Ontarians are devastated by the dismantling and privatization of our public healthcare system by Doug Ford’s Conservatives. It is more important now than ever to send Doug Ford a message by making our voices heard. Healthcare must never be compromised by corporate interests. It must be about Patients, Not Profits!
