good enough.
For
Premier Ford's apparent remorse to be anything more than a feign and
hypocritical act of "crocodile tears" it is incumbent of him to
immediately lay out of plan to ensure that the quality-of-living of all
our senior citizens are protected from exploitative slum landlords with
the same haste of his plans associated with supporting small business
people and other Ontarians.
Our senior citizens ought not to be relegated in such facilities. Government support of home care and other such innovative public policies is the kind of legislation that Premier Doug Ford could be providing along with the Government of Ontario taking over the management of such facilities away from the private slumlords.
We have a provincially run LCBO which sells more liquor than any other retailer in the world.
Let's also have a provincially run Extended Care Provincial Crown Corporation which is operated on a not-for-profit basis the best support to seniors in the world with the same mode of efficiency as our LCBO.
