When Ontarians look back on the COVID-19 pandemic as the moment when their government finally ponied up the big bucks and fixed the province’s long-term care system, they will likely also wonder what the hell took so long. As appalled as everyone quite rightly is by the Canadian Forces’ report into the state of five long-term care homes that were in dire enough shape to require military intervention, we really shouldn’t be shocked.
We shouldn’t fool ourselves, though: Long-term care homes will always be uniquely vulnerable. And as the economy reopens, it’s essential we keep focusing on them. It’s essential that we focus, period. What explains all this, beyond some obvious factors, will be the subject of years of research and inquiry. But as it stands, it should inform how we think about the next phases of recovery.
Why were rnao collegeofnurses we_rpn and all other Canadian Nurses silenced when they tried to keep the Ontario public safe by warning of these dangers for well over the past 10+++ years?
Selley.....!? At the end we could guard only nursing homes.... Ontario 2100 deaths 1700 nursing homes... but you don’t see forest because one tree in front of you....shell we call it bs strategy and call it quits....? Get a mask....
Some sanity in the MSM. If all we did was secure these nursing homes better and nothing else we would have had a less deaths without the crippled economy.
“Canada’s lockdown strategy”? Somewhere, somehow I sense this will be a learning moment for all Canadians and Skippy and the rest of the leaders will skate through this unscathed.
Where can one obtain the military report in English on Long Term home Care in Quebec?
This goes way before the covid lockdown - it’s been a travesty for many years
Don't think this is new to Covid
it was screwed and neglected long ago

Chris Selley: The Trinity-Bellwoods jamboree laid bare our governments’ total pandemic-planning failureWe had one finite period of time to try to knock COVID-19 down. We did not make the most of it — not by far They should all stay home for 14 days - but who is mandating this JohnTory fordnation? Notice that all the male leaders are doing a crappy job! Look real hard at this photo and tell us if you see anyone over about 30. That's about the time when adult people recognize that they're no longer invincible. This is more of an example of the failure of our citizens who are, seemingly, embracing the Americanization of our culture. People dying is apparently less important than a Kardashian tweet. And the alt right want to banish the CBC?
