Come and hear where the fightback is seeing some success. Working with the families of long-term care, the unions and health professionals, academics and advocates, we have forced the reinstatement of inspections and the beginning of fines for substandard care in long-term care. Ontario has the deepest opposition to health care privatization in the country, in part because of our work. Polls are indicating that approximately 80% of Ontarians think the Ford government is doing a poor or very poor job on health care. Most Ontarians oppose privatization and, no matter their political stripe, people are deeply opposed to the closure of their local hospital services.
Find out what the Ford and Carney governments have planned, and how we compare with other provinces. We will bring briefings on key health care issues, funding and the enforcement of the Canada Health Act. We will discuss what the impact of our campaigns to date has been and discuss/debate an action plan going forward.
We need to regroup, focus and build the fightback of our lives. Please attend if you can.
For those who will be joining by Zoom only:
If you are joining by Zoom, please register at this link http://tiny.cc/OHCAssembly25 and indicate how you will be paying. You don't need to fill out any other registration form if registering via Zoom.
It is a sliding scale, which means folks are asked to pay what they can. We ask that organizations that can, please pay the full amount so we can subsidize the cost of individuals and community groups. That's how the Ontario Health Coalition works.
