This should infuriate you.
The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario (FAO) is out with a scathing report. Ford government’s public health-care hospital capacity will shrink by 2027-2028 due to surging demand and that Ford gov with Sylvia Jones is allocating over $21 billion less to the public sector.

So here's a list of 102 hospitals (75%) that posted a deficit in FY23 (Apr 1/22 to March 31/23) totalling 610M dollars (up 3300% from FY22)
We're adding FY24 soon. It's worse.

If Minden ER was open...
Hospitals across Ontario were built for a reason - this is what happens when they close
Instead of making the investments to keep ERs open, Ford has now created the largest cabinet in Ontario history. He is selling off our public healthcare. He’s only working for his rich developer friends. Not for Ontarians desperate to access healthcare.

Doug Ford: Lies, Damned Lies and Muskoka
Why does Muskoka get TWO (2) new hospitals & we lose ours?
Why does Muskoka get FOUR (4) EMS supervisors while Haliburton lost ONE approved position
Why has Doug diverted billions of tax dollars to the area surrounding his cottage?

$449 Billion by 2025-26, up from $323 Billion at start of 2018-2019 fiscal year (Ford became Premier a couple of months later).
That is $126 Billion added in debt in just 8 years. Nearly $16B per year. And Ford was adding over $14B per year added even before the pandemic!

The concrete roof didn't trigger the closure.
Profiteering MPPs out for personal gain over public prosperity closed it (for now) in spite of the will of the public and the expert advice of the people that built the damn thing
Roof panels schmoofpanels it's politics at play
NEW: Hundreds more public buildings in this province - including schools - have the same type of lightweight concrete roof panels that triggered the Ontario Science Centre’s closure.
Yet only the Science Centre has been ordered shut down.

The public is clearly concerned about the number of Ontario hospitals posting deficits repeatedly
- Its illegal to post a deficit
- unless Ford gov issues a budget waiver which requires a recovery plan
Multiple year exemptions negate recovery plans!
All weekend, we watched Ford's Conservative MPPs post booze lists
So here's a list of 102 hospitals (75%) that posted a deficit in FY23 (Apr 1/22 to March 31/23) totalling 610M dollars (up 3300% from FY22)
We're adding FY24 soon. It's worse.
