These stories have been playing out for years, and obviously are very sad. All levels of government have departments that are very familiar with demographics, and all have known about these problems for decades . We go through various elections and it never seems to come up, yet everyone knows the problem is there. The Liberals promise funds for home care, but then turn it into a power play and political football. We are supposed to cheer when billions go out of the country, or when billions will be diverted to a climate tax, and cheer as well when the provinces finally acknowledge there is a problem with long term care, by capitulating and taking the federal funds. There is no congratulation to be giving to the feds or the provinces, as they have know the problem was there, the Liberal government before this one, the Conservative government, and all past provincial governments. The issue of care wasn't a vote getter, and so it got kicked aside.
