althiaraj This is the fault of EVERY party. McGinty/Wynne had 15 years to do something. Harris\\Eves before her. Bob Rae before that. David Peterson before that. It is also on us for not demanding better care for our seniors.

...now that tells you something...that MUST be corrected...how long are we to put up with this total dishonest behavior...the Conservatives are up to their scandalous behavior again...Will Ford Cry on national TV again, over our senior Home Scandals...will he say he didn't know..

Change cannot come to onpoli while fordnation and corporate cronies are joined at the hip.

merry123459 The CEOs of these privatized LTC homes have yearly salaries in the MILLIONS. It's way way wrong.

well, well, well.

Don't forget this guy !!!

althiaraj Canadian military’s report details the horrors of Ontario long-term-care homes. Shame on all of us for letting it happen. We should cover our faces in disgrace for the horrors and humiliations heaped on our frail elderly in long-term-care homes. SENIOR LIFES MATTER !!

BevAzevedo And you thought he changed

althiaraj Why, what is the deal?

BevAzevedo It's almost like there is a pattern. Greedy ghouls profiting off the exploitation of the elderly and weak. In other words, perfect Cons.

We need a public inquiry now. LTC had problems before Ford came into power, but he made it worse for sure.

BevAzevedo Hummm..... The Conservative swamp runs deep. I guess that the moral high ground is out of the question ! Now the big question is : Will the Ford gov. be acting in favor of the people in LTC or in favor of their friends ? cdnpoli onpoli PeopleBeforeProfit

Dough Ford. Murderer/Traitor/ PUPPET FOR NWO. HE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE. HE'S A CON ARTIST. LOCK HIM UP.

Dear fordnation: For a few weeks you really did show serious empathy and a strong sense of right and wrong. I get that it must have been draining with your party breathing down your neck 24/7...but that was then. Privatization of care for our elderly & vulnerable? Very bad call.

d1s4b1l1ty Translation: Hired to hide paperwork, skeletons and anything that has his knowing of the LTC situations scrubbed.

And so you find this ‘scandalous’? Because some former & maybe trusted people are now overlooking some areas you wanted your foot in? Look closely, it’s trusted people that’re expected to get things done. Accountability! You don’t ding anything Liberals do scandalous? cdnpoli

“Extendicare made $1.13 billion” last year. It’s apparently good business to put vulnerable senior citizens in deplorable conditions. I hope fordnation follows through on his outrage despite his former staffers working for PR companies supporting these cultures.

ugh, is liberal media already back to daily Doug Ford smears?

The executives who put profit before lives in these nursing home need to be arrested for murder! These lobbyists need to be arrested for aiding and abetting!

Putting DrFullertonMPP in charge of this investigation is like putting a fox in front of the hen house.

My day is so much better informed now.

What?

Memo to Ford, the Liberal media's love affair with you is over, LTC in ON is all your fault 15 yrs of corrupt Liberal leadership had nothing to do with it...

BellWhitworth We need s public inquiry.

Coverup

wanna check to see how many former liberal staffers got jobs while Kathleen was in power? This isn't news. It happens ALL the time to EVERY party in power.

More reason for him not wanting a public inquiry

These people would only be hired if the corps doing the hiring thought they had an 'in' to fordnation

of course

I own a private business. I never assumed that anyone can run my business the way I would like it to be run. The least you can do is trust but VERIFY. Was nobody checking in with this nut case?
