## Resource

Ontario’s health ministry confirms it never gave FIFA VIPs priority medical treatment during the World Cup — despite FIFA’s demands — and insists care will always be based on medical urgency, not status, even during major global events. Internal documents from early 2024 show officials rejected FIFA’s requests as inconsistent with provincial healthcare principles, and no formal commitments were ever made. A January 2025 email reaffirms this policy, echoing how services were handled during the 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
