AI Scribes were the test run, now Supply Ontario has lessons to learn. Check out this recent piece by @danyaalraza.com and Dr. Sheryl Spithoff about issues with Ontario's AI scribe program. healthydebate.ca/2026/07/abou...

We commissioned a new legal opinion to determine whether Alberta's Bill 11 regulations comply with the Canada Health Act. The conclusion is clear: they do not. We're calling on the federal government to enforce the Canada Health Act before Bill 11 takes effect on September 1.

"Friends of Medicare executive director Chris Gallaway noted that Carney’s quiescence 'has been interpreted purposely by those seeking to privatize and profit off of our health in Alberta as consent for what is being implemented in Alberta.'” www.readtheorchard.org/p/regulation...

Danielle Smith’s attack on Medicare & Alberta’s dual practice dead end:

These Canadian Drs hit the nail on the head! Dual practice has repeatedly failed to fix wait times wherever it's been tried. We need—& deserve—evidence-based solutions, which means strengthening & expanding our universal public health care. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Why is the federal government allowing Alberta to flagrantly violate the Canada Health Act? @alonghurst.bsky.social #cdnpoli #cdnhealth www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Succinct, elegant piece by @danyaalraza.com and Braden Manns on what "dual practice" is and does. Where's the federal Minister of Health? This is a clear violation of the Canada Health Act. Don't look away. #Never51st isn't only about fighting against Trump's chaos. It's about fighting *for* us.

Opinion: Alberta's dual practice a false promise edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

"Every day, health-care workers across Canada hold a strained system together. Last week, Alberta’s political leadership made their job harder," argues Broadbent Fellow @danyaalraza.com for the Edmonton Journal. 🩺 edmontonjournal.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-albertas-dual-practice-a-false-promise

Alberta's dual practice a false promise, Danyaal Raza and Braden Manns write. Find this article and more at canadahealthwatch.ca #PublicHealthCA #CdnHealth

My latest, with Calgary's Dr. Braden Manns. Alberta must change direction. The federal government can help & enforce the Canada Health Act. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

"The involvement of pharmaceutical companies in online prescribing platforms raises questions about the influence the companies have over medical decisions." @danyaalraza.com sees US-style medical marketing influencing Canadian healthcare decisions.

www.albertadoctors.o... Let's translate AB: When the govt says "dual practice" and "flexibility," they really mean legalized queue-jumping. AB docs just put forward 70 safeguards because without strict rules, this plan will break our already struggling health system.🧵 1/6

Opinion: Mark Carney has abandoned health care. Does his caucus care? www.hilltimes.com/2026/05/06/m...

"Surely, Canada Strong includes health care, too. Without healthy Canadians, there is no Canada Strong." Research Fellow @danyaalraza.com calls for federal leadership on health care as a nation-building project. 🔗 www.hilltimes.com/2026/05/06/m...

As Dr. Raza points out in this oped, the federal govt has failed to defend universal health care from attack in Alberta, proceeded with devastating cuts to refugee health services & has not prioritized pharmacare. Canada needs bold federal leadership on health care! www.hilltimes.com/2026/05/06/m...

From Dr. Raza: "The Liberal caucus includes seven physicians. It’s difficult to imagine they are blind to efforts that appear to embrace building the nation while somehow ignoring building a healthy Canada." #CdnPoli
