(LifeSiteNews) — Ontario Health at Home is enforcing its COVID shot mandates for new hires, despite ongoing staff crises across the country.
In a newly posted job description, Ontario Health at Home advertises for a project specialist to assist with at-home care for Ontarians, while also insisting that candidates be “fully vaccinated” against COVID.
“We have a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy,” the posting reads. “As a condition of employment, all employees are required to submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination status prior to start date.”
Ontario’s continued enforcement of COVID shot mandates comes after all other provinces have lifted the mandate. In 2022, Ontario updated its policy to remove provincial jab requirements but encourages medical agencies to enforce the mandates on their own.
Now, while the provincial mandates have been officially dropped, power given to bureaucrats during the height of the COVID “pandemic” has allowed shot mandates to be enforced in hospitals across the province.
While some hospitals offer religious or medical exemptions, healthcare workers have told LifeSiteNews that these are rarely granted, meaning finding work as a healthcare worker is nearly impossible in Ontario without COVID “vaccination.”
Furthermore, Ontario is suffering from a severe staffing crises, which is only exacerbated by preventing unjabbed health care workers from offering care.
A 2024 appeal from Ontario physicians revealed that 2.5 million residents of the province are currently without a family doctor.
According to new data, the number of Ontarians without a family doctor has risen from 1.8 million in 2020 to 2.5 million as of September 2023. The data further revealed that more than 160,000 people were added to the list in a six-month period alone
As LifeSiteNews previously reported, Ontario will need 33,200 more nurses and 50,853 more personal support workers by 2032 to fill the healthcare workers shortage – figures the Progressive Conservative government of Doug Ford had asked the Information and Privacy Commissioner to keep secret.
While the official number of nurses and other workers relieved of their duties for refusing to take the experimental injections remains uncertain, Raphael Gomez, director of the Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Relations at the University of Toronto, told CTV News that as many as 10 percent of nurses in the province either quit or retired early as a result of the mandates.
Tragically, the health care workers shortage has meant that many Canadians are unable to receive care, as the average wait sits at 27.7 weeks.
Unfortunately, the increased wait times have led some Canadians to despair of receiving treatment and instead chose to end their lives through “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAID), the euphemistic name for Canada’s euthanasia regime.
This is the case of 52-year-old Dan Quayle, a grandfather from British Columba. On November 24, he chose to be medically killed by a lethal injection after being unable to receive cancer treatment due to the increased wait times.
Unfortunately, Quayle’s story is not unique, as many Canadians have chosen to end their lives with assisted suicide as they are unable to obtain necessary healthcare.
In 2022, a Winnipeg woman wrote in her posthumously published obituary that she chose to die by assisted suicide after being refused the treatments she needed: “I could have had more time if I had more help.”
