Look, Canada. We need to get serious about this for a moment: two-tier healthcare isn’t just an Alberta problem. It’s convenient for other governments to sit back and let Alberta (deservingly) take the heat on this, meanwhile they’re all quietly standing by and letting it happen in other provinces (and federally). How long have we been promised fixes to our failing healthcare system? How’s that going so far?
The reality is that ALL our leaders are creating the conditions that will push us into a private system, some are just more transparent about it than others.
Flip side of #BillC5: Health of Canadians
The Canadian Cancer Society warns Carney government that its legislation to eliminate interprovincial trade barriers could "undermine (provincial) health standards"
"Provincial rules are sometimes weaker, and warns of a possible resurgence of products banned by federal regulation" (e.g. asbestos)
Bill C-5 should be changed to exempt health and environment standards to avoid weakening them
OTTAWA - The Canadian Cancer Society is warning the Carney government that its legislation to eliminate interprovincial trade barriers could undermine health standards unless it's amended to add new safeguards.
MP Don Davies selected as the new interim leader -- to succeed Jagmeet Singh -- for the New Democratic Party of Canada.
Davies is a long-time MP for Vancouver Kingsway riding in B.C.. He led the NDP negotiations with the Liberal government to advance dental care and pharmacare legislation while serving as the party's health critic, then finance critic, in the last session of Parliament.

In times of national crisis, we must remember what we are fighting for: to protect our Canadian way of life. We must protect our belief in the common good – our belief that we are stronger together. Canada will never be America. From public health care to Canada-wide child care to bilingualism, Canadians recognize that<a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://liberal.ca/cstrong/protect/" title="ReadProtect">...

Every day, ~500,000 people take the SkyTrain in Vancouver, and right now our ads are running in one of the busiest stations in the city! The message is clear: like Trump, Poilievre would sell off housing and public healthcare to the private sector — making life more expensive for all of us. #elxn45

"Let's be clear: Poilievre wants to win an election because he wants to cut health care, your pension + EI in order to give more to big corporations. He wants to ensure pharmacare cannot make it to implementation this Fall. We fundamentally disagree w/his plans to cut” ~ Peter Julian, MP
"The party believes "in the Canadian value of taking care of our neighbours"

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has written a letter to his NDP counterpart asking Jagmeet Singh to pull his party's support for the Liberal government so Canadians can go to the polls this fall instead of next year.
Virologists once said most pandemics only last 5 years, this is unfortunately only true because corrupt public health officials autocratically deem it over while everyone is still sick and dying.
