Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner has responded to a troubling report from CUPE highlighting a severe staffing crisis in the province’s hospitals, revealing over 33,000 full-time positions are unfilled. Schreiner criticizes Premier Doug Ford for his lack of action, as healthcare workers struggle under increasing workloads, often forgoing breaks to cover essential services. He emphasizes that each dollar withheld from healthcare is a personal tragedy for families, leading to longer wait times and reduced access to emergency care. The Greens are urging the government to urgently boost healthcare funding and support for frontline workers.
