Really? After so many years of loss of funding, cost-cutting, layoffs, political meddling and privatisation? I'm shocked. Flabbergasted I say.

If only the government actually wanted to care for the people it supposedly represents. :(

It's almost as if most MPs see their positions merely as vehicles for personal gain.

please don't let them pitch privatization as the solution 😭

That's literally the plan they have.

  • Cut funding for healthcare until it fails

  • Privatise it because "Public healthcare doesn't work in Canada."

Just like mobile networks are "more difficult to create" and why there isn't yet bullet trains connecting the country; because Canada is special.

Nooooo I hate it. I'm American and I don't want Canada to slide backwards at all, the jokes about calling an Uber instead of an ambulance are real 😵
