Most provincial governments in Canada are too trying to choke off social medicine (i.e. Canadian health care system) so corporates can come in and do a “better job”. Conservatives are pretty blatant about it.

Yep. Alberta is currently breaking up Alberta Health Services in a clear "Divide & Conquer" attempt.

I guess another warning is to keep your eye on public education too

And utilities and transport and prisons, no public responsibility should have private interests in control.

Hopefully Labour will do something revitalise my NHS which has been absolutely raped by the greedy criminals current in charge.

Canadian voters do a good job at supporting conservatives.

Bless the BCNDP. I disagree with them on various issues but kneecapping our healthcare system is not something I'm worried they'll attempt.

I mean, Alberta is. I don't really feel that in BC. Not sure about other provinces.

It's really bad in Ontario. Wait times are regularly hitting ~20 hours in our emergencies and it's near impossible to get a family doctor.

edit: but at least we'll have beer in corner stores next year! 🙃

Buck a beer changed my life. Thank you Ford voters. /S

And to imagine, people in QC sometimes drive to ON for emergency care because our wait times are even longer.

Similar here in the UK. Its like, yeah, even if the model you're proposing was better (it isnt), you can tell for a fact that its for the benefit of the wealthy and at the expense of the 99%, simply by whos saying it.

I mean, its like taking parental advice from a convicted paedophile. In the same way, why would anyone take advice on socialised medicine from someone you know is trying to fuck your socialised healthcare system.
