It’s Your Call With John Mielke John Mielke

Ontario's Premier is set to announce approval for some privately owned clinics to begin offering surgeries for things like hips, knees, cataracts... The idea being to take some of the burden off of our existing health care infrastructure.

Yet, countless people hear "private" or "for profit" and insist that this must not happen here.

I disagree.   We discuss.   It's YOUR Call.

- Where is Hudson Bay?

- In which province or provinces would you find the Rocky Mountains?

- Could they name all of the oceans that Canada touches?

- Do they know Canada has had a female prime minister?  Could they name her?

- Do they know the zipper was invented here?  The caulking gun, the paint roller?   The Robertson screwdriver?  Basketball?  The telephone?

- Do they know what signal hill is?

As the public service gets set to return to downtown after an absence of two years, our LRT has been broken down for six days and almost exclusively, no elected official in Ottawa has taken to social media to address it.

Today I ask, just what does it take to piss you off citizens of Ottawa?  
Do you not expect more from council?  The mayor?  Even after just two months on the job?

I do.

But... It's  your call.    www.itsyourcall.com
