Waste of time Canada has shortages period. Why do you continue to make it impossible for fully qualified workers from other countries to come here? Basic competencies for our two languages and skills. Why do you think taking from Peter to pay Paul is the solution?

This is good move , why not other provinces health care certified cannot practice here especially we have a shortage..

This Canada ! Why would these professionals not be allowed to practice anywhere in Canada ? Why are there Provincial barriers to practice in another province ? Totally ridiculous!

Can we get another premier? This one's too fat the title doesn't fit him anymore, maybe he can find a career in sumo fighting

We are over populated in a condensed area

Yeah you need a mask you robber!

out of province, unlicensed health practitioners. What could go wrong?

How about insisting masks have VPE (viral) not just BPE. Check out ZenGuard for best protection. Canadian based too. Be safe out there. The world needs you.

Gee there’s a plan. Not

Who would come here? He has frozen Healthcare worker wages going on 4 years now. Come here to make less

Give PR to health care workers. Their work permit is expiring soon. If IRCC extend their work permit, you can have more work force in health sector.plz fordnation SeanFraserMP

I don't recall the last time I saw a headline photo of this guy without a mask on.

Can we hire a premier from another province ? I think we lack premier and cabinet ministers more than any professions in this province

Change other 'provinces' to 'countries' and Ford might...MIGHT be onto something... I've known more than a few foreign professionals with excellent experience and education working menial jobs because Ontario doesn't recognize their qualifications

he truly believes the rest of Canada doesn’t know how healthcare workers are treated here. He may get a few but really. This is so stupid even Smith and Moe are raising their eyebrows. To think Doug Ford was being promoted by his reckless brother Robbie that he wold be PM

Ontario is no longer livable… you allowed new landlords ta raise rents to any amount that suits them… home prices are still super high… cost of living is no longer within reach… people are leaving Ontario in very large numbers… new comers to Ontario will just be slaves….!

That does nothing to improve the wages paid to nurses and PSWs.

That's totally not what we need help with right now.

Yikes

The other provinces are, of course, doing the same thing and recruiting from Onterrible. This isn’t a solution for anyone.

How about letting certified doctors from other countries practice in ontario and Canada in general

Seriously… You know it’s to smoke and mirrors and nothing’s gonna happen

Do you remember when governments worked for the people who voted for them? They now love voters until they win an election and then treat them like the enemy. Does fordnation realize he is meant to be working for the people who elected him not the corporate sector?

Who would want to come to ontario with housing non existent and fordnation treats HCW’s like 💩?

Opinion | The warnings about Doug Ford and private health care are coming trueOpinion: Ford’s giant step toward more two-tiered health care should come as no surprise. He's made little secret of his fondness for private health-care companies, and has quietly increased the role of for-profit companies over the years. DougFordMustResign Ontario YOU are funding Fords retirement with this. He will become a multi millionaire through under the table payments on this and the Greenbelt healthcare Maybe the reason Ford is embracing private healthcare is due to the incompetence of our Public Sector Hospital Administrators who are being paid $500k+ a year and couldn’t manage their way out of a wet paper bag Funny we never hear a rational opinion like this from
