“Understaffed”

People who work in the Canadian health care sector constantly complain about being overworked and understaffed.  Despite what the people in charge say they seem quite happy and willing to continue downsizing. 

VICTORIA — B.C.’s health minister called Tuesday a “solemn day” as 4,090 health care workers missed the deadline for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and were placed on unpaid leave before they could potentially lose their job.

Montreal- The Lachine Hospital will be closing its emergency room overnight starting Nov. 7, the McGill University Health Centre confirmed on Monday. “ER will be opened from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. seven days a week. The ICU will also close,” said MUHC spokesperson Gilda Salomone.

As this is going on it looks like The Epoch Times is the only outfit willing to actually talk to the people getting canned.

  1. are there more emergencies in the day or the night? day emergencies would be coughs and pains

    night emergencies drunk driver crashes , all are equal in the eyes of the gubmint

  2. It’s an underhanded way to reduce health care expenditures. Next budget update, look for the ‘what a great job we did managing health care costs’ pat on their own back.

    1. Excellent video 26er! Sent it to Kenney. Can’t wait for the yes-man health minister to re-read the AHS Covid Panel’s approved list of Ivermectin’s side effects of diarrhea and…DEATH! while ignoring that it’s more safe than Advil and Tylenol and it’s a drug that has many other purposes than horse de-wormer at the next press conference. Still it’s worth a shot that a hard hitting fact filled competently presented counter-point presentation may break a plane of ideological resistance to generate a new more helpful perspective.

  3. Governed by idiots voted in by idiots!! Remember, Queen Bonnie is not a real doctor- she is simply a bureaucrat following orders. This is not about Covid, is it?

    1. And That pathetic limpwristed Commie Adrian Dix proves one can suck and blow at the same time.
      A “solemn” day. Hypocrite.

      NDP, the “labour” party. They and their corrupt union bosses prove, Some Animals are More Equal than others.

      Nothing like self-inflicted wounds by the NDP. In this age of Covid, with the FEAR they have instilled in the sheep, which one of those does Forger Dix think will start new jobs in the various health facilities where Covid is always a factor? Um, ZERO, because COVID,!!!!!

      Yesterday’s “heroes”, today’s garbage. All for standing up for their personal health rights.

      The NDP has destroyed any ounce of credibility regarding the defence of personal rights.

      1. The NDP has destroyed any ounce of credibility regarding the defence of personal rights.

        Do you think the UCP, a “conservative” party, in Alberta’s any better? Our premier, Jason Pantywaist, let Deena the Dominatrix run the show.

        1. BADR, if the shoe fits, they wear it.

          Historically, the Dippers claim the “personal rights” territory. They just dumped it in the trash. It was always Phony, but this verifies it, though the blinded/hypnotized are on board, because COVID!!!!

  4. Um are the provinces getting federal covid funding? If so that would explain why the despots are desperate to keep the covid fear porn alive. It should be a criminal offense to order someone to get an experimental drug that isn’t approved for use. All of them should be facing trials, charged with violating the human rights of citizens.

    1. Yes. I am pretty sure they are. Provinces are being put under pressure by the Feds to go with things like vaccine mandates. Dumb Doug Ford still keeps thinking they are temporary. I believe that is how they talked him into capitulating.

  5. The good and hard.
    People’s Heroic Free Health Care. But not today. Maybe check back tomorrow. Do you know any influential party members?

  6. AHS is one of the most top heavy bureaucracies on the planet. More money is spent on administrative functions than actual healthcare. A great get rich quick scheme if you can get in as a manager.

    1. Agreed. I have heard that from more than a few working in Alberta’s health care system. The waste (as in every government department) is huge.

    1. They move them into the hallway at closing time.

      When they re-open in the morning, whoever is still alive gets re-admitted to ICU.

  7. Solemn day? That was the day the first mandate came out and people didn’t riot. Another solemn day was when “passports” started being announced and people didn’t revolt. 4,000+ health workers refusing to bow to medical tyranny is a wonderful day! God bless them and reward them for holding on to their principles.

    1. I agree, Dan.
      Dix and Henry will wear this, despite their hollow, “caring” words.
      Good on the nurses and others who have taken a stand.
      Dix said he hopes they “ will see the light” and get jabbed.
      I hope they stand their ground.

  8. All levels of government are broke and lashing about to provide some semblance of illusion of competence and control. People only have as many rights as their society can afford. How many rights did desperate people enjoy during the dirty thirties?

    1. All my real rights don’t cost government a thing, since they all involve leaving me alone.

  9. To boil this down to its simplest level, this is just one massive failure by politicians, media and healthcare providers to understand the meaning of the word “protect”.

  10. In my opinion the EPOCH TIMES is the ONLY news outlet that is credible.Period!!
    The ONLY ONE!!!

  11. The Epoch Times is the only important newspaper willing to recognize that the misfortune of the planet is not “the Zionists” but the CCP and their globalist collaborators.

  12. Ah, yes our much vaunted “Free” Health Care system. I have survived two major surgeries for Cancer in the last three years. The last one in 2020 when the surgery was cancelled as I lay prepped and ready on the gurney at the door of the op. theatre. Sent home, and not contacted for over three months. Quick Op then out the door in a week, only to be re admitted four days later in worse shape than before, they damn near killed me. Now an MRI shows something amiss. Oncologist refers for more surgery and last week I received a confirmation. The date March 22nd. 2022. Guess I will just sit around and relax while I wait and see if other parts of my anatomy deteriorate. And they want to lay off hundreds and hundreds of staff.

    1. I’m sorry to hear about what happened. I can understand some of your concerns.

      Last year, I was scheduled for a biopsy near the end of May and finally had it two months later. The wait was bad enough, but trying to find out when the procedure could be rescheduled was quite frustrating. The clinic which made the appointment had no idea what the facility that actually performed the biopsy was doing and the latter wouldn’t do anything until it got a request from the former. For several weeks, I had to play medical bureaucracy ping-pong.

      And now the system wants to sack all those who refuse the jab. Never mind they worked through last year without it…..

  13. The reaction of the province is like a scene from Atlas Shrugged where the productive quit their jobs as the ultimate withdrawal of moral sanction from career conditions that they judge to be intolerable and are berated by the parasite class for doing so.

    Should these workers finally buckle under and agree to the jab, do the authorities see no downside to having a lot of unhappy, angry employees on the payroll?

  14. Media blackout of any engagement with the “refuseniks” is just creepy. Soviet times they are here already.

  15. How will the medical community position the “narrative” around “antibody dependent enhancement”? As ADE is coming down the pipe, and a lot of old vaccinated people are going to die, does the medical community want to admit they saw this coming and did nothing? Or, do they want to tear families apart by saying Grandma and Grandpa died because the little kids didn’t get vaccinated?

    Never mind that unvaccinated are not super-spreaders like the vaccinated. Never mind that unvaccinated are contagious for a few days during that first 2 weeks of incurring COVID.

  16. That’s an army of really pissed-off potential whistle-blowers who will now be willing to share their knowledge and experience. Patriot Nurses all, working concientiously and selflessly alongside their work-mates for almost two years from the get-go, then unceremoniously tossed out with the trash. With friends like theirs who needs enemies? What a loathesome, disgusting, stinking kettle of fish!
    Hang in there, guys! This schitt can’t go on!

  17. Political health care, just like political policing. I’m sure it won’t be a problem! 🙂

  18. “Overworked” doesn’t mean the same thing in government land as it does in the real world.

  19. When a State becomes so evil that it must be destroyed,it is kinda convenient that it start destroying itself.
    The “Mandate” crossed a line.
    Moving from arrogant incompetence with delusions of adequacy,over to overbearing and evil.
    For the good of the citizen of course..
    The blessing of Dread Covid Theatre is the inescapable evidence of the true state of affairs in Bureaucratic Canada.
    We know now and cannot deny these truths.
    The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is Garbage and a lie.
    Good Government means Good for Government.
    And “Serving the citizens,protecting their rights and freedoms ” is what we have observed these last 19 months..
    Happy with that “service”?

    For me the mandate is easy.Get yourself another tradesman,I will use my new found freedom to work for your destruction.
    But it is so hard to plan for while my enemies suicide before me.
    This corrupt and graceless Kleptocracy must be destroyed,I say.
    But it is suiciding through its own incompetence and stupidity faster than I can “help it along”.

    If you are not prepared or preparing rapidly for a sudden stop in our normal programming,you had better wake up.
    Civilization is a very thin veneer we dragged overtop our tribal roots and predatory natures, we kept and cherished this veneer because it made us richer,softer and allowed the most luxurious of living..
    But under that illusion of civil society,we remain what we have always been.

    My tribe has ever been a bunch of psychopaths and savages,we just try not to invoke the ancestors too often.
    For the same love of blood,fire and adrenalin can be channelled into creating fine objects,fine structures and better tools and toys..

    But inside every builder a destroyer sleeps.
    Most of our saner religions are built around human nature and the duality of man.

    There is a reason every competent tradesman looks upon “terrorists” as incompetent idiots..

  20. AMAZING…:I love the comments from MAINE HealthCare workers….but the ignorance is strong there as well, even as they rightfully leave their profession…something that takes incredible courage.

    However I digress:
    From the article:
    “..a product still undergoing its first year of study…”
    Whoever wrote this is beyond ignorant

    UH, sorry but no. This product is at least 21 years OLD.
    As the first CovSars Vax was created in 1999…with the IDENTICAL same ingredient CAST as the current pfizer/moderna Zyklon B shots of today. When ANIMAL Tested, (more than once), EVERY Animal died…..
    All of them. US Patent 6372224.
    (And as such, it was so declared a SUCCESS)

    Followed in 2002 with the SARS Gene sequence being PATENTED: US Patent 7279327 pretty much a full year BEFORE it was ever discovered by man…!!!! imagine that.

    SARS was a Test run…
