It is true. The bureaucrats at the Ministry of Health have no feck.........
Good point.
So unfair. This analysis overlooks the important contribution of the feckless and incompetent Ontario government to this public health failure.

I just can't believe that this is a topic of discussion in 2025....
Sure, just like age-old truism tells us:

I need specialists to understand that if you tell the patient:
"I recommend a treatment... but your family doctor needs to start it."
...they will call my office *twice a day* in a panic about why your consult note hasn't arrived yet and why I haven't sent a Rx.
Please don't be that guy.
