TORONTO – Premier Doug Ford is set to make an announcement related to long-term care today, a day after a military report revealed allegations about five homes that the premier has called “horrific.” Ford called in military assistance last month for five long-term care homes dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks.
The Canadian Armed Forces members say they observed cockroach infestations, aggressive feeding that caused choking, bleeding infections, and residents crying for help for hours.
Ford says Ontario has launched a “full investigation” into the allegations and will share the results with police so they can look into any possible criminal charges.
