How the Post Office avoided paying compenation

A short account of the perfidious actions by the Post Office to avoid paying compensation.

Even(!) if not criminal, these actions should ensure that the managers whould never be employed by a government owned organisation but I won't hold my breath.

A cocktail of toxins is poisoning our fields. Its effect on humans? Nobody can tell us

Many of the chemicals being spread as sewage sludge are untested or can’t be assessed. That’s why I’m suing for answers, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

"Premier calls the government "a corporation" because that's how he views "his government" - an opportunity for big business to make big bucks - especially if he can make $$$ for his pals while fleecing the public of prime farm land, quality education, and public healthcare."

Best healthcare system in the world (for stockholders):

Doctors, patients try to shame insurers online to reverse previous authorization denials

“They take in premiums and don’t pay claims. That’s how they make money. They just delay and delay and delay until you die. And you’re absolutely helpless as a patient.”

True story…

I had a 50ish patient with new acute superimposed on, but different from, long-standing chronic back pain. On and they had NEW lower extremity neurologic findings. I ordered an , which was the appropriate next step at the time.

I was forced to spend two evenings on hold for something like 20-30min for "pre-authorization"… two because they hung up on me the first time. I had to re-type a 20 digit code three times as they redirected me internally… finally spoke to the "physician in authority" and… HE READ MY OWN CHART BACK TO ME!! … then blithely approved the study. <insert swear words here!>

This is my Exhibit A for . (A complete waste of my time and that was the point! Unethical, and should be illegal.) Ironically I had a very conservative approach to imaging. That was probably the first new study I had ordered for back pain in months.

In the mould of , the klan is coming for our municipal governments. This is latest in the Cons ongoing attack against local decision-making. I am all for eliminating overlap and inefficiencies, but it should be the municipal voters who make any decision on changes to local governance, not Drug Fraud.

"This map showing the Hwy 413 route through the is all you need to know about why Doug Ford wants to separate Brampton & from Mississauga.
To clarify: Mayor Brown is compliant - he will do whatever Ford wants. Mayor Crombie is not - she actually pushes back against Ford. Ford wants to ram thro 413 & carve out Greenbelt land for his developer buddies as quickly as possible."

Doug Ford's destructive will negatively impact cities & towns, & villages across Ontario.

"In , heritage plays a large role in the region’s history and tourism. This can be seen in areas such as Niagara-on-the-Lake, which is reliant on heritage for their economy, as well as St. Catharines, whose historical architecture takes up a significant part of Niagara’s wine and industry."

Senior care voices

"When lying Doug Ford said he would build "an iron ring" around Long Term Care, we stupidly thought he was talking about the residents, when he was really talking about owners and operators.
When Doug Ford speaks, take the opposite, never believe him, never trust him."

2018 Ford: “I govern through the people. The people have spoken – we won’t touch the Greenbelt."

2019 Ford: “1000% no, we’re not touching the healthcare sector, not making it a private sector”

2023 Ford: "No Ontarian will ever have to pay with a credit card. They will pay with their OHIP card."

He is deceitful. He's selling off & to his wealthy buddies & corporate donors. These players stand to make unimaginable profit at taxpayers expense.
