Vote Lieberal. It wil get much worse.
Why aren’t you reporting the layoffs and corruption going on with our healthcare system?
Because they’re on the payroll.
Health Care wait time had been an issue way before COVID, including shortage of beds, staff, etc. COVID just opened everyone’s eyes how bad it was.
put govt in charge of something, its going to suck 100% of the time
Yes , I could not have said it better !
“Covid-19…”, or more accurately, “govt reaction to Covid-19…..”
So, are you saying that all unvaccinated doctors and nurses can return to work?
In B.C. they are not. Here, doctors are leaving for work
How bout the number 1 death in Canada for a long time .. heart failure ?
Because they let it. If they treated it like the flu they wouldn’t have this problem.
My trust of the health care system has been heavily diminished
COVID did or mandates? How many staff pushed out because of mandates?
@Rick They don’t matter to the issue raised in the video. See, neither you nor I do either… but, yet, here we are… existing.
@Hyperpandas the issue is healthcare, the title of the video says it … so all pieces of the puzzle matter. You would have to be highly incompetent to try to run a hospital without support staff. I agree you don’t matter though but I work in healthcare so…..
@Hyperpandas wrong. Try again goof
@Rick no you work in a pharmaceutical controlled nightmare .
@Hyperpandas Sorry, your attempts at fearmongering do not work!
There are hundreds of doctors waiting to be hired …but the college of physicians prevent them from working in Canada….
“Governments firing desperately needed health care workers has ‘crushed’ Canada’s health-care system, warns doctor”
Fixed the headline for you.
You sending staff home for having the sniffles in every industry to this day
This was not a thing a couple years ago
No, COVID didn’t crush our health-care system. Our government did.
100% Agree.
Maybe if they didn’t fire healthy individuals that refused a useless medical procedures it would be a little better…
Send more billions to other countries! Canada is perfect. Low gas prices, low housing, hospitals in perfect condition…etc
More accurately the government response caused much more problems than it solved. Then to fix these problems they have done nothing at all and are all out of ideas…
The government messed up when they decided to take over the issue instead of Doctors and nurses being able to educate. The staffing issue was huge before, now it’s absolutely ridiculous all because they wanted to get rid of most staff and make things really hard and costly in the wrong areas of where health care needed it. I’m going for nursing and I’m scared to be a nurse now but nothing is going to stop me. We need a miracle.
No, the government crushed our healthcare.
No it hasn’t. Covid mandates have crushed it
Correction: the government response to covid19 has crushed Canadian Healthcare.
