ICYMI: Today's letters: The Pope; child care; and our crumbling health system
I am appalled by the University of Ottawa’s cavalier attitude toward demolishing a daycare that provides spaces for its community, especially one that is committed to the $10/day program.
This would require cooperation between all levels of government to ensure that free rent for a daycare would continue, and early childhood caregivers could be educated in time to provide the quality of care children must be given.Health-care system asks us to suck up our painRather than sucking up pain, I much prefer to solve the problems with Ontario’s health-care system. As columnist Brigitte Pellerin points out, those who are obliged to “suck up the pain” suffer the most.
We have an aging population and pain often increases with age. We are in 2022, not 1822. Many smart students do not get accepted to attend medical school. Why not fund some of those students to pursue pain management specialities?After falling recently and having a gash on my elbow that will obviously not heal without stitches, I called my medical clinic to find out if it did sutures. I was met with quiet and confusion.
Even if residents who cannot feed themselves may have to wait over an hour to be fed, and cleaning, programming and maintenance staff have to backfill, we’re told that’s not a problem because these facilities meet “ministry standards” for staffing.
