Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones said the province has “not seen a mass exodus of nurses” leaving the profession – a remark some nurses say is “dismissive” and “painful” to hear.

. Soon after, the Ontario government released a statement expressing their intention to appeal the decision.

“It was heartbreaking,” Marida Etherington told CTV News Toronto, nodding to her own departure from the sector. For nearly 30 years, she worked as a nurse at St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto. “I had planned on staying at St Joe’s until I retired, that was my plan, at least 12 years,” she said. “If we haven’t had a total collapse, it’s because of the dedication of the people that are still here,” she added.

How about u follow a nurse for a 12 hr shift then speak.

She's mean and very out of touch or in denial.

Then why they leaving Syl? Is it the negligent underfunding of healthcare by billions? Is it the the slap in the face of Bill124? Is it the the blatant mishandling of the pandemic?

They haven’t seen it because their eyes are squeezed shut

The inconvenient truth!

BS

take off the blindfold

I’m so tired of lying politicians.

She is lying.

Who wouldn't want a job that charges you min $100 month parking, expects you to be there 30 mins before & after your shift UNPAID, most times NO breaks at all & if you're lucky you'll get 15 mins for lunch. Just a day in the life of a nurses 12hr shift.

For a world-class health system, Canada needs to think biggerAs anyone working in health care or trying to access health services in this country right now can attest, Canada’s health system is in crisis. The pandemic certainly hasn’t helped matters, but the truth is that Canada’s health system has struggled for decades. Governments at all levels and of all stripes continue to promise fixes, but all they end up doing is pouring too few dollars into a system that doesn’t work for providers or patients. If we want a world-class health system—one that rivals the pride Canadians have in it—then Canada needs to think bigger. Funding is important, and further investments are needed as we deal with rising costs and inflation, an aging population, and decades of underfunding and under resourcing. But we also need to transform how health care is delivered in this country so that it better meets the needs of people across Canada. Canadian health care is built on a 65-year-old foundation that provides public coverage for hospital and physician services. While this approach served Canada well when it had a young, healthy population, Canada’s population is much older now, with the number of people aged 65 and up set to make up 23 per cent of Canada’s population by 2031.

Photograph courtesy of HealthcareCAN Canada is also dealing with multiple health crises. There’s the havoc that COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses are wreaking on our health system and peoples’ health, the ongoing mental health and opioid crises, and a worldwide health workforce shortage. To truly tackle the challenges that our health system is facing, governments need to boost investments in health care and health research, but they also need to spend health dollars differently. This requires a shift in mindset and a move towards increased collaboration to deliver better health care for people across Canada. Canada must break down the silos i

There are many of them ready and willing to go back to work. Just apologize, pay wages owing and drop the mandate. Simples. A lot more than nurses have fled Canada, anyone with the means is gone. It really is just a leap frog country now. I’m sure mandates have nothing to do with this. Drop the mandates and give people their jobs back already.
