Emulate our system at your own risk. Ontario is a creepy, bankrupt system. The powerful enjoy abusing the vulnerable here. Be it young and poor, or old and alone.

The dishonest covert TPS, OPP, RCMP and their relations have decimated this nation. This fact is well known among Canadian born citizens and it's a national security threat for us, and our allies.


Canada has the worst record for COVID-19 deaths in long-term care homes compared with other wealthy countries, according to a new report released on Tuesday by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).

The study found that the proportion of deaths in nursing homes represented 69 per cent of Canada's overall COVID-19 deaths, which is significantly higher than the international average of 41 per cent.

In Canada, between March 2020 and February 2021, more than 80,000 residents and staff members of long-term care homes were infected with the coronavirus. Outbreaks occurred in 2,500 care homes, resulting in the deaths of 14,000 residents, according to the report.

"COVID-19 has exacted a heavy price on Canada's long-term care and retirement homes, resulting in a disproportionate number of outbreaks and deaths," the report's introduction says.

The study, which primarily focused on the first six months of the pandemic, found that across the country, nursing home residents received less medical care. They had fewer visits from doctors, and there were also fewer hospital transfers when compared with other years.
 
Maybe this story is true but being the skeptical type, I can't help but think a few US governors could be using this to deflect attention from their own deadly decisions.
