@gemelliz And Trudeau could stop him any time he wants by actually enforcing the Canada Health Act. He has a working majority because the NDP would back that. Privatization is happening in every province in this country so there's no escaping the conclusion that it's a federal policy to pretend not to see it as it metastasizes.
