Ottawa Now - Bruyere Health's frontline slated to be hit hard by incoming layoffs

March 12, 2026

Bruyere Health is laying off 55 frontline health workers, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees. It says the cuts will include 46 personal support workers and 9 nurses. Back in October, Ontario’s Financial Accountability Officer projected a reduction in 9,000 nursing and PSW positions by 2027-2028, which are largely based around the Ford government’s spending plan. CUPE estimates that 725 of those jobs would be eliminated in Ottawa, including the cuts at Bruyere. How soon will these cuts happen, and where will the pain be felt the most? Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Douglas Currier, the President of CUPE Union Local 4540. He is also a Registered Practical Nurse at Bruyere.

Where can you slaughter hundreds of people and get away with it? Only in Canada, where authorities bungled the chance to stop an obvious plot to bomb Air India Flight 182 and then failed to bring a single one of the brazen terrorists to justice. It was the most preventable horror in our history, and we seem eager to forget it ever happened — even as more violence brews from the extremists behind the worst Canadian terrorist attack ever.
