Long term care: much condolence, less care
The herartfelt tears, embarrasssed out of many responsible by the recent undeniable statistics of death by COVID in Canada's largely private long term care sectoor, may be genuine, but will action follow the contrition? Public enquiries or commissions will embarrass a few more but the only long term solution is government action, the kind of action few of Canada's neoliberal minded leaders are currently likely to take. To ensure universal inclusion TorontotheBetter proposes a charter of aged rights and the inclusion of all homes, private or public, in the Canada Health Act.
