    but the federal government is not enforcing the Canada Health Act

    Pretty big hint, right there.

    Here’s the thing. Carney fundamentally believes that private industry does it better. That’s why he’s looking to privatize airports. He doesn’t view healthcare any differently, he’s just not dumb enough to think that people won’t resist that a lot more strongly than a few airports. But he absolutely believes in privatizing healthcare, and he’s not gonna get in the way of any province that wants to move in that direction. So I hope you are all ready to fight to defend it, because we will not be getting any support from this federal government.

      Mark Carney will gladly kill pharmacare and dentalcare while promising to support the beloved programs while laughing at working people behind closed doors.

      You are right he is not dumb. He knows the private sector does WORSE. Higher costs offloaded on to citizens to fuel more wealth inequality is his goal. Not a functioning Healthcare system.

  • Having spent over two grueling months trying to get SunLife to cover something explicitly covered in my member documents, it really felt like dealing with a US health insurance company. Only difference is that in the US you have to do that for literally every medical expense, and the majority aren’t covered or maybe half covered if you’re lucky.

    Fuck SunLife, what a miserable experience and waste of time

      You’d love to know that SunLife also got the money to run the hard won public dental insurance scheme.
