I am getting sick and tired of having to pay a fee now whenever I go to see my doctor at 1 Quarry Ridge Rd., to see my federal MP who has an office on Huronia Road or go to the same lot to get an ultrasound, plus having to pay any time I need to go to RVH to visit a friend, a family member or to get tests done.
Next, we will need to pay to park and go grocery shopping.
This is getting ridiculous and is nothing more than a cash grab.
We are in the middle of a recession here and people are finding it hard enough to keep on top of their bills, pay rent or mortgage payments, buy groceries, etc.
Why is the government allowing this?
Something needs to be done. Enough is enough!
