It is Canada's national shame. What bugs me is how many smug Canadians run around thinking we are so compassionate and caring a nation.  That's crap...what we are is an attention seeking nation...refugees , Paris accord, blowing hot air at the UN. 
These do gooders led by the idiot pseudo socialist , the greatest attention seeker of all, are a bunch of fakes. Oh ya...climate change blah blah, but meanwhile don't care about our grandmothers, and fathers etc. it's not trending at the moment, thank you very much. 
What the article doesn't get right is the tens of thousands who don't even bother trying to get into LTC even though they need it  since they know it's futile until u are horribly in need, often living in your own excrement...literally.  Then u get bumped up to priority one...and other warped gate keeping  protocols designed to keep the system from actually responding to the real needs of our elderly.
