And if Canadians had those jobs, wouldnt we have a bit more housing? I guess, like I said above, government is a blunt instrument. The numbers don't appear to be that bad and it's being addressed.

The 714 were Tim's hires. Where you joking as in a strain on the HC system? Is that the 'destroy it' joke? Edit: i think that was the joke. So, I googled. Ontario had 41k TFW in 2022.

It's also an overblown discussion imo, which should teach us something, whenever Poilievre creates a talking point it's probably bs. 714 workers is 0.5 workers per tims in Ontario.

Why is she making it out like the feds running the hospitals and healthcare services into the ground? She keeps saying "government", like it's not her government she's talking about. Sounds like the same thing Christy Clark did in BC.,........starve the public system and then point and say "see, we told you public services don't work". 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is currently now on day 3 of sitting on hour long holds in hope of getting through to someone so she can book an appointment. So far only to be told nothing is available and to try again tomorrow. So don't give me your garbage right now. It's too early for this.
