2025 Ontario Election

But who’s gonna fix health care???

Bonnie doesn't know...

Here’s my opinion on Health Care:

Our system is condemned to collapse. There are too many fingers in the pie.
Until we figure out Wellness care we’re sinking money into bank accounts.

We just need to push through the bubble of old people and wait for them to die off

Whereupon they will be replaced by more old people with significant health issues like diabetes, cancer, heart disease etc.

Like firearms file to the feds, the Liberals and NDP won't fix health care. It is their raison d'être, the one thing that they run elections on and badger the sitting government about until the next election. It doesn't matter how many programs, cash, doctors, nurses and hospitals are introduced, it's never enough.

Second place goes to education.

Jeez, I can just feel the inter-generational love.

im pretty sure that us boomers are going to be allowed to die off naturally. No need for theatrics

theres no emotion at all, simple demographics unfortunately it is not a one time bubble that will be over in 25 years as we have the echo to deal with as well and then we have a continual shrinking cohort

Yes but the cost of health care eats up most provincial budgets and seems to increase daily
Throwing money at health care only seems to make it worse.

 

[suffolkowner]

i think in large part because we have something like 15x per capita the number of administrators of Germany. Similar story i think for higher education

Healthcare is the perfect self-licking ice cream cone.

The hilarious thing is there isn't necessarily a correlation between healthcare spending and actual "health" itself.

Healthcare ≠ Health


Regarding this election though. Minimal investment for me and as I live in Northern Ontario the outcome is meaningless.

I'd personally be cool if we separated from Southern Ontario, moved the capital to Sault Ste Marie and kept all the mineral royalties for ourselves.

We have far too many "administrators" and "managers" in government period.
The level of bureaucracy is ridiculous.

I dont think its a government thing as the numbers are pretty similar in the US. Maybe an Anglo-American thing? Too many MBA running around?

Too many that think they actually matter. Kinda like the useless people we all know that have way too much say in things.

Well, you have your own curling team, so you are part way there.

It would be "interesting" if the various FN up there in Northern Ontario, decided to form a new Province, due to neglect and the lack of investment by the South.

OR come and join Manitoba - we can neglect remote stretches and tracts of land and people just as well as Ontario does.

Their primary beef is always with the federal government. Besides, they are far from a unified bloc on a wide variety of topics; often based on how much federal money flows their way.
