Citizen-run vote to be held May 26 and 27 in protest of Ford government’s Bill 60; Sault voting stations include Canadian Tire, Pino’s, Airways General Store and Centennial Library
The Ontario Health Coalition is urging Sault and Algoma District residents — as well as people across the province — to cast a ballot in favour of maintaining a single-tier publicly funded healthcare system.
“It’s fundamentally undemocratic. Nobody voted for this,” said Al Dupuis, Blind River-based Ontario Health Coalition spokesperson for the Algoma District, in an interview with SooToday. While Day argued that long wait times for medical procedures violate Charter rights, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld universal public healthcare.
The OHC says that measures such as implementing Bill 60 could be avoided simply by spending more money on the existing publicly funded healthcare system.“We have operating rooms in many - in fact most - major hospitals in Ontario, that are closed at four o’clock in the afternoon or not open on weekends or are closed permanently because the province refuses to fund them and staff them.”
