| 00:00 - 00:03 | So this is how they are transforming healthcare in Windsor Essex |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | They're building the new hospital south of the airport |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | It's called a mega hospital, but in reality |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | "mega" is a bit of a misnomer. It's really just a rationalization |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | Of course it's going to be a long trek around EC Row for everyone driving from the core |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | I see that, but you have to admit it's going to be a couple minutes less for county folk |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | County folk need good access to healthcare too, you know |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | But Sir, |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | Sir, |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Windsor's core won't even have an Emergency Department any more |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | And the west end is 18km from the new hospital site |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | This is pretty serious stuff. I want everyone to leave the room except you three in front. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | What was that site selection committee thinking? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | Recommending a piece of land that's not even serviced? |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | It doesn't even have hydro installed! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | How in heaven's name are we going to pay for that? |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Mayor Dilkens was elected on a promise to keep taxes the same |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | Somebody is pulling a fast one on the taxpayers |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | There's no way this is a good deal for Windsor residents |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | The Sandwich South land was only supposed to be developed when we had enough population growth. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | But Sir, we're getting hundreds of Syrian refugees |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | Even if all 25,000 Syrians moved to Windsor, it wouldn't make any difference at all! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | But Sir, you've got to be reasonable. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Transit Windsor doesn't have the wherewithal to service the city today |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | This plan will be a mega-disaster for healthcare! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Your rosy scenarios |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | You're forgetting the hundreds of vacant and abandoned properties that residents groups is photographing |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | Windsor's core is a disaster and this will only make it worse |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Why do you think Ontario's planning policy calls for brownfield development? |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | Even Windsor's Official Plan talks about intensifying the core |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | We can't afford to stand by and let them get away with this! |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | If they demolish Met and Oullette campuses, it's going to destroy those neighbourhoods, there's no doubt about it. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | I really thought Council was beginning to buy into all that new urbanism |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | But it seems nothing has changed. Nothing at all. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | I don't think I can take it any more. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | And then there's the environment. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | The government is just putting the finishing touches to their new climate change strategy |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | With a cap and trade system that's supposed to get us driving less. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | But this plan completely ignores sustainability |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | They don't care one bit about responsible land use. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | A new hospital on a farmer's field that should be growing food for the region! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Please don't cry. The O'Keefe family is quite happy with this deal. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | $6 million for undeveloped farm land. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | It's quite astonishing what they've got away with so far. The taxpayers are getting completely hosed. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Many residents don't even have a clue what's happening. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | The deal is all but done. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Or so they want us to believe. The Ministry of Health hasn't yet given the go-ahead. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | If they ask how this improves the delivery of healthcare, it could change things completely. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | It's all in Minister Hoskins' hands at this point. |
