Health minister Sylvia Jones says the ‘ebbs and flows’ of health-care workers taking vacation during the summertime were partly to blame for the temporary closures

Ontario’s health minister says six emergency departments had to close in the province over the weekend, but argues that the situation isn’t unprecedented.

“We are doing that with all of our health-care partners, including Ontario Health, including CEOs and presidents of the 141 hospital corporations that operate within the province of Ontario.” “Hospitals are here to serve and will continue to do everything possible to meet the needs of the people of Ontario,” Dale added.

The transition to private Healthcare is well underway. See where we end up in 4 years. Ontario did this to themselves. SMDH.

It’s not unprecedented, it just shameful and the blame resides with the ford government. They are responsible for this mess.

Lol what a joke. SylviaJonesMPP is incompetent! jonesshouldresign HealthCareCrisis onpoli

Call me shocked. She did such a great job as the solicitor general. (Sarcasm)

When I become your Prime Minister the only unprecedented thing about healthcare will be how much profit my buddies will make when we privatize.

So it was totally predictable, meaning preventable.....yes... stop pretending.. Or was this planned, therefore precedented?

That is not a valid reason/excuse.

health-care in Ontario is completely destroyed by the current government and worse, they have no idea how to fix it up, in the health-care is a total mess, same as in the economy and travel

Unprecedented? I want dated precedent when this occurred and was this previous precedent under a PC government?

aka “it’s been this bad before”

Is it too much to ask that we not lockdown this time? Can you do that?

Someone really needs to get the media together and give you all the memo that you're not legally obligated to parrot back purposely misleading talking points unchallenged.

'State of Ontario’s health-care system not unprecedented' 1st official day on the job and she's already rationalizing...or is that making excuses?

Operating with dirty hands is also 'not unprecedented'. So what?

Common now

Hardly reassuring.
