Many personal support workers quit their jobs in August after the provincial top-up pay during the pandemic ended. Meanwhile, the province’s registered nurses association has cancelled an emergency program that recruited front-line staff for the health care sector, and nursing students are choosing hospitals rather than long-term care homes for their clinical placements.
Doris Grinspun, chief executive officer of the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario, is so frustrated with the government’s lack of action, she announced on July 31 that she will not reopen the VIANurse program if the province is hit with a second wave of the virus. “The government knows that staff in long-term care homes are the backbone of the sector, and we are committed to using every resource available to support long-term care homes and staff as we work to stop the spread of COVID-19,” a ministry spokesperson said in an e-mail to The Globe and Mail.

Long lines for COVID-19 tests reported across Canada; feds announce more fundingAs long lines are being reported at COVID-19 testing centres across the country,the federal government pledged billions in funding to address the issue and improve other pandemic measures. Do CANADIANS have the SAME LIBERTIES our neighbors to the south enjoy? Supreme Court ruled the governors VIOLATED CIVIL LIBERTIES BY ENFORCING LOCKDOWNS!!!! All you really are is stenographers.
