He refused federal funding years ago when it came with a clause that all the money had to go to public health care until Ontarians found out about this and he backed down and accepted the funding (something like 200 million I think), only to cut Ontario spending on public healthcare and redirect it to private hospitals a few years later.
Ford is Ontario’s greatest salesman ever, selling off the province one sector at a time to his oligarchic buddies, even all the while the courts get inundated with lawsuits due to the laws and contracts he signs. Hell, I think the greenbelt lawsuit is set to start a week after the provincial election. Why do you think he called it when it did?
That pretty much applies to most provinces. Private health-care companies from the US are all over pushing gullible, and/or greedy conservatives (closer in mindset to the US), or any other politicians who are willing (Libs too, but not so much NDP as they are seem as more ‘Canadian fringe’’ and seen as less effectual), into breaking Canada’s public heath care/social medicine so private services can move in (they’re here now) and ‘save the day’ in the short term; then fuck us long and slow for profit after we’ve solidified the new model.

Sound about right, Canada?
