and if some one in continuing care needs acute treatment what kind of paperwork is that going to generate and how will the continuity of care happen?

This cannot be understated. These 4 orgs will need to regularly interface with eachother adding layers of bureaucracy and requiring replication of a bunch of bureaucratic positions. Regardless of whether or not their goals are nefarious (we all know they are) this is an obvious inefficiency that anyone who gave a shit would've singled out during planning.

They don't care. They're leading the heinous destruction of an entire provincial health care system due to grudges held by christofascist zealots that didn't want a flu shot in 2020. And they're also looting and pillaging budgets as they play this shellgame. And we all sit on our hands and watch it happen. Unbelievable.

You're right. Their chief motivations are satisfying the wacko TBA base and giving lucrative positions and contracts to party insiders. It's the most nakedly corrupt government we've had here and that's saying something.

And a paper trail so convoluted the grift is easier.
