Okay.. let's look at the Conservatives and their thoughts about #LTC - took awhile to find it, but I did- One paragraph on page 149. and one on page 150 of his 162 page document. He will provide "guidance for provinces without intruding on
their jurisdiction." He will work with
"provincial governments who WANT to commit to
this important project." - yeah - this alone says it all.
He's willing to give 3 BILLION over 3 years to #LTC homes to "renovate Long-Term Care Homes" to "improve the care that residents receive." How would this work? Would you
give it to the provinces or would the federal government manage it? Who would hold the provinces or the actual #LTC homes responsible? Who is the lucky person that's going to ask the provinces for receipts?
This is interesting- #PSW's some the most under appreciated workers
in the system... @erinotoole knows this- and has a plan to solve the shortage - a living wage??? lol.. no- we are talking about the Conservatives.. they would simply: "Providing priority in immigration programs to those who can work in Long-Term Care or homecare." I didn't know
they were 'pro-immigration'! And oh- Mr. Fiscal Responsibility.. how would you pay for your plan? Honestly- he 'just isn't ready, but nice hair though.'

Let’s look at the Liberal policy on #LTC.
This is interesting- while doing a little research I discovered that the in his 2021 budget Trudeau already announced an additional $3 billion dollars for LTC- over 5 years.
So, the @CPC_HQ isn’t really offering anything new- just shortening the period from 5 to 3 years.
The Liberal platform is actually promising an additional $6 billion beyond the 3 in the budget. We are talking about a total of 9 BILLION DOLLARS. The investment would be used
to improve the quality and availability of #LTC beds.
The Liberal platform also includes the creation of something called Safe Long Term Care Act- setting national standards. My concern here is the sector is presently almost COMPLETELY governed by the provinces and

Let's start with #LTC . Below is the NDP policy. Sounds good.. but the NDP is saying everything that the Liberal and even the Conservatives - except @theJagmeetSingh isn't being totally honest in PUBLIC. The policy states he will "work with the

provinces and territories take a new approach to addressing the complex health care needs of our aging population." In public he says he will fix it - not work with provinces- he will simply do it. He also talks about doing not allowing 'for profit' LTC homes- again sounds great.
Personally I would love to see it. Let's go back 6 yrs when Trudeau was elected. One of his promises was to increase funding for mental health - and he did. He went to the provinces with additional funding earmarked for mental health- remember what happened? Almost every
