Doug Ford’s joke about sending patients waiting for an MRI or CT scan to a new animal hospital is sad to say is a reality in Ontario due to a shortage of machines.

A good friend of mine has waited over eight months for a painful back problem.

It’s not a joke, Doug Ford , when you spend millions putting alcohol in convenience stores but short-change our hospitals’ budgets.
