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

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.

The 🇨🇦 #Pharmacare bill, by Federal Liberal government and federal NDP, passed in the Senate without any amendments. It will inform the creation of any future national, universal pharmacare plan!

CPC Conservative party attempted to vote it down

"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"

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.

A well-covered piece on state of #CdnHealthcare w/ multifaceted issues by @laurenpelley

Emergency Rooms now beyond over-capacity = dangerous "choke points"

Respiratory viruses -- flu, RSV, and now Covid19 -- increase seasonally, but ER visits *doubled* this year into 2024

Domino effect: Huge wait times for rehab, long-term care, palliative care, etc.

Issue compounded by lack of access to primary care -- decades-long issue

🗝️Need preventative care + system overhaul
