Premier Doug Ford says the provinces and territories are “very, very close” to approving Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 10-year, $46.2-billion health accord.

Ford expressed optimism as he and Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones met Thursday morning in his Queen’s Park office with federal Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos.“We’re very, very close to crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s and I’m just excited to get this done and move on to the next step,” he said.

“We had some cigars last night, it was great. He’s just a great person. We get along very well. ” the premier said of LeBlanc.“Premier Ford has been very constructive and helpful on this issue, and so many others,” he said. “We’re making investments in the province of Ontario and we want the federal government to be part of those investments,” added Jones.

How about returning the mega-Billions the cpc_hq Premiers took for COVID19 but put them in General Revenue, highways, developers' pockets, private healthcare providers, weddings, etc.

So far the only adult in the room!

Shut up ford

Fake news !

bugger off!

And how much of that will be gifted to Doug's friends and private hospitals? Fraud anyone? We are politicians giving tax payers dollars to corporations? Conflict of interest much? We pay taxes to fund public hospitals not private ones this should be an ethics violation

“very, very close” to Digital ID

No to digital id. fordnation Do not comply, say no Doug. Ontarians do not want Digital ID, don’t give in Trudeau’s money bribe with the provinces. Provinces must resist this invasion of privacy.

It amounts to less than $2 billion/year in new funding to Ontario = 2.4% of total healthcare budget. It doesn’t even cover the additional healthcare cost of new immigrants. It’s a 💩

It better not sacrifice our PRIVACY WITH CORRUPT WEF DIGITAL ID !

This is how you bring in digital ID to 100% of all Canadians. WEF is in charge. Ford is a puppet to Our mass murderer Trudeau. This is all about bringing in Digital ID.

Of course you did. WEF told Trudeau to implement the National digital ID to track all movements and personal ESG tracking of everyone. Then Yrudeau bribes the Premiers and just like that, you have communism in Canada.

We don’t want digital ID!!!!!

Ford needs a bit of time to appoint a new Minister of 3-card Monte to triangulate federal money.

owes $20b for how many years? doesn't make up for what liberal_party JustinTrudeau cafreeland have stolen from healthcare for years, and for what waste and vote buying. all the while promising new unfunded programs. guess need to identify with lib pandering, die in hallway

It would be easier to fund all 11k medical students, banning all foreign enrollment, and making 5 years of Canadian work part of their award. Ditto our 15k nursing students. Canadians only. Free. Plus commitment to practice in Canada.

Ford is a

Ford lies

scam artist

They should accept it

Ford says new federal dollars for health care only a 'down payment on future discussions'Premier Doug Ford says that the $46 billion in new health-care funding that Ottawa has offered the provinces is a 'starting point' but should be viewed as a 'down payment on further discussions' only. How does any of this fix inflation 'Trudeau has offered to shift $196 billion to the provinces...over the next decade in exchange for their commitment to upgrade health-care data collection and digital record keeping'. No thanks. I don't trust this corrupt government to keep my data private and not misuse it. Trudeau is giving more to indigenous communities with no accountability. At least healthcare everyone benefits from. I’m not aFord fan but the Feds need to really step up and spend where it’s actually needed and will benefit the most. How much has been spent on banning long guns
