Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates.
“This (Bill to force seniors in to long-term care homes that are not of their choosing) is an attack on the dignity of seniors, the very people who built this province. These are our mothers and fathers who are being treated with complete disrespect by the Premier and the Long-term Care Minister, the fifth one in almost as many years.” – Wayne Gates, NDP MPP for a Niagara Falls Riding that includes Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Fort Erie
A Statement from Niagara Falls NDP MPP Wayne Gates
Posted September 24th, 2024 on Niagara At Large
NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario – MPP Wayne Gates, Ontario NDP Official Opposition critic for Long-Term Care (LTC), issued the following statement on the charter challenge to the Ford government’s controversial legislation, Bill 7:
“This government has a history of taking action that violates our Charter, like the unconstitutional Bill 124, which created a staffing crisis in health care, and has cost this province billions of dollars. I’m calling on the Premier (Doug Ford) and the Minister to repeal Bill 7 immediately, and to start treating our seniors with the respect and dignity they deserve.
“This is wrong. This is an attack on the dignity of seniors, the very people who built this province. These are our mothers and fathers who are being treated with complete disrespect by the Premier and the Long-term Care Minister (Stan Chou), the fifth one in almost as many years.”
QUICK FACTS:
- * Over 400 hundred seniors have been bullied by this government into long-term care homes not of their choosing, sometimes up to 150 km away from their homes and their families.
- * At least five seniors have also been charged under this law for refusing to be moved without their consent – in fact, one senior from Windsor ended up with a $26,000 bill because of Bill 7.
- * The number of ALC patients has gone up by 30 per cent since the law took effect.

the bullying of Doug Ford and corruption of Milton court must stop and the bullying of seniors is similar to his community destruction of mass migration out of Toronto and Brampton and greed driven flooding in Niagara falls causing poverty for seniors with insufficient accommodation for seniors with mass migration downloading. A quick mandatory removal of students with expired visas and refugees without status must be done to house seniors in hotels pending availability.
