I am so tired of hearing about how much your government has spent on health care when the problems with health care just seem to be getting worse and worse.
Your government's inadequate action on the understaffing issues, the overworking of existing staff and the general burnout of our public-sector health-care workers is like criminal negligence.
The premier is making working in the public health-care system unbearable and is driving away our hospitals existing workers. The system is on fire and the premier is trying to extinguish it with a water pistol.
Pretending to spend more money, while not keeping pace with inflation, only papers your government's "behind" while the situation worsens year after year.
Doug Ford will be long remembered for destroying the long-term viability and affordability of Ontario's health-care system.
