• A growing crisis of vaccine injury cases, many still without answers or medical support
• A severe shortage of doctors and nurses, with record numbers fleeing the province or retiring
• Reports of unjust treatment in emergency rooms, including seniors left unattended and critical cases ignored
• Newfoundland taxpayers, who fund the system, being told to “wait” while they suffer
The new clinic at 50 Mundy Pond Road, approved unanimously by St.
John’s City Council, is being hailed as a win for newcomers—but for many
residents, it feels like a slap in the face.
“Who is standing up for the people who built this province?”
With no full-time replacement for the former Family Care Team East,
and many citizens now traveling hours just to see a family doctor—or not
seeing one at all—the optics of opening a segregated clinic have caused
outrage.
“We’re being abandoned,” said one St. John’s resident. “Our taxes
fund the system, but now we’re being told there’s no space for us in our
own province?”
A Two-Tier Health System?
Some are calling this the beginning of a two-tier health care
system—one where political correctness trumps fairness, and long-term
residents are cast aside in favor of policy optics.
Nobody is disputing that newcomers deserve access to care. But what
Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are demanding is equity, transparency,
and compassion—something they say has been missing since the pandemic
began.

It’s time to ask:
• Why are we building new infrastructure for new arrivals, while current citizens are being left behind?
• Where is the accountability for vaccine injury support and the collapse of emergency care?
• And why aren’t our leaders listening?
