People are dying left and right,” Meno Ya Win Hospital staff told Sol Mamakwa as the Kiiwetinoong MPP toured the Sioux Lookout area’s largest health care facility.

Sioux Lookout’s 76-bed long-term care facility was a promise the Liberals made in 2018 that has yet to transpire over six years of Progressive Conservative governance.

“After question period, I talked to Doug Ford. He came to me and this is what he said: ‘You know how we’re going to pay for that long-term care facility in Sioux Lookout? We’re going to need to open up the mines in the north.’

“So I told her that. She said, ‘really? Does that mean we have to give up our lands to get those [beds]?’

“‘Yep. That’s what that means.’

Wow, Ford is such an asshole. I so want him to call an early election and get trounced, but I doubt they will. Honestly he deserves to lose just for this shenanigan alone, but we’ll have to add it to the pile…

This guy sounds like a great leader, I didn’t know about him before but I have so much respect for him. It’s not easy to call a spade a spade, and it can’t be easy to live the life he has and sit quietly listening to what the PCPO says.
