Ford Admits Health-Care Merger Will Include Layoffs

Ontario Premier Doug Ford speaks to reporters at Challenger Motor Freight in Cambridge, Ont. on March 13, 2019.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says executives with"outrageous" salaries will lose their jobs as the province merges 20 health agencies into one. A reporter asked the premier at a Cambridge, Ont. announcement whether his government's comments that no"frontline" workers will lose their jobs is an admission that others will. The government has changed its messaging in recent weeks, after Fordduring last year's election campaign that no public servants would lose their jobs under a Progressive Conservative government.

"You know who's going to lose their jobs, unfortunately, are the people in the [Local Health Integration Networks], the CEOs, that are making hundreds of thousands of dollars, the big silos they have there, the big executives, presidents, vice presidents, making outrageous amounts of money," the premier said Wednesday.You know who's going to lose their jobs, unfortunately, are the people in the LHINs, the CEOs.

Imagine that.

First rule when voting for politicians, never listen to promises.

You put him in that seat

Are you really surprised! Really?

You mean he finally admits that his original statement was a lie ... and was deliberate.

Good. There is too much fat.
