“The nurses are showing up. Doctors are showing up. Paramedics are showing up. All across the system, the people who care for the people we care for most are showing up. Why is it that the minister [of health] and Premier Ford can't show up?” Ontario Liberal MPP John Fraser said at Queen’s Park on Tuesday morning.
CTV News Toronto and CP24 have reached out to the minister for an interview on multiple occasions since she was sworn in, but on each attempt, the request has been declined.In a statement issued last week, a spokesperson for Jones acknowledged that Ontario’s health system is says its members have reported that about 25 hospitals were forced to make changes over the long weekend due to staff shortages across the province.
Meanwhile, Dr. Adil Shamji, an emergency doctor and Liberal MPP for Don Valley East, says that 13 different emergency departments in the province have been forced to close. “And that is just the tip of the iceberg,” he said.
ياحسين 💔😔
It takes some time to be properly trained health-care workers need to have the skills and knowledge to practice there should be a certified nursing AIDE course and do away with PSW OR HAVE ALL RNS AND RPNS
And yet they address nothing and skate around the issue. Repeal Bill 124. Fund healthcare appropriately. Crisis happening across the province worse than other areas. RepealBill124Staffburnoutfordnation doesn’t care
We need to fix our own issues here in Canada and it starts with Tax dollars being used on Healthcare instead of immigration from Countries that refuse to fight for their own Country. Sorry but truth is truth
Stop shutdowns by stopping mandates on shots and boosters their makers show in data to be more harmful than good. Quit testing asymptomatic shot takers who test positive and get sick after the shot. They were not vaccines as we defined them (CDC/Canada changed the definition)
Doug Ford wants to have Private Healthcare in Ontario. I doubt that he or the Health Minister are doing anything to fix this.
Resign
Why is more g○v€rnm€nt involvement wanted in health care ?
Maybe if we stopped cutting the health cate budget every friggin' year we could staff and supply hospitals properly.
Fox this already!!!!! You ran on similar promises 4 years back. What’s the hold up?
It will take years to repair the damage that was done by retiring and fired healthcare workers by forced jabs. Mandates have consequences.
fraudfordresign 18% is not an endorsement Now I’m wondering was the election a fraud too ?
Now that they have conned everyone into giving them a majority government they can continue to get nothing done.
You should fire more nurses and doctors as you have during the pandemic
I’m not confident at all in these two doing anything to help save our health care system.
The cowards will deflect, blame others and tell the citizens to stop getting hurt so they don't use the system. I hope the non voters are happy.
Oh wow. CP24 finally asking where Doug’s been for months. Who twisted their arm?
These guys are useless. 4 more years of ford will be a train wreck for health care in this province. My mother in law spent 9 hours in the emergency in a hallway… thx ford!
maybe firing health care workers for not getting the experimental vax was a bad idea?! Time to admit you were wrong and reinstate those workers with backpay
Doug- ‘We need some immediate and swift action, where do we need to concentrate”? Sylvia- ‘We need medical professionals, as many as we can get, to alleviate the strain, without this things will digress quickly, more closures’ Doug- ‘Where can we get them’? Both- 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Wrong Conservative owned ! Ontario hospital shutdowns lead to mounting calls for RESIGNATION of Premier & Minister of Health. I want cafreeland to draft new legislation to have health transfers sent directly to Ontario public health units and not the Provincial coffers.
RaymondGagne10 so SylviaJonesMPP made an appearance and said nothing ... NOT ACCEPTABLE ... tell us what you are doing?
Can't someone go up to Doug's cottage and wake him up?
Experience this first hand in the last few months 30 hours waiting to be admitted While my sister was bleeding internally.Can’t explain the Craziness that was the Emergency Wards. fordnation government as billions of dollars.Definitely not using it for the health care system!!!
It’s all a distraction for what’s next. I hope you’ve all prepared. Stop looking at any politician. They are all distractions. No one is coming to save us. The media is guiding us to what they want us distracted by. Focus on your life. Build protection around you. Prepare.
All but option 2
Medical and Science schools should be tuition free. Doctors, Nurses etc should be a priority for everyone's sake.
This is a crises .. The minister expected to have an emergency plan till this issue resolved. like an announcement that these hospitals would be closed over this weekend and in case of emergncies you would need to go to these hospitals instead !!
This should not be happening in 2022
Ford to Ontarians: drop dead! Reminds me of Gerry Ford! CdnMediaFailed
Hospital er should never shut down nor have a 21 hour wait that’s bulllcrap
larks_what Or step down. Either one.
fordnation as someone who voted for you, please do your job and make all of us that voted blue proud to have you as our premier.. hospitals should NOT be in dismay like this
Maybe the people at the hospital have their vacation time. It's not a good time to get sick. We have that corona virus stuff going around, and that homosexual monkey pox disease. It's not a good situation for anybody. Everybody wants vacation in August, just don't get sick.
Doug Ford is the American version of Trump.
Don’t be naive. There is already underground private health in Ontario. Most ppl just aren’t aware. Doug Ford is not privatizing, he is legalizing. 2-tier and 3-tier systems work well in developed countries like Japan and the UK.
CP 24 Please tell Doug Ford we want him out of office today At least that way there he can spend 365 days a year at his cottage
Did a lot of nurses take the long weekend off? Are they being kept off work for extender periods for a cold? Lots of factors including not allowing unvax against the science
13 hours at Sunnybrooke last Tues. before I saw a dr., then 5 more hours to have and get results from 2 tests … never experienced it this delayed before.
Doug Ford there's no place for you here we as a province can't let you destroy us anymore pls leave
I bet NS hospitals will be next. Many are overcapacity already and it isn't even flu season yet.
What are the chances he will blame Trudeau?
Blame the Ontarian who elected him to the second term falling in trap of coupe of hundred dollars Cheque he handed over to them before the election.
hey just take the money from the people on odsp to pay for the hospitals because they are making bank right Dougie boy?
fordnation maybe use some of that “$5 Billion” excess in the budget?
This 👨
Yes, that's why you guys chose them with 77 seats to govern Ontario for another term! They paid you back the LicencePlate Stickers, and have already [will also] cut a lot and a lot and a lot!
Hire more staff that don’t want the sniffle risk That’s the problem Keep bringing over the minorities Then
Mounting calls for them to resign. But they will not, plenty of support from 'donors ' and 'media ' NeverVoteConservative
Ontario health Minister and premier ford have no education and they in charge of our health care system she has radio broadcasting diploma from collage and ford is a dropout what type of bs is this and any other job u go to they ask u for experience lol
Its okay. The premier and the moh care more about golfing than Ontarioians health care. WhereIsDougFord whereissylviajones CdnMediaFailed
Hospital beurocrats need more raises? Seems to be the repeated plan to solve stuff...perhaps hire more highly paid office staff?
About fucking time you reported on this
Sorry he’s at his cottage
Finally you are reporting real news.
Go ask him at the cottage. I’m sure he gave you a map and a brunch invite
There should be reason outside of a natural disaster or space invasion for any of our hospitals to be closed. Do better FordFoundation
fordnation SylviaJonesMPP Yes that would be the least they could do. Stop the lies and deceit. Come clean. You never know, you both mat gain an once of respect from the public.
Loser Leader, what happened to the ten million dollars you stole from Ontario Trades Workers when you shutdown the Ontario College of Trades, that was yearly fess that are off the family dinner table.
-Last week we were told an auditor said Ford didn't spend billions,so how can anyone justify not putting $ into fixing the healthcare situation, unless human dignity & life doesn't matter. If this is the case just say so, people aren't that stupid, and ER dr's are speaking out...
He wants it to get as bad as possible so they can justify taking away health care and privatizing for profit
Confidence has been rocked. The Woke is the virus. This vacks, it's ruined people's lives. Those responsible, for even spreading the information, you will be held accountable. The adults will be back in charge soon.
The public sector has been telling you this would happen since 2018.
What do you expect when they laid off or fired huge numbers of their staff, because of the jab on Trudeau's & Doug Ford's commands, they work side by side. Spreading the same fearful, hateful rhetoric
Wow! Just wow! I’m speechless.
Priorities amiright? WhereIsSylviaJones FordfailedOntario FordFailedHealthcare
The Ford government needs to fix this mess they’ve made stat! Invest in the public system & health care workers. This is not the time for costly private solutions. We’re watching! onpoli

WHERE ARE YOU fordnation ? Get your head out of the sand and do your job.
More example of unions destroying taxpayers
Healthcare crumbling across the Country, US and rest of the World and of course the lefties point their fingers at the right forgetting they've got three fingers pointing right back at themselves...
They should do their jobs or resign. Golfing everyday is not in the job description.
They should both resign and hang their heads in shame.
Privatization, here we come… Onterrible FordDestroyedOntario ConservativeCancer
She didn’t answer properly any of the questions in today’s interview. There is no plan, no sense of urgency. And the worst maybe she doesn’t know what they were asking and if this is her responsibility fordnation JustinTrudeau SylviaJonesMPP
I hope anyone who voted for ford and ends up in the hospital doesn’t get the care they need. A big FU to you all!!!
You have supported fordnation , refused to research & provide facts to Ontarians. is part of problem. FordLiedPeopleDied,held back 42% of the money earmarked for Covid. Doug Ford should be tried in criminal court - class action by families affected. cdnMediafailed
Chasingharmony1 Give your head a shake , it is a lot more than the Ontario Liberals asking for something to done with this fiasco caused solely by Conservative policies and mis management in ON health industry over the last 5 years. You think only liberals are shut out from their local ER?
capano_rosa
We do not have a minister of Health..she has been playing golf and telling people how to get their free license stickers. FireSylviaJones FordLiedPeopleDied
Happening in all provinces. Of course it’s Doug’s fault!
jasonhindle Resign We'll acknowledge you for that SirenSylvia
Do they have Twitter access at Fawn Lake ?
Doesn’t care…he’s got a nice 4 year easy job.
fordnation PBethlenfalvy tell the unions to back off and not play chicken with ppls lives. Get out of our hospitals
Time for a private-public approach. Your kid broke his arm on his skateboard? You pay. Your transgender kid wants surgery? You pay. You're not a citizen? You pay. Taking your kod to emergency over a cough? You pay. Caused a car accident? You pay. Smoke crack? You pay.
Who We have those
Now you notice, media gave Doug a pass before the election when HCW were warning us. CdnMediaFailed
That's what you get for mandating ineffective experimental vaccines...the ramifications are just beginning-:(
Especially since they have time to golf fordnation SylviaJonesMPP
Ford is too dimwitted, cowardly and left wing to end the socialist government monopoly on health care. It will get far worse, very soon.
The current Lieutenant Governor of Ontario is Elizabeth Dowdeswell. 416-325-7780 Ontario. Lieutenant Governor of Ontario (Elizabeth Dowdeswell). Elizabeth Dowdeswell LGLizDowdeswell . Time for her to remove Ford the Fraud from office. Call/email her and demand she do something
Can a Canadian premier be removed from office? Once sworn in, the premier holds office until he or she resigns or is removed by the lieutenant governor after either a motion of no confidence or defeat in a general election. (lets all call and demand they remove Ford the Fraud)
We pay for Healthcare with our taxes yet Doug seems to want to spend it on useless highways through the Greenbelt so his rich buddy developers can built subdivisions people can't afford! Do I hear calls for a province wide strike? Let's get it done! Close the province down!
fordnation perhaps Sylvia can’t handle her responsibilities. I don’t recall Christine Elliott taking an extended break during the first 10 waves of Covid
Keep playing politics with people's lives and you will win a great prize!
How many HCW are off work due to adverse vaccine impacts?
I voted for Rob Ford in Shelley Carroll ward 33 (a Liberal stronghold) and my TAIWANESE family was severely punished to this day. Why? My dad’s legs were injured DEC2021 now bed ridden in Mon Sheong after a visit to local HOSP in SCARBOROUGH-AGINCOURT, a known HK-TRIAD hotbed.
When lockdowns?
Mandate / Platform of OntarioPCParty is Decimate Privatize. If anyone at your office is capable better investigative reporting might come up with factual answers. Follow the $billions.
No party can fix this overnight but not to address it to Ontarian’s after weeks of crisis is despicable.
Nothing much will ever be done by fordnation until one of them actually ends up on a gurney in emerge. Hopefully they get pushed to the very back of the line. Too bad Muskoka Boy Ford won’t put the same effort into being a Premier that he did when selling drugs in Etobicoke.
Keep voting in Trudeau and Ford nothing will be fixed in Canada or Ontario
This is really messed up!
I smell private healthcare!
Do you think Ford nation care ?
Perhaps more than 33% of the voters should have turned out to vote and his sorry ass would be gone. Remember that when Poilievre stands for election. There are better alternatives
LOUDER
Infrastructure can't be built fast enough with our levels of immigration and free healthcare cdnpoli
Doug Ford does whatever Doug Ford wants and there’s nothing we can do about it! He speaks when he wants to his ministers speaks when he authorize them to do so and there is nothing we can do about it! Doug is running his own show with no Opposition!
ShelleyKingsto3 Thank your nearest Thug Fraud voter for taking away your healthcare👌👌👌👌👌👌
Ontario hospital shutdowns occur because of the Unvaccinated.
took you long enough to report on this
So when is the media going to do its job and track down Ford and hold him accountable for failing Healthcare? Leave Trudeau along for a minute and start questioning Ford
Jeez guys, he’s busy lining his pockets making a highway that will destroy the environment. Give him a minute!
Remember when they fired a bunch of people for not taking a certain something that didn't even work the way they claimed? Seems odd that it led to staffing shortages 🤷🏼
At this point, how about simple proof that the 'Minister of Health' is alive, and understands she was made the 'Minister of Health' back like 6 weeks ago?
Dougie doesn't give a rats arse about Ontario
No shit this was going to happen. He was already making cuts to healthcare and education pre-pandemic.
Ford is at the cottage eating a bucket of KFC and does not want to be disturbed .
Wow you would think in a real pandemic that the government would take this more seriously. They should have been adding not taking away because they care about your health and safety right. But no here we are in worse shape now then when the so called pandemic started
The Ontario Government is on a month long vacation over the summer. If you find yourself going to ER, you better hope is not true emergency
We have a premier in Ontario? Who is it, and where are they?
Is this a 1st world country
Call the premiers office 416-325-1941
Rehire the unvaccinated nurses and problem solved.
Odds are very good that they 'catch' C19 tomorrow and go into hiding .. I mean, isolation.
I have paid for those services and I expectopic them to be there when needed. 🤷🏼♂️
Awful. Ruined it for all of us but themselves
People just need to man up and stop getting sick
fordnation no mask in sight, and our health minister who should know better, wears a leaky surgical mask🙄. There is no hope for us with these two 🤡 leading the charge.
Sorry, Doug Ford can't get to the phone right now either he is at his cottage eating donuts or sniffing cociane and not giving a shit about long term care homes and hospitals suffering.
resign fordnation
These shutdowns happened on a summer long weekend, go figure.🙄
Liberal attack dogs and bot army has been going overtime. Are the hospitals removing their vax mandates? (these are not done by fordnation. No? Then go pound sand. Once that is done, lets see next steps to reverse issues created by ALL GOV for the past 30years.
To RESIGN***
Stop with the covid theatre and all will be fine. Employees are off for a sniffle. Isolating 10 days. Others and most importantly were fired bc of their vax status. Don’t play victim to circumstances you all created.
But they banged pots and pans a few years ago. What more can we expect? A permanent pay increase to make up for the decades of wage suppression of nurses?
This never happened under McGuinty or Wynne…. Elect a hash dealer get a hash dealer! OntarioPCCaucus OntarioPCParty fordnation
Second world country with developing country problems. What a joke
Canadians have never been good at general strikes, not like Europe. But I think we need a province wide strike. Our healthcare is worth fighting for.
Ya think?
Isn’t every province having these issues? Seems like if it’s everyone then perhaps federally a certain blackface man should step in and help. We send send billions to the ukraine we can surely throw some money at healthcare
Both need to be removed from office immediately
fordnation spends 5x what Kathleen Wynne used to spend, back when he said she was bankrupting our province. And cdnmedia acts like there's something more going on with our public services than this. The guy is ripping us ALL off and you're making excuses for him. cdnpoli
It's a Puzzle
fordnation wtf are you thinking?
fordnation is too busy paying back all his rich, white CEO men friends with hundreds of millions of dollars to build a highway that will destroy the environment and be used by 12 cars a day.
Ontario didn’t show up and let this useless bag of bones run for another four years. Disgraceful.
'Mounting calls' from far left unions and Liberal losers who still can't accept their side LOST the election & can be completely ignored for next four years. Ordinary Ontarians on the streets enjoying summer don't give a crap about this 'issue' - only far left & ELITIST media do
Special thanks to everyone who voted to keep Doug in office
Remember when this health minister encouraged people to call the police on their neighbours for having basic human interactions last year lol
Not once been making any announcements yet job is 24/7... 😏😏😡
Doug wants to privatize it. He’s making things worse so his rich friends can solve it.
Resolution:
Doug Ford cares about you
