‘Left-wing, right-wing, it doesn’t matter. It’s the same colonial bird’

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.
