Patients died from neglect, not COVID-19

Dozens of residents in two Ontario nursing homes hit hard by the coronavirus died not from COVID-19 but from dehydration and neglect, the Canadian military says in reports obtained by The Globe and Mail.

The documents contain new details about the deplorable conditions in two Toronto homes before the Forces stepped in last year, revealing for the first time that causes other than COVID-19 hastened the deaths of residents as outbreaks spiralled out of control and staffing collapsed.
At Downsview Long Term Care Centre, where one in four residents succumbed to the virus, another 26 died from dehydration before a military team arrived last June to provide humanitarian and medical support.

In its report on the Downsview long-term care home, the military expresses “large concern” with the timing of its arrival. “It was noted by ACCT [the augmented civilian care team] that 26 residents died due to dehydration prior to the arrival of the CAF team due to the lack of staff to care for them. They died when all they need was ‘water and a wipe down.’ ”

As well, she said, none of the death certificates issued for residents cite neglect, dehydration or malnutrition as a cause of death.


In a report released last May, the military chronicled horrific conditions in the initial five homes it assisted, ranging from poor infection-control practices to the neglect and abuse of residents.

Opposition Leader Andrea Horwath wrote to the Ontario Provincial Police last week, asking it to review whether the commission’s findings “constitute a case for criminal charges.”

Like how sickening is that? Doug Ford needs to be held accountable as well.

Doug Ford is too busy making money printing social distancing labels at his company. He made a whopping $47 Million in the last year

Yup he's one of us. A 'little' guy. Not..... He is one of the 'haves' , that he rallies his minions to oppose. Those in the boardrooms of privately owned LTC companies, that direct their company's resources, should be the ones held accountable for the disaster in LTC..... $$$ to product or profit? Money towards shareholders or residents? Ford should be held accountable, for not holding them accountable.

The ones to be held criminally responsible are those who took advantage of the situation in order to justify lockdowns on everyone and thus destroy our economy. This continues to this day without any justification. There will be a day of reckoning. Crimes against humanity.

Tam is not a politician but why does she have so much control over our government?
Same as Fauci in the US.

Non elected medical officials are running the lockdown show.
Politicians are the fall guys.
