Canada’s struggling health-care system will be the topic of discussion as the premiers of Ontario and Nova Scotia meet in Halifax.
Today’s meeting between Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his Nova Scotia counterpart Tim Houston comes ahead of a so-called premiers summit on Monday. Ford and Houston will travel to Moncton, where Ford is scheduled to meet individually with New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs, PEI Premier Dennis King and federal Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic Leblanc.Ford’s visit to the Maritimes comes as Ontario’s health system has been strained by staff shortages in recent weeks.Our Morning Update and Evening Update newsletters are written by Globe editors, giving you a concise summary of the day’s most important headlines.
'That thing we're in charge of delivering is in crisis, we need more money from Ottawa.' Also, 'We can not account for at least of a third of the money Ottawa gave us last year.'
Perhaps they can all get their story straight on what the hell they did with all that federal taxpayers money they got!!!
Not so much a 'Maritime Summit' as it is a 'Cloistered Synod of Conservatives' without Newfoundland and Labrador invited, ain't it?
You mean: How to destroy Healthcare summit.🤨
Why is the least educated guy with a highly limited vocabulary be allowed to speak? CdnMediaFailed when they believe the basic simple words from the dear leader of Ontariostan!
OoooOOOOooo… A “Summit. That sounds verrry impressive!!!!🤣
1Cushion1 Healthcare 'SUMMIT' Summit? You mean they are meeting to shut us up and bully us into privatization. I guess you could call that shit a summit but, I would call it bulldozing and bullying.
Ask them what they did with all the money Justin Trudeau gave them.
Why don't they meet with the actual healthcare workers instead of wasting time & tax money conniving together for more federal handouts.
I'd like the media to pls ask LoblawsON oligarch Galen Westin and his bff fordnation if we'll get PC points when using their new SDMs private for profit HC centre's? It's the least the billionaire Westins & Ford can do as they destroy our Canadian Healthcare system despicable
You should ask Ford and Kenney where they 'misplaced' billions of federal covid bucks, but you won't. CdnMediaFailed
Rehire our front line heroes. There, problem solved.
Why? So they can exchange notes on screwing up more public services/infrastructure and pocketing federal money?
Why no Newfoundland member in this summit?
Its a think tank to figure out how to screw us even harder. Hoping they serve ecoli for lunch there.
All four are Conservatives. Let's see if it is about constructive solutions or simply blaming the federal Liberals. Sadly, we know which one it will be.
Hey Premiers!! Dominic LeBlanc is 100% correct!
Again? Another fed blame game and trashing, televised nation wide.
fordnation failed to spend $7.2 billion on healthcare and will now point the finger at the feds as not doing enough. 🤔🙄
He needs to step it up. Cut back wages for himself and MPP’s who do nothing in comparison to our health workers who are still delivering top notch care while short on staff. I cannot thank them enough for the care we received this weekend. fordnation HealthCareCrisis
'Summit.' LOL
Okay try your best,and have a blessed day 🙏
They already got money. Now it's their responsibility to figure it out. healthcare
I thought they just had one where they begged for money.
Here's a publicly funded, fully integrated health system plan, cheaper than most health insurances and ranked 1 among all OECD countries. There is no justification for having private care other than incompetence or corruption OttawaHealthLaw EthicsCanada fordnation ONgov
Not one GD Cent to these Premiers, without clear, concise, measurable and enforeable conditions. They have not demonstrated with their handling of the pandemic they can be trusted. NotOneGDCent NoToPrivatization
Stop spending health transfer $ on highways (fordnation), a “safe supply” of elicit drugs (jjhorgan), and privately owned surgery clinics (PremierScottMoe) and perhaps you’d have $ for healthcare - a PROVINCIAL responsibility. Until then, Trudeau shouldn’t give them a cent.
So they can laugh about how sick and poor and dead they are going to leave Canadians while they and their friends get richer?
Hope feds don’t get sucked into NoStringsAttached health care funding to ResistancePremiers .
Will there be any adults in the room?
And absolutely nothing will be accomplished.
Summit? More like a whine fest where they ask for more federal money to pay the private healthcare providers.
If that's healthcare's poster boy, we are in big trouble.
Oh really. And they invited tons of actual healthcare workers too, I hope.
As Ontarian's faith in their provincial government plummets, amid looming warehousing of elderly, monetization of our healthcare, and the transition of our public education towards 'job preparation' ...
So much cheaper to fund public care than to pay for private. If Feds step up, they need to wrap Ford in red tape and requirements or he'll 'donate' all our money to friends with Swiss bank accounts.
fordnation gravy train leaving the station .
Incompetent Con premiers share disaster stories.
Every premier can borrow or raise taxes all on their own
Health care fire sale.
Agenda? That is a very broad topic.
I'm guessing Trudeau has more important things to do.
This would be a good story. Dare you to repeat it.
Will ask for fed money
Premiers to meet to diss PMJT and ask for more slush health funding. There is a strategic planned conservative strategy to challenge the Feds on a number of issues (ie recent carbon tax by NS and health funding) to substitute for the ineptitude of the fed CPC_HQ leadership
sick care not health care! it’s not about health. $$$$
The 5 CPC_HQ Premiers who hid/diverted $5B+ additional Federal Covid funding have gone missing? They want more? Not fiscally responsible but leeches!
We need more privatization in Canada.
'How can we make the most money off these saps?'
These politicians have ruined our country. Don't vote they are the same.
If fordnation is there, it should be called the 'Health? I don't care' summit. NeverVoteConservative
