A Canadian family says they’re being subjected to cruel treatment by their government just a week before Christmas, as an elderly couple who’s been living in the same long-term care facility for years is now being forced into separate institutions.
“My parents have been together for a total of 73 years and still sleep in the same bed,” the couple’s daughter Dianne Goodine Phillips posted on Facebook on Dec. 17, a day before her parents were divided. “I feel people need to know what a flawed system we have in place. Two words describe it: ‘unethical and cruel.’”
