“I am in fact scared for the fall and winter because I don’t know how this collapsed health-care system will [handle] the volumes that are to come.”

“This is a true open invitation. I’m a professional respectful person, there will be no hate, nothing but professional. I just want you to see what we are seeing,” Khatib explained.The requests to pick up shifts outside the two urban hospitals where she normally works keep coming in. Either because ERs are short staffed or in danger of closing.

Respiratory therapist Alisha Clark, left, and registered nurse Joy Turner take a rest in the employee break room in the intensive care unit at the Humber River Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic in Toronto on Tuesday, January 25, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette To address the issue, she said she wants to see Bill124 repealed, nurses wages increased, and a national licensing program for doctors and nurses to seamlessly work across provinces.

Ford worked for years on choking and killing the budget of the health sector to make it fail. All in the purpose of justifying Privatization. The great Canadian system that was built by grandparents is being pulled down now by mercenaries for hire.

The Ontario Health Care shake down !

Don't go to the hospital if you have a sneeze or a cut finger leave it for the extremely sick.

Isn’t that funny that only now the hospitals are falling apart, not during the “height of the pandemic” but now after everyone was “vaccinated” 😂😂😂

All planned and you know it.

Didn't think of this outcome when they asked thier fellow Co workers to be kicked out for not being jabbed. LiberalHypocrisy

Its exactly what justin Trudeau wants, thats why he didnt pump emergency dollars into hospitals, sent it over seas instead, he need another crisis to gain more power and create more fear

KylieARoberto Better than when Trump was President.

Hire back the ones that where fired due to the mandates!!

Time to privatize healthcare!!!

What’s happening now doesn’t seem to be Covid related other then firing staff that aren’t for the shot mandates. I thought the gov said that if we did all the things that they told us to, hospitals would be fine? 🧐 Are they doing this…on purpose?

Should have thought of that before forcing a bunch of people to do things they dont want to

Invitation should be to the hospital CEO, so they can see the front line staff, And why re-hiring fired staff is necessary

Fire the hospital administrators. And hire the fired staff.

If only people had doctors that would see them. Anyone talking about that? Let's not pay them for virtual appointments, and end all 'measures' in doctors' offices. Wouldn't that help?

I want to tour the hospitals, as a taxpayer it my right. What time do we meet?

Fire the unboooostered and deport them to that crap hole Florida!

Get rid of the bloat (hospital admins) and rehire fired nurses. Its not rocket science.

Obviously it’s the unvaccinated and Vladimir Putin causing this collapse, not failed and inefficient government policy at both provincial and federal levels going back years. 🤡 Fully aware Dr. Khatib mostly blames Bill 124, but that doesn’t explain years of failure.

The sovietic public healthcare system is cracking everywhere! And because is public, nobody cares! Enjoy!

Charlie85915085 Didn't you know ? ? ? Wouldn't it the best moment for FORD to say,.....'We need Private Health Care' ? So,...if I understand his politics correctly, he doesn't care if the Public Health care system collapses. But that's just my opinion.

Agreed. Its too bad the government forced all those nurses into early retirement because of mandatory vaccination policy for an untested experimental drug, not to mentioned all those nurses placed on unpaid leave etc. Add in all the S.A.D.S deaths and it is a total mess.

It’s amazing how everyone just jumps on Ford …did anyone consider that across the country, your lovely fed government cut funding up to 30% … it doesn’t matter at this point who is running shit; point your anger in the rite direction..can give what you don’t have to fund

Rehire the fired health care workers!!

A fish rots from the head down. Start with over bloated administration staffing and their salaries sitting in their ivory towers demanding something be done.

15 years of quiet liberal cuts left us woefully ill prepared when covid arrived 18 mos into Ford's term.. Odd how the media is blaming Ford while ignoring big $$$ hospital CEOs that actually create hospital policy and are responsible for decisions..🤔

Trudeaus government would rather waste taxpayers dollars on Zelenskys slushfund than improving health care.

The answer to this isn’t more lockdowns or vax mandates.

“Free Healthcare”

DENOUNCE DOUG'S PRIVATIZATION ANNOUNCEMENT 'As the province continues to pursue these [health care] reforms, it will not be limited by conventional thinking that stifles innovation and preserves a status quo that struggles to respond to growing challenges'

Doc needs to take it up with ONThealth Ask them where all our money went?

Here is a suggestion, get the pm to go to a hospital ER, he must wear a mask and see our health system needs money he has not offered yet ask by all premieres!

They fired the unvaccinated. Unboosted are potentially 1.5 years since their last shots and do not meet the federal standard for full vaccination. Will they be fired? Hypocrisy at its finest.

Is the flu making a return this year after taking 2 years off?

Who told hospital administrators to lay off staff?

Fire 90% hospital executives and administrators!!! Hire more doctors and nurses. Problem solved!!!!

Tired of this covid theatre, yall legit only post stuff defending liberals. Biased and fake news.

Thanks to covid protocols and mandates.

Lolol. What a joke. CTV news is hot garbage at best.

Nurses will have come back from summer holidays by then

omg! Not just a doctor….but she can see into the near future!!

FordNation KNOWS hospitals are collapsing, its part of the PLAN. He's done this so that he has an excuse to privatize. Visiting Hospitals won't change his mind. The only thing that'll change his mind is a valid legal threat!

Real what you sow.

Antibody dependent enhancement- will it be a bad winter for the vaccinated?

You mean all the infected jabbed

So we closed schools and businesses for nothing. Nice 👍🏼

So if wages are increased nurses will suddenly appear?

Maybe we should hire the nurses who refused harmful experimental medication

How about a radical new idea, how about we fire ALL the hospital management, and excess administrators and hire more and hire back health care workers?

Why wouldn't public health nurses be redeployed to hospitals and ltcs? If it's a real emergency perhaps we can put aside lice checks and beach water reports

End the mandates

fordnation privatize healthcare

Fire administration. Beg the fired workers to come back. Stop with the immunity degrading💉💉💉💉. Stop wearing germ filled masks.

How about inviting the management and administrators at her hospital to see the damage their incompetence has caused? If Ford shows up, it should only be to fire a bunch of people.

Why are you not going after the Feds to give more money to the provinces for healthcare? They send Billions of our money overseas that could go to healthcare for Canadians.

Imagine knowing there is going to be a collapse of healthcare and you still keep a mandate in place that stops thousands of nurses from working. Ideologies are incredibly dangerous

It’s your failing to do your job-using honest & true information- rather than sensationalism and half truths and outright lies that perpetuate the facade of a problem when you could be the solution.

I hope she's talking about the truth: the volumes of illness coming due to peoples' immune systems collapsing because of the shots, other illnesses triggered by the shots - the most heinous criminal act in human history.

SADS, VAIDS, clots……….people were warned. Their immune systems are now mush. Buckle up

These nurses last year

well now that 90 percent of the population has zero immune system thanks to the jab you SHOULD be scared.

...We have scores and scores of displaced healthcare workers that could provide an immediate positive injection back into the system....So very obvious 'their' intent, when these courageous and persecuted individuals are not even mentioned in anyone's (of power) footnotes...

This has been the same headline for decades now. I'm sick and tired of corrupt hospital administration mismanaging taxpayer dollars and lining their own pockets. Enough is enough.

Let's play a guessing game friends.....What day and month will CTV start reporting that vaccines are a dangerous failure?

Why are hospital administrators and the Ontario hospital association (OntHospitalAssn) not being held to account for their contribution to these issues?

That didn't help 👇

The hospitals kicked out unvaccinated nurses. Just hire them back, stop blaming the province.

This is all on them. They begged for the termination of unvaccinated staff and the forced experimental vaccines that are causing more harm than COVID. You're all getting exactly what you begged for

Does this mean we won't see TikTok videos of dancing nurses this fall?

Stop injecting people with experimental gene therapy for coronavirus .

They want it to collapse. Build Back Better requires everything be destroyed first.

Well it’s time to make the hospital administrators do their job then, isn’t it?

People will die. For sure. This is what happens when the gov’t ignores healthcare needs for 20yrs. Freezes wages of the heart of healthcare workers NURSES, refuses to repeal bill 124 as the system crumbles around us! Good luck in the fall. Call Doug Ford to help you

Well I’m scared for how many people are having health issues now after having had the vaccine. Time to end the mandate and let unvaccinated healthcare workers return to work.

I do the same but I’m in HVAC I need a Pat on the back too she’s looking for attention for some reason

If it's such a desperate situation bring back those fired & suspended due to vaccine mandates. If you subscribe to the notion that having no nurse at all is better than having an unvaccinated one then I don't wanna hear shit about any 'healthcare emergency'.

fordnation SylviaJonesMPP Doug & Sylvia....I think this is a WONDERFUL IDEA!!] YOU BOTH tag along with a HCW for a full shift in the ER Dept.! Calling you both out on this! RepealBill124 ResignDougFord FireSylviaJones

Had stroke last year with micro stroke strokes seen on Feb 14th this year during MRI full brain scan.They said they getting me back to stroke clinic sooner than later.Think I heard anything? Not since then.Still have short term memory issues and judgement of things on right side

The health minister and Fors visit an ER? But that’s where yucky sick people go! That would be like asking Lecce to visit a school, where sticky children are

It'd be a shock if Ford or Jones accepted the offer. What'd be amazing (& more achievable), is having each of the onmedia outlets assign an investigative journalist to shadow a HCW (in ER, ICU, CCU, LTC...) for a week, every hour that person works. Then write about it.onhealth

It seems the government doesn’t care about your health? All those who were wanting the country shut down to an already fragile system and your surprised at the outcomes. Remember there’s “consequences”…here they come

free healthcare HELLO all the 3rd world is here ! one sneeze run to hospital ! cuase media scaring them

If anything, I feel people are fearful to even risk going to the hospital now.

Good luck with that. fordnation is a coward and won’t accept your offer.

Hire back the nurses that were fired very simple solution.

Doug Ford is purposely neglecting OHIP. So he can bring in private insurance companies. He wants Ontario to have a two tiered healthcare system. Like in Quebec and Alberta.

Vaccine Layoffs have consequences……

would be better if you reviewed the process of becoming a doctor in Canada to see how corrupt the proccess is.

I can’t stand crooked Ford, but what exactly people want him to do? The healthcare system has collapsed in Venezuela, Sri Lanka and other similar counties too. It happens. There’s no turning back. Deal with it or move.

Hire back the unvaxxed

Fear porn....

Since we all the that the vaccines don’t stop spread, how about bringing back the unvax’d? Everyone vxd or not spread it equally. End the hypocrisy

Just wait till the heavy vaxxed people get the next wave of flu strains. Depressed immune systems will be complete carnage.

Hang your head in shame if you voted for Ford.

fordnation care for a visit?

Central Saanich politician says municipality should buy housing for health workers amid doctor shortageFacing an ongoing housing crisis and a health care worker shortage, could municipalities becoming a landlord be the answer? Too bad that it has come to that. It is will become like staff housing in the tourism industry, if they are not careful. Maybe you could just hire back all of the unvaccinated doctors and nurses Dr. Bonnie FIRED. It's only the vaccinated staff that get Covid and have to take time off. PS, they are already trained and don't get sick.
