In the middle of a devastating second wave of COVID-19, Doug
Ford just slashed $100 million from long-term care funding.1 2
Decades of cuts and underfunding has led to underpaid and overworked staff, a shortage of essential medical equipment and a sharp decline in the quality of care we're providing our seniors. It’s a crisis.

Now we’re in a pandemic that has killed over 2,000 seniors. But instead of learning from the first wave of COVID-19,
the Ford government is cutting even more from long-term care.4
Right now, opposition
MPPs are calling for Ford’s Minister of Long-Term Care, Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, to be fired.5 That means she's hyper-sensitive to public pressure.
A huge outcry against cuts to long-term care — in the middle of the second wave —
could be enough to convince Minister Fullerton to reverse the cuts and shore up funding for long-term care so seniors can have the level of care they deserve.
Sign the petition now.
