Orange – Should Make Us ALL Red
It’s not that it happened. McGunity, Smitherman even a Mathews – what else would you expect?
After all we’re the same bunch that thanked Mulroney for telling us how he stuffed cash into envelopes and stored it in his basement, and then gave him 2 million bucks for “coming out” – a second time. Yes the total was over 4 million.
It may not even be that ‘they’ can’t tell where millions went – someone even used the “billion” word.
It’s not even Ms Mathews saying what McGunity has often said – “this just isn’t good enough, the people of Ontario deserve and expect better” – Dalton has used the line several times, now Deb co-opted it from him...think she asked permission?
What it really is for me tonight .... the finding that Toronto’s emergency medical service charges the good people of Ontario $1,700 to Ambu-transfer a patient between hospitals. Yes – One Thousand and Seven Hundred Dollars.
Now I know they have to have a driver, 2 skilled people, clean sheets, a nice truck, insurance, a dispatcher, a car wash even a refill of oxygen tanks – but $1,700 ??? Huh?
The system is NOT too expensive to run. Instead – it’s run by folks spending “our” money, not theirs.
