Why do things keep getting worse no matter how much funding we cut?!

The only answer is privatization obviously /s

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's so disheartening. A true leader would address the problem no matter how complex and instead of proper leadership what we're getting is the lazy response, and being perfectly clear privatization is the lazy response.

A true leader would have a plan. Throw money to get people in the door to do the support be it nurses or family doctors. We need heads and the easiest way to do that is immediately throwing cash at it. But beyond that, the behaviour of this, and past governments have created this environment and that needs to stop. We need to stop going to war with our public unions and start paying them properly instead of nickel & diming every chance we get. If paying them more means cutting somewhere else or gasp raising taxes then fucking do it.

Furthermore, this is not up to the Provinces alone. The Federal government needs to also start leading and stop fucking the dog and nickle & diming every chance they get.

All levels of government are perpetuating this extremely toxic environment that is leading all western nations to fascism and it's scary AF.

He has a plan. He's a businessman. This is a business move: starve the public system to implement a for-profit system that benefits him and his friends.
