Imagine having to provide payment to go to emerg. It is coming your way if the CONS are elected. People have no idea how ugly this is going to get. Rich people are investing in what they envision for healthcare, and if you think price fixing for bread was f&cked up just wait.
I told my husband that holding my protest sign in front of my useless MPP's office makes me feel I am doing something to push back against DuFord. I am just 1 older woman, but I will continue to do this once a week.
2 pillars of society that shouldn't be privatized are healthcare and education. Only rich benefit and those who are poor and struggling will never be able to live without fear. Fear of bankruptcy from illness, and fear not being able to properly educate the kids. Say NO TO CONS!
If you are poor, and voted for Ford because you hate the red party, you are going to pay one way or the other. Privatized healthcare and education only serve the rich.
Are you a farmer in Ont voting for Doug Ford? Do you support the paving over of farmland and wetlands for a highway that will bring no benefit to the people of Ont other than the millionaire developers who own that land?
On CBC a guest stated it was highly unusual for anyone to reach out and ask for someone to be invited as a guest, and even more unusual to have them acknowledged by the Speaker, but even more so when a visiting dignitary was also in Parliament. This whole thing stinks.
I watched PMJT talk to the press this morning before joining his caucus. I cannot even imagine PP standing there stating Canada's position on what is going on in Israel and Palestine. He is a sarcastic, disingenuous piece of crap. He isn't fit to be an MP.
It looks like Ontario media is doing the same thing for Ford that USA media did for Trump....lots of airtime, headlines. You'd think he was the only candidate for the job.
@Patricia_Ann_E
Same thing happened at a school in FL when I worked there. The front office staff thought the girl was faking and they sent her to class. She died in the art room.
What f7cking millenials are they polling that say they will vote for PP? Every news source saying this. It feels like "Ford will win with an overwhelming majority" BS before the last election. Voter suppression.
Did an hour in Fenelon Falls today. Was happy to hear that it started a discussion in the restaurant across the street. Only one douch7 felt he had to shoot the finger at me. He must be rich.
So for all those who are frothing at the mouth over PMJT vacation, please f7ck right off. He is the leader of the country. He is rich, and rich people vacation with other rich people. His family has known the others for decades. Have been likely donating to that charity for years
. Only 1 thumbs down from a guy driving an Acura. Most honks and thumbs up were from more modest vehicles. Most people walking wouldn't make eye contact. It's an interesting commentary on life. The more affluent won't mind privatization is my take away. The poor will suffer.
Anyone else here in the Kawartha Lakes area want to keep me company in front of the MPP's office one day? I have my sign all made that says "Ford is killing healthcare". We can huddle for warmth.
Pierre Poilievre will be doing everything he can to get jagmeet Singh to call a confidence vote before Christmas. Pierre is up in the polls and feels confident. Canadians better start thinking about what kind of country they want.
Pierre Poilievre is not the right choice.
@Unbranded63
Kind of tells you what is more important in society right? No one is trying to crush the police union when it's time to negotiate. Education helps to lift people out of poverty so the cops have less crime to deal with.
CBC why not ask why those pediatric hospitals are so backlogged for surgery. Shortage of nurses due to bill C124? Dropping mask mandates at the height of a virus sh7t storm? Starved of funding by DuFord in his attempt to privatize? Where is the real investigative reporting?
@Sflecce
I watched the video with the sound off and just made up my own script for what you were saying. "DuFord and me, we want to privatize ed. We didn't expect the push back that we got, and the lies we told were this big. If I move my hands enough when I am lying, I look sincere".
@brianlilley
LOL I just told the CUPE workers that I walked with today that this was the plan. Do you have a file of articles all ready to release each day? Step by step, play it all out. The end goal has always been privatization. What corporations are lined up for charter school licenses?
@ColinDMello
They are disgusting, and anyone supporting their actions are disgusting too. They have been greasing the wheels for this with their language right from the 1st day back to school. I am so pissed. These workers deserve a living wage. They do some of the hardest jobs in the system.
WTF happened in this country that every rando thinks they "deserve their time to speak to PMJT" or shout spittle flecked profanity? What supersized egos do these thwunts have to think that anything rolling around in their little underdeveloped cerebrum needs to be heard?
Wondering if people in Ontario are willing to act like the French do when the govt pisses them off? Or are we all just so complacent, we bend over and let Ford just do as he pleases.
@WLDB1988
@atRachelGilmore
I think that is how we should settle all of this. Put them in the boxing ring with PMJT. My money is on the guy with the good hair, nice socks, and can speak a complete sentence with complex thoughts.

@Bettie2
Me too! Education is in line to be privatized also. When the word "choice" starts to be bandied about you know what it coming.
Are you a nurse voting to support a government that has treated your profession like you just don't matter? It's okay, because when they privatize healthcare, and crush your unions, you will make even less.
Are you a teacher voting for a government that placed so much responsibility on your shoulders during COVID? Did they do anything to remediate air quality issues in your buildings? No, they demonize teachers for everything. It's okay.
Still waiting for the mandate letters? What is Duford hiding? Healthcare, education will be the first 2 hits. Listen carefully for words like "choice".
I hope the lists of people who attended the Convoy last year somehow get matched up to the list of folks who took CERB. They should be paying it back since they partied on the taxpayers' dime.
Your unions will be decimated and the new charter schools won't hire you. Your pay cheque will fall into line with other minimum wage workers, just like in the USA.
Thinking that all political parties "are just the same"? No, they aren't. Just cast your eyes south of the border.
@LisaEsther6
Told there are at least 20 families in the area that are C+, but no big deal. It's just the sniffles. OMG maybe for you, but not for those in our lives who are vulnerable. When did we get to be so Fing selfish?
Only one party will refuse to allow women autonomy. Only one party thinks the slaughter of innocent children will be fixed with "thoughts and prayers".
I will be ordering my Handmaid's Tale outfit to have at the ready when DuFord gets reelected.
@scott_robb
I tutor a Gr 10 student. He reads at a Gr 3 level. He wanted to talk politics last week. Everything out of his mouth were RW talking points. His uncle loves Trump but the kid had no idea who the leader of any opposition parties are here. Just knows he hates PMJT .
@teach_n_travel
@RichardCityNews
Crashing healthcare and education is his sole interest. Oh, and building McMansions highways on wetlands and rich farmlands. I am sure there are more that I have forgotten.
I made the mistake of checking out a local community FB page. They are still gathering for their "freedoms", and the vitriol towards PMJT is just mind-blowing. What the hell happened to these people, besides the fact that the hatred seems to be passed along in breast milk?
@tylerwatt90
It's the American Way. This is straight out of the GOP playbook. Starve it, break it, say it is broken, privatize and stand back while their buddies profit. This must not happen. I lived in FL for 16 yrs. For profit healthcare is not about health. It's about stuffing wallets.

As an older woman, I have waited 2 yrs for an gyn appointment. Thought I was getting in but the dr told my NP that it would be a long wait..LOL so unless you are popping out a baby, women's health seems to be non-existent when you hit menopause.
@bk_belton
Considering they had tons of flags and banners ready to go, and most of those poor truckers couldn't work because of their vax status, I am guessing lots of money from interests down south helped to fund the party. Check out

@ianhanomansing
Those private clinics will take the easy caseload and leave the more complicated cases for the public system. I lived in USA for 16 yrs. We don't need to move in that direction at all. Only people with money will benefit.
@ianhanomansing
Our system was broken on purpose. Politicians need to be held accountable for the decisions that have been made pushing us towards privatization. The only people excited by this are the ones who will profit from it. Education will be next.
@nilikm
People really don't understand the implications of all of this. After living in FL for 16 yrs and understanding the value of my healthcare in ON, I am so angry that so many sat out the election. It just paves the way for the cons to destroy the pillars of our society.

I think she is married to Tim Hudak. They keep all of them on speed dial when they need a "pro-lecce" tweet. Privilege is an amazing thing isn't it?
I have seen the teeth of children who live in poverty. They need dental care, and the fact that Pee-Elite would vote against something so very basic that has a real impact on the health of children is just unspeakable.
All the whiney F7cks who talk about losing freedom. Heckler was not arrested or tazed. That just proves how free this country really is.

@JustinTrudeau
Don't ever forget the end goal for DuFord is to privatize education and healthcare. Brian Lilley and Theo Fleury were already putting out their toxic crap about charter schools when they thought that things were going their boss's way. They're nt done. They'll attack in a dif way
@Sflecce
He is setting the stage to demonize teachers. He is not negotiating a contract. He is making speeches instead to create a negative attitude on social media to make it seem like only teachers will make it unstable.
Home from my local COSTCO. Very few masks. Looking at all those old folks who think that COVID is over. The kids are hoping you have made your will. 2x vaxxed won't stop the Kraken. Go get a booster before it's too late. This is going to be one of the most transmittable of all.
@SarahFischer__
Remembering the day when you couldn't get a credit card in your own name as a woman, or birth control pills if you weren't engaged to be married. You must be yearning for the good ole days eh? Silencing and denigrating women even if they are opposition is not a good idea.
@Captaincoby00
Same reason rural ONT votes Blue no matter who. It's been bred into their DNA that a CON govt will give farmers more money in their pockets, and cut taxes. Neither of which ever seem to be true unless they are in the 1%.
@LeslynLewis
I would trust PMJT to continue to lead the country. Your party platform consists of listing grievances without a single solution in sight. You all come off as unprofessional whiny little people who spend your lives finger pointing and crying wolf.
Doing my best to stay healthy. Wear a mask, walk every day. Changed our eating habits. Lost 10 lbs so far. Doing it because healthcare may become non-existent for people with little disposable in.

Here comes the "Pierre show", when media that is owned and operated by US interests steeps their customers in opinion as opposed to facts. Doug Ford was crowned the winner of the election weeks before we actually voted by this kind of crap. They'll be complicit in Can's downfall
Just a reminder that in 1975 fam doc wouldn't prescribe BC pills to me because I was unmarried. No credit card in my own name in 1980. Second class citizen woman.
USA rolling back the clock. Women's rights are still fragile it seems.
@Qualifyfor
@CBCNews
I find the tone absolutely stunning at times. They were practically gloating over the Ford re-election. There is no news station to watch that doesn't seem to be directly cheer-leading for the CONS.
Can you even imagine having to drive 30mins when in medical distress because
