Windsor & Ontario Public Health Department
While I’m in no way implying that every city & state in the US has a fantastic health department, in my opinion, Windsor & Ontario certainly do NOT.
I was in the middle of a nightmare dealing with a rental house that became toxic to my health.
I later on found out it was toxic mold, but NO ONE & I mean NO ONE from the government helped me. All they did was constantly pass the buck to the landlord & tenant board & if you know anything about them, you know it’s a waste of time going to them, as they favour the landlord most of the time. Or they passed the buck to the Canadian Public Health Department.
I tried to get Public Health to come into my home numerous times but they wouldn’t. I even had to go up the ladder & I got no warmth or sympathy AT ALL from any of them.
From my point of view, they were cold heartless individuals who clearly couldn’t care less about my health or fixing this mold toxic problem.
I even talked to I think the Ontario Public Health department & after learning that bleach does NOT get rid of mold, in fact all it does it make you & your house more toxic, I was SHOCKED to hear the guy at Ontario Public Health tell me to use bleach. It even says that on their website or it used to.
COMPLETE MORONS!
FINALLY the kid from Windsor or Essex County Public Health came in to look at the mold, saw there was mold, then wrote a report that took him weeks to send me, saying they wouldn’t force the landlady Margaret Collins to fix anything. That it was beyond their prevue.
They didn’t check behind the walls with special equipment, they just did a cursory view & if you know anything about mold, most mold spours are invisible to the naked eye & are behind walls, under carpets, etc.
I tried to get them to come in again & after numerous angry phone calls, they appeased me, but the minute the two of them came in (they sent two kids now, not just one), I knew they had NO intentions of doing their job properly.
They just took pictures, claimed it was dirt & or only minute amounts of mold, & closed the file a second time.
Anyone who thinks the Canadian government cares about their citizens LOL, think again. In 2010 & 2011 I had to finally accept that me living in Canada was toxic to my emotional & physical health. After years of being abused by landlords, I realized (this is my opinion) that the government just allows this type of abuse, which is why it continues on & has continued on since I started renting back in 1984. This time it went too far with me physically being ill & having no heat the entire Canadian winter.
Did anyone from the government care (I called multiple departments)? NOPE!
