Fix Long Term Care now!
The recent COVID-19 death toll in for-profit long term care homes in Ontario should act as a reminder of the broader ongoing absurdity of a public health care system that excludes drug costs and dental care. Crisis is opportunity so TorontotheBetter supports the #fixLTCFord campaign of the Ontario Health Coalition (www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca) for a radical transformation of long term care in Ontario. Profit making and health care are contradictory and a fragmented and fractured “Care” system is not a care system.

Co-ops show the way to sustainable development
Created in the 19th century to bring economic justice to the industrial working class co-operatives still have lessons for a "post-industrial" world threatened by racial divisions and environmental extinction. Working together equitably and democratically is a principle today's globalized world has yet to adopt as its guide. The international day of co-operatives [https://fairbnb.coop/2020/07/03/international-day-of-cooperatives-fairbnb-coop-will-help-to-build-the-next-economy-said-dr-scholz/] is a timely reminder of all that co-ops have to offer mainstream society. As a programme of Toronto-based worker co-op Libra Knowledge and Information Services [http://www.libraknowledgeinfo.net], TorontotheBettter [http://www.torontothebetter.net/] calls on all to contact the local co-operative federation for in their area of the world for aid and advice and to follow our blog for news about progressive enterprise in Toronto and beyond.

Shocking revelations about “Prince Andrew”? Same old royal behaviour
No matter the so-called constituional monarchy that is the so-called “United“ Kingdom, ruled by a Queen, not a king, the “Royal Family” has always been above the law and long engaged in abuse of minors and women, not to say, anybody who got in their way. It is a murderous, abusive history of exploitation for which the current Queen Elizabeth now serves as a clean-up agent. Let nobody be fooled. The royals and their large salaries are the heirs of killers and abusers. All monarchies should be removed.
