Strike Shakes Ontario's Care System | Ottawa News
Description
Thousands of Ontario’s frontline community workers are on strike, leaving families in crisis as specialized care for loved ones with developmental disabilities vanishes. Parents scramble to fill the void, sacrificing careers and stability, while vulnerable individuals face mounting anxiety without routine support. Workers demand urgent funding and fair wages, calling out a systemic shortfall ignored by the government — which insists bargaining is between unions and employers and points to past investments. But with food banks becoming a lifeline for some staff, the human toll grows daily, exposing a broken system where families wait for a resolution that could mean life or loss.
