"The Ford #Conservative govt refuses to reveal which private companies were awarded the province's home care business. "
(In Windsor where my daughter is living it is Maxim home healthcare for initial home from the hospital med. supplies)
I want to know who is running O H at Home because my daughter has to use their services as does my husband.
When my husband needed help the first time he had to have a "health assessment"
beforehand which involved a personal "interview" and a very lengthy list of questions, right down to **very minor** health issues. I was the one who answered the questions because I have Powers of Attorney. The number of, and the type of questions, was rather unsettling so I asked just exactly what private company was involved. The regional coordinator* (see footnote) insisted O. H. at Home was not private. When I brought up that the private medical supply company *they insist* my daughter use was double billing (and could prove it) she frowned and quickly dismissed my concerns. Is there fraud?

*I am wondering about the "harvesting" of personal health information by the province. They want to know Everything even down to if you ever get constipation or the last time you had a cold. Is Doug preparing for private health insurance? Is he selling out health history to companies?

@intothewestaway
yup. gotta agree.

Hey, folks be careful what photos you are sharing because I noticed a couple of computer generated today, and just recently, that are being used to manipulate your feelings and opinions...even about wars.

Make sure when you see one that causes your emotions to soar, you check the original source, don't just assume it is real .

Here's a guide to help you learn to screen photos...also an interactive article to help you practise spotting Deep Fakes.

️ Please Boost this...thanks.

@Tribear
No I am Canadian, in Canada. I used to live in BC, on Vancouver Island.

@Tribear
We don't have "ex-pat Canadians" in Canada <looks around confused>
I'm living in the same country as you.
Actually, I lived on the Island as you once did...

@dgar
Sorry, I haven't seen white ducks here...maybe you have them 'down' there?
That's probably why I didn't get the joke, sorry.

Dear Climate Change deniers:

here's proof climate change is real- you no longer can go skiing in the Alps because there's not enough snow and artificial snow simply melts.

"With ski resorts closing due to climate change and uncertain snow cover, Eloise Barker says you shouldn’t abandon the slopes – but instead adapt to them "
