I hope NFLD won't be as stupid as we are in Ontario.

Unfortunately it was a “hold your nose and vote” moment for a lot of people. IMHO the vote was a response to Liberal mismanagement on many files such as health and hydro projects plus a smattering of corruption. Give the PCs time and they will prove they’re more useless and corrupt.

I guess they see how corrupt Doug Ford is and how he keeps the gravy train running for his buddies and thought yeah, this is what our province needs too. They will find out the hard way.

Finally. We need accountability in healthcare spending (or lack thereof).

Ford’s mismanagement of transfer payments borders on criminal negligence.

Health care accountability framework bill would require provinces to report benchmarks for timely access to primary care, elective procedures, & emergency care, & allows the fed govt to reduce or withdraw cash transfers, if they fail to do so.👍

I agree. While we wait on the #RCMPs Green Belt Scandal reports, he is being investigated again for misuse of funds. The province suffers due to underfunding on every human level; housing, healthcare, and education.
