As Global News (Oct.28, 2013) reported, Kathleen Wynne's Ontario Liberals are denying cancer-treating drug therapy to a Milton, Ontario, mother.
Yes, you read this correctly: this is the single-payer-pushing, monopoly-enforcing Ontario Liberal government of Kathleen Wynne which is denying the cancer-treatment drug Avastin to an Ontario patient.
This is also St.Catharines Liberal hack MPP Jim Bradley who is denying cancer treatment to Ontario citizens. (This is the same Liberal hack Jim Bradley who would like you to believe that... ummm... that it's Mike Harris doing this..!)
But you will NOT hear a peep of concern about this from the Jim Bradley Fan Club (aka St.Catharines Standard). After all, what's any of this gotta do wid Ole Jimmy, anyways - right??!! Far be it for Grant Lafleche, Doug Herod, or Don Fraser to bother asking Ole Jim Bradley about why his Liberals are denying cancer treatment to Kimm Fletcher.
Feh: this ain't got nothin' ta do wid our boy Jim Bradley! Liberal Jimmy means well! Why should we bother Ole Jimmy?!
And after all - doncha know? - the 'Planet Is In Peril', according to the St.Catharines Standard and Jim Bradley!
After all - doncha know?! - Liberal MPP Jim Bradley is gallantly Battling Evil Conservatives and Oil Barons!! Jim Bradley is Fighting Climate Change to Save The Earth from DOOOOOOOMM!!!
That is what is important here: to divert readers' attention from Ole GreenFear Jimmy's role in denying cancer treatment to Ontario patients, and thereby exposing - once again - MPP Jim Bradley's Liberal healthcare duplicity!! Why, it's just best that the local Niagara press not write about it!! Why bring attention about Ontario's cruel Liberal Environment Minister Jim Bradley being more interested in the Planet than the patient - right?!
Ontario's Liberals do not want Ontarians to ask about, or to remember, why Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin had to investigate the "cruel" McGuinty government's pathetic behaviour in the Suzanne Aucoin case: see Liberal Healthcare Duplicity - pages 8, 9, 45, 56, 62 ,69, 70, 71, 72 ,73 ,74, 75.
Niagara's Liberal-ass-kissing press won't be asking Ole Liberal Jim Bradley about the parallels between Kimm Fletcher's struggles with Wynne's Liberals now, and Suzanne Aucoin's struggles with McGuinty's Liberals several years ago. (After all, who was Suzanne Aucoin, anyway?! What's she got to do with any of this?! see here; here)
Of course, Kathleen Wynne knows all about Ombudsman Andre Marin's report regarding Suzanne Aucoin: Wynne was a loyal Liberal MPP from day one - from 2003 - happily and proudly supporting Smitherman's and McGuinty's dirty drug-denying-deeds.
Wynne stood proudly with her Liberal colleagues Bradley, McGuinty and Smitherman, while they refused to call a C.diff inquiry in Ontario, when hundreds of infected patients were dying!
Wynne proudly cheered as Greg Sorbara raised the McGuinty health tax, after her lying Liberals campaigned on NOT raising any taxes!
Wynne was a very proud Liberal when her Dear Leader Dalton McGuinty walked away from cancer patient Mike Brady! (What... have y'all forgotten about that proud moment of Ontario Liberal smarm?! Kathleen and Jim Bradley hope that you'd forget!)
Wynne was a proud Liberal when McGuinty abandoned the people of Caledonia; when her Ontario Liberals passed their secret G-20 law; when her Liberals were using secret-code names to vapourize a billion dollars from Ontario's treasury, in order to to buy themselves an election.
Wynne was proud of her Liberal government's disgusting deeds. Wynne was already in McGuinty's cabinet when Ombudsman Marin released his Aucoin report, which called McGuinty's Liberal healthcare system a "cruel game".
Now, Liberal Premier Kathleen "Cruella" Wynne is proudly playing the very same "cruel game" with patients' lives, which her hallowed predecessor Dalton McGuinty had played.
Obviously, Niagara's Liberal-besotted press can't bring any of that up, eh?!
Unless it would be to try to make Wynne or Jim Bradley look good - which is exactly what Niagara's press did manage to pull off with Bradley vis-à-vis Aucoin: portray Liberal hack Jim Bradley as some kind of hero in Aucoin's struggle, rather than examine Jim Bradley as one of the main perps causing her troubles, due to his single-payer-pushing monopolism.
Jim Bradley and his Liberal monopolists WERE the 'problem' when it came to Aucoin's dilemma; yet Bradley was carefully rehabilitated in the press and somehow portrayed as having nothing to do with any of it!! Now, it looks like Ole Katy - the McGuinty cruel clone - has nothin' to do with it either.
No St. Catharines Standard Sun Media reporter will dare ask Katy Cruella Wynne about why her Liberals are denying cancer treatment to this Ontario patient!! Lafleche and the other Standard hacks have had weeks to ask Premier Cruella or Jim GreenFear Bradley about it.
The St.Catharines Standard's Bradley Laundry Team still hasn't yet unwrapped Ole Jim from his last Cone Of Silence treatment, surrounding Jim Bradley's reaction to the Auditor's gas-plant report! There has been NO local coverage of Jim Bradley's reaction to the revealed billion-dollar-plus cost of Jim Bradley's GreenFear-instigated bungled gas-plant/seat-buying fiasco!
How many cancer patients would have benefitted had Ontario not been subjected to the horrendous costs of Bradley's and Smitherman's GreenFear fiascos?
Rest assured: No-one from the St.Catharines Standard will dare ask Ole Liberal Buddy EnviroJimmy about that!! (...of course, the Standard hacks would be earnestly and busily asking all kinds of questions - - - had it been a Conservative government minister..!)
Yep: it's just that easy in Niagara for Liberal MPP Jim Bradley to pull his BS over and over for three decades, and get a free pass while doing so.
- Just look at Doug Herod's fine piece of Bradley worshipping-stenography in the Nov.2, 2013 St.Catharines Standard.
Egads:
- was Doug finally going to ask EnviroJimmy about how Jimmy's GreenFear bolshevism led to Ontario's Liberal billion-dollar gas-plant scandal, which caused the resignation of Dalton McGuinty?
Yowzers:
- was Doug finally going to reveal Bradley's reaction to the Auditor's gas-plant report?
Gosh:
- was Doug finally going to ask Jim Bradley about his still-secret-as-of-2013 "scientific proof" for AGW?
Yikes:
- was Doug about to ask why Jimmy and his Liberals are still denying cancer care drugs to Ontarians, the way Bradley and his Liberals had done to Suzanne Aucoin??
Sheesh:
- don't worry about Doug bothering Good Ole Jimmy with pesky questions about any o' that!!
Nope:
- all we got from Doug was a predictable puff-ball non-story (...y'know, the kind Don Fraser would do...) of dinosaur Bradley waxing on about the Good Ole prehistoric days, when politics (apparently to Jimmy) were "more jovial" and "people were buddies with one another even though they were of different political stripes, as opposed to trying to kick each other in the groin".
Funny:
- Doug Herod never reported asking Buddy Liberal MPP Jim "I hate doctors" Bradley about how many groins Bradley has kicked.
Yep:
- Doug Herod, loyal Standard stenographer, blissfully left Bradley's kumbaya BS unchallenged! Why, gosh, if Jimmy said it, it must be true; therefore, it cannot... MUST NOT... be questioned!!
Why, golly, Doug Herod was just dutifully helping zip Ole Liberal Jim Bradley into yet another comfy Cone of Silence!!!
It is as if the act of questioning Liberal Jim Bradley's failing, hypocritical health monopolism was/is kryptonite - anathema - to the personal agendas of Jimmy's Fan Club.
When it came time for examining Jim Bradley's sordid Liberal politics, Liberal-parroting stenography took precedence over journalism in Niagara's press. Often, this well-crafted, thoughtfully-spun, Lib-friendly biased stenography is still simply passed off as being 'journalism', no other viewpoints need apply. Criticism of Jim Bradley's Liberal politics is not appreciated, practically verboten.
- Just look at Grant Lafleche's masterfully phony "editorial" in the Oct.23, 2013 St.Catharines Standard, whining on about "home care funding" - yet LaFleche purposefully neglects to mention anything about the Ontario Liberal government, or of local St.Catharines monopoly-pusher Liberal Jim Bradley!
Lafleche carefully alludes to "the" or to "our" "government" and its "hollow" promises, but Gaia-darn-it, Ole Grant just can't bear to mention Jim Bradley's or Deb Matthews' Liberal roles in any of this!
Now, that's some finger-lickin'-good Warren Kinsella-zation at work in Niagara's press! Give Ole Grant anudder award!!
Hypocrite Liberal MPP Jim Bradley is the one 'kicking' Ontario's cancer patients 'in the groin' - but you can't trust that a St.Catharines Standard columnist would dare write about that.
- Just look at another earlier laughable Grant Lafleche "report", "NHS faces $12 million shortfall; No new funding; savings must come from within" (St.Catharines Standard, Oct.10, 2013), where Grant slants his "report" and purposefully fails to mention that it is Ontario's LIBERAL government which is underfunding the Niagara Health System!!
Ole Grant LaFleche flushed that fact down the propaganda toilet!
Gawrsh - why drag any Liberals into this - eh, Grant?! What could Liberal health-care-monopoly-pushing hack Jim Bradley have to do with any of this... eh, Grant?!
LaFleche didn't mention that it is Liberal Kathleen Wynne now underfunding the NHS, just as Liberal McGuinty had done before her, through the Liberal LHIN bureaucracy, which McGuinty and Smitherman had created. What's that gotta do wid any o' dis - right Grant?!
LaFleche didn't mention that the NHS is being underfunded (not by "Queen's Park", as Ole Grant likes to deceptively spin it) but by Kathleen Wynne's Liberals with the fawning support of Andrea Horwath and her NDP socialist enablers!!
Good Ole Grant conveniently doesn't see any connection here, between his story, and the political single-payer-pushing enablers who have allowed the underfunding to continue! Nothing to see here folks... move along now. Hey: lookit Rob Ford! Lookit!! Way over there... Lookit!!!
In fact, this is not a "new" story at all: the same underfunding crap has been going on with Ontario's Liberal healthcare monopolists and the NHS for nearly a decade now.
LaFleche - of course! - did not bother to get local Niagara Liberal hack MPP Jim Bradley to explain why his Liberals continually manage to underfund Niagara's hospital system, yet at the same time (in order to ...ummm... "save the planet") Jim Bradley's Liberals manage to blow a billion bucks on their GreenFear-propagated gas-plant fiasco.
Great Gaia - why would Ole Grant bother askin' Ole Jimmy any o' dis stuff...?!
The Standard isn't allowed to ask Liberal Jim Bradley anything about 'righting' his own Liberal wrongs!! hahaha (...and this is nothing new for LaFleche!)
LaFleche writes: “There is still a lot of work to do on this, obviously, but we are going to have to make big and bold decisions,” interim CEO Sue Matthews said.
Matthews said the NHS has a clear process that dictates how it can trim money from the budget. The NHS first looks to increase revenue, including parking fees, cafeteria prices, rent and other services. Next, it can look at cutting back administration and support services, which also includes infection control, laundry, food services and hospital management. "
LaFleche - strangely hahahaha - doesn't bother asking anybody - certainly not any Liberal - about Sue Matthews' cost-cutting comments, and LaFleche just let the comment about cutting back on infection control, slide right by, without any examination whatsoever!!
Yep: can you imagine the smug, sanctimonious uproar from the St.Catharines Standard's Bradley Shoeshine Club, had this been said by an NHS official while a Conservative government was in power?!
We'd never the hear the end of the Bradleyites bleating about it!
Yet - under Jim Bradley's watch - talk about cutting infection control in Liberal-monopoly-enforced hospitals is simply just sloughed off, simply ignored, simply goes unchallenged by the St.Catharines Standard Bradley Butt Kisser!!!
Suddenly: no-one cares! Isn't that astounding?!
Better give Grant anudder coupla awards... cuz, gosh, he deserves them!!
- LaFleche - strangely hahahaha - didn't even bother to interview St.Catharines hack Mayor Brian McMullan about any of this, either.
After all: the Standard liked to get Mayor McFullofit to blab on about healthcare, when it was convenient to have a proxy for Jim Bradley, while Bradley was warmly wrapped in one of his many media-enabled Cones Of Silence!
Why didn't LaFleche provide any comments from Mayor McFullofit this time?!
After all, we should recall how Mayor Brian McFullofit was sanctimoniously blabbering in June of 2011 (during Niagara's Summer of Liberal C. difficile Death) about how he wanted to know why the C. difficile outbreak happened in Niagara, and how to prevent it from happening again!!
Yes: that's what the supposedly-oh-so-concerned St.Catharines hack Mayor Brian McMullan was saying in June of 2011; yet, hypocrite McMullan never bothered to actually do something about it at the time, such as demand that a public inquiry be called into the Liberal's deadly C. difficile fiasco.
Mayor Brian McMullan just needed to pretend that he 'wanted to know how it happened', but really, Mayor McFullofit didn't give a sh!t about how it happened, neither then, nor now. It was just baseless rhetoric. It was all a show.
And so now - in 2013 - when the cutting of hospital infection control in St.Catharines rears its ugly head again - St.Catharines Mayor Brian McMullan - the shameful hypocrite hack - buries his head in the sand, and now has nothing to say about it!
But, oohhhh, just two years ago, how desperately Mayor McFullofit had wanted us to believe that he cared...
that he cared so much...
and that he cared oh-so deeply...
and that he really 'wanted to know how the outbreak started'...
and that he really 'wanted to know how to prevent it'!
What utter pretension, what utter crap! What a con!
Yet now, the St.Catharines Standard cannot bring itself to ask St.Catharines Mayor Brian McMullan if he's concerned about the NHS's recent talk about cutting infection control measures vis-à-vis Liberal underfunding!
Can't dare criticize Jim Bradley's Liberal single-payer health-care despotism, y'see.
When it comes time to discussing infection control in Jim Bradley's Liberal health monopoly, you can trust that the Jim Bradley Fan Club in St.Catharines will loyally cover up for their Boy Bradley, in the same way the Standard disgustingly covered up for Jim Bradley during the NHS's Summer of C. difficile Death.
(Lafleche himself reported in one of his stories ("C.diff is back: Outbreak in Falls", St.Catharines Standard, Dec.8, 2011) about Sue Matthews at that time saying that 'maintaining enhanced infection control measures at NHS sites will cost about $1 million annually' - and this was above what the 2011 Summer of Liberal C.diff Death hard dollar costs were. Lafleche reported that Matthews in Oct. 2011 had said that the costs of that killer Niagara NHS outbreak were estimated at $1.5 to 2 million. Yet, by 2013, Lafleche failed to mention any of that stuff from 2011! When Sue Matthews brought up the spectre of hospital infection cuts in 2013, why didn't Lafleche refer back to his OWN 2011story, and question Matthews about that very same important topic? Lafleche ignored the issue of infection control cuts under Liberal rule, and let it just slide by...)
Ontario Liberals Dalton McGuinty, George Smitherman, and Jim Bradley denied cancer coverage to Suzanne Aucoin, until Ontario's Ombudsman had to investigate the matter; now Liberals Kathleen Wynne, Deb Matthews, and Jim Bradley are doing that again with Kimm Fletcher.
It's the same thing, all over again - it's Aucoin-Redux. It's George Smitherman morphing into Deb Matthews; its Deb Matthews channeling Smitherman. It's Groundhog Day starring health-monopoly hack Jim Bradley. It's Jim Bradley and his healthcare-denying bait-and-switch Deja-Vu Revue. Guess the same Ombudsman will now have to investigate this case as well. At least Andre Marin has seen this health-horror-movie before, and is now familiar with the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals' two-faced tactics.
Niagara's press is surely already developing angles to shield, cover, and divert attention away from their glittering jewel Jimmy Bradley.
Once again, the press' protective Cone of Silence will be lovingly lowered upon Liberal MPP Jim Bradley by his fifth-columnist sycophants.

See writer Lori Williams' plea to the Liberal health-care-cutter Kathleen Wynne http://www.thespec.com/opinion-story/5768423-dear-kathleen-wynne-please-find-this-woman-a-hospital-bed/ (Hamilton Spectator, Jul.31, 2015):
"Dear Ms. Wynne:
-
Does any Ontario Liberal - such as Liberal MPP Jim Bradley - care about any of this?!?
Patients suffering in Ontario - who cares about that?
Liberal hacks Jim Bradley and Kathleen Wynne have a Planet To Save!!
By July, 2015, Kathleen Wynne, on behalf of the provincial Ontario Liberal Party, was busy polluting a federal election campaign with her disgusting ideology (and acting as a proxy for Justin Trudeau) rather than acknowledge and rectify the demonstrably colossal failure of her own disgusting Liberalism in Ontario.

At least Andre Marin has seen this health-horror-movie before, and is now familiar with the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals' two-faced tactics.
Niagara's press is surely already developing angles to shield, cover, and divert attention away from their glittering jewel Jimmy Bradley.
Once again, the press' protective Cone of Silence will be lovingly lowered upon Liberal MPP Jim Bradley by his fifth-columnist sycophants.

See writer Lori Williams' plea to the Liberal health-care-cutter Kathleen Wynne http://www.thespec.com/opinion-story/5768423-dear-kathleen-wynne-please-find-this-woman-a-hospital-bed/ (Hamilton Spectator, Jul.31, 2015):
"Dear Ms. Wynne:
I am writing you today in regards to Laura Hillier, the young woman in Burlington who, with intense treatment, is currently in remission from acute myelogenous leukemia. She is 18 years of age and just recently graduated in my daughter's class from Nelson High School.
Laura and her family were elated to find out that there was more than one match for Laura to move forward for a stem cell transplant recently. Imagine what that kind of news felt like for Laura and her loved ones! Except that they very quickly found out that Laura would not be imminently receiving the transplant due to a lack of beds. What a blow this must have been to them.
The chemotherapy drug that Laura needs to endure to keep her cancer in remission has already caused permanent damage to her vision. It caused a brain infection that spread to her retina. Having this treatment again for an extended period of time while waiting for a bed seems unruly and cruel to put it mildly and may result in further damage or even worse.
Although I do not know Laura, I know of the worry and struggles of someone battling this horrible disease called cancer.
Through my daughter Meghan, I know that Laura is not only an incredible student but also an incredible person. She has set an example to her graduating class of how life should be lived by everyone. Her positivity, infectious personality and zest for life shaped approximately 400 students at Nelson and as an extension, their families as well.
I have never met Laura but I partially credit her for showing my daughter how life should be approached which is a quality that is invaluable especially as Meghan moves on to university in the fall. As I sit here thinking of all the planning that comes from sending your child off to university, I can't help but think of Laura.
I have always taken for granted that Meghan would go through elementary school, high school and then university and we are fortunate that all of this has occurred. All parents think of this, but that has not been the case for Laura's mom, Frances Hillier. Instead of getting ready for university, Laura is in the fight for her life; instead of Frances thinking about meal plans, supplies she needs and Skyping with her daughter, she is worried that a bed will not become available in time to save her precious daughter's life.
I have read all the articles on wait-lists, the different kinds of stem cell transplants and the "strained system" but that is little comfort to Laura and her family. We are fortunate to live in a country where we pride ourselves on equality and justice for all. We need to do everything in our power to find this young lady a bed so she can move on with her treatment. I implore you to provide the necessary support this family needs to provide Laura the provisions to move forward with her stem cell transplant.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Lori Williams

Does any Ontario Liberal - such as Liberal MPP Jim Bradley - care about any of this?!?
Patients suffering in Ontario - who cares about that?
Liberal hacks Jim Bradley and Kathleen Wynne have a Planet To Save!!
By July, 2015, Kathleen Wynne, on behalf of the provincial Ontario Liberal Party, was busy polluting a federal election campaign with her disgusting ideology (and acting as a proxy for Justin Trudeau) rather than acknowledge and rectify the demonstrably colossal failure of her own disgusting Liberalism in Ontario.
