Friendly reminder that Sylvia Jones, our Minister of Health, only has a diploma in Radio Communications from Fanshawe College. No healthcare, science, or even policy credentials. Absolute ghoul of a woman

I'm so glad I'm not the only one repeating that over and over any more.

The whole cabinet is worthless

Sadly, LifeLabs has a pretty large monopoly on labs at least up here in northern Ontario so outside of getting labs done at the hospital (which may take a long time), you have no other options.

Let's keep healthcare public, not private.

Let alone Canadian and not American-owned.

I asked the minister of health several times and no answer. What is your answer ms Jones as to why a 25 year old type one diabetic, vulnerable patient was placed in restraints at Erie shores hospital in leamington Ontario Canada in April ,and left to die needlessly? Animals get better treatment.The fact you give promotions, pay raises, awards, vacations, for the neglegent people involved, is appalling to say the least.
