Letter: To Ada at Country Meadows

for your health. Why can’t the government address the simple fact that their policies are causing more harm than good? When will the government be held accountable? It’s my belief they are aware of the harm they are causing and it’s all a part of the deconstruction of what used to be our health care system. Does Ada sound like she’s being cared for? Anyone with a functioning brain knows moving elderly people like pawns on a chess board throughout the province is not only cruel and harmful to the one being moved, but also harmful to the people who care about that person. They now have to drive long hours to see their loved one. Costing them in fuel, food and lodging. No one can afford this. In turn, it also costs them in their health and the guilt they have seeing their loved ones get moved from place to place not knowing anyone or anything familiar. What a disgrace our health system is. It’s more like a slaughterhouse.

These restrictions, forced isolation, forced masking, forced medication, force feeding, are nothing short of elder abuse in the hands of our government. Obviously it is in the government’s best interests to make life as miserable as possible for these people so they will choose MAID instead of life. It is already offered to our veterans who can’t afford groceries or housing. Seeing as the government has no money for veterans but plenty for you know where. Perhaps if more people would say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, we would get better results. Will Ada’s letter make it enough? It should! It is a clear cry for help from the very place she was supposed to receive help.

I have sent a short letter to the Premier and the Health Minister of this province. I also enclosed a copy of Ada’s letter and I would encourage anyone who was moved by Ada’s letter to do the same. The people in “power” need their desks flooded, answering machines full and emails to no end regarding this atrocity. It’s the least we can do, and unfortunately, many won’t even do that. She is someone’s mother, grandmother, wife and friend. She is a human being. If her cries go ignored... it wouldn’t surprise me one bit from what I have witnessed from the past three years. Stop this insanity already!

The contrived abuse of our health care system for the past three years has now come to fruition. The very people who lived through war are being treated like P.O.W. in their own country, at the end of their time. The betrayal they must feel, watching everything they’ve worked for ...devour them in the end. Take the masks off of our elderly and the children who visit them! Despite the millions proclaimed for our health system, this measure will cost nothing and it will work wonders for the people who live and work there.

I hope your prayers get answered Ada. I cry too, although for different reasons, it all traces back to the root cause.
