My opinion is informed by my experience as a patient. I recently tried to get my own records: months of requests, fees to multiple providers, and eventually driving to a hospital to pay for paper records in person.

In 2026, this is a policy failure. Interoperability that excludes the patient isn’t interoperability. 2/4

I am submitting a brief to the Senate committee studying Bill S-5, Canada's health data interoperability bill. I support the bill but it doesn't go far enough.

The bill mandates that vendors build systems capable of sharing data. It doesn't address the privacy laws that prevent custodians from actually using that capability. And it does nothing for patient access to their own records.

Alberta's Bill 11:

"Alberta’s government has been working hand-in-hand with the private insurance industry to potentially undermine the protections the public health care system has under trade agreements with the United States, a change that could impact the whole country by opening the floodgates for giant American health care corporations to move into Canada."

And this is the system that Canadian politicians are trying to sell us.

Don’t fall for the scam.

TL;DR: Alberta would need 11 hospitals in Edmonton and Calgary to be resourced to the Canadian average.
1/6 🏥 Why is Alberta’s healthcare system under such strain? It’s not "management"—it’s a numbers problem 40 years in the making. Let’s look at the data. 🧵 #AbLeg #CdnHealth
