Toronto's largest hospital network cut 28 nursing jobs, impacting a kidney care unit, amid reports of burnout and increased violence. The University Health Network cited advances in kidney treatment for fewer dialysis patients, leading to staffing adjustments. Nurses' union president Erin Ariss called the cuts "absurd" and "shocking." This follows 700 front-line health-care positions cut in Ontario since January 2025. Other provinces like Nova Scotia and British Columbia are implementing measures to retain nurses.
