🇨🇦 Four hospital workers assaulted every day is now just normal Ontario

At St. Joseph’s in Hamilton, management now says four staff members will be assaulted on the job today. Not this month, not this year, today. Reports of violence are up nearly 30 per cent, and 95 per cent of 4,700 nurses surveyed said they faced workplace violence or harassment in the past year, as reported. The regime that can’t keep ERs staffed also can’t keep nurses from being punched, screamed at, cornered, groped, or racially abused.

And what does the system offer after a decade of Trudeau-era decay, mass intake, social fragmentation, and permanent institutional overload. An exhibit. Photos, videos, awareness campaigns. Perfect late-liberal theatre: document the collapse, curate the trauma, never touch the causes. Short staffing, burnout, public disorder, zero consequences, and a political class addicted to importing pressure into already broken services. This is what sovereignty erosion looks like at home: Canadians paying more for a health system where workers need trauma management just to finish a shift.
