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

"Medicare has historically been a touchstone of our national identity in Canada, now more than ever as we chart a path away from our southern neighbours" @danyaalraza.com www.hilltimes.com/2026/05/06/m...

Charging select groups more for health services is not the way to build a health system Canadians are proud of. That’s why the CMA is challenging the Federal government’s decision to charge refugees an extra 30% for essential health care services. Do you agree? Lend your voice: bit.ly/4sdVxdS

Here’s how we can improve (and speed up) health-care access in Canada. It has nothing to do with private companies like Telus Health

This is the way to keep our universal healthcare in Canada - we all pay our fair share to keep everyone safe and within the system.

Wealthy Canadians can & should pay for better + faster care. The way it’s done, matters.
