Ah yes, Ford, who’s more interested in getting beer into our bellies and land into the hands of his developer friends, than taking care of his constituents.

Friends don’t let friends vote Tory.

This isn’t the first time apparently, though it wasn’t a loan last time: https://investbrampton.ca/italpasta-limited-invests-in-pasta-packaging-and-production-equipment-in-brampton/

I wonder what happened to those 8 jobs.

I also wonder how hard they threatened to shut down their factory if they didn’t receive the money?

Damn that’s a shame. I guess the whole country is screwed, from what I hear.

So Z became I, and I became Z? Weird.

That’s Ontario. Thanks Ford, thanks conservatives.

We’re seriously pondering a move to BC for various reasons, specifically to the island. Hopefully healthcare will be better than here!

Good question! I suppose you could ask for another referral to a different surgeon for a second opinion but I’ve no idea if you’d get an appointment. Note that it’s usually months from getting the referral to getting the appointment.

I think the chances of getting a second opinion from another doctor are ZERO for the reasons stated in the article.

The clinic we use in Ontario probably for tired of registered patients going to other doctors, but we had no choice. We couldn’t get appointments with our doctor for weeks if not months. They started displaying posters warning us against going to other clinics but I don’t recall there being any of getting struck off the list as a result.

The clinic started offering walk in appointments on Saturday mornings for registered patients as well as evening appointments for more urgent, non emergencies.

Now they’re slow starting to charge for more and more small things that used to be covered by OHIP.

Go to other stores and find cheaper lesser brand alternatives. It’s worth it.

I closed my accounts at TD years ago because I was tired of sales pitches every time I went into the bank for any reason.
