An independent legal opinion issued last week by a major law firm said Smith’s legislation “clearly violates” the Health Act.
Yet Mark Carney’s federal government has not intervened, despite pleas for months from health organizations, labour unions, and the NDP to use its powers, including financial penalties, to stop Alberta.
“Our government will always defend Canada’s universal health care system,” a spokesperson for the federal Health Minister told The Breach. He said the federal government would “closely assess the regulations associated with the bill.”
Since taking office, however, the Carney government has broken one promise after another on the health-care file.
Health Canada saw its funding chopped by $1.3 billion in the 2025 budget. The federal government has stopped negotiating any new pharmacare agreements with provinces.
While the federal government hangs back on enforcing the Health Act, Alberta’s privatization risks spreading across Canada.
Danielle Smith reeks of treason.
im surprised she hasnt worked with PP yet? consider they both have similar goals.
Oh another psyop to get idiots and assholes to vote against their own interests because racism and exceptionalism is en vogue among those who would chop off their own head to spite their body.
Cool.
Hmmm, I can think of something else that should be thrown out ….
She’s just evil for evil’s sake. A fucking sociopath.
It’s probably for profit. Private corps are lining up to pickup the insurance profit from any healthcare privatization effort.
Can we cancel this ishb I am done with her and Boozeboy McFatass here in Ontario. The ”My Taxpayer Money” crowd can kindly either accept the wealth hit or get that TN visa and fuck off. I was born and raised in the States - for the right price I can get you access to the book with the eagle on it but you have to promise to never come back.
I understand Carney is a “war time” PM, but come on.
Alberta really trying to be the 51st state. Get ready to join the Third World!
canada is trying to become the 2nd russia.
putins other puppet.
The sustainable solution to this problem can only come from inside Alberta.
Outside of if they could do it before separating I could only hope people would toss her out if they could feel what no public healthcare feels like
I agree with you. And I get so frustrated knowing the majority of the dimwits who voted for this won’t be the ones to feel the brunt of what they voted for. I wish it could be targeted: “Because you voted for us, you get to experience our “optimised” healthcare system first!”
